Teach Hooksmith

Gather creator context, write HOOKS.md, and route future hook work to hooksmith.

Workflow

Explore existing notes, docs, examples, or content files if available.
Ask only for context that cannot be inferred.
Write HOOKS.md using the template in the hooksmith skill's Init Flow section (installed beside this skill at ../hooksmith/SKILL.md). Do not invent a different structure.
Tell the user to use hooksmith generate, hooksmith audit, hooksmith identity, or hooksmith rewrite.

Required Context

Capture:

creator name or handle, if provided
niche
target viewer
viewer pain and desire
proof allowed
voice style
formats
CTA style
forbidden claims
hooks they like, if available

If the user gives enough context in one message, do not over-interview. Write the file.

Questions

Ask these in a compact way when needed:

To set up Hooksmith properly, I need:

1. What niche are you making Reels for?
2. Who is the exact viewer?
3. What can you truthfully prove right now?
4. What should the hooks sound like?
5. What claims should Hooksmith never make?

Completion Message

After writing HOOKS.md, say:

Hooksmith is set up. Use `hooksmith generate` for new hook systems, `hooksmith audit` for weak openings, or `hooksmith identity` for viewer-first openings.
