Generate, rank, and gate a reusable hook bank — sourced pains × named hook formula families, scored on clarity/specificity/curiosity/proof-backing, gated at the 10/16 ad threshold, delivered in 3 lengths with per-hook provenance and downstream routing. Use when "hook bank", "generate hooks", "hook generator", "write hooks for", "ad hooks", "scroll stoppers", "opening lines", "hook ideas", "first 3 seconds", "hook matrix", "I need 50 hooks", or any request to batch-produce attention-openers for…

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

Build a ranked, provenance-tagged hook bank: sourced pains × formula families → score → gate → route. Hooks matching a known loser pattern are rejected at birth.

**Scope boundaries:** this skill produces the hook bank only. `/kai-social` batches full social posts, `/kai-ad-campaign` builds full ad campaigns, `/kai-write` writes single finished pieces, `/kai-repurpose` fans a pillar into derivatives — they *consume* this bank. Concept-level portfolio strategy (Persona × Desire × Angle bench, budgets, kill rules) belongs to `knowledge/playbooks/combinatorial-creative-bench.md` via `/kai-ad-campaign`; this skill fills the `hook` field of those bench rows.

## Phase 0: Load Product Context

Check if `MARKETING.md` exists in the **project root** (same directory as CLAUDE.md, README.md, package.json).

**If it exists:** Read it — skip product discovery questions. It has the product name, ICP, value prop, monetization, brand voice, current channels, and competitive landscape.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add cgallic/kai-cmo-harness/kai-hook-bench@sha256:8e80b3a47829aaab

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260716.9632496, 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.
