Generate scroll-stopping hooks — the first line of a post, thread, video, or email that decides whether anyone keeps reading. Use when asked to write a hook, an opener, a first line, a thread starter, a video cold-open, or to make something more clickable. Produces multiple distinct hook options across proven angles (curiosity, contrarian, result, story, stakes), each labelled with why it works and which platform it fits.

# Hook Writer Skill

The hook is 80% of the result. A brilliant post with a flat first line dies; a mediocre post with a great hook travels. This skill writes hooks the way top creators do — multiple angles, each engineered to stop the scroll — so you can pick the one that fits.

## Working from a brief

Given just a topic or a finished piece, **generate the hooks anyway**. Infer the audience and the payoff, and never return a single safe option — the value is in the *range*. Mark any invented number *(assumed — use a real one)* because specific numbers are part of what makes hooks land.

## Required Inputs

Ask for (if not already provided):
- **The topic / the content** the hook is for
- **Platform & format** (X, LinkedIn, YouTube title, Reel cold-open, email subject)
- **Audience** and the **payoff** (what they get if they keep reading)
