Apply behavioral-psychology principles to a marketing asset or decision — ethically.

  • Asked to make copy/a page/an offer more persuasive

What it does

Marketing Psychology is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Apply behavioral-psychology principles to a marketing asset or decision — ethically. Use when asked to make copy/a page/an offer more persuasive, apply psychological triggers, reduce friction, or understand why something does/doesn't convert. Produces the relevant principles (social proof, scarcity, anchoring, loss aversion, etc.), how to apply each to the specific asset, and a line on staying ethical (no dark patterns).

Its SKILL.md is about 930 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: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to make copy/a page/an offer more persuasive
  • Apply psychological triggers
  • Reduce friction
  • Understand why something does/doesnt convert

Example prompts

  • “/marketing-psychology”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. 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

Marketing Psychology loads about 927 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 111 tokens; SKILL.md has 423 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~111
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~927

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.

Apply behavioral-psychology principles to a marketing asset or decision — ethically. Use when asked to make copy/a page/an offer more persuasive, apply psychological triggers, reduce friction, or understand why something does/doesn't convert. Produces the relevant principles (social proof, scarcity, anchoring, loss aversion, etc.), how to apply each to the specific asset, and a line on staying ethical (no dark patterns).

Marketing Psychology Skill

People don't decide rationally — they use mental shortcuts. Marketing psychology applies those predictably and honestly: real social proof, true scarcity, sensible defaults, clear framing. This skill diagnoses an asset or decision through behavioral principles and gives concrete, specific applications — while drawing a hard line at manipulation and dark patterns (which win a click and lose the trust).

Required Inputs

Ask for these only if they aren't already provided:

  • The asset or decision — the page/email/offer/pricing/CTA you want to make more persuasive.
  • Audience & context — who it's for, their mindset, where they are in the funnel.
  • The goal & the friction — the action you want, and what's holding people back (cost, risk, effort, trust, confusion).
  • What's true — real proof points, actual constraints (so applications are honest, not invented).

Output Format

Marketing psychology: [asset]

The decision & the friction — what you want the person to do and the specific barrier (risk? effort? trust? price?). This selects the principles.

Principles that apply (ranked) — the few most relevant, each with a specific application to this asset:

PrincipleWhy it fits the frictionConcrete application here
Social proof(e.g. "show '2,300 teams use this' near the CTA")
Loss aversion / framing
Anchoring
Scarcity / urgency (only if real)
Commitment & consistency
Reciprocity
Reducing friction (defaults, fewer choices)

(Pick the relevant ones — not all of them. Friction-reduction often beats adding persuasion.)

Rewrites / changes — 1–3 concrete before→after edits applying the top principles.

Ethics line — flag anything that would be a dark pattern (fake scarcity, forced continuity, confirm-shaming, hidden costs) and why to avoid it. Real beats manufactured — it converts and retains.

Quality Checks

  • The principles chosen are matched to the actual friction, not a generic checklist
  • Each principle has a specific, concrete application to this asset (not theory)
  • Scarcity/urgency is only used where it's genuinely true
  • At least one friction-reduction move is considered (often higher-leverage than persuasion)
  • An ethics line flags dark patterns and keeps applications honest

Anti-Patterns

  • Do not invent fake scarcity, countdowns, or fake social proof — it's a dark pattern and it backfires
  • Do not list every principle — pick the few that fit the specific friction
  • Do not stay theoretical — every principle needs a concrete application to the asset
  • Do not use confirm-shaming, forced continuity, or hidden costs — short-term lift, long-term trust loss
  • Do not ignore friction — sometimes the fix is removing a step, not adding persuasion

Based On

Behavioral economics & persuasion research (Cialdini's principles, Kahneman framing/loss aversion, Fogg behavior model) — applied ethically.

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Make copy/a page/an offer more persuasive."
  • "Apply psychological triggers."
  • "Reduce friction."
  • "Understand why something does/doesn't convert."
