At a glance

Creates viral lead magnet posts that drive comments and DMs.

  • Works in 5 steps: MANDATORY: Read Reference Files FIRST → Check for Business Context → Analyze Input → …

What it does

Lead Magnet Generator is an agent skill from ognjengt/founder-skills. Creates viral lead magnet posts that drive comments and DMs. Produces 2 versions - a quick punchy format and a detailed format with bullet points. Use when user needs social media posts to give away a lead magnet in exchange for engagement.

Its SKILL.md is about 3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/lead-magnet-patterns.md`).

It sits in Marketing & SEO, covering Content marketing. The repository describes itself as: Claude skills for founders. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • User needs social media posts to give away a lead magnet in exchange for engagement
  • Tasks that involve Content marketing

Example prompts

  • “Use the lead-magnet-generator skill to create viral lead magnet posts that drive comments and DMs”
  • “/lead-magnet-generator”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. MANDATORY: Read Reference Files FIRST
  2. Check for Business Context
  3. Analyze Input
  4. Generate Lead Magnet Posts
  5. Format and Verify

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a45931c. 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 (its code samples are markdown).

    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

Lead Magnet Generator loads about 3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 66 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,066 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~66
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~4.6k

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.

description
Creates viral lead magnet posts that drive comments and DMs. Produces 2 versions - a quick punchy format and a detailed format with bullet points. Use when user needs social media posts to give away a lead magnet in exchange for engagement.

Lead Magnet Generator

Purpose

Generate 2 viral lead magnet posts that get your audience to comment a trigger word in exchange for a free resource, maximizing engagement and DM opt-ins.


Execution Logic

Check $ARGUMENTS first to determine execution mode:

If $ARGUMENTS is empty or not provided:

Respond with: "lead-magnet-generator loaded, proceed with additional instructions"

Then wait for the user to provide their requirements in the next message.

If $ARGUMENTS contains content:

Proceed immediately to Task Execution (skip the "loaded" message).


Task Execution

When user requirements are available (either from initial $ARGUMENTS or follow-up message):

1. MANDATORY: Read Reference Files FIRST

BLOCKING REQUIREMENT — DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP

Before doing ANYTHING else, you MUST use the Read tool to read ALL reference files:

Read: ./references/lead-magnet-patterns.md
Read: ../viral-hook-creator/references/hook-patterns.md
Read: ../viral-hook-creator/references/trigger_words.md

What you will find:

  • lead-magnet-patterns.md: Lead magnet post structures, value framing techniques, and CTA patterns
  • hook-patterns.md: 18 proven viral hook patterns with templates and psychology (from viral-hook-creator)
  • trigger_words.md: Four categories of viral trigger words (from viral-hook-creator)

DO NOT PROCEED to Step 2 until you have read ALL three files and have the patterns loaded in context.

2. Check for Business Context

Check if FOUNDER_CONTEXT.md exists in the project root.

  • If it exists: Read it and use the business context to personalize your output (industry terminology, audience, brand voice, authority metrics).
  • If it doesn't exist: Proceed using defaults from the "Defaults & Assumptions" section.
3. Analyze Input

From the user's requirements, extract:

  • Lead magnet: What are they giving away? (framework, template, checklist, course, etc.)
  • Credibility hook: What effort/research backs it? (X hours studying, X months building, X years experience)
  • Inside contents: What does the lead magnet contain? (for the detailed version)
  • Value anchor: Price point to anchor value ($99, $199, etc.) or scarcity (will charge X in Y days)
  • Trigger word: What word should people comment? (default: relevant keyword in CAPS)
  • Platform: Twitter/X or LinkedIn

For any missing information, apply defaults from Defaults & Assumptions or ask the user.

4. Generate Lead Magnet Posts

Step 4a: Generate Opening Hooks FIRST Using the hook patterns and trigger words from viral-hook-creator (read in Step 1), generate exactly 2 opening hook options:

  1. Select 2 different patterns from hook-patterns.md that fit the lead magnet topic
  2. Integrate 1-2 trigger words from trigger_words.md into each hook
  3. Each hook should be 1-2 lines that create curiosity about the lead magnet

These hooks will serve as the opening lines for both post versions.

Step 4b: Build Complete Posts Using the best hook from 4a, create exactly 2 versions:

Version 1: Quick Format Structure:

[Opening hook from Step 4a]

[What you created from it]

[Value anchor - could charge $X / will charge $X soon]

Comment "[WORD]" and I'll send it to you for free (must be following)

Version 2: Detailed Format Structure:

[Opening hook from Step 4a]

[What you built from it]

Inside you'll find:

→ [Benefit/content 1]
→ [Benefit/content 2]
→ [Benefit/content 3]
→ [Benefit/content 4]

Want the full [playbook/framework/guide]?

