What problem does it solve?
Hook-craft fixes weak chapter momentum by rewriting only the first and last few sentences so readers start fast and keep going until the next page.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Chapter opening hook enforcement: Ensures the first 3–5 sentences follow one of six hook types (in medias res, question hook, sensory immersion, voice hook, contrast hook, ticking clock) without banned patterns like weather, recap, or throat-clearing.
- Chapter ending pull enforcement: Ensures the last 3–5 sentences follow one of six pull types (cliffhanger, revelation, question plant, emotional gut punch, ominous promise, decision point) while avoiding banned endings like summaries, sleep, and fortune-cookie phrasing.
- Precision rewriting with continuity: Touches only the opening/ending slices and preserves everything in between, while considering prior and next chapter transitions.
- Self-scoring reporting: Produces a hook-craft report that records hook/pull types, scores, and whether rewrites were made.
Quick Start
Run hook-craft on your chapter draft in manuscript/chapters/ to rewrite only the opening (first 3–5 sentences) and ending (last 3–5 sentences), then generate the hook-craft report for Chapter N.
