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

ig-hook 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 196 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

IG Hook Generator -- First 3 Seconds That Stop the Scroll

Generates, scores, and presents Instagram hook variants optimized for the target audience defined in references/account-baseline.md. Every hook is designed to maximize watch time by winning the first 3 seconds.

Load account context (niche, audience, voice) from references/account-baseline.md. If not configured, ask the user about their niche, audience, and voice.

Key references:

  • references/hook-library.md -- 50+ templates, 5 categories, compound hook rules
  • references/scoring-system.md -- Hook Strength sub-criteria (25pts)
  • references/format-specs.md -- First 3 seconds requirements per format

Workflow

Phase 1: Context Gathering

Collect the following from the user (ask once if missing):

  1. Topic -- What is the Reel/Carousel/Story about?
    • Example: "Intervallfasten Fehler", "Proteinbedarf ab 40", "Bauchfett loswerden"
  2. Format type -- Reel, Carousel, or Story?
    • Default: Reel (if not specified)
  3. Content angle -- What is the core insight, myth, or transformation?
    • Example: "Die meisten essen ZU WENIG Protein", "Bauchfett hat nichts mit Sit-Ups zu tun"

If the user provides all three in one message, skip asking and proceed directly.

Phase 2: Category Selection

Select hook categories from the 5 available types. Load references/hook-library.md for templates and examples within each category.

# Category Mechanism When to use
1 Correction "Du machst X falsch" / "Das stimmt nicht" Myth-busting, common mistakes, misconceptions
2 Identity Trigger "Frauen ab 40, die..." / "Wenn du zu denen gehorst, die..." Audience self-selection, personal relevance
3 Bold Claim "X ist der grosste Fehler" / "Vergiss alles, was du uber Y weisst" Strong takes backed by science, pattern interrupts
4 Curiosity Gap "Was passiert, wenn du X machst..." / "Das hat niemand auf dem Schirm" Unexpected facts, counterintuitive insights
5 Relatable Pain "Kennst du das..." / "Wenn du abends vor dem Kuhlschrank stehst..." Shared struggles, emotional connection, daily situations

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.
