Viral Title

Overview

Use this skill to generate and select viral title candidates. The current version implements Phase 1 universal methodology, WeChat public-account title reuse, X/Twitter hook generation, YouTube title-thumbnail packaging, Bilibili title-cover-tag packaging, and a lightweight evolution loop.

Phase 1 must generate 30 titles: 10 universal formulas x 3 variants per formula. Then score the candidates and recommend the single best title.

Workflow

1. Clarify only if the content is too vague to title.
2. Identify the core material:
   • topic or content summary
   • target audience
   • platform if provided
   • strongest value, conflict, novelty, or emotional hook
   • hard facts, numbers, names, examples, and constraints that must remain true
3. Read references/phase1-universal-methodology.md.
4. If the user names a platform, load the matching platform reference from references/platforms/.
5. Read references/evolution/promoted-rules.md and references/evolution/anti-patterns.md.
6. Generate exactly 3 titles for each of the 10 Phase 1 formulas.
7. If a platform reference is implemented, generate platform-tuned candidates after the universal batch when the user asks for platform-specific titles.
8. If the user asks to reuse proven titles or says "套用标题库", retrieve relevant examples instead of loading full libraries.
9. Score the candidate pool with the Phase 1 scoring rubric plus any platform-specific rules.
10. Select one best title and briefly explain why.
11. End every substantial title-generation response with the feedback prompt from Feedback Hook.
12. If the user replies with a selected title, edit, rating, or critique, log it with scripts/log_feedback.py.

Platform Routing

Use one platform file at a time:

For title-library reuse, load only the current platform's library:

• references/title-library/wechat-public-account-hot-titles.md for summary and examples.
• references/title-library/wechat-ai-curated-hot-titles.md for user-curated AI/tech viral title patterns and hotspot-dependent examples.
• references/title-library/wechat-public-account-hot-titles.json only when many source titles are needed for matching or adaptation.
• references/title-library/x-hot-hooks.md for X/Twitter hook skeletons and reusable mechanisms.
• references/title-library/youtube-hot-titles.md for YouTube title-thumbnail packaging skeletons.
• references/title-library/bilibili-hot-titles.md for B站 title-cover-tag packaging skeletons.

For token-efficient retrieval, prefer:

python3 scripts/retrieve_title_examples.py --platform <wechat|x|youtube|bilibili> --query "<topic words>" --mechanism "<optional mechanism>" --limit 10

Evolution Loop

Use the loop only when logging, feedback, review, or evaluation is useful. Do not load historical logs during ordinary title generation.

Follow meta/RULES.md: append logs automatically, but require user confirmation before modifying core methodology or promoting rules.

Feedback Hook

After every substantial title-generation response, append exactly one short feedback prompt:

**反馈一下**
你最终会用哪个标题？如果你改了标题，把最终版发我；也可以给 1-5 分。我会用这次反馈优化下次标题。

Do not ask for feedback after pure research, implementation, explanation, or tiny one-off edits.

When feedback arrives:

1. Treat a chosen title, edited title, rating, or critique as evolution feedback.
2. Log feedback with the current platform when known.
3. Prefer user_edit over selected_title when both are provided.
4. Store titles, platform, rating, tags, and concise feedback only. Do not store full unpublished drafts by default.
5. After every 5-20 feedback records, run scripts/analyze_feedback.py --recent 20 and summarize learning candidates.
6. Do not promote candidate observations into methodology files without user confirmation.

Quality Rules

• Generate exactly 30 Phase 1 candidates unless the user explicitly asks for fewer.
• Each formula must contribute exactly 3 titles.
• Do not fabricate unsupported facts, names, numbers, or results.
• Prefer concrete nouns, visible stakes, and reader-facing benefits over abstract claims.
• Keep titles platform-neutral in Phase 1. Do not overfit to WeChat, X, YouTube, or Bilibili unless the user asks.
• Use Chinese titles by default when the user writes in Chinese. Use English when the source content or user request is English.
• Avoid empty hype such as "震惊", "必看", "全网最强", unless the user's style explicitly asks for it.
• Make the final recommendation decisive. Do not say "it depends" after scoring.

Future Extension Points

• Add deeper live-sampled libraries for each platform as more user-approved data sources become available.
• Split Bilibili libraries by partition if a single library becomes too broad.
• Load only the platform or library reference needed for the current user request.
