This skill provides concrete requirements and proven patterns for creating video opening hooks that retain viewer attention, extend title/thumbnail curiosity, and maximize watch time. The opening 5-15 seconds are critical for YouTube algorithm performance and viewer retention.

The viewer already clicked based on the title/thumbnail promise. The opening must ADD new intrigue and make them MORE interested, not simply restate what they already know.
