Improve first-run and channel setup for non-technical users: detect newer Gemini key formats, pin Node 22.22.3, add Control Panel Telegram approve flow, and keep channels/models when config is rewritten. Persist uclaw wizard state via uclaw-meta.json so restarts skip language/persona prompts. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>

Short Video Scripts
Scripts for TikTok, Reels and Shorts.
The first second decides everything
Most viewers leave before the first sentence finishes. The hook is not the first line of your script — it is what is on screen and in the audio at 0:00.
- Show the end result first, then explain how
- Start mid-action. No logo, no "hi guys", no introduction
- Say the specific thing. "Three ways to…" is skipped; "This costs S$4 and replaces a S$90 one" is not
- On-screen text from frame one — most people watch on mute
Shape
0:00–0:02 Hook. Result, claim, or the surprising thing.
0:02–0:08 Setup. Only what is needed to understand the payoff.
0:08–0:25 The content. One idea, demonstrated.
0:25–0:30 Close. What to do, or a reason to rewatch.
Under 30 seconds unless the material genuinely needs longer. Completion rate matters more than length, and a 25-second video watched twice beats a 90-second one abandoned at 20.
Writing the script
Write it as two columns — what is said, and what is on screen. They are not the same, and scripts that only cover the audio produce flat videos.
SAID ON SCREEN
"This cost four dollars." Product in hand, price tag visible
"The branded one is ninety." Split screen, both products
"Same thing. Here's the difference." Close-up on the actual difference
Example prompts

Rewrite this so it works on mute
Working notes
- Ask what the video is for. A demo, a hiring post and a trend participation are different scripts.
- Do not write claims the person cannot back up on camera. A hook that overstates gets punished in the comments.
- Singapore/SEA: the audience is regional and multilingual. Keep the spoken English plain, and put anything essential in on-screen text as well as audio.
