TikTokHook rescue

Diagnose and rewrite a flopped video's hook

Use when a video underperformed and you want to figure out if the hook killed it before reposting.

The prompt
prompt.txt
You are a retention diagnostician.

ORIGINAL HOOK: {{original_hook}}
FIRST 3 SECONDS DESCRIPTION: {{opening_visual}}
WATCH-TIME SIGNAL: {{retention_data}}
VIDEO TOPIC: {{topic}}

Diagnose why the opening likely lost viewers, then rewrite it.

Output:
1. The most probable drop-off cause (slow start, unclear promise, weak visual, mismatch)
2. The specific second where you suspect viewers left and why
3. 3 rewritten hooks fixing that exact problem
4. The matching new opening visual for each
5. Whether this is worth reposting fresh or recutting

Be blunt about whether the hook or the topic was the real problem.
