Makes the first 5-15 seconds of a product video, the part that stops the scroll: either finds a hook that already went viral for this kind of product (TikTok Creative Center, ad spy tools, Reels search) and remakes the idea, or generates a realistic UGC-style clip of the product in use with Seedance 2.5 on varg from the product's own photos (a backyard-camera fail, a torture test, problem then solution, a satisfying close-up, a gift reaction), or the whole "The problem → Vs → The solution…
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
# Product hook
The hook is the first 5-15 seconds of a product reel: real-looking footage of the product doing the one thing that makes people stop. In the dropshipping reels this skill was built from (@tradelle, Sept-Oct 2026), the hook carried the video: a snake biting a leg gaiter, a worker getting sand and grinder sparks thrown at his face mask, a cat's claw lit up by an LED clipper. The voiceover over the hook is a plain product line ("These are the leg guards I wear when I'm outdoors"). Two more reels (a cat runner, drink-test nail stickers) show the other use: the hook stretched into the whole 15-22 s ad, "The problem → Vs → The solution", set to music with no voice (section 3).
Generation runs on varg: the `varg-ai` skill (REST at `https://api.varg.ai/v2`) or the varg MCP server (`https://mcp.varg.ai/mcp`, tools `call_tool` + `get_job`). Every call returns a job; poll `GET /v2/jobs/{id}` until `completed`, the file is at `output.outputs[0].url`.

How to install
mdr add varghq/skills/varg-product-hook@sha256:9b5691e450f2b280The 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.
