Hook library

Earn attention without misrepresenting the content that follows.

1. Identify audience, platform, topic, desired emotion, proof, and payoff.
2. Choose a mechanism: tension, specificity, contrast, consequence, curiosity, contrarian claim, story opening, or demonstrated result.
3. Generate meaningfully different angles, not minor wording variants.
4. Match hook length and rhythm to the channel.
5. Check that the body delivers the promised information.
6. Rank candidates for clarity, specificity, credibility, novelty, and audience fit.

Reject fabricated numbers, false urgency, impossible certainty, empty mystery, and bait-and-switch framing. Preserve the user’s voice instead of forcing one viral style.

Read detailed-guide.md for hook families, scoring, platform adaptations, and examples. Read templates.md only when a reusable fill-in structure is useful.
