viral-hook-creator is a skill for Claude Code from nataliacorrea03/claude-code-skills. It costs 92 tokens per session (1,423 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A writing aid for creating or reviewing short opening lines, called hooks, for social-media posts. It uses a library of hook patterns and trigger words, and supports X, LinkedIn, Instagram, and TikTok.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to draft three to five hooks for a topic, or to score and strengthen hooks you already wrote.

It gives you several draft openings or explains why a pasted hook is weak, then suggests rewrites. It does not send or publish posts.

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

viral-hook-creator 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.

Viral Hook Creator

Purpose

Two modes over the same knowledge base:

  • GENERATE: produce 3-5 strong hook options for a topic.
  • GRADE: score a hook the user pastes, explain why it works or doesn't, and hand back stronger rewrites.

Hooks are optimized for short-form platforms (X/Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok). Never auto-send or auto-publish. Output is a draft.


Step 0: Determine Mode

  • If the user pasted a hook (or a few) and is asking whether it's good / to score / strengthen / rewrite it → GRADE mode.
  • Otherwise → GENERATE mode.
  • If $ARGUMENTS is empty and no hook was pasted, respond "viral-hook-creator loaded, proceed with additional instructions" and wait.

Step 1: Load the Library FIRST (both modes)

BLOCKING REQUIREMENT: do this before generating or grading anything.

Read the bundled reference files. These ship with the skill and always work offline:

  • ./references/hook-patterns.md: 19 proven hook patterns with psychology and a selection matrix
  • ./references/trigger_words.md: four categories of viral trigger words (Insider, Helper, Thinker, Amplifier)

Optional richer source: if you keep a fuller hooks library as a Notion page (structures, swipe file, interest piques, performance data), set its page ID here and fetch it as the primary source, falling back to the bundled files if the fetch fails:

  • Notion page ID: 390f3b91-c73d-81a8-99d6-d77e7f63753e

Swap that ID for your own page, or delete this block to run purely off the bundled files. Do not proceed until the library is loaded.


GENERATE Mode

1. Analyze input

Extract: topic/theme, target platform, goal (awareness, education, engagement, conversion), audience, available social proof. For anything missing, use Defaults & Assumptions.

If FOUNDER_CONTEXT.md exists in the project root, read it and personalize with that business context.

2. Select and draft

  1. Pick patterns using the selection matrix (match goal + platform). Each of the 3-5 hooks uses a DIFFERENT pattern.
  2. Draft each hook from the pattern template, adapted to the user's topic.
  3. Integrate 1-2 trigger words per hook, matched to the pattern.
  4. If the goal is conversion or a full video, also name the structure each hook would open (if your library has structures).

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.

Changes

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.
