Example session with this skill installed
Write a headline and opening for a new developer productivity tool that automates PR reviews. The audience is senior engineers who are tired of losing 2 hours a day to nitpicking.
- Read your context and instructions
- Compiled the direct response copy
I've drafted a conversion-focused headline and opening using the specificity and direct challenge frameworks.
Developer Productivity Copy
Headline:
Save 10 hours every week by automating the "nitpicks" in your PR queue.
Opening:
Nobody warned you that code review would eat your career one nitpick at a time.
It’s the same routine every morning. You open your laptop, hoping to ship that new feature, but instead, you're greeted by a wall of 14 open pull requests.
Two hours later, you’ve corrected the same linting errors, suggested the same variable naming conventions, and argued about trailing commas for the third time this week.
Your actual work hasn't even started yet.
45 mins on syntax + 30 mins on style guides + 45 mins on repetitive logic checks = 2 hours of deep work gone, every single day.
There is a better way to get your time back.
Next steps
- Review the "2 hours of deep work" pain quantification to ensure it matches your specific user data.
- Select a primary CTA: "Start Automating Reviews" or "Get Your 10 Hours Back."
- Draft the "Mechanism" section explaining how the tool identifies nitpicks without missing critical logic.
Connects securely to your tools. The creator never sees your data.
About this skill
The problem
Most AI-generated copy sounds like a generic marketing brochure. It uses corporate jargon, lacks rhythm, and fails to address the specific emotional or financial pain points that actually drive conversions.
What it does
- Drafts high-converting landing pages, VSL scripts, and email sequences using proven psychological frameworks.
- Quantifies customer pain points to turn abstract frustrations into concrete reasons to buy.
- Applies "slippery slide" flow techniques including bucket brigades and curiosity loops to keep readers engaged.
- Writes benefit-driven CTAs and risk-reversal micro-copy that reduces click friction.
- Critiques existing copy to remove "AI tells" and replace vague claims with specific, verifiable facts.
Frameworks & tools
This skill implements the direct-response methodologies of Schwartz, Hopkins, Ogilvy, Halbert, Caples, Sugarman, and Collier.
Why this beats prompting it yourself
Standard prompts result in flowery language and "take your business to the next level" clichés. This skill enforces structural constraints like the "So What? Chain" and awareness-level matching, ensuring the output sounds like a seasoned copywriter talking to a friend, not a robot trying to sell a product.
Use cases
- Writing a long-form sales page for a new SaaS product launch.
- Scripting a VSL that gives an editor clear voiceover cues without over-directing visuals.
- Crafting a cold email sequence that opens loops and drives higher reply rates.
- Optimizing a headline to move it from "clever" to "clear and high-converting".
