Script Creation - The Mirror Technique

Write reel scripts by 1-to-1 mirroring a viral competitor reel's structure. Never write from scratch. Copy the beat structure and syntax, swap the topic.

The core principle

Scripts that go viral share specific structural patterns: beat count, word count per beat, connector phrases, rhythm. Instead of inventing new structure, extract it from a proven reel and apply it to your topic.

When to use this skill

• Writing any new reel script
• "Do one like [creator]" or "mirror [reel]"
• Rewriting an underperforming script
