Today's Agent Skill: Short-Form Video Script Generator
What It Does
Short-form video on TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts is now the highest-reach content format for local businesses — but most small business owners never start because staring at a camera without a script feels awkward. This skill produces a ready-to-record 30-60 second video script you can read from your phone.
How It Works
The agent takes your topic, the platform you're posting to, and your goal (educate, entertain, promote, or build trust) and generates a structured script with a punchy hook in the first three seconds, a tight narrative arc, and a clear call to action at the end. It also produces a list of B-roll visuals and on-screen text captions matched to the script.
How to Deploy It
Run this skill in Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Cursor, or Windsurf by describing the video topic and your business in a few sentences. Record the resulting script using your phone's camera in a single take. For editing, tools like CapCut (free) or Descript (paid) can add captions and trim automatically. Post the same video to TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts to maximize reach from one recording.
