Podcast Script Generator

Transform structured podcast notes into engaging, presenter-style video scripts.

When to Use

Use this skill when the user wants to:

• Convert structured notes into presenter-style video scripts
• Rewrite podcast summaries for short video content
• Create conversational broadcast content from formal notes
• Generate scripts with strong personal voice and recommendations

Workflow

Step 1: Get Source Material

Ask the user for the content source:

1. Direct paste: User pastes text directly
2. Daily podcast file: File from /Users/ugreen/Documents/obsidian/每日播客/
3. Other file path: Any other markdown file

If user provides a file path, read it with Read tool.

Step 2: Analyze Content Structure

Identify:

• Title & Guest: Podcast name and main speaker
• Core Theme: Main topic discussed
• Key Points: Numbered list of insights (usually 3-12 points)
• Highlights: Dialogue excerpts or quotes
• Data/Examples: Statistics, case studies, comparisons

Step 3: Apply Broadcasting Style

Read references/style-reference.md and references/example-conversions.md to internalize the target style.

Opening (Varied, Natural)

Avoid the fixed template. Instead, choose from these natural openings based on content:

• "今天要给你推荐一期播客..."
• "最近听到一期特别有意思的节目..."
• "这期是我最近听到的对[领域]非共识观点最多的一期..."
• "这个月听到的最有收获的一期播客..."
• "如果你关注[话题]，这期播客你一定要听..."

Then introduce the guest naturally:

• "嘉宾是[名字]，[一句话身份]..."
• "介绍一下[名字]，[成就/背景]..."

Add a hook specific to the content:

• "她几个月前演讲说'不要相信设计流程'，3个月后自己就觉得过时了..."
• "他可能是华尔街唯一一个既能看懂财务报表，又能看懂火箭发动机的人..."

Content Transformation Rules

Rule 1: No "发言人" markers

• Direct output without speaker labels
• Use paragraph breaks to indicate natural pauses

Rule 2: Banned sentence patterns

DO NOT use these rigid contrasting patterns:

• ❌ "不是...而是..."
• ❌ "是...不是..."
• ❌ "被...倒逼着..."
• ❌ "从...变成...，从...变成..." (overly structured parallel)

Instead, express contrast naturally:

• ✅ "设计不是主动想变，是工程端的变化逼着你必须变"
• ✅ "以前大家把这套流程当真理，但现在基本已经死了"
• ✅ "工程师已经转向命令行和agent模式，而设计师开始用IDE了"

Rule 3: Use conversational connectors SPARINGLY

Limit these phrases (max 1-2 per section):

• "说白了" → use "意思是" or just omit
• "这什么意思呢" → use "为什么？" or just explain directly
• "所以你看" → use "结果就是" or just show the result

Rule 4: Natural transitions

Instead of rigid structure markers, use:

• "第一个让我意外的点是..."
• "还有一个特别反直觉的发现..."
• "这里有个特别有意思的地方..."
• "更夸张的是..."
• "说到这个，就不得不提..."

Rule 5: Personal commentary

Insert reactions naturally:

• "我觉得这个点特别值得思考"
• "特别反直觉"
• "特别有意思"
• "让我特别意外"

Rule 6: Explain concepts conversationally

When explaining complex ideas:

• Start with the problem or context
• Walk through the logic step by step
• Use "打个比方" for analogies when needed
• End with "就是说" or just the conclusion

Closing

End naturally:

• "好了，今天就聊到这..."
• "今天就分享到这里..."
• "今天就聊到这，如果你也[相关话题]，强烈建议去听听完整播客..."
• "我是[昵称]，下次见"

Step 4: Output Format

Produce:

1. Full script without speaker markers, with natural paragraph breaks
2. Estimated duration (250 words ≈ 1 minute)
3. 3-5 suggested titles for the video
4. Recommended hashtags/topics

Style Guidelines

Paragraph Structure

• Each paragraph: 2-4 short sentences
• Use empty lines between paragraphs for pacing
• One idea per paragraph
• Key data/quotes can stand alone

Tone

• Conversational, like talking to a friend
• First person "我" perspective
• Natural enthusiasm without exaggeration
• Occasional rhetorical questions

Language

• Avoid written-style transitions
• Prefer short sentences
• Use spoken Chinese patterns
• Keep technical terms but explain them naturally

Reference Materials

• references/style-reference.md - Full example of target style
• references/example-conversions.md - Before/after conversion examples with techniques

Constraints

1. Preserve all factual information - change style, not substance
2. Maintain accuracy of data, quotes, and attributions
3. Target length: 750-1500 words (3-6 minutes of video)
4. If source is too long, ask user which points to prioritize
5. NO "发言人" markers
6. NO rigid "不是...而是" patterns
7. Use "说白了" max 1-2 times in entire script
