Curiosity Hook Brainstormer
Curiosity hooks work by creating an information gap: you show viewers there’s something worth knowing, but withhold the answer so they keep watching to close the gap. This skill learns your video’s payoff, audience, surprising insight, length, and visuals, then brainstorms curiosity hooks using different mechanisms rather than just rewording the same hook. It also suggests re-hooks you can use later in the video to reopen curiosity gaps and keep viewers watching after their initial curiosity starts to fade.

Chat or Code?
Claude comes in two flavours (Claude Chat or Claude Code)
Claude Chat
This is the normal Claude Chat interface you already use. A Claude Chat skill is just a conversation. You ask for something, Claude answers in the chat using the skill for guidance. Nothing is installed on your computer and Claude never touches your files.
Claude Code
Claude Code is a version of Claude that runs on your computer and can create and change actual files. Some skills need this ability to work properly.
Short version: if the skill just needs to think, write or plan, it is a Claude Chat skill. If it needs to create or modify files on your machine, it is a Claude Code skill.
How to install this skill
- Download the file above.
- In Claude, open Settings → Capabilities → Skills and choose Upload skill.
- Pick the file, make sure the toggle is on, and start a new chat.
