hook-tactics

Reference library of 35+ hook and headline tactic types. Use this when a user asks for hooks organized by tactic, wants to know which tactic to use for a given situation, or requests hooks "by tactic type." This defines what each tactic is and when to deploy it. Always pair with hook-writing for execution — tactics define the frame, psychological triggers are the mechanism inside the frame.

# Hook Tactics

This module is a strategic reference library. It answers two questions:
1. **What is this tactic?** (definition + example)
2. **When should I use it?** (deployment guidance)

For *how to write* the hook once the tactic is selected, refer to **hook-writing**.

## How Tactics Relate to Psychological Triggers

Tactics and psychological triggers are not competing frameworks — they operate at different levels.
