Script Writer — Claude Code skill

Turn any rough video idea into a full retention-optimized short-form script (Reel / TikTok / Short) using a proven viral structure: **Hook → Build-Up → Value → Payoff → CTA**.

Comes with a library of 100+ real viral hooks (with view counts) and a psychology tricks toolkit so every line in your script earns its place.

What it does

You hand Claude a rambled idea, a topic, or even just a vibe. It:

Distills the concept into a clear core message.
Picks a hook format from the library (or proposes 2-3 options).
Drafts the full script in a clean annotated template — every line tagged with the psychology trick it's pulling.
Writes a ready-to-paste caption with hashtags.

You iterate from there: swap the hook, change the duration, adjust the tone, rework the CTA.

Install (1 minute)

mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
git clone https://github.com/criscatalyst/script-writer-skill.git ~/.claude/skills/script-writer

That's it. No dependencies, no API key.

Try it

Open a new Claude Code session and paste something like:

write me a reel script about why most beginner creators stall at 1k followers

turn this idea into a 60s reel: I want to show how I edit my videos in CapCut in under 5 minutes

Claude will pick up the `script-writer` skill, ask one or two quick questions if needed (audience, goal), and deliver the full script.
