## Author's description

Go and find the reels that are actually working right now in the user's niche, rank them by how far each beat its own account, name the hook formula each one used, and turn that into a swipe file they can shoot from. Use when the user says "find viral videos", "what's working right now", "what are people posting in my niche", "reverse engineer this account", "build me a swipe file", "why is this reel doing numbers", or asks what to make next and has no evidence to answer with.
