Guides short-form marketing copy—ads, landing pages, email, CTAs. Copywriting frameworks (PAS, AIDA, BAB) provide structure for conversion-focused copy. For article body content (blog posts, guides, long-form), see article-content.
When invoking: On first use, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On subsequent use or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.
Check for project context first: If .claude/project-context.md or .cursor/project-context.md exists, read Sections 2 (Positioning), 3 (Value Proposition), 8 (Brand & Voice).
Identify:
| Framework | Structure | Best For | |-----------|-----------|----------| | PAS | Problem → Agitation → Solution | Direct-response; sales pages; landing pages | | AIDA | Attention → Interest → Desire → Action | Story-driven; ads; emails; editorials | | BAB | Before (problem) → After (outcome) → Bridge (how) | Transformation; testimonials; case studies | | FAB | Features → Advantages → Benefits | Product pages; feature lists | | 4 U's | Useful, Urgent, Unique, Ultra-specific | Headlines; subject lines |
| Formula | Example | |---------|---------| | How to [outcome] | "How to Double Your Conversions in 30 Days" | | [Number] Ways to [benefit] | "7 Ways to Reduce Churn Without Hiring" | | [Who] + [benefit] | "For Marketers Who Want to Ship Faster" | | [Problem]?

Here's the Fix" | | [Before] → [After] | "From 0 to 10K Users in 90 Days" | | The [adjective] [noun] for [audience] | "The Ultimate Guide for SaaS Founders" |
Rules: Front-load keywords; keep under 60 chars for SERP; avoid clickbait; match ad-to-page alignment.
Information gain (differentiation): Copy that restates what competitors say adds zero value. Lead with unique angle, proprietary data, or contrarian insight. "What does this headline/promise add that others don't?" See article-content for full information gain strategy in long-form.
| Context | Focus | Skills | |---------|-------|--------| | Ad copy | Hook, benefit, CTA; platform limits | paid-ads-strategy, google-ads, meta-ads | | Landing page | Headline, value prop, CTA; above fold | landing-page-generator, hero-generator | | Email | Subject line, preview, body, CTA | email-marketing | | CTA | Value-focused; action verb; avoid "Submit" | cta-generator | | Article / blog | Headline formulas, CTA copy; body → article-content | article-content, article-page-generator |
| Element | Ad | Landing Page | |---------|-----|--------------| | Promise | Must match page headline | Same promise; expand on it | | Length | Concise; platform limits | Enough to explain value | | CTA | Click-through; "Learn More" | Conversion; "Start Free Trial" |
Avoid: Ad promise not visible on page; mismatch increases bounce.
