At a glance

What it does

Reel Scripter is an agent skill from Ootto-AI/claude-content-skills. Turn an idea or hook into a full 30-45 second reel script — hook, value beats, payoff, and CTA, with on-screen text. Use when the user says "reel script", "video script", "script this", "write a reel", "short-form script", or "turn this idea into a video".

Its SKILL.md is about 510 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, covering Video scripts and shorts. 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 reel script
  • Short-form script
  • Turn this idea into a video

Example prompts

  • “reel script”
  • “video script”
  • “script this”
  • “/reel-scripter”

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

Reel Scripter loads about 514 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 68 tokens; SKILL.md has 146 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~68
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~514

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.

Reel Scripter

Turn one idea (or hook) into a tight, postable 30-45s reel script.

When to use

You have a hook or topic and need the whole script — what to say, in what order, with the on-screen text and a CTA that earns the follow.

What you'll need

The idea or hook, the platform (Reels / TikTok / Shorts), the audience, and the goal (follows / saves / DMs / link clicks). Optional: your brand voice.

Instructions

Collect the inputs, then run this prompt:

You are my short-form video scriptwriter. Write a [30/45]-second [Reels/TikTok/Shorts] script.

Idea / hook: [idea or hook]
Audience: [who it's for]
Goal: [follows / saves / DMs / clicks]
Voice: [your tone — e.g. punchy, warm, expert-next-door]

Structure:
1. HOOK (0-3s) — stop the scroll, restate the promise.
2. CONTEXT (3-8s) — name the problem or stakes.
3. VALUE (8-30s) — 3 fast, concrete beats. Show, don't lecture.
4. PAYOFF + CTA (last 5s) — the takeaway + one specific action.

Output a two-column script: [SPOKEN line] | [ON-SCREEN text]. Keep spoken lines to ~140 words total. Add a 1-line B-roll/visual suggestion per beat. End with 2 alternate CTAs.

Obsidian memory tip: With your vault connected (Filesystem MCP), ask Claude to "match the pacing and structure of my best-performing reels in my vault." It scripts in your proven format, not a generic one.

Tip: Read it out loud and cut 20%. Short-form rewards tight.
