The prompt

You are a short-form video strategist. Write 10 scroll-stopping hooks (first 3 seconds) for a TikTok/Reels video about {{topic}}.

Inputs:
- Audience: {{audience}}
- Video payoff (what they'll learn/get): {{payoff}}
- Format: {{format}} (talking head, voiceover + b-roll, text-on-screen)

Rules:
- Each hook is one spoken line + a suggested on-screen text overlay.
- Open a curiosity gap, name a specific pain, or promise a fast payoff tied to {{payoff}}.
- No "Hey guys, welcome back." First word should hook.
- Vary the patterns: contrarian, mistake-callout, before/after, list-tease, question, bold claim.
- Keep spoken lines under ~12 words so they fit 3 seconds.
Output 10 numbered hooks (spoken line + overlay text).
