Viral short teardown and remake
The structure that made it work, carried onto your subject
Viral Video Teardown Remake breaks a short video that already worked into its hook, beats, and call to action, names the script pattern, and scores it on six dimensions, reading from a link, a file, screenshots, or your own description. It rebuilds that structure around your product or topic as a shot list, 9:16 beat frames, a narration track, and one vertical MP4 or separate segment clips with a timecoded edit list. Viral Video Teardown Remake works in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and other agents that run Skills.

What a structural teardown gives you
Read the structure, not just the surface
Segment the clip into hook, body beats, and call to action with second-level timings, and name the script pattern underneath it.
Know what actually carried it
Separate the structural move from the specific content and the presentation craft, so you carry over the part that transfers.
End with shootable material, not a report
Get a shot list with visuals and narration kept apart, generated beat frames delivered as stills, a narration track, and — depending on how the reference cuts — either one vertical clip animated from your opening frame, or segmented sources with captions and a timecoded edit list for your own cut.
How it is made
Bring the reference in whatever form you have
A link to the post on TikTok, Douyin, Xiaohongshu, Instagram, YouTube, or X — or a video file, screenshots of the key moments, a pasted transcript, or your own description of what happens.
A link to the reference post, or the video file · Screenshots or a transcript · What your version is about
Beats, pattern, attribution, and a six-dimension score
See the beat table with timings, the script pattern it follows, what carried the performance, and where it was weak.

Shot list, frames, narration, and either a finished clip or segmented sources
Carry the structure onto your subject, then produce the beat frames and the voice track — and, depending on how the reference cuts, either a vertical clip animated from your opening frame with the narration over it, or segment sources, captions, and a timecoded edit list for your own cut.

Every time a reference is the starting point
Study a competitor's breakout post
Work out why a rival's short took off and build your own version on the same structure.
Turn a saved reference into a format
Convert a clip from your swipe file into a repeatable shape you can run on new subjects.
Rebuild a benchmark under your brand
Keep the pacing and beat order that proved itself, and replace every claim with your own.

Questions
What do I need to start?
A reference short and a sentence about what your version is about. The reference can be a link to the post on TikTok, Douyin, Xiaohongshu, Instagram, YouTube, or X, a video file, screenshots of the key moments, a transcript, or your own description of what happens beat by beat.
What does the teardown actually tell me?
A beat table with second-level timings, the script pattern the clip follows, a ranked list of what carried its performance, a score across hook strength, information density, pacing, subject presentation, emotional curve, and conversion pull, and the one weakness your remake can improve on.
What do I get at the end?
A shot list with the on-screen action and the spoken line written apart, frames for the beats you choose, and a narration track in a voice you pick. A short reference with few cuts becomes one 9:16 vertical clip animated from your opening frame with the narration over it, and the other frames come back as images for your own edit. A longer reference, or one with more cuts, comes back as a clip for every beat, the same narration track, captions, and a timecoded edit list to assemble in your editor.
