At a glance

Writes or fixes spoken scripts that must fit a clock: demo voiceovers, deck narration and pitch speeches, with word budgets, storytelling rules and named trim points.

  • Works in 7 steps: Beats before words → Budget the words → Draft with the craft rules → …
  • Writing a voiceover that must match a recorded demo's timestamps
  • SKILL.md covers Steps, Re-syncing an existing script and References
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

This skill produces and repairs scripts that are spoken against a time limit, such as demo-video voiceovers, deck walkthrough narration and live pitch speeches. It treats the clock as a hard limit and the storytelling as the reason a pitch is remembered, and enforces both. It also re-syncs a script after a re-record or a new time slot, and works over scripts that read as robotic or machine-written.

Work starts with beats before words: the agent gets the ordered list of what is on screen or on stage, the fixed windows or total slot, and the claim each beat proves, and a beat with no claim is cut. It then converts seconds into a word ceiling per segment, using about two and a half words per second for voiceover and about two for live speech, and writes that budget at the top of the script.

Drafting follows craft rules from a storytelling reference: a hook before names, an analogy for each abstraction, a throughline that bookends the piece, plain words and numbers repeated where they land. Recorded and live registers are kept apart. A timing check counts words per segment, fixes overruns by cutting rather than rushing, and gives every script one or two named trim points. Written forms, deck HTML and video recording are out of scope.

When your agent uses it

  • Writing a voiceover that must match a recorded demo's timestamps
  • Fitting a live pitch speech into a fixed slot
  • Re-timing a script after re-recording the demo or changing the slot length
  • Fixing a script that sounds robotic or machine-written

Example prompts

  • “Write a pitch script for a five-minute slot, with the demo in the middle.”
  • “Here is my demo recording's milestone timeline. Write the voiceover so each line fits its window.”
  • “Re-time this narration, since the demo got shorter after the re-record.”
  • “This pitch sounds AI-written. Rewrite it so it sounds like a person talking.”

Context cost

Pitch Craft Timed Scripts loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 172 tokens; SKILL.md has 838 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~172
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~5.7k

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.

description
Write or fix any spoken script that has to hit a clock - demo-video voiceovers, deck walkthrough narration, and live pitch speeches. Use whenever the user asks for narration, a voiceover, a timestamp script, a pitch script, a speech that fits N minutes, wants it to "sell like Steve Jobs", or needs an existing script re-synced after a re-record or re-timed to a new slot, or says a script sounds AI-written, robotic, generic, or wants it de-slopped. This is also the engine the demo-video, pitch-deck, and pitch-package skills call for their scripts. Not for - written submission forms or essays (no clock), building deck HTML (pitch-deck), or recording video (demo-video).

Pitch Craft - Timed Spoken Scripts

A timed script is engineering plus theater. The clock is a hard constraint; the storytelling is why anyone remembers you. Every failure mode of a bad script traces to violating one of those two, so this skill enforces both: beats before words, and the craft rules in references/storytelling.md.

Steps

1. Beats before words

Get three things before drafting a single sentence:

  • The beats: what is on screen (or on stage) at each moment, in order. For a demo voiceover these are the recording's milestones - use the sidecar's verified t_video values, never planned holds (see demo-video's Gate 3); for a deck they are the slides; for a live pitch they are slides plus stage moments (team intro, demo break).
  • The clock: either fixed windows from an existing recording (0:16 -> 0:43), or a total slot to budget (a 5-minute pitch).
  • What each beat proves: a beat with no claim behind it gets cut, not narrated.

If the beats don't exist yet, build the beat sheet first and get the user's sign-off. For a demo film that beat sheet is demo-video's storyboard - five columns, journey coverage, Gate 1 approval - not an ad-hoc list. Prose written before beats always runs long and anchors the story to sentences instead of evidence.

2. Budget the words

Read references/timing.md and compute a word ceiling per segment (words = seconds x words-per-second; voiceover ~2.4-2.6 wps, live stage ~2.0-2.2 wps). Write the budget line at the top of the script (e.g. 5:00 slot = ~2:30 spoken + 2:36 demo). If the numbers don't fit before writing, they won't fit after.

3. Draft with the craft rules

Read references/storytelling.md and apply it: hook before names, analogy per abstraction, a throughline that bookends and is re-emphasised where earned (paraphrased, not repeated verbatim), plain words, numbers that land twice. Recorded voiceover and live speech are different registers - never reuse one as the other (see the register section in storytelling.md).

4. Timing check

Count words per segment against its ceiling. Fix overruns by cutting, never by asking the speaker to rush. Every script ships with 1-2 named trim points ("fold #6 into #7, cut #12 to one sentence, saves ~15s") so the speaker can hit the clock live without improvising.

Then run the per-window pacing check in references/timing.md: every segment's words divided by its real window must land in 2.2 - 3.1 w/s. Below that a voice model leaves audible silence; above it the read spills onto the next beat's frames. Check each window - a correct average hides the two segments that break.

5. Honesty pass

Claim only what's wired. Every factual sentence must be verifiable on screen or against the codebase. Over footage this is literal: point at the frame that shows each claim. Claims about agent actions ("it searched", "it remembered", "it chose the cheaper route") need visible evidence in the frame - a tool log, a state panel, a route badge - not just a plausible-looking screen. No frame, no claim (see demo-video/references/storyboard.md). Where on-screen labels differ from reality, use generic phrasing ("a fast model, our strongest model") instead of names that contradict the pixels. Prefer precision rewrites over impressive vagueness ("tracing relationships between accounts, not claiming it's the same banknote"). Judges and buyers probe; one caught overclaim poisons every true claim.

Show full SKILL.md (297 more words)Show less
6. Human voice - written to be said, not read

A script that reads as machine-written loses the room before the content lands. Work references/human-voice.md over every segment: the audible tells, the written-only patterns that do not apply, and the carve-outs for things this skill puts there on purpose (a throughline bookending the script is craft, not a rule-of-three tell).

Two ordering rules, both load-bearing:

  • Run this before the final pacing check. It rewrites, so it moves word counts. Cutting filler usually buys clock, so reach for it before cutting a claim.
  • Re-run the honesty pass afterwards. Rewriting for flow is how a precise claim drifts into a vague or larger one. For a demo voiceover, that means back through the claim-to-frame audit too.

Then read each segment aloud once. These patterns scan smoothly on the page and are obvious in the ear, which is the only place they matter.

7. Output in the standard formats

Recorded (chunked to milestones):

1. 0:00 -> 0:16
An analyst opens a queue of twelve hundred alerts. The rule engine closes
eleven hundred sixty-five under policy, each with a sealed reason.

Live (slide-anchored, with stage cues):

[2:35 - Slide 7 - Proof, then roll the demo]
Most demos ask you to just believe them. We'd rather show you.
(cue: click through slides 8-10 as you say it, then roll the video)
>>> PLAY DEMO VIDEO (~2:10) - this covers slides 8, 9, 10 <<<

The demo-break marker always states what the video covers, so a numbering jump never reads as a gap.

Re-syncing an existing script

When a recording is redone, milestones shift (live backends have latency variance). Map each segment's cue point to the new milestone timestamps and cut prose to the new window - never stretch prose to fill. 1-2 seconds of drift per segment is acceptable. Details in references/timing.md.

References

  • references/storytelling.md - the craft: hook, team intro placement, analogies, throughline, registers, delivery cues, honesty guardrails. Read before drafting.
  • references/timing.md - words-per-second tables, the per-window pacing band, formats, estimation loop, trim points, re-sync procedure. Read before budgeting.
  • references/human-voice.md - the audible AI tells, what does not transfer from prose advice, the carve-outs this skill needs protected, and the tells that only exist in speech. Read before the timing check.
