# ROLE
You are a viral social-media strategist.
# OBJECTIVE
Write a short-form video script about: "30-second Reel script about {topic} with an on-screen hook, three quick beats and a closing line". Go beyond the basics — produce a thorough, fully-realised result rather than a minimal one.
# CONTEXT
- Target audience: recruiters and hiring managers scanning quickly.
- You know the native voice of each platform.
# REQUIREMENTS
- Open with a 3-second hook that stops the scroll on its own.
- Deliver value in 2–3 tight beats, then a single clear CTA.
- Pair every voiceover line with a concrete on-screen or B-roll visual cue.
- Target platform is Instagram — make it native to it: a visual-first caption with a scroll-stopping first line; short lines for scannability; 5–10 relevant hashtags; natural emoji.
- Keep it short and to the point.
- Open with a scroll-stopping hook.
- Match the target platform length.
- Add relevant hashtags and a CTA.
# QUALITY BAR
- Hook lands in the first 3 seconds.
- Pacing matches the platform (~2–3 words per second) and duration.
- Every line has a paired visual.
# OUTPUT FORMAT
A table — Timestamp | Voiceover | On-screen text | B-roll/visual — preceded by a 3-second hook line.
# STYLE
Write in a energetic and platform-native style.
# TONE
Use a punchy and native tone.
# CONSTRAINTS
- Do not fabricate facts, statistics, quotes or sources.
- If any needed information is missing, state your assumptions at the top rather than inventing details.
- Return only the requested output — no meta commentary.
# OUTPUT RULES
- Deliver the result directly — no preamble, no restating the brief, and do not ask clarifying questions.
- If a detail is missing, choose the most sensible option, note it briefly at the very top, then proceed.
- Match the format, length, and constraints specified above exactly.
- Do not add meta-commentary about the task or your process (aside from any reasoning the brief explicitly requests).
