# Hooks Generator

Generate first-line options that earn the next line.

## Patterns to mix
- Specific result + time
- Open loop (missing piece)
- Contrarian but defensible
- Scene in progress
- Cost of the status quo
- "Most people do X. That fails because Y."

## Process
1. Extract the core promise and the audience.
2. Produce 12 hooks across patterns. Label the pattern.
3. Mark the strongest 3 and why.
4. Add a second line for each of the top 3 so the hook has somewhere to land.

## Rules
- No clickbait the body cannot pay off.
- No fake numbers.
- Specific beats vague.
- For threads: hook must work as a standalone first tweet.
