The /hooks-watchlist tool within Sandcastles is designed to help video creators analyze the best-performing hooks from videos in their watchlists. This tool can identify top hook patterns, analyze individual videos, and provide insights into what makes a hook successful.
When you use the /hooks-watchlist command, the tool analyzes videos from your watchlist. It identifies the best-performing hooks from the last two weeks, looking for patterns and outliers. The analysis includes:
To use this tool, navigate to the Cowork section and type /hooks-watchlist into the prompt. The tool will then analyze videos from your watchlist. If you find videos that have not been analyzed, you can ask Claude to analyze them and then run the full hook distribution. This allows you to understand the formats, individual links, and the visual/text hook elements.

Let me know if there are any things that I'm missing.
The tool will then process this request and provide an analysis. For example, it might identify:
