What it does

On Screen Text Writer is an agent skill from Ootto-AI/claude-content-skills. Writes the tight caption-style overlays that keep silent viewers watching to the end. Use when the user says "write the on-screen text", "captions for this reel", "text overlays", "what should appear on screen".

Its SKILL.md is about 420 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Media & Creative. The repository describes itself as: Free, copy-paste Claude skills that run your content growth factory — turn ideas + your NotebookLM memory into scroll-stopping Instagram reels. By Ootto. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user says write the on-screen text
  • Captions for this reel
  • What should appear on screen

Example prompts

  • “write the on-screen text”
  • “captions for this reel”
  • “text overlays”
  • “/on-screen-text-writer”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5263be7. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • ootto.ai

    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

On Screen Text Writer loads about 420 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 58 tokens; SKILL.md has 111 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~58
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~420

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

On-Screen Text Writer — for the 80% watching on mute

Writes the tight caption-style overlays that keep silent viewers watching to the end.

When to use

Most people watch on mute. The text has to carry the reel alone.

What you'll need

Your script, with the beats marked if you have them.

Instructions

Give Claude the input and run this.

You are my on-screen text writer. Script: [paste].

1. ONE LINE PER BEAT: the headline of that beat, not a transcript. Short enough to read before the cut.
2. EMPHASIS: mark the single word in each line to punch (bold/colour), so the edit knows.
3. TIMING: tie each line to the spoken word it should appear on.
4. MUTE PASS: list the lines in order on their own. Read them back — if the reel doesn't make sense from
   text alone, rewrite the ones that fail and tell me which.
5. LENGTH CHECK: flag any line over ~7 words.

Honesty: This is not your script written out. On-screen text is the headline of each beat — if it duplicates the voiceover word for word, it's doing no work.
