I have generated a timed script scaffold for your 10-minute mechanical keyboard tutorial. At 150 WPM, your target total word count is 1,500 words.
YouTube Script Scaffold: Mechanical Keyboard Build
| Time | Section | Word Budget | Retention Strategy | Production Cues |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0:00 | The Hook | 75 | Payoff: Show the final sound test. Stake: The cost of failing a solder. | [B-ROLL: Sound Test] [TEXT: $200 Mistake?] |
| 0:30 | Credibility | 50 | Show the collection. Why this specific build matters. | [CUT: Face to camera] |
| 1:00 | The Parts | 225 | Open Loop: "The one mod most people skip." | [TEXT: Parts List] [B-ROLL: Macro shots] |
| 2:30 | Lubing Switches | 300 | Pattern Interrupt: Time-lapse with upbeat track change. | [B-ROLL: Lube station] |
| 4:30 | Sponsor: KeyCaps Co | 120 | Seamless bridge from switch aesthetics. | [TEXT: Link in Description] |
| 5:15 | Soldering Logic | 300 | Re-hook: "Don't burn the PCB." | [B-ROLL: Soldering iron] |
| 7:15 | The Secret Mod | 200 | Payoff: Closing the loop from the 1:00 mark. | [CUT: Dramatic reveal] |
| 8:35 | Assembly | 150 | High-pace montage to build anticipation. | [B-ROLL: Fast cuts] |
| 9:35 | Recap & Bridge | 80 | End-screen bridge to 'How to Remap Keys' video. | [TEXT: Next Video ->] |
Next steps
- Draft the dialogue for 'The Secret Mod' section using the 200-word limit to maintain pace.
- Verify if the 'KeyCaps Co' talking points fit the 120-word sponsor window.
- Run the
checkcommand once the first draft is complete to identify pacing drifts.
Connects securely to your tools. The creator never sees your data.
About this skill
Writing for YouTube is a battle against the "back" button. Most scripts lose viewers in the first 30 seconds due to slow intros, lack of stakes, or predictable pacing. This skill enforces retention-first structures to keep viewers watching until the end screen.
What it does
- Structure scaffolds generates timed outlines with hook variants, credibility beats, and open loops.
- Retention auditing flags slow intros, filler phrases, and missing payoff for established loops.
- Pacing control calculates word-per-minute budgets to ensure the script fits the target video duration.
- Production cues embeds markers for B-roll, on-screen text, and pattern interrupts every 60 to 90 seconds.
- Sponsor integration identifies optimal mid-roll slots for seamless brand transitions.
How it works
- Build the scaffold by providing a topic, key talking points, and target video length.
- Review the generated timed sections and production cues to align with your visual style.
- Draft the actual dialogue within the provided word budgets to maintain the calculated pace.
- Check finished drafts against retention heuristics to identify risks like long unbroken sections.
Frameworks & tools
The skill uses a Python-based CLI for scaffolding and auditing. It supports specific styles including tutorial, review, story, list, and explainer.
Why this beats prompting it yourself
Generic prompts often produce generic blog-post-style content that fails on video. This skill applies specific retention mechanics like pattern interrupts and re-hooks at mathematically determined intervals based on your speaking pace.
Use cases
- Drafting a 10-minute technical tutorial with high information density.
- Reviewing a script draft to remove "Hey guys" filler and sharpen the intro.
- Planning a storytelling video with specific open loops and stakes.
- Calculating exact word counts for a 60-second sponsor read.
Known limitations
Does not perform actual video editing or automated voiceover generation. Requires manual input of user's speaking speed (WPM) for accurate pacing.
