hook-skills

Design and critique visual hooks for TikTok, Reels, Shorts, slideshows, and AI-generated media workflows. Use when the first frame, first slide, or first 1-3 seconds need a stronger reason for the viewer to keep watching.

Review storyboard prompts and short-form video request drafts before generation. Use when a prompt already exists and the goal is to catch weak openings, drift risk, bad product timing, or missing constraints before spending credits.

Structure a rough short-form opening into a reusable Hook Brief with explicit mechanism choice, product reveal timing, and downstream handoff guidance. Use when a hook idea is fuzzy, generic, or too product-first.

Route short-form video prompt work into the right opening pattern before writing prompts or storyboards. Use when a user has a hook brief, a segment type, duration constraints, or references, and the first question is which opening route to choose.

Decode benchmark videos, contact sheets, frames, or rough ideas into reusable opening structure. Use when a reference exists and the goal is to extract hook essence, viewer question, visual grammar, and drift boundaries before prompt writing.
