scripted - script

A script is a written plan or guide for something, like a movie, play, or even a recipe.

When we talk about scripts in everyday life, we usually mean a document that outlines what's supposed to happen next. For example, if you're making plans for a friend's birthday party, you might write down a script of the events: "6 pm: guests arrive, 7 pm: dinner is served, 8 pm: cake and presents." This way, everyone knows what's happening and when. Scripts can also be used in business or even online, like a step-by-step guide for customers to follow.
