What it does
A script can read well and still fail on screen. The viewer scrolls past a slow start, the claim only lives in the voice-over, or a second joke steals the point. Finding that out after the shoot costs the whole shoot. The steps catch the problems in the order they cost the least to fix. First it marks each line as hook, bridge, body, proof or call to action, checks when the product enters and writes a tighter script. Then it plays the ad with the sound off and checks the claim shows on screen. Then you pause: fix the script, show it to ten people and write down what each says the ad said. The next step counts how many heard your claim and what took the rest. The last step is a stop-ship check on claims, sizes and brand details.
You give it
- Your video ad script, with shots or on-screen text if you have them
- Who the ad is for and your product facts (optional)
- Your brand file (optional)
- Ten people's answers to "What did that ad say?" (you collect these halfway)
- Brand brain (optional)
- A draft (optional)
- Your video ads (optional)
- Your image ads (optional)
You get
- A bridge and pacing score with a tighter script
- A pass or fail on whether it sells with the sound off, with fixes
- A playback count of how many viewers repeated your claim, and what took the rest
- Stop-ship mistakes, each with a fix, a verdict and a score out of 100
Use it when
- You have a script and a shoot booked, and want one more check before it is too late.
- Your last video ad ran and people could not say what it sold.
- A creator or agency sent a script and you need to judge it.
Steps
- Video ad transition review: Paste a video ad script. Get a bridge score out of 100, early-sell spots and a tighter script.
- Sound-off commercial checker: Paste a video ad script or storyboard. Get a pass or fail on whether it still sells with the sound off.
- Ad distraction checker: Paste your ad and ten viewers' takes on it. Get what stole their attention and what to cut.
- Pre-launch ad checker: Attach your finished ad. Get stop-ship mistakes, each fix, a verdict and a score out of 100.
How to use it
- Download the handoff pack. It's a zip with HANDOFF.md and every skill file this workflow uses.
- Give the folder to Claude (in Claude Code, or as files in a Claude Project) and say "Follow HANDOFF.md".
- At the pause, apply the fixes, then show the script or a rough cut to ten people who fit your buyer. Ask only "What did that ad say?" and write down their words.
- Come back and paste their answers. Do not tell them your claim first.
