name: varun-maya description: Write short-form video scripts using the Varun Maya framework — a punchy, journalistic style extracted from analyzing 9 of Varun Maya's top-performing Instagram reels. Use when asked to write a reel script, draft voiceover copy, or structure a short-form video script in Varun Maya's style.
Varun Maya Script Framework
Write scripts using the structure, rhythm, and language patterns extracted from Varun Maya's reels. Read references/framework.md for the full system and references/sources.md for the original 9 reels this was built from.
The Framework at a Glance
Hook: Lead with urgency. Use "just." Create tension in the first line.
Pivot: "Here's the full story." / "Here's what that actually means." — signals value is coming, holds retention.
Body: State what happened → one direct quote (exact words) → the twist → zoom out to what it means for everyone.
CTA: Debate question for divisive topics. DM keyword for utility topics. Never "follow me for more."
Hard Constraints
- 31–40 seconds. Never over 40.
- No intro, no greeting, no warm-up — word 1 is the hook.
- Second sentence must add NEW info — never restate the hook.
- One specific technical detail per script (number, tool name, price, spec).
- Contrast structure in the body — always build two sides.
Output Format
[Script text — plain, no section labels, no brackets]
