Writes the spoken line plus visual frame combination for the first 3 seconds of a short-form video, delivering labeled variants built from six proven hook formulas and matched to TikTok, Reels, or Shorts. Use when someone says "write a hook for this video", "my Shorts die in the first seconds", "give me openers for this TikTok", or "how should this Reel start". Do NOT use for the first line of a written post, thread, or caption - use social-hook-generator instead; do NOT use to build the full…
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 Writer On short-form video, the first three seconds are the entire audition: the platform decides distribution from early retention, and the viewer decides everything from the first frame and first spoken words. This skill produces hook combinations - what the viewer hears plus what the viewer sees - that arrest the scroll and open a question the video must answer. The costly mistake it prevents is a strong video that never gets watched because seconds one through three were setup instead of signal. ## Operating procedure ### Step 1: gather inputs 1.

How to install
mdr add skillmedev/creator-studio/video-hook-writer@sha256:45b08365a4843324The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261005.21980fd, 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.
