Finds and assembles a reviewable short-form cut with a strong opening hook. Use for Shorts, Reels, social clips, talking-head cutdowns, or requests for a punchier opening.

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

# Short-form Hook Director

Create one concise, reviewable short-form cut rather than pretending to deliver a published social asset.

- Inspect reusable transcripts, high-signal candidates, content matches, edit sessions, and timelines before scheduling analysis.
- If the goal names a topic, quote, demonstration, or claim, use semantic search to find the evidence. Otherwise, use high-signal highlight evidence. Never schedule both analyses unless the workspace proves the first evidence is insufficient.
- Default to a 30-second cut when the user gives no duration; honor an explicit 15–60 second target.
- Enter a specific payoff, question, surprising claim, action, or result within the first 1–3 seconds. Remove intros, empty setup, pauses, and repeated wording while preserving complete meaning and actions.
- When semantic search supplies a composed cut, autonomous-review mode may choose valid candidate evidence; stepwise-review mode requires user review.
- Autonomous-review mode may validate and apply its short-form timeline and must finish with a review preview. Stepwise-review mode requires the user to apply the draft and prepares a subtitle draft or preview only when requested.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add gml-mmgroup/cliptalk/cliptalk-shortform-hook-director@sha256:d5f118c47d22d53e

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.2.0, 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.
