TikTok 3-Second Hook Generator

The first 3 seconds decide whether your TikTok gets watched or skipped. This skill turns any topic into 5 ready-to-shoot opening hooks — each built on a different psychological pattern.

✨ What it does

Give it a topic, and you get 5 distinct hooks across 5 angles:

1. Shock / Contradiction — opens by violating expectation
2. Question — asks something the viewer must know the answer to
3. Numbered List — promises a specific count of value
4. Story — starts mid-action, mid-tension
5. Visual Demonstration — describes the opening shot, not just the words

Each hook comes with:

• ✅ A spoken line (≤15 words — fits 3 seconds)
• ✅ A one-line visual cue for the opening shot
• ✅ A "why it works" rationale (the psychology behind it)

👥 Who it's for

• Solo creators shipping daily TikToks
• Brand and social teams testing hook variants
• Short-video editors who need strong openings fast
• Anyone whose videos lose viewers in the first second

🎬 Example

Input: "Topic: minimalist skincare for sensitive skin. Audience: tired moms."

Output (1 of 5):

🎬 HOOK — Question
"Why is your skin worse now than it was at 25?"
Visual: tight close-up on tired eyes, slow blink, no makeup.
Why it works: names a real worry without medical-claiming, forces a self-diagnosis loop.

Each run gives you 5 like this, across 5 different angles.

🛠 How to use

Provide:

1. Topic or niche (e.g. "freelance design tips")
2. Target viewer (optional)
3. Format (optional: talking-head / b-roll / text-only)

You get back 5 hooks, each with spoken line + visual + rationale.

🔒 Honest note

These are creative starting points designed for the FYP pattern — you pick the one that fits and adapt it. No tool can guarantee a video goes viral; this gives you stronger openings to test.
