You mean like cues or so?
Some basic stuff I can think of from the top of my head.
Grip - adapt the width, if I have not done OL for a while I might have to use a different width due to mobility. Make sure you find a grip for both the snatch and clean that will suit your proportions. If to wide/narrow the bar will probably miss the spot where you are most efficient.
Stance - adapt the width. Kinda same as grip, if you stand too narrow you will probably fall forward in the catch and if you are too wide you will snap shit. Most of the time the catch is a bit wider than your squat position. Also practice on keeping feet even, if one leg moves forward/backwards balance failure/injuries might occur.
Bar should pretty much be under your shoulders throughout the majority of the pull.
DO NOT rush the pull, I often see beginners who perform the first section of the pull really fast which makes them either miss the hip/thigh completely or thrust the bar outwards due to bad timing. It's not a speedpull.
Backsquat=helps snatch
Frontsquat=helps clean
Chins behind the neck is great for mobility/stability for the overhead position, mainly for snatch but also the jerk.

Overhead position (for snatch and the jerk)
External/internal rotation of the shoulders in the catch, both are used by lifters on elite level. You will most likely find out fast which suits you the best but it won't hurt experimenting on light weights.

Jerk
A stance that is a bit wider than your frontsquat stance is often to prefer to eliminate balance shifting forward in the dip. Also keep elbows down and not up (will improve the drive), flex your lats when you do this to lock elbows and stabilize.
Start to learn powerjerks before splitjerks. It put less strain on your core and it is not as technical demanding as the splitjerk. Pushpress is also great.
Grip is usually a bit wider for the jerk than the clean aswell, but it all comes down to flexibility and preferences.

LMK if there are anything specific you wanna know or if you have vids for formchecking or whatever.

I'm not sure anyone will just post the lifts without devoting an entire day to it (for each lift). Also, there is Olympic lift form for strength training and there is competition lift form and these are two drastically different things. They are different because training to get stronger is different than trying to completely max out in a performance. So you may get different cues and information depending on the source.

I'm pretty comfortable teaching Olympic lifts, but not competitive form. But I can't even fathom posting all of the lifts and how they are to be performed, point for point. If you see the topic where I posted about squat form (this month), you will see that I wrote at least one wall and that was just to address potential corrections.

Why not post a video of you performing a lift and then ask for help? It would help because what you don't know yet is everything you will need to know for your internship videos. (rather than starting from scratch)

Maybe just post a discussion topic for form in each of the lifts and see if anyone posts :) There is no royal road to Olympic lifts. It's just a lot of information.

Yeah it's so many aspects to consider compared with powerlifting or regular training.
Russian and chinese topcoaches says it takes 3-5 years to get decent at the lifts. And there is a difference between decent and strong aswell.

Just lol at trying to argue that crossfit copy style lifting is more difficult than powerlifting

Oly lifting (aka just a lame copy of crossfit) is far less technical than powerlifting in the IPF

Ah, yes. What was I thinking.
