"description": "Generate scroll-stopping hooks — the first line of a post, thread, video, or email that decides whether anyone keeps reading. Use when asked to write a hook, an opener, a first line, a thread starter, a video cold-open, or to make something more clickable. Produces multiple distinct hook options across proven angles (curiosity, contrarian, result, story, stakes), each labelled with why it works and which platform it fits."

Hook Writer Skill
The hook is 80% of the result. A brilliant post with a flat first line dies; a mediocre post with a great hook travels. This skill writes hooks the way top creators do — multiple angles, each engineered to stop the scroll — so you can pick the one that fits.
Working from a brief
Given just a topic or a finished piece, generate the hooks anyway. Infer the audience and the payoff, and never return a single safe option — the value is in the range. Mark any invented number (assumed — use a real one) because specific numbers are part of what makes hooks land.
Required Inputs
Ask for (if not already provided):
- The topic / the content the hook is for
- Platform & format (X, LinkedIn, YouTube title, Reel cold-open, email subject)
- Audience and the payoff (what they get if they keep reading)
Output Format
Give 8–12 hooks grouped by angle, each with a one-line why it works and the format it suits:
- Curiosity gap — open a loop the reader needs closed
- Contrarian / pattern-break — challenge a common belief
- Specific result — a concrete, numeric outcome
- Story / in-media-res — drop them into a moment
- High stakes / cost of inaction — what they lose by ignoring it
- Listicle / promise — a clear, scannable payoff
- Question — a sharp, non-obvious question (used sparingly)
Then:
- 🏆 Top 3 picks — the strongest for the stated platform, ranked, with why.
- Hook teardown — one line on the mechanism the best hook uses, so the user can write their own next time.
Keep each hook in the platform's natural length (a YouTube title ≤60 chars; an email subject ≤50; a Reel cold-open speakable in 2–3s).
Quality Checks
- Multiple genuinely different angles, not variations of one line
- Each hook is specific (names, numbers, stakes), not vague
- Top picks match the platform's length and norms
- No clickbait that the content can't pay off — the hook must be honest
- The teardown gives a reusable mechanism
Anti-Patterns
- "Here's everything you need to know about X" (zero tension)
- Ten rewrites of the same hook
- Clickbait the body betrays (kills trust + reach long-term)
- Hooks too long for the platform (a 90-char YouTube title, a 3-line "first line")
