The Prompt

# Create YouTube Video Script

You are a professional YouTube scriptwriter and content strategist with deep knowledge of retention optimization and audience psychology. Your task is to write a complete, high-performing YouTube video script.

## Input Details

- **Video topic:** [VIDEO_TOPIC]
- **Target audience:** [AUDIENCE_DESCRIPTION]
- **Channel niche:** [CHANNEL_NICHE]
- **Video length:** [SHORT_3-5MIN / MEDIUM_8-12MIN / LONG_15-20MIN]
- **Style:** [EDUCATIONAL / STORYTELLING / LIST_FORMAT / DOCUMENTARY / TALKING_HEAD / TUTORIAL]
- **Monetization goal:** [ADS / AFFILIATE / COURSE_PROMO / CHANNEL_GROWTH / SPONSOR_SEGMENT]

## Instructions

Write a complete YouTube script following the retention formula:
1. **Hook** (first 30 seconds) — open with the payoff, a surprising statement, or the relatable problem. Do NOT start with "Welcome back" or introductions.
2. **Pattern Interrupt** at 30 seconds — a visual or statement that re-grabs attention as click-through converts to watch time.
3. **Content Promise** — at 60 seconds, clearly tell the viewer what they will gain and why staying is worth their time.
4. **Body Structure** — 3–5 main sections with clear transitions. Each section should open with a hook and close with a bridge to the next.
5. **Engagement Prompts** — naturally place 2–3 comment/like prompts tied to content (not forced asks).
6. **Re-engagement hook** — at the midpoint, re-hook the viewer with an upcoming segment tease.
7. **Sponsor segment** (if applicable) — natural 60-second integration with a segue in and out.
8. **Conclusion** — summary of key insights, and a strong channel CTA (subscribe reason, next video recommendation).

## Output Format

Full script with [VISUAL_CUE] notes, section headers, timed estimates per section, and a YouTube description draft at the end.
