| 10 | AngleCraft is an AI skill that transforms dry expert topics into high-engagement content by applying 7+2 journalistic angle types. Give it a topic - it returns hooks people actually click. |

| 13 | |
| 14 | ## The Problem |
| 15 | |
| 16 | Most experts produce useful but dull content. They tell you *what* - but not *how* to make it interesting. The difference between 200 views and 200,000 is rarely the topic. It's the **angle**: the perspective from which you enter the topic. |
| 17 | |
| 18 | ## The Solution |
| 19 | |
| 20 | AngleCraft systematizes angle selection. Think of a topic as a building. You can photograph it from the main facade - or from the rooftop, reflected in a puddle, from a helicopter. Same building, completely different photographs. Same topic, completely different content experiences. |

| 24 | ## The 7+2 Angle Taxonomy |
| 25 | |
| 26 | ### Main Angles |
| 27 | |
| 28 | | # | Angle | Pattern | Best For | |
| 29 | |---|-------|---------|----------| |
| 30 | | 1 | **Myth vs Reality** | "Everyone says X. In reality, Y works." | Virality, debate, challenging dogma | |
| 31 | | 2 | **Paradox** | "The more X, the worse Y." | Cognitive hooks, pattern violation | |
| 32 | | 3 | **Level Error** | "You think the problem is X. The real cause is Y." | Reframing, intellectual depth | |
| 33 | | 4 | **Price of Solution** | "Yes, X works. But here's what you're really paying." | Trust, credibility, objection handling | |
| 34 | | 5 | **Conditions** | "If A → do X. If B → do Y." | Self-identification, lead screening | |
| 35 | | 6 | **Hidden Driver** | "The real reason X happens is Y - and you'd never guess it." | Insider insight, "aha!" moments | |
| 36 | | 7 | **Contrary Thesis** | "Don't do X. Do the opposite. Here's why." | Debate, algorithmic fuel, contrarian trust | |
| 37 | |
| 38 | ### Foundation Angles (Use Anytime) |
| 39 | |
| 40 | - **Historical Lens** - How was it in the past? |
| 41 | - **Future Lens** - Where is it going in 5–10 years? |
| 42 | - **News Hook / Story Bridge** - Fascinating fact → bridge to your topic |
