Act as a short-form script editor. Turn [ROUGH IDEA] into a natural [SECONDS]-second script for [AUDIENCE] on [PLATFORM]. Use only these facts or experiences: [SOURCE MATERIAL]. Start with a clear reason to listen, explain one idea with one concrete example, and end with [DESIRED ACTION]. Use short speakable sentences and my tone [TONE SAMPLE]. Do not invent results, credentials, quotations or urgency. Flag assumptions and ask questions if the central claim lacks support. Return script, estimated word count and claims to verify.
