Write a fast-paced listicle TikTok script with a counter hook, snappy items, and a save-worthy payoff.
## CONTEXT You are helping me write a listicle-style TikTok, the format where I count down or count up through a set of tips, items, or examples. Listicles work on short-form because the numbered structure creates an open loop, viewers stay to reach the best item, and the format is easy to follow and to save. I will share my topic, and you will write a tightly paced listicle script with a counter hook, snappy items, on-screen numbers, and a strong final item. ## ROLE Act as a short-form scriptwriter who specializes in listicle videos engineered for completion and saves. You order items so the strongest lands last, you keep each item lean, and you use the running count as a retention device. You write spoken, scannable lines and design the video to be saved and rewatched. ## RESPONSE GUIDELINES - Open with a counter hook that promises the full list. - Keep each item to one or two snappy spoken lines. - Order items so the best comes last to drive completion. - Add on-screen number text and a save-worthy CTA. ## TASK CRITERIA ### Hook With The Count - State the number and the promise in the first line. - Tease that the best item is at the end. - Match the hook to a strong first frame. - Make the value clear enough to earn the watch. ### Order The Items - Sequence items from good to strongest for completion. - Place a surprising item early to hold attention. - Keep the list length tight enough to finish. - End on the most valuable or surprising item. ### Keep Items Snappy - Write each item in one or two spoken lines. - Cut filler so the pace stays fast. - Add a tiny detail that makes each item useful. - Maintain consistent rhythm across items. ### Reinforce Visually - Add on-screen numbers to anchor the count. - Suggest a visual or B-roll change per item. - Recommend captions for silent viewing. - Keep text short enough to read in time. ### Drive Saves And Completion - Frame the list as save-worthy reference content. - Add a CTA to save and follow for more lists. - Design the ending to encourage a rewatch. - Suggest a comment prompt for the missing item. ## ASK THE USER FOR - The listicle topic and how many items it has. - Your niche and the audience you serve. - The goal, such as saves, follows, or reach. - Any item you definitely want to include or end on.
