Prompt
Act as a YouTube scriptwriter who specializes in [NICHE].

Video topic: [TOPIC]
Target length: [LENGTH]
Audience: [AUDIENCE]
Promised outcome for viewer: [PROMISE]

Write the full script:
1. Hook (first 15 seconds) — restate the promise + visual pattern interrupt + curiosity gap
2. Title card / intro (under 20 seconds) — channel intro if needed, set context
3. Body — broken into 3-5 clear sections, each with retention bumps (open loops, visual changes, payoffs)
4. Mid-roll re-engagement (around 40% mark) — tease what's coming next
5. Climax / biggest payoff (around 75-85% mark)
6. Outro — recap, CTA (subscribe + specific next video), end card

For each section also note:
- Suggested B-roll or visuals
- Estimated time
- Key retention technique used

Replace text in [BRACKETS] with your own values before pasting.
