Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00081 | $0.01385 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00041 | $0.00692 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00016 | $0.00277 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00138 |
Grade A, and why
scriptwriting-methodology scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 163 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Scriptwriting Methodology for Sponsored Content
Core Framework: The DR Formula
The Direct Response (DR) Formula is the industry standard for sponsored and affiliate video scripts:
Structure
- HOOK (0-3 seconds): Stop the scroll
- PROBLEM (3-7 seconds): Make them feel understood
- SOLUTION (7-12 seconds): Introduce the product
- VALUE PROP (12-15 seconds): Why this product is different
- SOCIAL PROOF (15-18 seconds): Results and credibility
- CTA (18-20 seconds): Clear call to action
Key Principle
Scripts should be 60 words or less for a 20-second video. The structure should feel like storytelling, not advertising.
Alternative Frameworks
PAS (Problem-Agitate-Solution)
Simpler structure for short-form content:
- Problem (15%): Identify the specific problem
- Agitate (25%): Intensify the pain — make them FEEL it
- Solution (60%): Present the product as the answer
Key insight: Agitation is the most overlooked step. "Hammering the problem home gets under the reader's skin."
AIDA (Attention-Interest-Desire-Action)
Classic framework from 1898, still effective:
- Attention: Punchy hook (first 1-3 seconds)
- Interest: Why should they care? What's in it for them?
- Desire: Convert interest into want through emotion, social proof
- Action: Clear call-to-action
PAIPS (Problem-Agitate-Intrigue-Positive Future-Solution)
Justin Welsh's evolution of PAS:
- Problem: Identify the problem
- Agitate: Intensify emotional response
- Intrigue: Create curiosity about the solution
- Positive Future: Paint a picture of life after the problem is solved
- Solution: Present your offering
Hook Formulas
The hook is 71% of the battle. Viewers decide to stay or scroll in 1-3 seconds.
Proven Hook Types
| Type | Template | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Correction | "Stop doing [X]. Do this instead." | "Stop applying sunscreen like this..." |
| Insider Secret | "No one talks about this in [industry]..." | "No one talks about this in skincare..." |
| Quick Fix | "Here's how to fix [problem] in 60 seconds" | "Here's how to fix oily skin in 60 seconds" |
| Curiosity Loop | "Watch what happens when I..." | "Watch what happens when I add this to my routine" |
| Transformation | "I can't believe this [product] actually..." | "I can't believe this serum actually..." |
| Call-Out | "If you're a [person], this is for you" | "If you're over 30 with dry skin, this is for you" |
| Personal Mistake | "This mistake cost me [result]" | "This mistake cost me 6 months of breakouts" |
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

scriptwriting-methodology is a skill published in the GitHub repository mike-coulbourn/claude-vibes (39 stars, last pushed 8mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 81 tokens to every session and 1,385 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
