Create and review attention-winning hooks, matching stories, and credible conversion paths using Brendan Kane's public Hook Point method. Use for short videos, posts, ads, headlines, email openings, and pitches, with variants and a practical test plan.
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
# Hook Point: Stop, Story, Conversion Based on Brendan Kane's public method. Not affiliated with or endorsed by Brendan Kane. ## When to use Use this skill when a message contains useful substance but its opening fails to earn attention, when a team needs several original hook directions, or when attention is not producing the intended business action. Apply it to social videos, posts, ads, headlines, email subject lines and opening sentences, or spoken pitches. Start from the audience's experience and the actual value available, rather than polishing a slogan in isolation. The working sequence is stop the scroll, sustain attention with a relevant story, and earn a credible next action. Kane's public interviews describe attention, story, and authenticity or credibility as interdependent pillars. Conversion is the business outcome supported by those pillars, not a replacement for credibility. Three seconds is an opening design target; it does not require every story to last three seconds or establish a universal attention-span fact. …

How to install
mdr add getedgehq/skills/kane-hook-point@sha256:de703bbe1baff232The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261002.d5668a9, 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.
