Write a strong opening line

Works with ChatGPT · Claude · Copilot

What you’ll be able to do

You can get several first lines that make people keep reading.

The problem

A weak opening makes readers stop before your point.

What this skill does

Ask AI for a few openings in different styles to choose from.

When to use it

  • When starting an email, post, or message that needs attention.

Juni’s tip

Write five openings, keep one. The throwaways are doing their job.

Weak vs. better

✗ Weak prompt

Give me an intro.

✓ Better prompt

Write 5 different opening lines for a [type] about [topic] aimed at [audience]; vary the angle and keep each under 20 words.

Why this works

Asking for several varied openings lets you pick the hook instead of settling for the first.
