SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Writing first lines that stop the scroll is hard, and weak openings cause posts to be ignored. This Skill generates multiple hook variants for social media posts, video intros, titles, and pin headlines so users can pick and test the strongest opener. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Nine Hook Patterns: Contrarian, question, story opener, statistic, list preview, bold claim, empathy, before/after, and confession, each with examples and usage guidance. - Platform Adaptation: Tailors hooks for LinkedIn, Twitter/X, Threads, Bluesky, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, and YouTube, respecting character limits and platform culture. - Testing Guidance: Provides an A/B testing approach and metrics (save rate, comment ratio, profile visits) to identify which hook patterns resonate with an audience. - Use Case: A creator planning a LinkedIn post about content strategy receives 5-7 labeled hook variants with a recommended top pick and reasoning. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to write five hook variants for your topic on a specific platform, for example: "Write hooks for a post about why most content strategies fail on LinkedIn."

FAQPage Schema
How do I write a hook for a LinkedIn post?

Provide your topic and specify LinkedIn as the platform. The Skill generates 5-7 hook variants across patterns like story opener, statistic, and before/after, adapted to LinkedIn's professional tone and its 2-3 line space before the 'see more' fold.

The best choice depends on the platform and topic; contrarian and bold claims perform well on Twitter/X, while empathy and story openers suit Threads and Facebook.

Can I generate hooks for TikTok and YouTube videos?

Yes. For TikTok, the Skill focuses on first 1-3 second video hooks, on-screen text under six words, and caption hooks. For YouTube, it addresses titles, thumbnails, and the first 5-8 seconds of the video as layered hook surfaces.

How do I A/B test social media hooks?

Post two versions of the same content with different hooks spaced 2-3 weeks apart, keeping the body identical. Compare engagement rates rather than raw numbers, focusing on save rate, comment-to-like ratio, and profile visits.

Does this Skill write full social media posts?

No. It only generates opening hooks and first lines. For complete posts, threads, or carousels, use the related post-writer-sms, thread-writer-sms, or carousel-writer-sms skills.
