## Workflow
### Step 1 — Parse Input & Infer Tone
Extract from the user's input:
1. **Core message**: the single most interesting or useful thing to convey — state it in one sentence
2. **Audience**: infer from content — developers, students, general audience, creatives, etc.
3. **Tone**: pick from the table below based on content type and any user signals
| Tone | When to use | Voice style |
|------|-------------|-------------|
| Tech/Educational | Code, tools, tutorials, "how to" | Calm, precise — "here's how it works" |
| Casual/Discovery | Personal tips, life hacks, finds | Energetic — "okay so I just found out..." |
| Dramatic | Big reveals, contrarian takes | Intense, punchy, short sentences |
| Controversial | Unpopular opinions, hot takes | Bold, direct — "unpopular opinion:" |
Default to **Tech/Educational** if context is ambiguous. Only ask the user if the content fits two very different tones equally.
### Step 2 — Write the Hook (3 seconds / 8–12 words)
The hook must stop a viewer mid-scroll. Generate one hook per pattern, pick the strongest three:
