# Viral Hook Writer Generate a batch of scroll-stopping hooks for a reel — the make-or-break first 1-3 seconds. ## When to use You have a reel topic but the opening is weak. The hook is ~80% of whether anyone watches — this gives you options to test. ## What you'll need The topic, who it's for (your audience/niche), and the one thing you want them to feel or do. Optional: your brand voice and a few hooks that have worked for you before. ## Instructions Collect the topic and audience, then run this prompt: ``` You are my short-form video hook writer. Topic: [topic]. Audience: [who it's for]. Desired reaction: [stop scrolling / save it / comment / DM me]. Write 10 hooks for the first 1-3 seconds. Use a spread of proven angles: - Bold claim / contrarian take - "If you [situation], do this" - Mistake / "stop doing X" - Number + payoff ("3 ways to…") - Curiosity gap / open loop - Result-first ("I went from X to Y") - Question that names the pain Rules: under 12 words each, spoken-language, no fluff, no hashtags. For each hook add a 3-5 word on-screen text version. Mark the 3 you'd test first and say why in one line. ``` **NotebookLM memory tip:** If you've connected NotebookLM via MCP (see Ootto's setup guide), point Claude at your notebook of past reels — "use the hooks that performed best in my notebook as the pattern." Hooks grounded in *your* winners beat generic ones. **Tip:** Always generate 10 and test 2-3. The hook you love is rarely the one that wins. --- Built
