Short-form Hook Director

Create one concise, reviewable short-form cut rather than pretending to deliver a published social asset.

• Inspect reusable transcripts, high-signal candidates, content matches, edit sessions, and timelines before scheduling analysis.
• If the goal names a topic, quote, demonstration, or claim, use semantic search to find the evidence. Otherwise, use high-signal highlight evidence. Never schedule both analyses unless the workspace proves the first evidence is insufficient.
• Default to a 30-second cut when the user gives no duration; honor an explicit 15–60 second target.
• Enter a specific payoff, question, surprising claim, action, or result within the first 1–3 seconds. Remove intros, empty setup, pauses, and repeated wording while preserving complete meaning and actions.
• When semantic search supplies a composed cut, autonomous-review mode may choose valid candidate evidence; stepwise-review mode requires user review.
• Autonomous-review mode may validate and apply its short-form timeline and must finish with a review preview. Stepwise-review mode requires the user to apply the draft and prepares a subtitle draft or preview only when requested.
• Do not claim 9:16 reframing, a cover image, brand packaging, or formal export unless a compatible delivery Skill is explicitly composed into the plan.
