Attention Hijack Hooks
This companion skill turns Diandra Escobar's hook-format method into a universal hook and attention-anchor system. It extends the existing Diandra and Farrice content stacks without replacing them.
Use it when a piece of content needs:
- stronger hooks
- brand tracking or brandjack angle selection
- newsjack or trendjack angle selection
- namejack or expert-reference hooks
- rehooking a draft that has substance but weak top-of-post pull
- platform-agnostic adaptation for LinkedIn, X/Threads, newsletters, short scripts, ads, carousels, or landing-page sections
Source Grounding
Primary source package:

Do not claim visual or on-screen evidence from this video unless a later full-mode package adds frames or OCR rows.
Core Thesis
The hook is not a clever line. It is the first attention contract between a reader, a platform model, and a payload.
Attention anchors create recognition. Hook formats create above-fold packaging. The curiosity gap creates the click. Human judgment chooses what deserves to be amplified.
Available Workflows
| # | Workflow | Produces | Use When |
|---|
| 01 | Signal Anchor Scan | Ranked brand/news/name/trend/claim anchors with fit and risk notes | You need brand tracking, newsjacking, or hijackable signal ideas before drafting |
| 02 | Hookable Elements Extractor | Hookable elements from a draft, source, transcript, offer, or raw thought | You have source material but do not know what should go above the fold |
| 03 | Four-Format Hook Generator | Dense, Punchy plus Context, Single-Line Bomb, Stacked, and Hybrid hook candidates | You need usable hook options without generic hook formulas |
| 04 | Platform Fit Gate | Mobile/fold/readability audit with deterministic hook checks | A hook must survive LinkedIn or another platform's first-screen constraints |
| 05 | Content Bridge | Hook-to-content handoff for posts, scripts, newsletters, ads, carousels, or full content packs | A selected hook should become end-to-end content |

Stacking Guide
| Stack With | Role |
|---|
/diandra-content-engine | Use as end-to-end LinkedIn content production layer after hook selection |
/diandra-first-50 | Use after hook selection to check LinkedIn semantic signal |
/diandra-hook-architect | Use in tandem for deeper hook format variation |
/kallaway-trend-hook-engine | Use when trend/outlier research should precede hook generation |
/high-taste-writing-os | Use after hook selection when the draft still feels generic, flat, or AI-shaped |
/publishable-copy-gate | Use before public, revenue-facing, or client-facing publication |
Quality Gate
Reject or revise if:
- The output summarizes the attention anchor instead of extracting a point of view.
- The hook has a format but no curiosity gap.
- The hook is generic enough to fit any niche.
- The first 40 to 50 words lack topical signal for the target platform.
- The selected format ignores platform rendering, spacing, or first-screen constraints.
- The workflow claims a brand/news/person/trend fact without source evidence or an unavailable-state note.
- AI-generated options replace human judgment instead of giving the operator stronger starting points.
Execution Prompts (structure-pure v2)
5 deterministic practitioner prompts — each carries an Output Contract, Output Skeleton, and Quality Gate. When a deliverable matches one, Read it and honor its contract instead of improvising the output shape.
