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 must be TRUE to the content that follows — this skill extracts the hook from the post's strongest element and never overpromises. For full captions use caption-writer; for full video scripts use the video skills. This writes the opening itself.
