What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you avoid low-retention openings by providing proven first-1.5-second hook patterns for short-form videos so more viewers watch past the swipe.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Hook pattern catalog: Uses specific patterns (e.g., pattern-interrupt, problem-aware, curiosity-gap, contrarian, identity bait) with rules on when to apply each.
• Hook safety rails: Prevents common skip triggers like brand-first opens, filler intros, and banned opener phrases.
• Retention-first workflow: Guides you to choose patterns, write multiple hook variants, and evaluate them for caption readability, claim specificity, and interrupt strength.

Quick Start

Generate three hook variants for a 25–35 second TikTok ad in the style of pattern-interrupt, problem-aware, and contrarian, each with a frame-1 visual, on-screen text, and a voiceover line that fits the first 1.5 seconds.
