16 Marketing Psychology Global is an agent skill from minhnv0807/ai-business-skills. Use when persuasion principles have to be applied to a specific asset — reciprocity, scarcity, authority, social proof, liking, commitment, and unity mapped onto copy, a landing page, an email, or an ad, each with a hypothesis and a test plan. Trigger on 'marketing psychology', 'Cialdini', 'persuasion principles', 'how do I add urgency', 'make this more convincing', 'behavioral triggers for this page'. Also use when the user asks why people read the whole page and still do not buy. Not for — price framing and…
Its SKILL.md is about 3.9k 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 Marketing & SEO, covering Marketing psychology. The repository describes itself as: 138 bilingual AI marketing skills (69 VN + 69 Global) for Claude Code, OpenCode, Codex, VS Code. Four role SOP packs — content, design, performance, leader ops — plus strategy… The licence is MIT.
2 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0360adc. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
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.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
16 Marketing Psychology Global loads about 3.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 178 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,696 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
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.

.claude/skills/16-marketing-psychology-global/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder).Apply behavioral science to marketing without manipulation. Real psychology beats fake urgency every time.
Before diving in: marketing psychology is not about tricking people. It's about removing friction from a decision the prospect already wants to make.
If your product is bad, no Cialdini trick will save it. If your product is good, these principles help the right people say "yes" faster — and feel good about it afterwards.
The two failure modes:
Pick 1–2 principles per asset. Make them honest. Test them.
Read .agents/product-marketing-context.md if it exists. The product, audience, and brand voice should drive principle selection — not the other way around.
Ask up to 3 questions before writing:
Principle: People feel obligated to give back when they receive something of value first.
When to use:
International examples:
Trigger phrasing:
Measurable outcome: Lead generation typically 2–3x higher than direct-sell offers.
Pitfall: Gifts that feel transactional ("download this whitepaper to get on our sales call list") destroy reciprocity. Make the value real and unconditional.
Principle: Once people make a small commitment, they tend to follow through with larger ones to stay consistent.
When to use:
International examples:
Trigger phrasing:
Pitfall: Forced commitment (auto-renewing subscriptions hidden in fine print) creates short-term wins and long-term churn + bad reviews.
Principle: People trust the actions of others more than they trust marketers.
When to use:
International examples:
Formats that work globally:
Trigger phrasing:
Pitfall: Fake reviews, anonymous testimonials, and stock photo "customers" are detected fast. Once trust breaks, social proof becomes a negative signal.
Principle: People defer to credible experts and recognized institutions.
When to use:
International examples:
Authority signals (in order of strength):
Trigger phrasing:
Pitfall: Borrowed authority that doesn't apply ("As seen on Forbes" via paid placement). Sophisticated audiences detect this in seconds.
Principle: People buy from those they like, find similar to themselves, or admire.
When to use:
International examples:
Liking levers:
Trigger phrasing:
Pitfall: Manufactured authenticity (PR-written founder posts, ghostwritten Twitter accounts) reads as inauthentic. Audiences calibrate fast.
Principle: Things in limited supply or available for limited time are valued more.
When to use:
International examples:
Scarcity types:
Trigger phrasing:
Pitfall: Fake countdowns that reset every visit, "only 2 left!" messages that never decrease, "limited time" offers that run permanently. Modern audiences detect and broadcast this — one viral takedown destroys credibility.
Principle: People are most influenced by groups they identify as part of — "we" beats "you and us."
When to use:
International examples:
Unity levers:
Trigger phrasing:
Pitfall: Hollow group names without real community infrastructure. If you call them "the family" but never host an event or respond to messages, the language curdles.
| Audience Stage | Primary principles | Avoid |
|---|---|---|
| Cold (TOFU) — don't know you yet | Reciprocity, Social Proof (numbers), Liking (story) | Heavy Scarcity (premature), unverified Authority |
| Warm (MOFU) — comparing options | Authority (expertise), Social Proof (detailed reviews), Commitment (micro-yes) | Scarcity (still building trust), generic Liking |
| Hot (BOFU) — decision time | Scarcity (real deadlines), Commitment (continue saying yes), Unity (VIP/insider) | Excess Reciprocity (looks desperate) |
[Hero] Authority + Unity:
"[Expert name, credential]" + "For [specific identity]"
[Problem] Liking:
"We get it — you're tired of [specific pain]"
[Solution] Reciprocity:
Free assessment / template / demo (no card)
[Proof] Social Proof:
Numbers + named testimonials + recognizable logos
[Pricing] Scarcity (only if real):
"[Specific number] cohort spots left"
[CTA] Commitment:
"Get your custom [X]" — micro-yes wording, not "Buy"Curiosity: "Why 73% of new users churn in week one"
Authority: "[Title]: 3 mistakes I see in every [category] launch"
Scarcity: "Last 24 hours — [specific bonus] disappears tomorrow"
Social proof: "12,000 founders switched to [solution] — your turn?"
Personal: "[First name], a quick thought on [recent context]"Social proof: "12,847 founders trust [tool] — see why →"
Scarcity: "Beta closes Friday — last 50 invites"
Authority: "[Expert] reviewed 200+ [products] — here's what wins"
Liking: "Hi, I'm [Name]. I built [brand] after [specific moment] →"
