linkedin-hook-generator

linkedin-hook-generator is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from TaplioOfficial/taplio-linkedin-claude-skills. It costs 100 tokens per session (1,193 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A writing aid that creates 10 possible opening lines for a LinkedIn post. It uses different approaches, such as a question, a surprising claim, a number, or a before-and-after contrast.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or replace the opening of a draft, or to generate alternative openings from a topic when no post has been written yet.
Why use it?
It helps when the first lines do not give people a reason to keep reading. The ranked options make it easier to compare different openings or test them against each other.

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

linkedin-hook-generator 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 84 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

LinkedIn Hook Generator

The first 2 lines decide whether the post gets read. This skill produces 10 of them.

When to trigger

The user says "give me hooks for X", "the opening of this post is weak", "I need a better first line", "rewrite the hook", "A/B test the opening".

Inputs to ask for

  1. The topic or angle of the post.
  2. The post body (if they have one). If not, work from the topic alone.
  3. The audience. Default to "professional LinkedIn audience".

The 7 hook patterns to rotate through

  1. Curiosity gap : "I just spent $X to learn one thing about Y."
  2. Contrarian : "Stop doing X. Here is why."
  3. Number tension : "9 out of 10 founders make this mistake."
  4. Personal stake : "I almost lost my company last month."
  5. Question : "Why do most LinkedIn posts get zero comments ?"
  6. Before / after : "2 years ago I had 200 followers. Today I have 50K. Here is what changed."
  7. Callout : "If you are a [persona] doing [action], read this."

Process

  1. Generate at least 1 hook per pattern (so 7 minimum).
  2. Add 3 more in the patterns that fit the topic best.
  3. For each hook, write 2 lines max (line 1 + line 2 if needed).
  4. Rank them from strongest to weakest based on : specificity, emotional pull, novelty, and how well they pair with the body.

Output format

TOP PICK
1. [hook line 1]
   [hook line 2]
   Pattern : [pattern name] | Why : [one-liner]

ALSO STRONG
2. ...
3. ...

OPTIONS
4. ...
...
10. ...

Rules

  • Be specific. "I made $87,400 last quarter" beats "I made some money".
  • Lead with the noun, not the verb when possible.
  • Avoid words that scream AI : "delve", "leverage", "unlock", "in today's fast-paced world".
  • Never put the keyword in line 1 if it sounds promotional.
  • A hook that needs context to make sense is a bad hook.

Requires the Taplio MCP

This skill requires the Taplio MCP and does not run without it. Before doing anything else, call get_me. If the call succeeds, continue. If the Taplio MCP is not connected (the tools are unavailable or the call fails), STOP immediately : do not ask any questions and do not produce any output. Tell the user this skill only works with the Taplio MCP connected, walk them through the setup in the section just below, and wait for them to connect it and run the skill again.

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.
