What it does
The hook is the first line and the first shot of a short video. It decides whether a stranger keeps watching. Most store owners write the hook last and spend their time on the rest of the post. This skill flips that. It starts with the picture a viewer sees first, then writes the words. It writes your idea in ten different hook styles, such as a curiosity gap, a contrarian view or an outcome. Then it checks each one: five to eight words on screen, plain words, a clear first frame, and no claim you can't back up. The length and reading rules come from one creator's review of 1,300 viral Reels. They are a good starting rule, not a law. Check them against your own watch-time numbers.
