Reels Scripting
Turn a reference Instagram Reel into a script for your own Reel, tuned to your voice and repurposed from your newsletter content. Takes a Reel URL or Notion reference link, uses Apify to scrape the video, sends it to Gemini 2.5 Flash for full transcript + hook + structure analysis, then writes a new script applying the same patterns to your newsletter topic. Use this skill whenever the user says "script a reel", "reels scripting", "turn this into a reel", pastes an Instagram Reel URL, or references their Notion outlier reels database. Requires APIFY_API_TOKEN and GOOGLE_AI_API_KEY environment variables.
