# Build a Six-Pattern Hook Generator Skill

## Action

Build a Hook Generator [[concept-claude-skills]] that hardcodes the [[framework-six-hook-patterns]] as required output categories.

## Skill design

Follow [[framework-skill-anatomy]]:

### Frontmatter
- Description should trigger on phrases like *"give me hooks," "opening lines," "cold open," "video opener," "first line."*

### Instructions
- For any input topic or script, generate **one hook per pattern** (six total):
  1. Contrarian
  2. Curiosity Gap
  3. Pattern Interrupt
  4. Identity Callout
  5. Stat Shock
  6. Before / After
- Label each clearly so the user can pick.
- Negative constraints: no generic openers, no cliché motivational phrasing.

### Examples
- Show one ideal six-pack of hooks for a past topic.

## Outcome

Hook writing becomes a **selection task** rather than a creative gamble: every fire of the Skill returns a diverse menu of psychologically distinct openers.
