01 · Hook Engineering

Claude doesn't write hooks. It engineers them.

The difference between a scroll-stop and a scroll-skip is psychology, not copywriting. Here's the exact prompt.

Claude Prompt — TikTok Hook Engineering 
You are an expert in TikTok scroll psychology.
My offer: [1-line description].
My target audience: [demographics + pain point].

Generate 10 hooks under 8 words each.

Rules:
- Every hook creates a curiosity gap
- No hook starts with "I" or "How to"
- At least 3 hooks are counter-intuitive or provocative
- Zero marketing jargon

For each hook, explain in 1 sentence
the psychological trigger it uses.
→ Run 3 variations by changing the pain point. Keep the 2-3 hooks with the sharpest trigger — not the most clever ones.
02 · Avatar Setup

The specs that make the avatar pass as real UGC.

Meta and TikTok algorithms can't distinguish a photorealistic avatar from a human creator — if the specs are right.

Technical specs

Format & Duration

  • Native format: 9:16 mandatory
  • Duration: 18–35 seconds (TikTok affiliate sweet spot)
  • Avatar: photorealistic, not cartoon
  • Voice: neutral accent — FR or EN based on the offer
  • Background: simple lifestyle (kitchen, desk, blurred outdoor)

What to avoid

Signals that trigger detection

  • Visible logo in the frame
  • Transitions that are too smooth or mechanical
  • Recognizable stock music
  • Lighting that's too perfect and uniform
  • Frozen or repetitive facial expressions
Detection risk
03 · AIGC Label TikTok

Disclose or not disclose — the answer is obvious.

Ranking impact
0%
AIGC label is not a negative ranking signal (TikTok 2026 report)
Removals without label
+340%
Increase in unlabeled AI content removals in 2026
Conclusion
Label it.
Disclosing = zero reach impact. Not disclosing + detected = removal.

How to do it
