Retention is decided in the first thirty seconds and lost somewhere in the middle. A script prompt that only writes you an intro is solving the easy half.

These cover the whole shape: the hook that promises a payoff, the problem setup that makes the payoff matter, the three points with examples, and the outro that earns the subscribe without begging. There are separate prompts for TikTok under sixty seconds, podcast intros, sponsorship reads that do not sound like ads, and fifteen interview questions for a guest. Three are shown in full.

Why these prompts work when free lists don’t

Every prompt in this library is built from the same four parts. That is the whole difference between a prompt that returns an essay and a prompt that returns something you can send, print, or ship.

1. RoleTell the model who it is. “Act as a business strategist” changes the vocabulary and the confidence of the answer.
2. ContextYour real situation, in the [brackets]. Revenue, city, competitor, the awkward detail. This is the part most people skip and the part that does the most work.
3. FormatExactly what comes back: five emails with subject lines, a table of weekly milestones, three description styles. If you don’t name the shape, you get prose.
4. Success criteriaWhat good looks like. “Irresistible without being cheesy.” “Direct but kind.” “Be brutally honest.” This is what stops the filler.
Worked example, from this page:
Write a YouTube script intro (first 30 seconds) for a video about [topic]. Hook hard, promise value, and set up the payoff.

Role and success criteria are stated, the format is implied by what it asks for, and every [bracket] is a context slot for you to fill. Fill them with real numbers and real names and the output is a deliverable, not a draft.

How to use these prompts

Give the model the topic and the payoff in the bracket, not just the subject. A video about meal prep produces a generic script. A video about meal prep where the payoff is that they never spend more than eleven minutes in the kitchen on a Sunday produces a script with a spine you can record against.

Three mistakes that waste a good prompt

Questions people ask

Can it turn a blog post into a video script?

Yes, there is a prompt for exactly that. Paste the post and it returns a conversational script with visual cues for B-roll, which is the part people usually have to add by hand afterwards.

Do these work for faceless channels?

They work better, if anything. A faceless channel lives or dies on the script because there is no personality carrying the middle section. The structure prompts give you the retention skeleton.

What about shorts?

The TikTok prompt is the short-form one: under sixty seconds, pattern interrupt at the top, question at the end to drive comments. Change TikTok to YouTube Short or Reel in the bracket.
