# Short Form Hook Generator

This skill extracts and refines "scroll-stopping" moments for short-form video content.

## Input Variables
- [AD_CAMPAIGN_DOSSIER] (from pre-launch-ads)
- [MDS] (Messaging Direction Summary)

## The Protocol
1.  **Soundbyte Extraction**: Identify punchy sentences from the Ad Copy that are under 5 seconds when spoken.
2.  **Visual Pairing**: For each hook, describe the visual action that happens immediately (the "Pattern Interrupt").
3.  **Hook Categories**: Generate hooks in these buckets:
    - **Negative/Warning**: "Stop doing this..."
    - **Curiosity/Secret**: "The #1 reason..."
    - **Outcome/Benefit**: "How I got [Result] in [Time]..."
    - **Visual Oddity**: (Describing a weird visual) "What is this thing?"
4.  **Scripting**: Write the first 15 seconds of the script.

## Output Instructions
Render into `templates/viral-hooks.md`.
