What it does

Script Writer is an agent skill from ailabs-393/ai-labs-claude-skills. This skill should be used whenever users need YouTube video scripts written. On first use, collects comprehensive preferences including script type, tone, target audience, style, video length, hook style, use of humor, personality, and storytelling approach. Generates complete, production-ready YouTube scripts tailored to user's specifications for any topic. Maintains database of preferences and past scripts for consistent style.

Its SKILL.md is about 4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `index.js`, `package.json` and `references/script_formats.md`).

It sits in Writing & Content, covering Storytelling and Video scripts and shorts. It works with YouTube. The repository describes itself as: This package is use to remove the hustle of finding claudeskills and shift them into any of the user project. This project become a bridge between user's usage and claude skills. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Storytelling
  • Tasks that involve Video scripts and shorts

Example prompts

  • “/script-writer”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Node.js

Workflow steps

11 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Check for Existing Preferences
  2. Initial Preference Collection
  3. Generate Script for Topic
  4. Structure the Script
  5. Write Complete Script
  6. Refine Based on Feedback
  7. Hook Creation
  8. Pacing

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1a12bc7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (JavaScript and Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Script Writer loads about 4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 112 tokens; SKILL.md has 643 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~112
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~5.9k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Opening line that stops the scroll

[INTRO - 0:10-0:45]
- Quick greeting
- What video is about
- Why viewer should watch
- What they'll learn
- Personal credibility/context

[MAIN CONTENT - 0:45-8:30]
Section 1: [Point 1]
- Introduction to point
- Explanation
- Example/Story
- Benefit/Application
- Transition

Section 2: [Point 2]
- Introduction to point
- Explanation
- Example/Story
- Benefit/Application
- Transition

[Continue for each main point]

[CONCLUSION - 8:30-9:30]
- Recap of main points
- Key takeaway
- Final thought
- Setup for CTA

[CALL TO ACTION - 9:30-10:00]
- Primary CTA (subscribe, like, comment)

Step 5: Write Complete Script

Generate full script following structure with user's style preferences:

Example Script Output:

===================================
YOUTUBE SCRIPT
===================================

Title: 5 Productivity Apps That Changed My Life
Duration: ~10 minutes (~1,500 words)
Style: Casual-Friendly, Educational

===================================

[HOOK - 0:00-0:10]

"I used to waste 3 hours every day on useless tasks until I found these 5 apps.
And no, I'm not talking about the ones everyone already knows about."

[INTRO - 0:10-0:45]

"Hey everyone! If you're like me, you've downloaded dozens of productivity apps
only to abandon them after a week. But these 5? They've actually stuck. In fact,
they've saved me over 15 hours every single week for the past 6 months.

Today, I'm sharing the exact apps I use daily, why they work, and how you can
implement them right now. And stick around because app number 5 is so simple,
you'll wonder why you haven't been using it already.

Let's dive in."

[MAIN CONTENT - 0:45-8:30]

[Section 1: App #1 - 1:00-2:30]

"App number one is Notion – but not how you think.

I know, I know – everyone talks about Notion. But here's the thing: most people
overcomplicate it. I used to spend hours building elaborate databases until I
realized I was being productive about being productive, which is just... not
productive.

[Visual cue: Show simple Notion setup]

Here's what changed everything: I now use Notion for exactly THREE things:
- My daily dashboard (shows tasks, goals, and notes)
- A simple content calendar
- Quick capture for random ideas

That's it. No complex databases. No elaborate systems. Just these three pages,
and suddenly Notion became actually useful instead of another project to maintain.

The key? Start simple. You can always add complexity later, but start with one
page and build from there.

Moving on to something completely different..."

[Section 2: App #2 - 2:30-4:00]

"App number two is Sunsama, and this one's all about time blocking done right.

If you've ever written a to-do list and then just... stared at it, paralyzed
about where to start – Sunsama solves that. It's like a calendar and task
manager had a baby.

[Visual cue: Show Sunsama interface]

Every morning, I spend 10 minutes in Sunsama planning my day. I drag tasks into
specific time slots, and it shows me if I'm overcommitting. Game changer.

Before Sunsama, I'd have 20 tasks and no idea how to fit them in. Now? I can see
I only have time for 7 tasks today, so I prioritize accordingly. It's honestly
changed how I approach my entire day.

The best part? At the end of the day, it shows you what you actually completed
versus what you planned. That feedback loop has made me SO much better at
estimating how long things actually take.

Fair warning: it's a paid app. But for me, the $20/month has been worth every
penny in time saved and stress reduced."

[Continue for Apps 3, 4, and 5...]

[CONCLUSION - 8:30-9:30]

"So there you have it – the 5 apps that transformed my productivity:
1. Notion for simple organization
2. Sunsama for time blocking
3. [App 3] for [benefit]
4. [App 4] for [benefit]
5. [App 5] for [benefit]

The most important thing? Don't try to implement all 5 at once. Pick ONE, master
it for a week, then add another. That's how these actually stick.

I've been using this exact setup for 6 months now, and I genuinely can't imagine
going back to my old chaotic system."

[CALL TO ACTION - 9:30-10:00]

"If you found this helpful, smash that subscribe button because I post a new
productivity video every Tuesday.

Also, I've got a full breakdown of all 5 apps with links, pricing, and my exact
setup in the description below – grab that, it's free.

Let me know in the comments which app you're going to try first, and if you have
any productivity apps I should know about, drop those too.

Thanks for watching, and I'll see you in the next one!"

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  1. Weak hooks - Get to the point in 5 seconds
  2. Long intros - Don't ramble before value
  3. No structure - Viewers need signposts
  4. Monotone delivery - Vary energy and pace
  5. Information overload - Focus on key points
  6. Forgetting the audience - Speak to them directly
  7. Buried CTA - Make it clear and actionable
  8. No personality - Let your unique voice show
  9. Too formal - YouTube is conversational
  10. No visual cues - Include filming notes

Example Interaction

User: "Write me a script about passive income ideas"

Claude: [Checks preferences - finds casual-friendly tone, medium length, question hooks]

Perfect! Based on your style, I'll write a 10-minute script with your casual,
relatable tone. A few quick questions:

1. How many passive income ideas should I cover? (3-5 works well for 10 minutes)
2. Any specific angle? (beginner-friendly, high-earning, low startup cost?)
3. Personal experience or research-based approach?

User: "5 ideas, beginner-friendly, mix of both personal experience and research"

Claude: [Generates complete script]

Here's your complete script for "5 Passive Income Ideas for Beginners":

[Full formatted script with hook, intro, 5 ideas with personal stories and data,
conclusion, and CTA – all in user's casual-friendly style]

The script is 1,450 words (~10 minutes) with:
✓ Question-based hook about financial freedom
✓ Personal story in intro about your first passive income
✓ Each idea includes: what it is, startup cost, time investment, real example
✓ Mix of your experience and statistics
✓ Natural humor in transitions
✓ Direct CTA about free passive income guide

Want me to adjust anything? I can make it more personal, add more data, or
change the energy level.
