SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you turn a normal video clip into a stronger opening by adding a dramatic ~4-second hook and an optional on-screen title, without rebuilding the original edit.

Core Features & Use Cases

Scene-aware hook selection: Reads the clip’s subject, framing, lighting, and visible hero objects so the intro fits the actual scene.
One-call render workflow: Uses Pika MCP to generate both the hook-only clip and the stitched final video in a single render flow.
Title guidance and styling: Can add a short all-caps title and recommend typography that stays readable over the opening effect.
Use case: A creator wants a scroll-stopping intro for a product demo, vlog, or social post; this Skill adds the disruptive hook and returns a ready-to-share result.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to add a viral hook to your video and include a short title if you want one.
