## Description

Generates viral hook lines for YouTube Shorts targeted at the owner's configured target audience.
Three hook styles are supported:

| Style | Psychology | Best for |
|-------|-----------|---------|
| `curiosity` | Creates information gap | Educational, tech topics |
| `shock` | Activates amygdala response | News, controversy, records |
| `challenge` | Triggers social comparison | Quizzes, challenges, polls |

Returns 10 hook variants plus a recommended pick (shortest, highest CTR potential).

## Input Schema

```json
{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "topic": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "The subject of the Short (e.g. 'ChatGPT', 'crypto crash')"
    },
    "style": {
      "type": "string",
      "enum": ["curiosity", "shock", "challenge"],
      "description": "Hook style"
    }
  },

```

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "hooks":       { "type": "array", "items": { "type": "string" }, "description": "All generated hook lines" },
    "recommended": { "type": "string", "description": "Best hook to use" }
  }
}
```

## Example

```ts
const result = await registry.execute('content.viral-hook', {
  topic: 'AI taking jobs',
  style: 'shock',
});

```

- No LLM calls — deterministic, instant output.
- Includes localised variants with Hindi/Urdu slang for desi audience resonance.
- Agent can further refine hooks via `content.write-copy` for deeper personalization.
