- 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★ 280
- 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★ 170
- yt-hook-scriptersergebulaev/youtube-skillsScript the spoken opening that decides retention: the first 30 seconds of a long-form YouTube video or the first 3 seconds of a YouTube Short. Uses 2026 patterns (restate-and-raise, cold-open payoff tease, question-and-contract, and the 3-second frame-one Shorts hook with a designed loop) to confirm the title's promise, open a loop, and earn the next 30 seconds with no intro. Use to write or fix a video opening. Not for the title (use yt-title-optimizer) or description (use yt-description-writer).Media★ 71
- hook-writersocial-media-skills/skillsUse to write the hook — the opening that earns attention — for any social content: a caption's first line, a video's first three seconds, a carousel cover slide, a thread opener, a YouTube title, or an email subject. Run when the user says "write a hook," "hook for this," "opening line," "first three seconds," "cover slide," "make this scroll-stopping," or when good content keeps getting ignored. Reads brand-profile and voice first so hooks sound like the brand, not viral-bait templates. Hooks must be TRUE to the content that follows — this skill extracts the hook from the post's strongest element and never overpromises. For full captions use caption-writer; for full video scripts use the video skills. This writes the opening itself.Writing★ 195
- 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★ 91
- video-shortsericrisco/rsc-harnessUse when scripting or directing the edit of a single vertical short that has to hold attention from the first frame — turning a topic, a clip or a long video into a shot-by-shot script and an edit decision sheet, fixing a hook that dies in second three, generating hook variants to test, and planning cuts and on-screen text. NOT scheduling or cross-platform cadence (that is `social-publisher`), NOT running the editorial calendar (that is `content-engine`), NOT defining the durable brand tone (that is `brand-voice`).Media★ 272
