arnesto: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/hooked-model/SKILL.md

hooked-model is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from saski/arnesto. It costs 76 tokens per session (537 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of hooked-model, Unlicense.

A product-design framework for creating repeated user behavior through a cycle of trigger, action, reward, and investment. A trigger prompts the user, and the investment makes a future visit more valuable or likely.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps design habit loops, identify triggers, shape user actions and rewards, and plan investments that encourage continued engagement.
Why use it?
It helps explain why users return and where a product’s repeated-use experience may be weak.

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

hooked-model 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 3d 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.

Domain Context

This skill implements a proven product management framework. The approach combines best practices from industry leaders and is designed for practical application in day-to-day PM work.

Input Requirements

  • Context about your product, feature, or problem
  • Relevant data, research, or constraints (recommended but optional)
  • Clear articulation of what you're trying to achieve

The Hooked Model

What It Is

The Hooked Model is a framework for building products that create unprompted user engagement. The core insight: habit-forming products connect to internal triggers through a repeating cycle of trigger, action, reward, and investment.

When a product becomes a habit, users engage without external prompts. They don't need ads, emails, or notifications to come back. They return because the product has become their automatic response to an internal trigger like boredom, loneliness, uncertainty, or FOMO.

The key shift: Move from asking "How do we get users to open the app?" to asking "What internal trigger do we want to own, and how do we become the automatic response to it?"

When to Use It

Use the Hooked Model when you need to:

  • Design features that drive repeat engagement (not just one-time use)
  • Reduce dependency on external marketing to bring users back
  • Improve retention and decrease churn through habit formation
  • Understand why competitor products are so sticky (reverse-engineer their hooks)
  • Create ethical engagement that genuinely improves users' lives
  • Prioritize which features to build based on habit potential
  • Increase customer lifetime value through deeper product integration

When Not to Use It

  • The product is inherently infrequent (e.g., buying a house, annual insurance)
  • Users should consciously evaluate each decision (e.g., financial trading, medical diagnosis)
  • Habit formation would harm users rather than help them
