Douyin

> **A Douyin script does not win because it is complete. It wins because it survives the first seconds.**

Douyin is an algorithm alchemist for short-form traffic structure.

This skill is built for creators who want to:
- break down why a script fails to hold attention
- rebuild weak openings into stronger hooks
- restructure pacing for recommendation-friendly short video
- improve retention logic before filming
- turn average concepts into more distribution-ready formats

Use this skill when you need to:
- strengthen the first 3 seconds
- identify retention drop-off points in a script
- redesign a video for stronger opening, tension, and payoff
- convert a flat topic into a traffic-shaped short video structure
- predict where the script feels too slow, too generic, or too easy to swipe past

This skill does NOT:
- guarantee virality
- replace editing, filming, or account strategy
- interpret platform policy or moderation outcomes
- act as a general multi-platform content assistant

## What This Skill Does

Douyin helps:
- diagnose hook weakness
- identify traffic-killing flat sections
- rebuild script pacing for stronger retention
- increase replay, curiosity, and completion pressure
- turn information delivery into algorithm-friendly content structure

---

## Best Use Cases

- short video script diagnosis
- hook redesign
- retention optimization
- topic reframing for Douyin
- turning educational or commercial topics into short-form traffic structures
- improving “普通内容” into “值得被看完的内容”

---

## What to Provide

Useful input includes:
- video topic
- script or rough outline
- target audience
- intended emotion (shock, curiosity, desire, anger, identification, aspiration)
- current weak point
- whether the goal is 播放, 完播, 转化, 评论, or关注
- whether the video is口播,剧情,混剪,测评,知识, or商品导向

## Standard Output Format

DOUYIN TRAFFIC ASSESSMENT
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Video Goal: [What this video should achieve]
Audience Mode: [Who this is for]
Traffic Type: [热点切入 / 强钩子 / 情绪反转 / 结果先行 / 冲突驱动]

FIRST 3 SECONDS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Hook Strength: [Strong / Medium / Weak]
Swipe Risk: [Low / Medium / High]
Core Hook: [What the viewer sees/hears immediately]

RETENTION STRUCTURE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
- Opening pressure point: [why user keeps watching]
- Mid-video risk: [where attention may drop]
- Payoff moment: [what makes the watch feel worth it]
- Replay / comment trigger: [what may drive repeat or reaction]

MAIN PROBLEMS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚠️ [Too slow]
⚠️ [Too generic]
⚠️ [Hook too soft]
⚠️ [No payoff tension]
⚠️ [No emotional or practical reward]

REBUILD PLAN
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
1. [Rewrite opening]
2. [Compress weak middle]
3. [Strengthen payoff]
4. [Add replay/comment trigger]

NEXT STEP
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
- [What to rewrite, exaggerate, invert, or cut next]

## Traffic Principles

- the first seconds decide whether the rest matters
- clarity alone does not create retention
- a strong opening should create pressure, curiosity, or reward expectation
- weak middle sections silently kill distribution
- payoff must feel earned and legible
- replay and reaction are often created by contrast, surprise, or strong framing
- complexity is often the enemy of short-form completion

---

## Hook Lens

When analyzing a Douyin script, ask:

- Why should the viewer not swipe in the first 3 seconds?
- Is the opening showing result, tension, contradiction, or curiosity?
- Is the viewer being rewarded for staying?
- Is there a reason to rewatch, comment, or send to someone?
- Does this script feel like Douyin, or like a normal script awkwardly forced into short video?

## Execution Protocol (for AI agents)

When user asks for Douyin-oriented script help, follow this sequence:

### Step 1: Parse content intent
Extract:
- topic
- audience
- format
- emotional goal
- current script or outline
- what metric matters most

### Step 2: Diagnose the hook
Check:
- whether the first 3 seconds create pressure
- whether the opening gives a reason to stay
- whether the opening is too generic, too slow, or too explanatory

### Step 3: Diagnose retention
Check:
- where attention likely drops
- whether the middle is too flat
- whether the payoff arrives too late or too weakly
- whether the script has replay or reaction potential

### Step 4: Rebuild structure
Suggest:
- stronger opening line or visual
- tighter pacing
- more contrast, conflict, surprise, or result-first structure
- clearer payoff design

### Step 5: Output traffic logic
Return:
- hook diagnosis
- retention diagnosis
- rebuild plan
- swipe-risk judgment
- next rewrite step

### Step 6: Guardrails
If the script depends on trend context, niche culture, or current hot topics not provided:
- say so clearly
- do not fake trend certainty
- ask for audience or niche context if needed

## Activation Rules (for AI agents)

### Use this skill when the user asks about:
- Douyin script optimization
- 前3秒钩子
- retention or 完播
- why a short video feels flat
- Douyin-native content restructuring
- how to make a script more likely to hold attention
- traffic logic in short-form video

### Do NOT use this skill when:
- the user only wants generic copywriting
- the user needs editing software help
- the user wants pure paid-ad buying guidance
- the user wants platform policy interpretation
- the user asks for a broad all-platform strategy without Douyin-specific goals

### If context is ambiguous
Ask:
"Do you want Douyin-native traffic restructuring, or just a general script rewrite?"

## Boundaries

This skill supports Douyin-native script restructuring and traffic-shape analysis.

It does not replace:
- editing execution
- account operations
- paid traffic strategy
- policy review
- platform guarantees of reach or recommendation
