How to write a video script and score its hook before filming with ChatGPT YouTube Agent Skill

Draft a script from 21 hook formulas and score the opening before you record.

  • Top pick
  • Content
  • Intermediate
  • 15 minutes
  • From the README
  • Codex

Who it is forA solo YouTube creator who wastes takes on intros that do not hold attention.

The problemA weak opening loses viewers in the first seconds, and a bad hook is often only noticed after the video is filmed.

The outcomeA script built from a chosen hook formula, with a hook score to check before you record.

What you need first

  • ChatGPT or the Codex app that loads skills from ~/.codex/skills/
  • git installed, if you use the clone option
  • Python 3 to run the bundled scripts (the README says they need no packages)
  • Your own channel data, such as an audience-retention export, for the analysis skills

Steps

  1. Install the skills by pasting https://github.com/Jakeschincariol/chatgpt-youtube-agent-skill into ChatGPT and saying install skill, or run git clone https://github.com/Jakeschincariol/chatgpt-youtube-agent-skill then cp -r chatgpt-youtube-agent-skill/skills/yt-* ~/.codex/skills/.
  2. Restart the app so the skills load.
  3. Copy templates/voice.md to ~/.codex/youtube/voice.md and fill it in, or send ChatGPT three of your own videos and say write my voice profile from these.
  4. Ask the yt-script skill for a script on your topic using the hook formulas.
  5. Run python hookscore.py on the opening lines to get a hook score before you film. (inferred, check the README)

Prompt for your agent

Using the chatgpt-youtube-agent-skill repo, run the yt-script skill on the topic <topic> and use the voice file at ~/.codex/youtube/voice.md. Return a script with an opening written from one of the 21 hook formulas and a hook score for that opening. Verify that the output includes both the script and the score before recording.

Caveat. The README says nothing gets published until you upload it yourself, so the script and hook score are drafts you still need to review and film.
