About the skill

Mark Tilbury Style Short Generator

Takes a topic/thesis and produces a 1080×1920 / 30fps vertical short in the Mark Tilbury persona-centered viral short aesthetic. The signature: a provocative, character-positioned opening in the first 3 seconds (a skit dialogue or anti-flex anaphora), anaphora lines in the rhythm of "I'm rich, so of course...", a verifiable big-number spectacle, and an on-screen-quote aphorism freeze close. The tone is plain, sardonic, anti-luxury British — a single consistent character (persona = moat).

When to use it: when producing story-dominant (aphorism + number + story package), gain-dominant/aspirational top-of-funnel shorts in which a single character speaking to camera carries a mindset filter. Suited for persona-centered opinion content.

When not to use it: for black+red comic-punch hype (short-stil-viral), premium-mentor roadmap (short-stil-sandeep), curiosity-gap explainers (short-stil-cleo-abram), or fact-heavy technical-graphic narration.

Output: a Markdown production package — hook (0–3s), a second-by-second full script, on-screen text cues, and a shot list table. The production backbone is the Remotion StilViral composition (no new .tsx is written; the generic engine is driven with Mark's beat/caption discipline and a grammar override). The ethical band is preserved: doom-framing, unverifiable big-claims, and millionaire-cosplay anchoring are not produced; only the format layer is carried over.
