yt-hook-scripter
From the author
Script 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).

- 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
- yt-description-writersergebulaev/youtube-skillsWrite a full YouTube video description under 5,000 characters with a first-150-character hook (the only part visible before Show more, and what shows in search and suggested), timestamped chapters, naturally placed keywords, links, and a clear call to action. Covers long-form and YouTube Shorts. Becomes the create-post content that publishes with the video. Use to write or rework a description. Not for the title (use yt-title-optimizer) or the spoken opening (use yt-hook-scripter).Writing★ 71
- 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
- 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
- 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
- yt-title-optimizersergebulaev/youtube-skillsWrite high-CTR YouTube and YouTube Shorts titles under 100 characters using 2026 packaging formulas (curiosity-gap, number, how-I outcome, mistake/loss, transformation, versus). Balances curiosity with a real keyword, front-loads the click-deciding words for the 60-char mobile cutoff, and returns 3 to 5 A/B variants tagged by goal for Test and Compare. Use to title or rework a video. Not for the description (use yt-description-writer) or the thumbnail overlay (use yt-thumbnail-brief).Testing★ 71
