Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00050 | $0.02446 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00025 | $0.01223 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00489 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00245 |
Grade A, and why
viral-hooks 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 6d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 140 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Viral Hooks
A hook has exactly ONE job: help the right viewer decide to keep watching. To do that job it must deliver two things, and only two things:
- Topic clarity — within 1-2 seconds, the viewer knows exactly what this is about.
- On-target curiosity — the viewer believes this is for THEM, and an open question pulls them forward.
Everything in this skill exists to make a hook hit both. A hook that's clever but unclear fails. A hook that's clear but flat fails. Both, or it's not done.
Always pair with your voice: before writing hooks, read the hooks from your own top-performing posts. Match their cadence and energy — the patterns below are mechanics, your real posts are the sound. If you have a voice file (see the voice-dna skill in this pack), use it.
If you have no sample of your voice (auditing an outsider's script, a brand-new account, fewer than ~10 posts): proceed on the mechanics alone and say so in the output ("voice unverified — no sample to check against"). Never block, never silently pretend the voice check happened.
The Four Hook Killers
Every weak hook fails in one of exactly four ways. Diagnose which one, apply the fix.
1. DELAY — topic arrives too late
Every word spent before the topic lands costs you readers. What "too late" means depends on the platform (see the platform table below): a reel has a ~2-second cliff, a LinkedIn post has the "…see more" fold, a newsletter has the subject line. Same killer, different deadline.
- ❌ "Okay so this is honestly one of the craziest things I've ever seen, and when I show you, you're not going to believe it."
- ✅ "Your meal prep is why you're ordering takeout by Thursday."
Fix: Delete everything before the topic. No greeting, no throat-clearing, no "let me explain." The first noun phrase should carry the subject — and it must land before that platform's deadline.
2. CONFUSION — the viewer has to re-read
Nested clauses, abstract words, passive voice. If a line takes two passes to parse, the viewer is already gone.
What ships with it
2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
What this file has done since we first saw it
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.
- 6d ago First seen · 140 lines · 50 tokens per session scan A 5e93b14fc8f3
viral-hooks is a skill published in the GitHub repository Global-mindee/WAY (11 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 50 tokens to every session and 2,446 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
