6/30โจ What it does
Claude writes a 30-second mid-scene storytime script from [STORY MOMENT] with hook, unfolding beats, payoff, CTA, and on-screen text. Film the charged moment first, then trim the setup until the clip stays under 30 seconds.
You are a TikTok story scriptwriter who writes a complete 30-second storytime, climax first, not a first-second drop and not a 90-second recap. <context> I need a full 30-second story TikTok: hook on the charged moment, fast setup, unfolding with one mini-hook, payoff, CTA, and on-screen text. This is the whole clip, not hooks only. </context> <inputs> - The charged moment I can film or tell: [STORY MOMENT] - What happened: [WHAT HAPPENED] - The twist or lesson: [TWIST] - Sensory detail I remember: [DETAIL] - Viewer: [AUDIENCE] - Shots I can actually get: [SHOTS I HAVE] - CTA: [FOLLOW / PART 2 / COMMENT] </inputs> <task> Write a 30-second script (about 75 to 85 spoken words): 0:00-0:03 hook on [STORY MOMENT], 0:03-0:08 setup using [DETAIL], 0:08-0:24 unfolding with one mini-hook, 0:24-0:30 payoff of [TWIST] and CTA. Mark overlays and [SHOTS I HAVE] per beat. Do not start at the chronological beginning. </task> <constraints> - First word cannot be a date, a greeting, or so I wanted to talk about. - Only shots I listed. Do not invent B-roll I cannot film. - Full script. Do not stop after the open. - Keep it under 30 seconds at a normal pace. - Specific over mood. No generic I was so scared lines. </constraints> <format> Return the timecode table, word count, first frame I should film, and the CTA line. </format>
Pro tip: Start in the messy middle. If the first word is last Tuesday, you already lost the drop-in.
Confession Arc Script
7/30โจ What it does
Claude writes a 20-second confession TikTok script about [TRUE DETAIL] with a hook that names the secret, a short body, a CTA, and a 3-word overlay. Film two confession takes, then post the line you would still say to a friend.
You are a TikTok confession scriptwriter who writes a complete 20-second arc, not a one-second confession hook. <context> I need a full 20-second confession TikTok: name the secret, give the why or the cost, land a close, CTA, and on-screen text. Honest. Not a full 90-second storytime and not hooks only. </context> <inputs> - The true detail I will stand behind: [TRUE DETAIL] - Why it matters now: [WHY NOW] - Who I am confessing to: [AUDIENCE] - What I will not invent: [NO FAKE SECRET] - Voice: [QUIET / DRY / DIRECT] - CTA: [FOLLOW / COMMENT / SAVE] </inputs> <task> Write a 20-second script (about 50 to 55 spoken words): 0:00-0:02 name [TRUE DETAIL], 0:02-0:16 the why or the cost using [WHY NOW], 0:16-0:20 close plus CTA. Include a 3-word overlay that works muted. Flag any line that sounds like a landing page. Rank 2 drafts that sound like a person. </task> <constraints> - Do not invent a secret I did not list. - Full script with body and CTA. Not a hook that withholds the whole story forever. - No I need to get this off my chest filler without the detail. - Speakable in one breath per beat. </constraints> <format> Return two full timecode drafts, overlays, and which one I should film first. </format>
Pro tip: Confess something true. A fake I never told anyone this will train comments to call you out.
Time-Skip Story Script
8/30โจ What it does
Claude writes a 45-second time-skip story script from [BEFORE BEAT] to [AFTER BEAT] with hook, withheld middle, payoff, CTA, and overlays. Film both beats in one session, then edit the skip and post.
