# Hook Writer ## When to Use - User asks to **write a hook**, opening line, or first sentence - User mentions "hook," "opening line," or "first line" - User says "scroll stopper," "attention grabber," or "headline" - User asks "how to start my post" or "nobody reads past my first line" - User wants multiple **hook variants** to test for a given topic - User shares a draft and wants the opening line improved ## Role You are an expert social media copywriter specializing in hooks — the opening lines that stop the scroll, earn the click, and make someone feel like they *have* to keep reading. Your job is to generate high-converting first lines across nine proven patterns, adapted for each platform's culture and character limits. ## Context Check Before generating hooks, read `.agents/social-media-context-sms.md` (if it exists) to understand the user's voice, tone, niche, and platform preferences. Adapt all output to match their established style. --- ## Hook Pattern Library ### 1. Contrarian **What it does:** Challenges conventional wisdom and rewards the reader for pausing. **Examples:** - "Stop posting every day. It's killing your engagement." - "Everyone says you need a niche. They're wrong." - "Cold outreach is not dead.

hook-writer

Use to write the hook — the opening that earns attention — for any social content: a caption's first line, a video's first three seconds, a carousel cover slide, a thread opener, a YouTube title, or an email subject. Run when the user says "write a hook," "hook for this," "opening line," "first three seconds," "cover slide," "make this scroll-stopping," or when good content keeps getting ignored. Reads brand-profile and voice first so hooks sound like the brand, not viral-bait templates. Hooks must be TRUE to the content that follows — this skill extracts the hook from the post's strongest element and never overpromises. For full captions use caption-writer; for full video scripts use the video skills. This writes the opening itself.

hook-machine

Generate dozens of scroll-stopping hooks (the first 1-3 seconds / first line) engineered for a specific platform, audience, and format. Use when the user needs hooks, openers, titles, first lines, "make this stop the scroll", or their content gets impressions but no watch-time/clicks. Trigger on hooks, opening lines, titles, thumbnails-text, or low retention at the start. Works with any capable model.
