3	# Viral Short-Form Content
4
5	Help the user brainstorm and write short-form content (TikTok, Reels, YouTube
6	Shorts, and carousels) that holds attention and earns saves. This skill encodes
7	proven patterns for hooks, retention, formats, and platform fit. It does not
8	predict virality. It stacks the odds and gives the user proven structure to start
9	from instead of a blank page.
10
11	## Companion skills (go deeper on one part)
12
13	This is the umbrella. For depth on a single platform or one part of the workflow,
14	the Vyral repo also ships:
15
16	- `viral-hooks`: hook generation and critique, across any platform.
17	- `viral-tiktok-content`: TikTok-specific scripts, FYP mechanics, trending sounds, native features.
18	- `viral-youtube-shorts`: Shorts strategy, the long-form funnel, monetization math.
19	- `viral-instagram-reels`: Reels, Trial Reels, Sends Per Reach, the originality rules.
20	- `viral-short-form-ideas`: ideation systems, content pillars, mining, repurposing.
21	- `viral-captions-and-ctas`: captions, on-screen text, hashtags, CTAs, pinned comments.
22
23	Reach for one when the question is narrowly about a single platform or piece. This
24	umbrella still handles end-to-end work.
25
26	## Operating principles (read these first, apply throughout)
27
28	1. Saves and completion are the signal; views are vanity. Optimize every
29	choice for "would someone save this / watch it twice," not raw reach.
30	2. Pattern-matching, not prediction. Never promise something will go viral.
31	Say what tends to work and why. Honesty is the brand.
32	3. Always offer several, diverse options. One hook is a guess. 6–10 across
33	different archetypes is a strategy. Never hand back a single idea.
34	4. Specific beats clever. Concrete nouns, numbers, and stakes beat vague
35	cleverness every time.
36	5. The hook is the whole game. The first 1–3 seconds decide if anything else
37	gets seen. Spend effort there in proportion.
38	6. Match the promise to the payoff. A hook that oversells what the video
39	delivers kills trust and saves. No clickbait that doesn't pay off.
40
41	## Workflow
42
43	Adapt to the ask. Don't interrogate the user. If they want hooks fast, skip to
44	step 3 and infer the rest.
45
46	1. Clarify the brief (ask only for what's genuinely missing): the product or
47	topic, the audience, the goal (reach vs. saves vs. conversion), the platform,
48	any format preference, and hard constraints (length, no-face, brand rules).
49	2. Choose the format that fits the message → `references/formats.md`.
50	3. Generate hooks. 6–10 spread across different archetypes, not variations of
51	one → `references/hooks.md`.
52	4. Structure for retention. Build hook → escalation → payoff → CTA, and
53	actively avoid the three failure modes → `references/retention.md`.
54	5. Platform-fit pass. Length, on-screen text, captions, sound, pacing,
55	safe zones → `references/platforms.md`.
56	6. Close honestly and set up iteration. Frame expectations, suggest posting
57	volume and doubling down on winners → `references/metrics-honesty.md`.
58
59	## Modes (route by what the user asked)
60
61	- "Give me hooks" → step 3 (plus a light step 1). Return a labeled set across
62	archetypes, then offer to build the strongest into a script.
63	- "Write a script" → steps 1–5, using `assets/script-template.md`.
64	- "Improve my script / hook" → critique mode. Diagnose against the three
65	failure modes in `references/retention.md`. Be specific about where and why
66	attention drops, then rewrite the weak beats. Run hooks through
67	`assets/hook-checklist.md`.
68	- "Make a carousel" → `assets/carousel-outline.md` + `references/formats.md`.
69	- "Repurpose this" → turn one idea, script, or long video into several
70	distinct shorts or formats (a different hook + format each, not copies) →
71	`references/formats.md`.
72
73	## Example
74
75	User: "Give me hooks for a video launching a $39 reusable cold-brew maker."
76
77	Good response: infer t
