hook-writer
From the author
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.

- viral-hook-writerOotto-AI/claude-content-skillsWrite scroll-stopping hooks for a short-form video (the first 1-3 seconds). Use when the user says "hook", "reel hook", "opening line", "scroll stopper", "first three seconds", "TikTok hook", or "how do I start this video".Writing★ 325
- video-hook-generatornicepkg/ai-workflowGenerate attention-grabbing hooks for the first 3 seconds of videos. The hook determines if viewers stay or scroll. Creates multiple hook variations for A/B testing. Use when crafting video openings, improving retention, or creating scroll-stopping content for YouTube, TikTok, or Reels.Media★ 288
- thread-writersocial-media-skills/skillsUse to write a thread — a connected sequence of posts on X/Twitter or Threads that tells one story or makes one argument across multiple posts. Run when the user says "write a thread," "turn this into a thread," "X thread," "Twitter thread," "thread about X," or has a multi-beat idea that won't fit one post. Reads brand-profile and voice first, uses hook-writer for the opening post (which must hook AND promise the payoff), builds one cohesive idea where every post earns the next, and lands a close with one CTA. Knows when a single post beats a thread. Naming trap: "write a thread" means this multi-post chain; "post on/to Threads" means a single post on Meta's Threads app — use threads-post for that. For a single caption use caption-writer; for just the opening hook use hook-writer.Writing★ 218
- tt-hook-scriptersergebulaev/tiktok-skillsScript the first 1-3 second TikTok hook: the spoken line, the on-screen text, and the opening visual firing at once so the viewer cannot swipe. Picks a 2026 hook formula (cold-open result, pattern interrupt, number reveal, open-loop question, relatable call-out, story) by goal of completion, saves, comments, or shares. The single biggest retention lever on TikTok. Use to script a hook from a video idea. Not for the caption (use tt-caption-writer) or scrubbing a script (use tt-humanizer).Media★ 100
- viral-hooksvyralcontent/content-skillsWrite and critique viral hooks for short-form video: the opening 1 to 3 seconds that decide whether anything else gets seen. Use this when you need a batch of hook ideas for a video, want to make a weak opening line stronger, are picking which hook archetype fits an idea, or want a critique of a draft hook against proven patterns. Covers the three-layer hook (visual, verbal, on-screen text), the named-creator frameworks (Kallaway, MrBeast, Hormozi, Brunson, Koe, Welsh, Bush, Galloway), scroll-stopping hook tactics, and the anti-patterns that tank first-three-seconds retention. Works across TikTok, Reels, and Shorts. Pattern-based guidance that improves the odds. It does not guarantee virality.Media★ 175
- papercut-hook0xS4N4TG/papercut-explainerWrite or fix the hook of a papercut reel. Produces the SAY / WRITE / SHOW / ALIGN block, five variants scored with the hook check, the frame-0 cover title and the motion out of the hook. Use for "write a hook for...", or when a reel's first three seconds lose people.Writing★ 105
