What it does
Youtube Script Writer is an agent skill from raroque/boop-agent. Write a tight, retention-focused YouTube script from a topic, outline, or research brief. Use when the user asks for a video script, wants to turn notes or research into a YouTube video, needs a hook/intro rewritten, or wants to plan a video end-to-end with pacing, visual beats, and CTAs.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k 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. It works with YouTube. The repository describes itself as: iMessage personal agent: choose Claude Agent SDK (Claude Code) or Codex app-server runtime (Codex/ChatGPT), with memory, sub-agents, automations, integrations. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- The user asks for a video script
- Wants to turn notes
- Research into a YouTube video
- Needs a hook/intro rewritten
Example prompts
- “/youtube-script-writer”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3197913. 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
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
Youtube Script Writer loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 78 tokens; SKILL.md has 594 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

- youtube-script-writer
- description
- Write a tight, retention-focused YouTube script from a topic, outline, or research brief. Use when the user asks for a video script, wants to turn notes or research into a YouTube video, needs a hook/intro rewritten, or wants to plan a video end-to-end with pacing, visual beats, and CTAs.
YouTube Script Writer
Turn a topic, outline, or research dump into a YouTube script that holds attention from second 0 through the CTA.
When to use
- "Write a YouTube script about X"
- "Turn this research into a video"
- "Draft an intro / hook for a video on Y"
- "Plan out a 5-minute video about Z"
When NOT to use
- Long-form blog posts or articles (different pacing rules — don't force them into this template)
- Podcast outlines (conversational, not scripted)
- Shorts under 60s (different structure — lead with the payoff, no setup)
Inputs to gather first
Before writing, confirm (ask if missing):
- Topic / angle — what is the one idea the viewer walks away with?
- Target length — under 3 min, 3–8 min, or 10+ min? Pacing changes.
- Audience — beginners, experts, or mixed? Sets vocabulary floor.
- Research or source material — any facts, stats, quotes, URLs to include?
- Tone — casual/educational, docu-style, chaotic/entertainment?
If the user didn't supply research and the topic needs facts, use WebSearch / WebFetch BEFORE writing. Never invent stats or quotes.
Script structure (standard 5–8 min video)
Write the script in these labeled sections. Don't skip any.
1. Hook — first 5 seconds
- One sentence that promises a payoff or opens a loop.
- No "hey guys welcome back." No throat-clearing.
- Patterns that work:
- Curiosity gap — "Everyone gets X wrong. Here's what actually works."
- Bold claim — "You can do X in 10 minutes. I'll prove it."
- Pattern interrupt — visual or verbal surprise.
- End with an implicit "keep watching to find out."
2. Setup — seconds 5–20
- Context: why does this matter NOW, for THIS viewer?
- Credibility beat (one sentence max): who you are / why listen.
- Restate the promise in sharper form. No long preamble.
3. Body — main content
- Break into 2–4 clearly-labeled sections/chapters.
- Retention rule: every 30–45 seconds, re-hook. Tease what's coming ("but here's the twist…"), change visual pattern, or drop a memorable line.
- One idea per section. Don't stack.
- Concrete > abstract. Examples, numbers, screenshots, demos.
- If you have research: cite specifically (brand, study, date). No vague "studies show."
4. Payoff — deliver on the hook
- Close the loop opened in the hook.
- Summarize the one takeaway in one sentence. Viewer should be able to repeat it.
Show full SKILL.md (231 more words)Show less
5. CTA — final 15 seconds
- ONE ask. Not three. Pick: subscribe, comment prompt, link in description, or watch-next video.
- Make it natural, tied to the content. "If this saved you X, subscribe" beats "smash that like button."
- End on a strong visual beat, not a fade.
Format the output
Deliver the script as:
TITLE: <working title, clickable but honest>
THUMBNAIL IDEA: <1 sentence, what's on screen>
---
[0:00] HOOK
<exact words to say>
[0:05] SETUP
<exact words>
[0:20] SECTION 1 — <name>
<exact words>
[VISUAL: brief note on B-roll / cut / graphic]
[...continue...]
[X:XX] CTA
<exact words>Rules for the script body:
- Write the spoken words, not stage directions, as the main text.
- Put visual/cut notes in
[VISUAL: …]tags inline, indented under the spoken line they belong to. - Use short sentences. Read it aloud in your head — if a sentence is hard to say, rewrite it.
- Contractions always (don't → that's how people talk).
- No jargon without a one-line definition.
After the script
Close with:
- Estimated runtime — rough estimate based on ~150 wpm spoken pace.
- Open questions — anything you had to guess at (e.g. target audience assumed to be X; pick a different tone if wrong).
- Variants to consider — one alt hook and one alt CTA, one line each. Gives the user pivot options.
Retention checklist (self-review before delivering)
- Hook is under 10 seconds and makes a clear promise
- Setup ends in under 30 seconds total
- A re-hook or pattern break every 30–45 seconds of body
- Every claim has a source or is clearly framed as opinion
- Exactly one CTA
- Body reads aloud cleanly — no tongue-twisters, no buried verbs
- Sources section follows (if WebSearch/WebFetch was used)
