What it does

Copywriting is an agent skill from kostja94/marketing-skills. When the user wants to write or optimize short-form marketing copy—headlines, CTAs, ad copy, landing page copy, email copy. Also use when the user mentions "copywriting," "headline," "CTA copy," "ad copy," "landing page copy," "sales copy," "conversion copy," "PAS," "AIDA," "BAB," "copy formula," or "differentiation." For long-form article bodies (blog posts, guides), use article-content.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Writing & Content, covering Copywriting. The repository describes itself as: Agent Skills for Marketing — SEO, Social, Influencer & More. 160+ open-source skills for SEO, content, 40+ page types, paid ads, channels, and strategies. Add project context… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Optimize short-form marketing copy—headlines
  • Landing page copy
  • The user mentions copywriting
  • Conversion copy

Example prompts

  • “copywriting,”
  • “headline,”
  • “CTA copy,”
  • “/copywriting”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Context: Ad, landing page, email, CTA, or general
  2. Goal: Awareness, consideration, conversion, retention
  3. Audience: ICP, stage, pain points

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8dd89c5. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Copywriting loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 101 tokens; SKILL.md has 583 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~101
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Content: Copywriting

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.

Initial Assessment

Project context: Read root contextus.md when present and load only the modules relevant to this task. Without Contextus, use available project material or user-provided facts and ask for missing information; do not create a parallel context system.

Identify:

  1. Context: Ad, landing page, email, CTA, or general
  2. Goal: Awareness, consideration, conversion, retention
  3. Audience: ICP, stage, pain points

Copywriting Frameworks

FrameworkStructureBest For
PASProblem → Agitation → SolutionDirect-response; sales pages; landing pages
AIDAAttention → Interest → Desire → ActionStory-driven; ads; emails; editorials
BABBefore (problem) → After (outcome) → Bridge (how)Transformation; testimonials; case studies
FABFeatures → Advantages → BenefitsProduct pages; feature lists
4 U'sUseful, Urgent, Unique, Ultra-specificHeadlines; subject lines
PAS (Problem, Agitation, Solution)
  • Problem: Identify the reader's pain point clearly
  • Agitation: Intensify the emotional impact; make the problem feel urgent
  • Solution: Present your product/service as the answer
AIDA (Attention, Interest, Desire, Action)
  • Attention: Grab with a powerful headline or opening
  • Interest: Build engagement through facts, storytelling, or emotional appeals
  • Desire: Highlight benefits and how the product solves problems
  • Action: Include a clear call-to-action
BAB (Before, After, Bridge)
  • Before: Current problem state
  • After: Desired outcome
  • Bridge: How your solution bridges the gap

Headline Formulas

FormulaExample
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 [solution]"Struggling with SEO? 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.
