YouTube prompts
YouTube prompts across the full production loop — scripts with real retention structure, title/thumbnail concepting, hooks, descriptions — grounded in how the platform actually surfaces videos.
Every prompt lists the exact tool and version it was tested against.
Write a long-form script structured around where viewers actually drop offBuilds a full script around a cold open, a stated open loop, and a fixed pattern-interrupt cadence, and treats a past video's real retention-graph dip as a structural constraint rather than writing generically "engaging" prose.ChatGPTClaude2026-07-22Rewrite just the first 15 seconds when a finished script isn't landingIsolates the cold-open hook as its own deliverable — for testing multiple openings against one already-written video body — instead of rewriting the whole script when only the opening is the actual problem.ChatGPTClaude2026-07-24Generate title options that raise CTR without promising something the video doesn't deliverProduces a batch of title candidates scored against a stated click-through hypothesis and cross-checked line by line against what the video actually contains, so no option survives that the thumbnail-title pair would have to mislead on to earn the click.ChatGPTClaude2026-07-21Write a thumbnail concept brief a designer or image model can actually executeTurns a video topic and title into a specific composition brief — subject, expression, contrast, text treatment, and what the title is left to say instead of the image — rather than a vague "make it eye-catching" note.ChatGPTClaude2026-07-27Write a video description that actually helps search without keyword stuffingStructures a description around the fold, the transcript YouTube already indexes, and real link placement — instead of a keyword-repeated paragraph that reads as spam to both viewers and YouTube's own policy filters.ChatGPTClaude2026-07-20Generate accurate chapter timestamps from a raw transcriptTurns a raw, timestamped transcript into real chapter markers cut at genuine topic-change points, with search-usable titles — a job auto-chapters frequently gets wrong on transcripts with tangents or false starts.ChatGPTClaude2026-07-23Write a Shorts script built around the loop, not the story arcStructures a sub-60-second Shorts script so its last frame reconnects to its first, since Shorts ranks primarily on completion and rewatch rate on a separate feed from long-form watch time, not on the narrative-arc logic a full script would use.ChatGPTClaude2026-07-25Diagnose why a specific video's retention graph drops where it doesReads a described audience-retention curve alongside the actual script or transcript to name the likely cause of a specific drop, distinguishing a real content problem from a normal, harmless dip — instead of assuming every dip needs fixing.ChatGPTClaude2026-07-26Write a sponsor integration that doesn't tank retention or skip legal disclosurePlaces and scripts a mid-roll sponsor segment with a genuine content bridge on both sides and the exact FTC/YouTube disclosure language required, instead of a bolted-on read that causes a retention cliff and skips a legal requirement.ChatGPTClaude2026-07-29Pull the actual Shorts-worthy moments out of a long-form transcriptIdentifies specific timestamp ranges in a long-form transcript that work as standalone Shorts, and rejects moments that only make sense with the surrounding context the clip would cut away — instead of mechanically clipping the video's "highlights."ChatGPTClaude2026-07-28Outline a how-to script paced for people actually following along, not just watchingStructures a tutorial script around the moments a real viewer pauses to act, not just the moments a narrator finishes explaining — the specific gap where most instructional videos lose people who are trying to follow along in real time.ChatGPTClaude2026-07-20Write a "Top N" list video that earns its ranking instead of just numbering itemsForces an explicit, stated ranking criterion behind a listicle-format script and orders items to build toward a genuine top pick — instead of a script that reads as an arbitrarily numbered list of unconnected mini-reviews.ChatGPTClaude2026-07-24Structure a storytime video with a real narrative arc, not just chronological retellingRebuilds a personal-story video around what the storyteller understood by the end versus the start, with deliberate tension placement — instead of a flat, chronological "and then this happened" retelling that has no reason to hold attention.ChatGPTClaude2026-07-30Write a channel trailer that sells the channel, not one specific videoScripts a 30-60 second trailer aimed specifically at non-subscribed visitors landing on the channel page, built around what makes the whole channel worth returning to — a distinct job from any single video's hook.ChatGPTClaude2026-07-23Write an outro that earns a subscribe instead of reciting oneScripts the final 20-30 seconds around a specific, earned reason to subscribe drawn from what this exact video delivered, rather than a generic "smash that subscribe button" line disconnected from the content that just played.ChatGPTClaude2026-07-25Plan which