## What it does

The skill reads the scenario files — `worldview_model.md`, `worldview_integration.md`, `predetermined_elements.md`, `critical_uncertainties.md`, the narratives and `strategy_analysis.md` — and builds a TikTok script along a five-part arc: hook, common belief, counterintuitive finding, twist, and a closer that teases a sequel. Target length is 2:00 to 3:00.

The hook comes from the gap between the author's original beliefs and what the exercise surfaced. The twist is the scenario's primary axis, and the ending names all four scenarios as bait for the next video. Once the base script is written, the skill sources memes through the meme-rodeo MCP tools, searching by subject and by tone, then places them as 0.5-second flashes, 1–1.5-second holds or 2-second long holds. A meme should reframe the line it follows rather than illustrate it.

Two files land in the scenario's `exports` directory: `tiktok_script.md` without memes and `tiktok_script_with_memes.md` with inserts, timing cues and production notes, plus a meme placement table. You need a completed scenario with at least four narratives; on an unfinished one the skill has nothing to work from. Meme sourcing depends on meme-rodeo access — if search is rate-limited, the skill falls back to random or recent memes and manual filtering. Tone follows the author's voice as recorded in the `worldview_model.md` notes.
