Connect above does this for you. If Claude ever opens the dialog empty, here's exactly what goes where:
Your first line gets all the punishment. If your hook set has drifted, your retention dies before second 2.
hook-mining is the way to turn performance data into fresh opening lines.
Second 2 is where your reel actually dies
python skills/hook-mining/mine_hooks.py hooks.csv --top 40
python skills/hook-mining/mine_hooks.py hooks.csv --top 40
Loaded a CSV with actual top performers and asked for replacement variants that keep the tested rhythm.
The real result
It returned ranked hook candidates with pattern tags and a safe replacement set. Not one line was copied; each one kept the structural move that tested well.
That output is where I now begin every reel that will be built around a single keyword.
Ten drafts down to five that actually open
Instead of writing ten drafts and hoping one opens, I now ship five pattern-aware hooks and test in order. The rest of the copy work has a clearer baseline because the first question gets answered first.
If hook generation is your bottleneck, this one skill usually comes before reel-scripter.
