CREATOR PROMPT VAULT · HOOKS · 04

The 10-Hook Sprint

What it does: Generate 10 scroll-stopping hooks under 12 words, ranked by stopping power. It's the AI prompt for writing viral hooks — free, copy-paste, and it works in Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini.

The prompt

[Paste CREATOR PROFILE]
Topic: [your video topic]
Write 10 hooks under 12 words each. Mix: 2 pain-mirror ("why you..."),
2 contrarian ("stop doing X"), 2 curiosity-gap, 2 specific-result with a
real number, 2 identity-callout ("if you're a [X], watch this").
No clickbait that the video can't pay off. Rank them by scroll-stopping power.

How to use it

Run prompt 01 (the Creator Profile) first and paste its output at the top of your session, then fill the [brackets] above and run this one. Works on the free tier of any major AI.

Why it works

Hooks are roughly 80% of a short-form video's result. Forcing five distinct hook types — then ranking them — beats asking for "a good hook" and getting one generic line.
