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-x-hooks-v2 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 9d 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 — 215 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Viral X Hooks

Most hooks fail because writers reach for what feels clever instead of what actually stops the scroll. The result: "Let me tell you about..." openers, rhetorical questions that answer themselves, and polished corporate buildup that screams AI.

The hooks that actually break through are built from patterns — specific structural moves used by creators who hit 100k+ views consistently. This skill pulls from a library of 140+ of those patterns, matches them to the content at hand, and produces 3-5 variations so the user can pick.

The hook has one job: stop the scroll in under 2 seconds and earn the "show more" click. Never sacrifice the body of the post for a flashy hook.


the core job

Turn a topic, angle, or rough draft into 3-5 hook options, each using a different proven pattern from the swipefile. Each hook comes with the pattern name and a one-line note on when that pattern works best.

Output format: 3-5 hook variations, each labeled with the pattern used and a brief "use this if..." note. Includes a recommendation for the strongest option.


before starting: gather context

STOP. Do not write any hooks until every field below is confirmed with the user. Ask for any missing field before proceeding. Even if the user pasted a draft or topic, still confirm these inputs.

  1. Topic / source material — What's the post about? Paste the topic, the draft, the argument, or a URL. (Required — without this there's nothing to hook.)
  2. The angle — What's the specific take or argument? Not "AI" — "why most AI SDRs will fail in 2026". (Required — generic angles get generic hooks.)
  3. Audience — Who's this for? Founders? Marketers? Designers? (Shapes which patterns hit.)
  4. Content type — How-to, critique, case study, data breakdown, prediction, cultural commentary, or something else? (Maps to pattern families — see step 2.)
  5. Emotional goal — What should the reader feel in 2 seconds? Shock, intrigue, FOMO, discovery, authority envy, validation? (Narrows to 2-3 pattern families.)

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.
