What it does

Lead Magnet is an agent skill from OpenClaudia/openclaudia-skills. Create lead magnets and gated content to capture email subscribers and leads. Use when asked to design checklists, templates, calculators, mini-courses, whitepapers, or other downloadable content offers. Trigger phrases: "lead magnet", "gated content", "email capture", "content offer", "free download", "checklist", "template", "whitepaper", "swipe file", "content upgrade", "opt-in offer".

Its SKILL.md is about 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 Documents & Office, covering Content marketing and Report writing. The repository describes itself as: 77 open-source marketing skills for Claude Code, Codex, and other AI coding agents. SEO, content, email, ads, analytics, and growth. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to design checklists
  • Other downloadable content offers
  • Phrases: lead magnet
  • Content upgrade

Example prompts

  • “lead magnet”
  • “gated content”
  • “email capture”
  • “/lead-magnet”

Workflow steps

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

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 28bf209. 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 html).

    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 loads about 3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 101 tokens; SKILL.md has 954 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
~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.
