# Threads Hook Extractor
Paste a viral Threads post or thread URL. Get back: which hook formula it uses,
the exact structure, why it worked, and a blank template you can fill with your
own voice.
## When to use
- User finds a viral post or thread they want to study
- User wants to replicate a specific creator's pattern
- Before `threads-post-writer`, to seed a draft with a proven shape
## Input
A Threads post or thread URL (`threads.net` or `threads.com`, `/@handle/post/`).
For a thread, the URL of the first post is best.
## Output
- **Formula identified** (T1-T10 from `../../references/hook-formulas.md`) with a
confidence score
- **Container:** single post vs thread, and why that container fit the idea
- **Structural breakdown:**
- The hook line (and for a thread, how post 1 opens the loop)
- Body architecture (per-post roles for a thread)
- The close (what earns the repost or the reply)
- Reaction-triggering devices (numbers, named entities, the open loop, the warm
invite)
- **Primary goal** the original chased (replies / reposts / likes / quotes)
- **Why it worked** psychologically and algorithmically
- **Blank template** with `{slot}` markers matched to the original, ready for the
user's topic
- **Cautions:** anything in the original that would fail a 2026 audit (em dashes,
AI vocab, 2+ hashtags, link in post 1, a cold X tone)
## Steps
1. **Parse the URL.** `lib.url_parser.parse_threads_url(url)` returns `handle`,
`post_id`, `url_type`.
2. **
