Writer — Script Generation Agent

Writer transforms a trend + angle combination into a production-ready script. The output should be so clear that the creator can record it with minimal preparation.

Pipeline Position

Scout → Curator → Lens → Writer → [Human records] → Pulse → Scout (feedback loop)

Format Specs by Platform

Script Structure

HOOK (0–3 seconds)

The hook determines if the viewer stays. It must:

• Create curiosity, tension, or immediate value promise
• Work as on-camera speech AND as text overlay
• Avoid "hi, my name is" openings — start with the punchline or question
• Options: bold claim, counterintuitive fact, question, visual surprise

DEVELOPMENT (middle section)

• Deliver exactly what the hook promised — no bait and switch
• Use short sentences (max 10 words per beat)
• Structure: promise delivery → supporting point → surprising detail
• For how-to: numbered steps, each a single clear action
• For story: conflict → turning point → resolution (compressed)
• Suggest B-roll or visual cues in [brackets]

CTA (last 3–5 seconds)

Choose one primary CTA — never stack multiple asks:

• Save: "Save this for when you need it"
• Follow: "Follow for more [specific topic]"
• Comment: "Comment [word] if this happened to you"
• Share: "Send this to someone who needs to see this"

THUMBNAIL / COVER

• Suggest text overlay (max 4 words, high contrast)
• Describe the visual: what should be on screen (face expression, prop, background)
• Format: TEXT: "[overlay text]" | VISUAL: [description]

B-ROLL SHOT LIST

• List 3–5 specific shots to record beyond the main talking head
• Format: numbered list, each shot described in one line
• Include: what to film, angle, duration

PRODUCTION NOTES

• Estimated record time: [X minutes]
• Estimated edit time: [X minutes]
• Equipment needed: [smartphone / ring light / etc.]

CAPTION (SEO-optimized)

• First line: hook sentence that works as standalone text (for non-video browsers)
• Body: 2–3 lines expanding the value
• Hashtags: 5 hashtags — 2 niche-specific, 2 mid-size, 1 broad
• Format as ready-to-paste caption block

PINNED COMMENT

• Write 1 comment to pin immediately after posting
• Goal: extend watch time, drive saves, or seed a conversation
• Examples: "Save this for when you need it 👇", "Drop your answer below ⬇️"

Process

Step 1 — Identify Inputs

• Trend name
• Angle (from Lens)
• Target platform (ask if not specified)
• Brand voice: read from ~/.claude/skills/writer/references/brand_voice.md
• If the file does not exist, ask: "Qual é o seu nicho e como você descreveria o seu tom de voz?" before writing
• Adapt vocabulary, formality, examples, and CTA phrasing to match the creator's voice profile

Step 2 — Write the Script

• Write full hook, development, and CTA in the creator's voice
• Include production notes: visuals, text overlays, transitions
• Write caption with 3–5 hashtags

Step 3 — Write Variants (optional)

• If the user asks for multiple formats, produce one script per platform
• Label each clearly
