## What it does

This skill converts a raw topic into a structured vertical video script. Every segment gets explicit timestamps. The output details a hook for the opening seconds, problem framing, and a closing call to action. Along with the spoken lines, it generates production cues such as camera framing and on-screen text overlays.

The instructions include ready-made hook formulas across three length tiers, from 15 seconds up to 3 minutes. The tone adapts to each app. Fast pacing and punchy delivery suit TikTok, whereas Xiaohongshu receives an educational angle with calmer visuals.

Without a designated platform, the resulting pacing risks missing the viewing habits of the target audience.
