What is Article to Video Script?
The Article to Video Script skill is designed for content creators, marketers, and researchers who need to bridge the gap between written content and video media. It specializes in converting articles, research reports, and blog posts into high-retention scripts that sound like authentic creator commentary rather than robotic narration. As a standout among Openclaw Skills, it emphasizes analytical depth, extracting second-order effects and hidden incentives from source material to provide a unique perspective.
This skill is built with strict style enforcement to ensure professional output, avoiding corporate fluff and focusing on pattern-interrupt hooks that capture attention instantly. Whether you are producing a quick 90-second vertical video or a comprehensive 10-minute technical breakdown, this tool provides the structural framework and tone necessary for high-performance video content.
Article to Video Script Use Cases
- Repurposing blog posts into viral TikTok or Instagram Reel scripts.
- Converting technical whitepapers into engaging 10-minute YouTube commentary.
- Generating rapid-response video scripts for trending news articles.
- Developing consistent, opinionated commentary for brand-led video channels.
How Article to Video Script Works
- The user provides a mode selection (short or long) and the source article text.
- The skill validates the input, ensuring a clear target duration is set before processing.
- Content analysis begins, focusing on identifying key statistics, contradictions, and incentives within the text.
- A structured script is generated featuring a high-impact HOOK, a detailed BODY, and a soft CTA.
- For long-form content, the skill adds specific screen-direction prompts such as chart overlays and data zooms.
Article to Video Script Setup
To integrate this into your workflow, include the script definition in your agent's skill library. No external dependencies are required beyond a compatible AI agent environment.

Article to Video Script Data Schema & Taxonomy
The skill utilizes a strict input-to-output mapping to ensure consistency across different content sources:
| Input Component | Requirement | Description |
|---|---|---|
| MODE | Mandatory | Defines length: 'short' (≤90s) or 'long' (~10 min). |
| ARTICLE | Mandatory | The raw text content to be analyzed. |
| Tone | Internal Logic | Confident, analytical, and creator-focused. |
| Output Section | Focus | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| HOOK | Pattern Interrupt | Captures attention in the first 0-10 seconds. |
| BODY | Commentary | Delivers insights, data, and implications. |
| LIGHT CTA | Engagement | Low-pressure request for follows or comments. |
Article to Video Script Advanced Features

- Intelligent data simplification that preserves technical accuracy while improving spoken flow.
- Automated screen-direction prompts (e.g., [Pull up chart]) for long-form video editors.
