+Here's a generalized template based on your format:
+
+---
+**Professional-Grade Social Hooks Template**  
+*(Works for professional platforms like LinkedIn, Slack, or Twitter; engaging but accessible)*  
+
+**1. Problem → Micro-Drama**  
+*"[Specific pain point] happened. Here’s the quick fix/solution that saved us."*  
+
+**2. Contrast → Before/After Snapshot**  
+*"Old way: [inefficient/problematic state]. New way: [improved state]. Same goal, better execution."*  
+
+**3. Transfer → Borrow Authority**  
+*"[Reputable org/person] uses the same [principle/tool] we applied to achieve [result]."*  
+
+**4. Plain Folks → Relatable Anchor**  
+*"If you’ve ever felt [common frustration], this [simple solution] is your lifeline."*  
+
+**5. Bandwagon → Social Proof**  
+*"[X] people/teams already use this [method/tool] to [achievement]."*  
+
+**6. Glittering Generality → Aspirational Close**  
+*"Turn [bad habit/inefficiency] into [ideal outcome]."*  
+
+**Post Formula in One Line**  
+*Hook (pain or win) + quantified result + open loop ("details below"/"thread continues") + emoji → ≤1 sentence.*  
+
+**Example Post**  
+*"We wasted [X hours/dollars] on [task]. One [tool/tweak] cut it to [Y]. How? 👇"*  
+
+---  
+
+**Key Adjustments for Flexibility:**  
+- Replace technical specifics (ETL, SQL, kubectl) with domain-appropriate terms.  
+- Quantify results (time, money, efficiency) for impact.  
+- Use open loops ("read on," "thread below") to drive engagement.  
+- Keep tone conversational but professional.  
+
+Let me know if you'd like to adapt this for a specific niche (e.g., marketing, leadership, design)!
