linkedin-hook-extractor

Reverse-engineer the hook formula from a viral LinkedIn post URL. Returns which of the 20 canonical 2026 formulas it uses (anaphora, R.I.P., year-pivot, time-anchor, curiosity-gap, contrarian, comment-gate, emotional cold-open, named-gratitude, and 11 more), why it worked, and a blank template. Use to learn from a competitor's post, not to write your own (use linkedin-post-writer).

This repo hosts 10 skills, so its 4,970 stars are split between them (about 497 each) for scoring.

Popularity score: 77/100 from public GitHub signals only. It shows how widely used and maintained this is, not how well it works. Not included yet: the fake-star check. The security scan is shown separately and doesn't change the score. How we rank

Security

Scanned Oct 20, 2026 at commit 261240ac5c4d, with Cisco's open-source skill-scanner.

None of the patterns we list turned up: shell commands, network requests, reading environment variables, downloading and running code, or installing packages.

A scan lists patterns in the code. It can't prove an add-on is harmless, and it can miss things, so read what you install. How we scan
