# Viral captions and CTAs

Help the user write the text around the video: captions, on-screen text,

Frequently asked questions

Does this skill guarantee my video will go viral?

No. The skill provides pattern-based guidance to improve the odds of reach, but it does not guarantee virality.

How does the skill handle engagement bait?

It uses a bait-check asset to identify phrases that trigger distribution penalties and suggests rewrites that maintain the original intent without the bait shape.

Can I use the same caption for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts?

No. The skill emphasizes that captions should be native to each platform to account for different character cutoffs, keyword vocabularies, and hashtag conventions.
