Identify the relevant mechanism, state its evidence limits, translate it into a specific marketing application, and define how the user can measure whether it helped.</p>\n<h2>How to Use This Skill</h2>\n<p>Read <code>.agents/product-marketing.md</code> first if it exists and ask only for what it does not cover; see <code>suede-product-marketing</code> for path fallbacks.</p>\n<p>Then:</p>\n<ol>\n<li>Use the Quick Reference table below to narrow the user's challenge to two or three candidate models.</li>\n<li>Read only those entries from <code>references/model-catalog.md</code> — the full library, with an evidence tier on every entry. Read it whenever you are about to name a model; never recommend one from memory, because the tier is what bounds the claim you are allowed to make.</li>\n<li>Emit one block per recommendation using the contract below. No recommendation ships without all four parts.</li>\n</ol>\n<h3>Per-recommendation contract</h3>\n<pre><code>**Mechanism:** [named model] — [the behavior it predicts, in one sentence]\n**Evidence:** [Robust / Context-dependent / Contested / Folklore / Framework,\ncopied from the catalog entry] — [what that tier means for how hard you may\nlean on it here]\n**Application:** [the specific change to this product, page, price, or\nsequence — not a generic tactic]\n**Test:** [what changes, what you measure, the success threshold, and how long\nit runs before you decide]\n</code></pre>\n<p>If the catalog entry is <strong>Contested</strong> or <strong>Folklore</strong>, say so inside the recommendation and present the application as an experiment to run, never as a reason the change will work. If nothing in the catalog fits, say that rather than stretching a model — an unevidenced behavioral claim is out of bounds no matter how plausible it sounds.</p>\n<h2>Quick Reference</h2>\n<p>When facing a marketing challenge, consider these models, then pull their entries from <code>references/model-catalog.md</code>:</p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Challenge</th>\n<th>Relevant Models</th>\n</tr>\n</thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Low conversions</td>\n<td>Hick's Law, Activation Energy, BJ Fogg Behavior Model</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Price objections</td>\n<td>Anchoring, Framing, Mental Accounting, Loss Aversion</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Building trust</td>\n<td>Authority, Social Proof, Reciprocity, Pratfall Effect</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Increasing urgency</td>\n<td>Scarcity, Loss Aversion, Zeigarnik Effect</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Retention/churn</td>\n<td>Endowment Effect, Switching Costs, Status-Quo Bias</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Growth stalling</td>\n<td>Theory of Constraints, Local vs Global Optima, Compounding</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Decision paralysis</td>\n<td>Paradox of Choice, Default Effect, Nudge Theory</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Onboarding</td>\n<td>Goal-Gradient, IKEA Effect, Commitment &amp; Consistency</td>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n</table>\n<hr>\n<h2>Task-Specific Questions</h2>\n<ol>\n<li>What specific behavior are you trying to influence?</li>\n<li>What does your customer believe before encountering your marketing?</li>\n<li>Where in the journey (awareness → consideration → decision) is this?</li>\n<li>What's currently preventing the desired action?</li>\n<li>Have you tested this with real customers?</li>\n</ol>\n<hr>\n<h2>Boundaries</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Do not diagnose people, infer protected traits, or present marketing models as clinical or universal truths.</li>\n<li>Do not recommend deception, coercion, fake scarcity, hidden defaults, obstructive cancellation, or other dark patterns.</li>\n<li>Do not claim a behavioral effect will occur without evidence; express it as a hypothesis and define a test.</li>\n<li>Do not publish copy, change interfaces, or decide ethical and legal risk for the user.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Routing</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Use <code>suede-site-alchemy</code> for page application and <code>suede-copy</code> for message framing.</li>\n<li>Use <code>suede-pricing</code> for pricing architecture and <code>suede-paywalls</code> for in-product upgrade moments.</li>\n<li>Use <code>suede-ab-testing</code> to test behavioral hypotheses.</li>\n</ul>\n","files":[{"path":"agents/openai.yaml","sizeBytes":576,"isText":true},{"path":"CARD.md","sizeBytes":4396,"isText":true},{"path":"evals/evals.json","sizeBytes":6014,"isText":true},{"path":"references/model-catalog.md","sizeBytes":24402,"isText":true},{"path":"SKILL.md","sizeBytes":4186,"isText":true}],"reviewScore":null,"reviewSummary":null,"trust":{"provenance":"trusted-source-unreviewed","notice":"Community-authored content, reproduced verbatim and not vetted as instructions.