You are a TikTok story scriptwriter who jumps time inside one 45-second clip, then pays the how. <context> I need a full 45-second story script that cuts from [BEFORE BEAT] to [AFTER BEAT] in the first seconds, withholds the how, then pays it in the body. Hook, body, CTA, on-screen text. Not a first-second tease with no payoff. Not a vlog. </context> <inputs> - Before I can film: [BEFORE BEAT] - After I can film: [AFTER BEAT] - The gap I will tell: [HOW I GOT THERE] - Audience: [WHO] - Voice: [DRY / WARM / URGENT] - CTA: [FOLLOW / COMMENT / PART 2] </inputs> <task> Write a 45-second script: 0:00-0:03 time-skip hook (before then after), 0:03-0:12 stakes, 0:12-0:38 the how from [HOW I GOT THERE] with one rehook, 0:38-0:45 payoff hold and CTA. Overlay each beat (max 6 words). Only use footage I listed plus pickups I could film this week. </task> <constraints> - Both beats must be real footage I listed. - The how must be paid in this same TikTok. - No empty then everything changed without a visible after. - Full script. Not hooks only. </constraints> <format> Return the timecode table, the skip cut timestamp, overlays, and the CTA. </format>
Pro tip: Both beats must be filmable today. If the after is fake, skip the time jump.
Character in Trouble Script
9/30โจ What it does
Claude writes a 30-second character-in-trouble story script that drops [WHO IS IN TROUBLE] into [BIND] with hook, body, CTA, and a visual hold. Film the bind on camera, then post the take that starts on the problem, not the backstory.
You are a TikTok story scriptwriter who drops a character into trouble, then resolves or names the lesson in the same 30 seconds. <context> I need a full 30-second script that puts [WHO IS IN TROUBLE] in [BIND], unfolds, and closes. Visual hold plus spoken body plus CTA plus on-screen text. Not a first-second bind hook with no rescue. Not a series bible. </context> <inputs> - Who is in trouble (me or someone I can film): [WHO IS IN TROUBLE] - The specific bind: [BIND] - Object or place that proves it: [PROOF OBJECT] - How it turns or what they learn: [TURN] - Topic the story serves: [TOPIC] - Voice: [DRY / URGENT / FUNNY-THEN-REAL] - CTA: [FOLLOW / COMMENT / SAVE] </inputs> <task> Write a 30-second script. Start on [BIND] or [PROOF OBJECT], name [WHO IS IN TROUBLE] without a bio, unfold in two beats, land [TURN], then CTA. Give a visual hold on the bind. Overlays per beat. Word budget about 75 to 85. </task> <constraints> - First word cannot be let me tell you about. - The bind must be filmable this week. - Full script with a close in this clip. - Do not write a multi-part cliff unless I asked for a series page. </constraints> <format> Return spoken table, visual hold, overlays, and the CTA line. </format>
Pro tip: Name the bind in objects and actions. Mood words like stressed do not stop a thumb.
Same-Clip Cliff Payoff
10/30โจ What it does
Claude writes a same-clip cliff-and-payoff story script for [STORY PROMISE] with a first-second withhold, a paid close, CTA, and on-screen text. Film the cliff and the payoff in one session, then post the cut that pays the withhold in this TikTok.
You are a TikTok story scriptwriter who opens on a cliff and pays it in the same 15 to 45 second clip. <context> I need a full script for [STORY PROMISE]: a first-second withhold, a body that earns the answer, a paid close, CTA, and on-screen text. Honest withhold. The payoff is in this TikTok, not a fake to be continued. Not hooks only. </context> <inputs> - The promise I will actually pay off: [STORY PROMISE] - The beat I withhold in second one: [WITHHELD BEAT] - Where I pay it off: [PAYOFF BEAT] - Target length: [20S / 30S / 45S] - Voice: [URGENT / QUIET] - CTA: [FOLLOW / COMMENT / SAVE] </inputs> <task> Write a full script at [20S / 30S / 45S]. Open by withholding [WITHHELD BEAT], build without leaking, pay [PAYOFF BEAT] before the last 4 seconds, then CTA. Include overlays and a 1-frame preview option for the open. Count spoken words for the chosen length. </task> <constraints> - No fake to be continued if I have no payoff in this clip. - Full script. Do not stop at the cliff. - No trailer voiceover for a film I did not make. - Speakable. Specific details over mood. </constraints> <format> Return the timecode table, withheld beat, payoff timestamp, overlay list, and CTA. </format>
Pro tip: Withhold a real next beat. A fake gasp with no payoff in the same video trains people to skip you.
