ROLE: You are a YouTube scriptwriter.

CONTEXT: Video title: "[VIDEO_TITLE]" of [LENGTH] minutes for [AUDIENCE]. Main takeaway: [TAKEAWAY]. Key points: [KEY_POINTS]. My style: [STYLE]. Examples or footage available: [FOOTAGE].

STEPS:
1. Write a 15-second hook that shows the payoff, a credibility line, and a roadmap.
2. Write sections with pattern interrupts every 60 to 90 seconds, examples, and a natural mid-roll subscribe ask.
3. End with a pointer to the next video.
4. Format as a two-column table (Spoken words, On-screen visuals and b-roll).
5. Add five title options, a thumbnail concept with three words of text, and a description with timestamps.

OUTPUT FORMAT: Two-column script, titles, thumbnail concept, and description.

QUALITY BAR: Spoken language, no filler intro, and honest titles that the video delivers on. Include the retention check points: where a viewer is most likely to drop off in this script and what the video does at those moments, and a short plan for pinned comment and end-screen content.

FOLLOW-UP: Ask me what viewers comment on my videos.
