# Video script procedure
1. Read `CLAUDE.md` (brand voice, banned claims) and the two most recent files
in `scripts/` to match tone and format.
2. Confirm from the task: target channel, length, and the ONE takeaway the
viewer should leave with. If the task doesn't say, choose and state your
choice at the top of the file — don't ask.
3. Write to `scripts/YYYY-MM-DD-<slug>.md` with this structure:
```markdown
# <title> · <channel> · <target length>
**Takeaway:** <one sentence>
**CTA:** <what the viewer does next>
| t | visual | script |
|---|--------|--------|
| 0:00 | <what's on screen> | <spoken words, verbatim> |
```
4. Rules that make scripts survive contact with a camera:
- The first 3 seconds must state the payoff — no "hola, en este video…".
- Spoken words are written to be SAID, not read: short sentences,
contractions, no subordinate-clause pileups.
- One idea per 15 seconds of runtime. Cut the second-best idea.
- Every claim must be true of the product today. Unverifiable number →
`<DATO: pedir>` placeholder, flagged at the end of the file.
5. Done when: the file is in `scripts/`, timed to the target length (~140
spoken words per minute), and the CTA matches an actual link/action that
exists.
