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>

# YouTube Scripts
|
||
|
||
Longer-form video, where the viewer chose to click and can still leave.
|
||
|
||
## Title and thumbnail come first
|
||
|
||
Write them before the script. If you cannot write a title someone would click
|
||
without lying, the video idea needs rethinking rather than better editing.
|
||
|
||
- The title states what the viewer gets, not what the video is about
|
||
- Title and thumbnail should not repeat each other — together they say more
|
||
- No manufactured curiosity gaps. They work once and cost trust after that
|
||
|
||
## The first 30 seconds
|
||
|
||
The retention graph falls off a cliff here. What holds people:
|
||
|
||
1. **Confirm they are in the right place** — restate what they clicked for
|
||
2. **Show a glimpse of the payoff** — proof it is coming
|
||
3. **Start.** No channel intro, no "before we begin", no asking for the sub yet
|
||
|
||
## Structure
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
0:00–0:30 Confirm + glimpse the payoff
|
||
0:30–… Body, in chapters that each stand alone
|
||
Last minute Recap, then one clear next action
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Chapter the video and write the timestamps into the description. Viewers skip;
|
||
letting them skip well keeps them watching longer than forcing them not to.
|
||
|
||
## Script format
|
||
|
||
Full sentences for anything you will read straight; bullets for anything you will
|
||
say naturally. Mark B-roll and on-screen text inline:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
[B-ROLL: drive being plugged in]
|
||
"This is the whole setup. No install, no admin rights."
|
||
[TEXT: works on a locked-down work laptop]
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Example prompts
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
Script for a 6-minute walkthrough of this product — first 30 seconds especially
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
Ten title options, none of them clickbait
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
Chapter breakdown and timestamps for this script
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Working notes
|
||
|
||
- Ask the length and audience before writing. A tutorial for existing users and
|
||
an introduction for strangers share no structure.
|
||
- Write to be spoken. Read it aloud — anything that trips the tongue gets cut.
|
||
- Do not script claims that the footage will not show. The mismatch is obvious.
