What is pitch-craft?

Write or fix any spoken script that has to hit a clock - demo-video voiceovers, deck walkthrough narration, and live pitch speeches. Use whenever the user asks for narration, a voiceover, a timestamp script, a pitch script, a speech that fits N minutes, wants it to "sell like Steve Jobs", or needs an existing script re-synced after a re-record or re-timed to a new slot, or says a script sounds AI-written, robotic, generic, or wants it de-slopped. This is also the engine the demo-video, pitch-deck, and pitch-package skills call for their scripts. Not for - written submission forms or essays (no clock), building deck HTML (pitch-deck), or recording video (demo-video).

Pitch Craft - Timed Spoken Scripts

A timed script is engineering plus theater. The clock is a hard constraint; the storytelling is why anyone remembers you. Every failure mode of a bad script traces to violating one of those two, so this skill enforces both: beats before words, and the craft rules in references/storytelling.md.

Steps

1. Beats before words

Get three things before drafting a single sentence:

  • The beats: what is on screen (or on stage) at each moment, in order. For a demo voiceover these are the recording's milestones - use the sidecar's verified t_video values, never planned holds (see demo-video's Gate 3); for a deck they are the slides; for a live pitch they are slides plus stage moments (team intro, demo break).
  • The clock: either fixed windows from an existing recording (0:16 -> 0:43), or a total slot to budget (a 5-minute pitch).
  • What each beat proves: a beat with no claim behind it gets cut, not narrated.

If the beats don't exist yet, build the beat sheet first and get the user's sign-off. For a demo film that beat sheet is demo-video's storyboard - five columns, journey coverage, Gate 1 approval - not an ad-hoc list. Prose written before beats always runs long and anchors the story to sentences instead of evidence.
