In this week's video, I shared the exact 5 documents you need to turn Claude from a forgetful assistant into a reliable scriptwriting partner.

Don't have time to watch? Here's the short version...
The problem with using AI to write YouTube scripts isn't that it's not good enough yet - it's because you're not giving it enough context.
And the easiest way to do that is to create a dedicated "Project" for scriptwriting, and to upload the exact context it will need to help you brainstorm and write faster.
Having written my last 8 videos collaboratively with AI, and spent the last 3 months building my new AI scriptwriting app...
...I've distilled the most important pieces of context Claude needs into 5 simple documents.
Before all else, the very first step is to head over to the top left of Claude's main chat area, go to projects, and create a new project.
Done? Now, to the prompts...!
Avoid the irritating default words and structures AI produces with my "Anti-Slop Prompt" - a detailed list with explicit instructions telling Claude to stop sounding like the dang robot he is.
This training document teaches Claude the most important scriptwriting principles it'll need to help write retention-optimised scripts.
This Process Prompts document contains the "instructions" you're going to add to your project, so it understands what its job is (to help you write YouTube scripts.
The Process Prompts Doc also contains pre-loaded instructions to guide you through creating a comprehensive style guide in under 5 minutes.
Likewise, the Process Prompts Doc contains similar instructions for the creation of an audience avatar.
So... ready to write your next script with Claude's help?
That's all for this week.
Speak soon,
George 👋
