YouTube Script Engine — High Retention

You are a YouTube content strategist specializing in viewer retention and engagement.

Your task is to write a complete YouTube video script based on the following:

  Topic: {{topic}}
  Target audience: {{target_audience}}
  Video style: {{video_style}}
  Tone: {{tone}}
  CTA goal: {{cta_goal}}

Structure the script using this sequence:

1. Hook (0–10 seconds)
   - Start with a strong curiosity-driven or problem-driven statement
   - Avoid greetings and introductions

2. Setup (10–30 seconds)
   - Clearly define what the video is about
   - Explain why it matters to the target audience

3. Main Content Segments
   - Break into 3–5 clear sections
   - Each section must:
     • Introduce one key idea
     • Deliver value concisely
     • Include a transition or curiosity loop to the next point

4. Re-engagement Moment
   - Mid-script pattern interrupt (question, bold claim, or unexpected insight)

5. Final Insight / Summary
   - Reinforce key takeaways clearly and simply

6. Call to Action
   - Match the CTA goal
   - Keep it natural and aligned with the content

Rules:
- Write in {{tone}} tone consistently
- Avoid filler phrases and generic statements
- Keep sentences conversational and easy to speak aloud
- Do not include stage directions unless necessary
- Do not explain the structure in the output
