Short Video Hook Plan Generator

Problem

Short-video planning often stalls when a creator has only a topic, such as AI or career skills, but no script that can hold attention, build urgency, and lead to action. This skill turns common hook-writing heuristics into a structured workflow, so a broad theme can be expanded into a practical shooting plan.

How It Works And Where It Fits

It generates a four-layer hook structure:
- Opening contrast hook: uses an information gap and cognitive conflict to catch the first 3 seconds.
- Progress evidence hook: uses a concrete case or technical milestone to make the change feel real and immediate.
- Stakes hook: ties the macro shift to personal concerns such as income, education, or health.
- Solution hook: provides a 2-3 step action frame and adds a follow-up hook for traffic retention.

The output can include assumed audience, core message, platform, per-layer hook type, content design, logic, suggested lines, pacing for a 60-second video, retention checkpoints, title and cover directions, plus one or two variants. When the input is vague, it narrows the angle first instead of forcing a generic template. It is best for persuasive, hook-heavy short-video scripts. It may be less suitable for documentary-style, low-drama, or purely natural spoken content; for lighter educational topics, swap anxiety hooks for curiosity or empathy hooks so fear does not become the end goal.
