One-Hour TV Pilot Script Coverage Prompt

Get Executive-Minded Notes Before Anyone Else Reads Your One-Hour TV Pilot

You’ve finished your one-hour TV pilot but before you hand it to a writer, consultant, contest reader, or industry contact, you want to know what’s actually on the page.

DIY Script Coverage turns your chosen AI tool into a rigorous first-pass development reader. Simply upload your complete pilot, paste the included prompt, and receive comprehensive, screenplay-specific analysis without a questionnaire, complicated setup, or judgment. This is a format-specific development prompt built exclusively for one-hour television pilots. The prompt evaluates your pilot according to the demands of long-form television, including layered story structure, protagonist and ensemble arcs, dramatic escalation, world-building, serialized and/or procedural storytelling, the ongoing series engine, and the narrative propulsion into Episode 2.

The prompt directs AI to analyze your pilot for:

• Gaps in story logic, motivation, and cause and effect
• Character goals, contradictions, agency, and relationships
• Structural weaknesses and stalled momentum
• Setups that lack payoffs
• Clarity and continuity issues
• The strength of your series engine
• Episode 2 propulsion
• Offers 3 tonal comps
• Generates a PASS, CONSIDER, or RECOMMEND rating
• Your three highest-priority revisions
• The strongest elements you should protect in the next draft

Unlike a generic “review my screenplay” prompt, this tool instructs AI to read through the final page, cite specific scenes and page numbers, distinguish evidence from opinion, flag uncertainty, and avoid inventing material or imposing a formulaic version of your show.

The result is not a verdict on whether your script is “good.” It’s an executive-minded development pass designed to help you see the draft more clearly, locate meaningful gaps, and strengthen the work before sharing it with a real human reader.

How It Works:

1. Upload your one-hour TV pilot as a PDF.
2. Paste the included development-notes .txt prompt.
3. Receive a structured analysis and practical revision roadmap.

Your download includes:

1. A Quick-Start Guide
2. The complete copy-and-paste prompt in a plain-text file
3. A quality-control process for evaluating the results

Upload your pilot. Uncover the gaps. Strengthen your next draft.

Note: AI notes are input, not instructions. The writer remains the final authority.
