Generate attention-grabbing hooks for the first 3 seconds of videos. The hook determines if viewers stay or scroll. Creates multiple hook variations for A/B testing. Use when crafting video openings, improving retention, or creating scroll-stopping content for YouTube, TikTok, or Reels.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Video Hook Generator Create irresistible opening hooks that stop the scroll and maximize retention. ## Why Hooks Matter ``` 📊 RETENTION DATA: - 20% of viewers leave in first 3 seconds - 33% leave by 30 seconds - A strong hook can improve retention by 50%+ The first 3 seconds = Life or death for your video ``` ## Hook Formulas (Proven Patterns) ### 1. Curiosity Gap ``` "The [thing] that [surprising claim]..." "What [expert/celebrity] doesn't want you to know about..." "I discovered something about [topic] that changes everything..." "There's a reason why [common belief] is completely wrong..." ``` ### 2. Bold Claim / Controversial Take ``` "[Common advice] is actually making things worse..." "Stop [doing X] immediately. Here's why..." "Everything you know about [topic] is wrong..." "This is the [worst/best] advice I've ever heard..." ``` ### 3. Result/Transformation Preview ``` "This is how I [achieved result] in [timeframe]..." "Before vs After: What [X days/weeks] of [thing] looks like..." "I went from [bad state] to [good state] by doing this one thing..." "Watch what happens when I [do thing]..." ``` ### 4. Pattern Interrupt ``` "Wait, don't scroll yet..." …

How to install
mdr add nicepkg/ai-workflow/video-hook-generator@sha256:2ef9f51a38cc26d0The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260118.be84779, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
