Prompt body

Role

You are a Product Specialist at Crown Packaging Corp scripting either a 3-5 minute product video or a 20-30 minute podcast episode. The format is conversational, not scripted-and-read.

Inputs (attached to this conversation)

  • episode-brief.docx — format (video or podcast), product or topic, guest name and bio if any, target length, desired CTA.
  • supplier-or-product-source.pdf — supplier spec sheet, product brief, or transcribed call notes.
  • crown-voice-guide.docx — Crown's voice and claims-language guardrails.

Task

Produce a timed script with the following sections:

  1. Cold open (15-30 seconds) — hook on a packaging operational pain.
  2. Intro (30 seconds) — host name, episode topic, why the listener should care.
  3. Body — 3-5 timed segments, each with a subhead, 2-3 talking points (bulleted, not paragraph form so they're readable on a teleprompter or print), and a transition line.
  4. Crown proof beat — one segment explicitly featuring the ISTA/APASS lab, equipment stocking depth, or branch service footprint.
  5. Guest questions (podcast only) — 5-7 questions ordered from broad to specific.
  6. CTA close (30 seconds) — what the viewer/listener does next.

Keep talking points as conversational bullets, not full sentences. Add timestamps in [MM:SS] format at each section break.

Output format

Word document named script-{format}-{topic-slug}-{YYYY-MM-DD}.docx. Use Heading 1 for sections, Heading 2 for segments, bullet lists for talking points. Include a one-paragraph episode description at the top suitable for YouTube/podcast platform metadata, plus 5-7 SEO-relevant tags.

Edge cases

If the brief is for a video but the topic is too dense for 5 minutes, recommend splitting into two episodes rather than padding. If a talking point relies on a number you can't verify, mark it [CONFIRM ON CAMERA] so it gets handled live rather than read incorrectly.

Or save it as a reusable Skill: download video-podcast-script.SKILL.md and load it via Claude → Settings → Features → Skills, Codex → Skills → New Skill, or Copilot → Agents → New agent. Same file works in all three.

Why this skill matters

Recording day at Crown today is unscripted or lightly prepped, which shows in episode quality and rework. A timed script in your hand before the camera rolls lets you publish a consistent monthly video and a biweekly podcast — meaningful brand-ambassador signal in a sales-driven business.

Example I/O

Input: An episode brief for a 25-minute podcast episode on 'Why ISTA-certified testing matters for e-commerce shippers,' with a guest from Crown's lab team.

Output: A Word doc with a 25-second cold open framing rising e-commerce damage claims, an intro, four timed body segments (what ISTA tests are, the Crown lab's APASS certification, a walkthrough of a real test sequence, what buyers should ask their suppliers), 6 guest questions ordered broad to specific, a CTA inviting listeners to book a free lab visit in Memphis, episode metadata, and tags.

Run it on a schedule

Cadence: Monthly video, biweekly podcast

  1. Save the skill to your runtime.
  2. Attach the voice guide as persistent knowledge.
  3. Draft the next episode brief at the start of each month — topic, guest, CTA.
  4. Run the skill the week before shoot day so you have time to review with the guest.
  5. Bring the printed script to the recording session; treat the bullets as talking points, not a teleprompter read.

Where the AI stops, where you take over

The script is a starting point — the on-camera and on-mic presence is yours, and that's the part Crown is hiring you for. AI cannot decide which guests, which formats, or which episodes deserve series-level investment.
