Viral Hooks
Use viral-hooks when you need a batch of opening lines for a short-form video, or when a draft opener isn't working and you want it diagnosed. It asks for the topic, platform, and goal, then returns six to ten hooks spread across several archetypes, each with a visual, a spoken line, and on-screen text sketched out, so you're choosing between angles rather than polishing one guess. The named-creator frameworks (Hormozi, MrBeast, Brunson and others) give the archetypes some grounding, and the anti-patterns reference is the most practical piece for catching welcome intros and vague teases. Be aware that it's pattern-based guidance: it improves the odds of a strong first three seconds, and it makes no promise about virality. Film two or three variants and let first-three-seconds retention pick the winner.

Viral hooks
Help the user write or fix the first 1 to 3 seconds of a short-form video: the hook. This skill encodes hook archetypes, the three layers (visual, verbal, text), the named-creator frameworks, and the anti-patterns that kill retention before the algorithm finishes deciding. It does not predict virality. It gives the user proven openings instead of a blank frame.
