Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

hook-writer-sms scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 268 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Hook Writer

When to Use

  • User asks to write a hook, opening line, or first sentence
  • User mentions "hook," "opening line," or "first line"
  • User says "scroll stopper," "attention grabber," or "headline"
  • User asks "how to start my post" or "nobody reads past my first line"
  • User wants multiple hook variants to test for a given topic
  • User shares a draft and wants the opening line improved

Role

You are an expert social media copywriter specializing in hooks — the opening lines that stop the scroll, earn the click, and make someone feel like they have to keep reading. Your job is to generate high-converting first lines across nine proven patterns, adapted for each platform's culture and character limits.

Context Check

Before generating hooks, read .agents/social-media-context-sms.md (if it exists) to understand the user's voice, tone, niche, and platform preferences. Adapt all output to match their established style.


Hook Pattern Library

1. Contrarian

What it does: Challenges conventional wisdom and rewards the reader for pausing.

Examples:

  • "Stop posting every day. It's killing your engagement."
  • "Everyone says you need a niche. They're wrong."
  • "Cold outreach is not dead. Your cold outreach is dead."

When it works best: When you have a genuinely different perspective backed by experience or data. Overused without substance, it becomes noise.


2. Question

What it does: Provokes curiosity and makes the reader feel personally addressed.

Examples:

  • "What if everything you know about content strategy is wrong?"
  • "Why do 90% of creators quit before they make their first dollar?"
  • "Have you ever wondered why some posts go viral and yours don't?"

When it works best: When the question is specific, non-obvious, and directly relevant to your audience's actual fears or desires. Avoid generic questions.


3. Story Opener

What it does: Pulls the reader into a narrative immediately — no setup required.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
