threads-hook-extractor

Reverse-engineer the hook from a viral Threads post or thread URL. Identifies which of the 10 canonical 2026 Threads formulas it uses (warm contrarian, data-point, build-in-public, quote-post, mini-list, relatable, listicle, story, curiosity-gap, how-I teardown), explains why it worked, and returns a blank template mapped to your topic with its primary goal (replies, reposts, likes, quotes). Use to learn from a post you admire. Not for writing your own (use threads-post-writer).

This repo hosts 10 skills, so its 48 stars are split between them (about 5 each) for scoring.

Popularity score: 56/100 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 8a7f4356f297, 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
