# X Post Hook Generator

Generate strong opening lines for an X post while avoiding clickbait and unsupported claims.

## Prompt

Generate opening hooks for an X post about {{topic}}.

CORE POINT:
{{core_point}}

AUDIENCE:
{{audience}}

Create 20 hooks across five approaches:
- direct value;
- counterintuitive observation;
- concise story setup;
- credible specificity;
- thoughtful question.

Constraints:
- Each hook must be no more than 220 characters.
- It must make sense without hidden context.
- Do not invent numbers, authority, results, or urgency.
- Avoid “you won’t believe,” “the secret,” “game changer,” and generic motivational language.
- Match this voice: {{voice}}.
- Make at least five hooks suitable for a calm professional account rather than a creator persona.

Rank the best five. For each ranked hook, explain in one sentence what expectation it creates and suggest the next sentence. Finish by flagging any hook that would require evidence before publication.

## How to use

Use a clear core point rather than a broad topic. Select a hook whose promise the rest of the post actually fulfills.

## Examples

Example input: topic “code review,” core point “small pull requests produce better feedback,” audience “engineering leads.”

Expected output: 20 varied hooks, a ranked shortlist, next-sentence suggestions, and evidence flags.

## Variables

- topic: The subject of the post.
- core_point: The exact idea the post will deliver.
- audience: Who should care about the point.
- voice: The account voice.
