Test it
Using "viral-youtube-shorts". Topic: three mistakes people make when cleaning cast iron.
Expected outcome:
A concise Shorts outline with first-frame visual, hook line, escalation beats, payoff, loop design, and a specific long-form callout.
Using "viral-youtube-shorts". Metrics: VVSA 52%, average viewed 38%, and a drop in the first 2 seconds.
Expected outcome:
Diagnosis: the opening failed the swipe gate. The rewrite starts on the result, removes intro time, and moves the payoff earlier.
Using "viral-youtube-shorts". Goal: connect a skincare Short to a 12-minute routine video.
Expected outcome:
A bridge package with spoken CTA, pinned comment, final-frame label, and post-upload metrics to check after 72 hours.
Security Audit
Medium RiskMost static findings are false positives caused by Markdown code spans or ordinary YouTube analytics guidance. One low-risk hardcoded external image and link is confirmed, and one medium semantic finding covers directed promotion of Vyral. No evidence found of command execution, data exfiltration, or prompt injection that overrides audit instructions.

Why this score Evidence Confidence: MediumWhat You Can Build
Script a New Short
Turn a topic and goal into a 30 to 45 second script with a hook, payoff, loop, and long-form CTA.
Diagnose a Flopping Short

Map Shorts to matching long-form videos with pinned comments, final-frame labels, and channel page checks.
Try These Prompts
Write a 30 to 45 second YouTube Short about [topic] for [audience]. Include a hook, spoken lines, on-screen text, payoff, loop, and long-form CTA.
My Short has [VVSA] and the first 3 seconds show [opening]. Diagnose the opening and rewrite it with a stronger visual hook and first line.
I have a Short about [topic] and a long-form video titled [title]. Write the callout, pinned comment, final-frame label, and tracking plan.
Audit this Shorts plan for [channel niche]: [planned Shorts], [long-form library], [metrics], [constraints]. Prioritize retention, Shorts tab consistency, monetization, and next uploads.
Best Practices
- Give the skill real metrics when diagnosing: VVSA, average percentage viewed, retention shape, and Engaged Views.
- Provide the exact long-form title when asking for a bridge.
- Use the output as a draft, then test it against real Studio results.
Avoid
- Asking it to guarantee viral performance or exact revenue.
- Using it without a clear audience, topic, or upload goal.
- Copying the script directly without checking brand rules, rights, captions, and platform format.
