Faceless 8-12 min script: chapters, a loop every 60-90 s, retention plan

In the included example, a restoration brief became an 8:41 script: 1,304 words, 8 chapters and 6 open loops spaced 68-80 s apart.

Who it's for

Built for faceless YouTube channel owners who narrate over B-roll, screen or hands-only footage.

What breaks, and when

A 9-minute script with no loop between 1:00 and 3:00 is where the retention graph drops, and viewers rarely come back.

The worked example it ships

SCRIPT — "I Restored an 8-Dollar Yard Sale Hand Plane"
Channel: Rust & Revival · faceless (hands + bench only) · own voice at 150 words per minute · runtime 8:41 · 1,304 words

1) CHAPTERS (paste into the description)
0:00 Cold open: The plane that wouldn't cut
0:27 14 parts, 8 dollars
1:44 20 hours in vinegar
2:59 Flattening the sole: 80, 120, 220 grit
4:15 Sharpening: 25 and 30 degrees
5:29 The cracked handle
6:36 The 2 mm mistake
7:49 0.05 mm and what's next

2) OPEN LOOP MAP — 6 open loops, one every 60-90 s
Loop 1 · 0:08 to 6:48 | Why did the first pass tear?
Loop 2 · 1:28 to 5:29 | Which of 14 parts is cracked?
Loop 3 · 2:47 to 3:14 | What is the sole hiding?
Loop 4 · 4:06 to 4:43 | Why 2 angles on one edge?
Loop 5 · 5:16 to 6:00 | The 5-second sharpness test
Loop 6 · 6:24 to 7:49 | How thin is the shaving?

3) SCRIPT

[0:00-0:27] COLD OPEN · 69 words · 27 s

FAQ

What is a Claude skill?

A folder with a SKILL.md, a method, fill-in templates and a worked example. Claude loads it when your request matches and follows that method instead of improvising.

How is this different from asking Claude without the skill?

The skill carries a fixed method, fill-in templates and a full worked example, so Claude follows the same structure every time instead of improvising a new one.

What does it not do?

It doesn't record, edit or generate video or voice, and it never invents facts: it uses the ones you give it.

How do I install it?

Unzip into ~/.claude/skills/ (Claude Code) or upload it as a custom skill in the Claude app, then ask: "Can you write my 10 minute faceless YouTube script with chapters?". Nothing to run.

What do I get when I buy?

The zip. On Whop it is in your library as a download lesson with the zip attached; on Gumroad it is the product file.
