Makes the first-second visual, the on-screen text and the spoken words say the same thing, using footage the creator already has. Use when a hook is written but the opening shot is a talking head, a logo or an unrelated frame, or when planning a video from its key visual.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
1 rule. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈1
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
0
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 53
If the idea is the problem (the visuals can't show what the words claim), say so.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Visual Match
Most people decide with their eyes before they hear a word, and many watch with the sound off. If the picture says "man on a sofa" and the words say "this garden took one weekend", the picture wins and they swipe.
Three channels, one message
| Channel | Job | Common miss |
| Visual (0 to 1 s) | Show the subject, ideally the most surprising or wanted frame | Talking head at a desk, logo, black screen, slow walk in |
| On-screen text | Make the topic clear with sound off, 3 to 7 words, adds to the speech | Repeats the speech word for word, or a vague label ("Tips!!") |
| Spoken | The hook line | Starts with a greeting or a name |
They must point at the same subject. If they don't, change the cheapest one.
Step 1: Find the key frame
List what the footage already shows. Pick the frame that best proves or teases the payoff: the result, the before and after, the moment something changes, the strange object. Usually it sits in the middle or end of the video. Move it, or a 1-second flash of it, to second zero. Prefer a frame where something moves (a hand, an object, a change) over a still one.
Step 2: Pick a visual hook type
| Type | Example |
| Text overlay that sets the question | "Why this cake sank" over the sunken cake |
| A change of shot in the first second | Cut from the face to the finished room |
| Subject movement | A hand drops a cracked tile, a door swings open |
| Effect or transition | A split screen of before and after |
| An arresting shot | A frame so unusual it needs explaining |
Step 3: Write the text
- 3 to 7 words. Readable in a second. Sits clear of the platform's buttons and captions (keep it in the upper middle on vertical video).
- Adds to the spoken line: the words name the problem, the text names the twist, or the reverse.
Step 4: Check the match
Play it in your head with the sound off. Does a stranger know the topic? Play it with the eyes closed. Do they still know? Both should be yes.
Output
Key frame: [what, and where it is in the footage now]
First shot (0 to 1 s): [shot]
On-screen text: "[words]"
Spoken: "[words]"
Edit: [move / cut / reshoot, exactly]If the idea is the problem (the visuals can't show what the words claim), say so. Drop or reshape the hook rather than promise what the picture can't prove.

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
