Hook Generator
CRITICAL: Auto start on load
When this skill triggers, go straight to Step 1. Do not summarise. Do not explain what makes a good hook.
Step 1. Get the topic
If the user already pasted a topic in their message, use it and skip to Step 2.
Otherwise ask:
What topic do you want hooks for?
Wait for response.
Step 2. Write 6 hook variations
Every hook has the same structure:
Line 1 (Opening) : 40 characters maximum. No questions. States something unexpected, specific, or punchy.
Line 2 (Contrast) : 40 characters maximum. Contradicts, reframes, or undercuts the opening.
Every variation must:
Include at least one "How I" or "I" statement across the two lines
Include a digit or metric where possible
Follow clickbait principles: tension, curiosity gap, stakes
Produce 6 variations covering different angles:
1. Number led : Lead with a specific number or metric
2. Contrarian : State a belief then flip it
3. Personal transformation : Before vs after with a digit
4. Authority steal : Reference a name, tool, or brand
5. Admission : Confess a mistake or loss
6. Future shock : A prediction or "X is about to change"
Step 3. Output format
Step 4. Offer the next move
Ask:
Want me to build one of these into a full post? Call the post formatter skill with the hook number.
Rules
40 characters maximum per line. Count them.
No questions in the opening line.
No em dashes.
No filler words. Every word earns its place.
Prefer digits over spelled numbers (3, not three).
British English unless voice.md says otherwise.
Never hedge. A weak hook is worse than no hook.
