Showing all 50 templates from the HooklyAI library — the same library the in-app generator draws from. No signup to browse or copy
A template gets you from blank page to draft. The calibrated 1–100 score tells you whether that draft deserves your name — and shows the math.
Toggle between a typical draft and its strengthened edit. Every number below is computed in your browser by the same deterministic scorer the analyzer uses — not a screenshot, not a stock graphic.

Live output from the same deterministic scorer that powers the analyzer — not a screenshot.
Six published dimensions, hard quality gates, methodology in the open. How scoring works
Structure is the asset. The example is a demonstration — never the deliverable.
Stories build trust, hot takes spark comments, how-tos earn saves, listicles travel, frameworks get bookmarked. Start from the reaction you want.
Each template shows its skeleton as an arrow chain — hook → context → tension → payoff → question. That chain is the template; the example is just a demonstration.
Real numbers, real moments, real names (with permission). Specificity is the difference between a post that reads as experience and one that reads as content.
Paste the finished draft into the analyzer for a calibrated 1–100 score against seven published dimensions — including the hard gates that catch engagement bait and body links.
Including the question nobody else answers honestly: will the feed punish you for it.
Yes — every template in the HooklyAI library is browsable and copyable on this page without an account. This is the same library the in-app generator draws from. A free HooklyAI account adds the scored pipeline on top: drafting from a template, previewing the fold, and scoring the result 1–100, with 30 scored generation requests a month.
Not for using structure — a template is a narrative pattern, and patterns aren't plagiarism. What gets penalized (by the feed and by readers) is pasting a template's example text verbatim and publishing it as-is. Use the Structure column as your skeleton, keep the example only as a reference for tone and specificity, and fill it with your own facts and voice. HooklyAI's analyzer will catch generic filler with a low score before your audience catches it.
Follow the arrow chain in the Structure line and answer each step with something only you can write: a real number, a real moment, a real outcome. Specificity is what separates a template that works from one that reads like a template. If a step asks for the turning point, name the actual Tuesday afternoon it happened — not "things changed".
A template gives you the skeleton; a hook gives you the first 210 characters; a generated post gives you a complete draft built on the same content rules. The free HooklyAI tools cover all three — browse templates here, generate hooks and posts with the free tools, and score any draft 1–100 with the analyzer before you publish.
HooklyAI turns any template into a scored draft — 1–100 across six calibrated dimensions, with hard gates against engagement bait. Free tier: 30 scored generation requests a month, six times the volume of the $9 tools.
