The workflow yields a retention‑focused script with clear hooks, promises, loops, pattern breaks, and visual cues, ready for recording and editing.

• Write angle and promise before the hook
• Create hook options and choose one
• Insert promise within first 15 seconds
• Structure sections with open loops and payoffs
• Add pattern breaks (B‑roll, on‑screen lists, questions)
• Embed visual cues as [B‑ROLL] and [ON‑SCREEN] lines
• Use [ADD:] placeholders for missing facts
• Automate first draft with YouTube Script Writer AI agent
• Review and fill placeholders before recording
