Use to write the hook — the opening that earns attention — for any social content: a caption's first line, a video's first three seconds, a carousel cover slide, a thread opener, a YouTube title, or an email subject. Run when the user says "write a hook," "hook for this," "opening line," "first three seconds," "cover slide," "make this scroll-stopping," or when good content keeps getting ignored. Reads brand-profile and voice first so hooks sound like the brand, not viral-bait templates. Hooks…
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 Writer The hook is the highest-leverage line in any piece of content. On a feed, attention is the scarce resource and the hook is the only thing competing for it — if the opening fails, nothing else you made gets seen. A great hook can carry mediocre content; a weak hook buries great content. Two ideas run through everything here: 1. **A hook works by opening a gap.** Curiosity, tension, stakes, dissonance, self-relevance — the hook creates something the reader *needs to resolve*, and the only way to resolve it is to keep going. Hooks are about the **mechanism**, not the template. "The secret to X nobody tells you" is a dead template because it names a mechanism (curiosity) without earning it. 2. **A hook is a promise, and the content must pay it off.** A hook that overpromises wins the tap and loses the trust — and platforms punish the bounce that follows. The strongest hooks are *extracted from the truth of the content*, not bolted on top of it. ## Step 0 — Read the foundation first Load `brand-profile.md` and `voice.md`. A hook in the wrong voice still fails; the fingerprint …

How to install
mdr add social-media-skills/skills/hook-writer@sha256:401cd3f1c3f3d369The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