videos an end screen should actually point to, and whyChooses end-screen elements based on session-time strategy — what keeps this specific viewer watching this channel next — instead of defaulting to "most recent upload" or a generic subscribe element in every video.ChatGPTClaude2026-07-28Write a pinned comment that seeds real conversation, not just a subscribe reminderDrafts a pinned comment specifically engineered to invite a reply-worthy response — a question, a poll, a genuine ask — rather than a restated CTA that adds a comment count without adding any actual conversation.ChatGPTClaude2026-07-21Write a Community tab post that actually re-engages subscribers before an uploadDrafts a pre-upload or between-upload Community post around a genuine reason to interact — a real choice, a real question, a specific teaser detail — rather than a generic "new video coming soon" announcement most subscribers scroll past.ChatGPTClaude2026-07-22Find real video ideas by mapping what competitor channels haven't covered wellStructures a competitor content audit around genuine coverage gaps and quality gaps in a niche, distinguishing "nobody's made this video" from "everyone's made this video badly" — two different opportunities that need different follow-up.ChatGPTClaude2026-07-27Plan a video series with each episode earning its place in the sequenceBatches out a multi-episode series where each entry's topic is justified by what the previous one couldn't cover and what it sets up for the next, instead of a loosely-related content calendar that happens to share a theme.ChatGPTClaude2026-07-26Write a gifted or sponsored product review that stays honest and properly disclosedScripts a full product-review video that separates genuine assessment from the terms of how the product was obtained, and states the required disclosure clearly up front — instead of a review that reads as an ad because the terms of receipt shaped every claim in it.ChatGPTClaude2026-07-29Turn real audience questions into a Q&A video that actually answers themGroups and answers real submitted or comment-sourced questions with specific, checkable answers, and explicitly separates a genuine answer from a graceful non-answer — rather than a Q&A script that restates a question back as a vague, feel-good response.ChatGPTClaude2026-07-24Build a livestream rundown that survives real chat interruptions and dead airStructures a livestream as flexible segments with built-in chat-engagement checkpoints and genuine filler-tolerant material, instead of a tight linear script that breaks the moment real-time chat, tech issues, or a slow start derail its timing.ChatGPTClaude2026-07-31Rewrite a YouTube video's opening eight seconds so viewers stop the swipe-past reflexDiagnoses why a planned opening will lose viewers in the first retention window and produces three distinct hook rewrites built around a specific curiosity gap, not a generic teaser line.ChatGPT (GPT-5.1)2026-08-08Turn a raw video idea into a long-form YouTube script structured around retention checkpoints, not just topic orderBuilds a full spoken script for a 8-15 minute video where every section is anchored to a specific moment the viewer might leave, not organized purely by what's logical to explain first.ChatGPT (GPT-5.1)2026-08-09Script a 30-45 second YouTube Short built to loop, not just endWrites a tight vertical-video script where the last line reconnects to the first, engineered for the replay behavior the Shorts feed rewards, instead of a script that just stops when the point is made.ChatGPT (GPT-5.1)2026-08-10Write a TikTok script that doesn't read like a repurposed YouTube videoProduces a TikTok-native script built around the platform's specific attention pattern and text-overlay conventions, with an explicit list of the YouTube-style habits to strip out.ChatGPT (GPT-5.1)2026-08-11Turn one long-form video transcript into a platform-specific repurposing plan, not just clipped copiesAnalyzes a transcript to find the moments actually worth extracting, then maps each one to the platform and format it fits best, instead of chopping the same three clips into every channel.ChatGPT (GPT-5.1)2026-08-12Build an interview podcast episode outline that gets a guest to the good stories without a rigid Q&A scriptProduces a flexible outline organized around the specific stories and tensions worth surfacing from a guest, with built-in follow-up branches, instead of a linear list of questions to read off.ChatGPT (GPT-5.1)2026-08-13Turn a podcast episode transcript into show notes that actually get found in search, not just a summary paragraphProduces structured show notes with timestamped chapters, a searchable summary, and pull-quotes built from what listeners actually say they came for, instead of a generic three-sentence recap.ChatGPT (GPT-5.1)2026-08-14Plan a multi-part YouTube content series with an arc, not just a shared title cardMaps out a 4-8 episode series where each installment builds on a real narrative or skill progression, with an explicit test for whether any episode actually needs to exist, instead of a loosely related batch under one series name.ChatGPT (GPT-5.1)2026-08-14