Comment "[WORD]" and I'll send it to you.

(Must be following)

Platform Adaptation:

  • Twitter/X: Use the standard CTA endings above
  • LinkedIn: Replace the CTA ending with:
1. Connect with me
2. Comment "[WORD]"

I'll send it straight to your DMs.

P.S. Repost for priority in the queue
5. Format and Verify
  • Structure output according to Output Format section
  • Complete Quality Checklist self-verification before presenting output

Writing Rules

Hard constraints. No interpretation.

Core Rules
  • Lead with the credibility hook (effort, time, research, experience)
  • Use specific numbers: "73 hours" not "many hours", "3 months" not "a long time"
  • Value anchor must feel real and justified
  • Trigger word should be relevant and memorable (usually the lead magnet type in CAPS)
  • "Must be following" is required for Twitter/X (enables DMs)
  • Keep it conversational, not salesy
  • No emojis
  • No hashtags in the main copy
Format-Specific Rules
  • Quick Format: 4-5 short paragraphs max. Punchy. Gets to the CTA fast.
  • Detailed Format: Always use arrows (→) for the list. 3-5 bullet points. Each bullet is a specific benefit or content piece.
Platform-Specific Rules
  • Twitter/X:

    • Character limit doesn't apply (this is a thread opener or long post)
    • End with: Comment "[WORD]" and I'll send it to you for free (must be following)
    • OR: Like + Comment "[WORD]" and it's yours for free. (Must be following so I can DM you)
  • LinkedIn:

    • Professional but still direct
    • End with the numbered CTA format:
      1. Connect with me
      2. Comment "[WORD]"
      
      I'll send it straight to your DMs.

References

These files MUST be read using the Read tool before generating posts (see Step 1):

FilePurpose
./references/lead-magnet-patterns.mdValue anchors, CTA patterns, post structures, and examples
../viral-hook-creator/references/hook-patterns.md18 proven viral hook patterns for opening lines
../viral-hook-creator/references/trigger_words.mdViral trigger words to integrate into hooks

Why this matters: Lead magnet posts need two things: (1) a viral opening hook that stops the scroll, and (2) a clear value-to-action structure. Hook patterns create the initial curiosity. Lead magnet patterns convert that attention into comments.


Quality Checklist (Self-Verification)

Before finalizing output, verify ALL of the following:

Pre-Execution Check
  • I read ./references/lead-magnet-patterns.md before generating posts
  • I read ../viral-hook-creator/references/hook-patterns.md before generating hooks
  • I read ../viral-hook-creator/references/trigger_words.md before generating hooks
  • I have hook patterns, trigger words, value anchors, and CTA formats in context
Opening Hook Check
  • Generated exactly 2 opening hook options
  • Each hook uses a DIFFERENT pattern from hook-patterns.md
  • Each hook contains 1-2 trigger words from trigger_words.md
  • Hooks are 1-2 lines that create curiosity
Content Check
  • Opening hook uses specific numbers (hours, months, years)
  • Value anchor feels real and justified
  • Trigger word is relevant and in CAPS
  • Quick format is punchy (4-5 short paragraphs max)
  • Detailed format uses arrows (→) for the list
  • Detailed format has 3-5 specific bullet points
CTA Check
  • Twitter/X posts end with proper "Comment + must be following" CTA
  • LinkedIn posts end with numbered CTA format + "P.S. Repost" line
  • Trigger word matches in CTA
Writing Check
  • No emojis
  • No hashtags in main copy
  • Conversational tone, not salesy
  • Active voice throughout
Output Check
  • Both versions are complete
  • Brief accurately summarizes input
  • Platform-appropriate CTAs applied

If ANY check fails → revise before presenting.


Defaults & Assumptions

Use these unless the user overrides:

  • Platform: Twitter/X (most common for lead magnet giveaways)
  • Trigger word: The lead magnet type in CAPS (e.g., "FRAMEWORK", "CHECKLIST", "TEMPLATE")
  • Value anchor: "Could easily charge $99 for this" (safe default)
  • Credibility format: Time-based ("I spent X hours/months...")
  • Bullet count: 4 items for detailed format
  • Tone: Confident, direct, generous

If the user doesn't provide what's inside the lead magnet, ask for 3-5 key benefits or contents before generating the detailed version.
