It creates a 0–2 second hook to catch attention, a 2–5 second confirmation beat, a 5–15 second core payoff, and a loop or call to action. Each scene includes spoken voiceover lines, on-screen text for muted playback, and visual asset keywords. The generator outputs 2–3 hook variations from distinct hook styles. It also appends synthetic media disclosures for realistic AI footage. Scripts adhere to 9:16 vertical parameters documented for TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, 抖音, and 微信视频号. Deliverables are strictly script specifications. The tool deliberately avoids rendering pipelines, speech synthesis, and upload automation, because automated posting triggers account bans on networks like 抖音. ## Install ### Claude Code (native platform) 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add aaron-he-zhu/aaron-marketing-skills --skill short-video-scripter -a claude-code ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `~/.claude/skills/short-video-scripter/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/short-video-scripter/ ### Codex 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add aaron-he-zhu/aaron-marketing-skills --skill short-video-scripter -a codex ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.agents/skills/short-video-scripter/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/ ### Cursor 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add aaron-he-zhu/aaron-marketing-skills --skill short-video-scripter -a cursor ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.cursor/skills/short-video-scripter/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/ ### GitHub Copilot 1. **GitHub CLI** ```bash gh skill install aaron-he-zhu/aaron-marketing-skills short-video-scripter ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.github/skills/short-video-scripter/SKILL.md` ### Gemini CLI 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add aaron-he-zhu/aaron-marketing-skills --skill short-video-scripter -a gemini-cli ``` 2. **Platform CLI** ```bash gemini skills install https://github.com/aaron-he-zhu/aaron-marketing-skills --path social/craft/short-video-scripter ``` ### Windsurf (Devin Desktop) **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.devin/skills/short-video-scripter/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works ### OpenCode **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add aaron-he-zhu/aaron-marketing-skills --skill short-video-scripter -a opencode ``` ### Claude.ai **Claude.ai** - Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/aaron-he-zhu/aaron-marketing-skills/tree/HEAD/social/craft/short-video-scripter/SKILL.md ## When to use it - rewrite opening hooks to fix early viewer drop-off - generate timed beat-sheets with voiceover and on-screen text - format video ideas for TikTok, Reels, and YouTube Shorts - attach required AI content disclosures to synthetic clips ## Example prompts - Script a 30s version of this idea for TikTok and Reels: new code editor launch.
