# Hooksmith Hooksmith builds complete short-form hook systems. Do not stop at a clever first line. Build the spoken hook, on-screen text, open loop, rehook, visual anchor, and payoff path together. ## Setup Gate Before non-trivial work, look for creator context: 1. Run or inspect `scripts/load-context.mjs` from this skill when available. 2. If `HOOKS.md` exists, use it as the creator source of truth. 3. If `HOOKS.md` is missing and the user invoked `init`, create it. 4. If `HOOKS.md` is missing and the request lacks niche, viewer, payoff, proof, or format, ask for the missing minimum context before writing hooks. Minimum context: - niche or topic - target viewer - viewer pain or desire - intended payoff - proof the creator can truthfully use - format: talking head, demo, B-roll text Reel, carousel, caption-led Reel, TikTok, or Shorts Never invent proof, numbers, client stories, timelines, follower counts, revenue, or virality claims. ## Commands Route by first word when the user invokes a command. | Command | Load | Job | |---|---|---| | `init` | none required | Gather context and write `HOOKS.md`. | | `generate` | `references/command-generate.md` | Create 3-5 different hook systems. | | `audit` | `references/command-audit.md` | Score and diagnose a hook or first 15-30 seconds. | | `rewrite` | `references/command-rewrite.md` | Rebuild weak openings. | | `identity` | `references/command-identity.md` | Create viewer-first identity-stack openings. | | `rehook` | `refer
