What it does

Headlines is an agent skill from real-simple-labs/parker-brain. Write headlines for ads — static, video text overlays, paid social, landing page hero. Picks the right structural pattern for the brand type (lifestyle vs problem/solution), the awareness stage, and the customer language available.

Its SKILL.md is about 4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 25 other files (for example `processes/INDEX.md`, `processes/alliteration-rhythm.md` and `processes/authority-proof.md`).

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering Landing pages.

Workflow steps

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

  1. Load brand context — strategy first. The brand's committed strategy (strategy/ — the working thesis, the roadmap's messaging and persona…
  2. Build the headline baseline first. Before writing anything, pull the brand's RUNNING headline corpus — the ad_title, headline, and…
  3. Run the voice audit. From the baseline, extract the brand's headline fingerprint: length distribution, casing and punctuation habits, how…
  4. Determine brand type. Lifestyle or problem/solution. This decision shapes everything that follows — different patterns, different…
  5. Run strategy.md to pick the approach. Strategy routes first to the adaptation paths — adapt a winning headline, lift a review verbatim…
  6. Load and execute the picked process file(s). Each process is a distinct method with its own playbook.
  7. Source customer language from real data. Every headline pulls from reviews, comments, surveys, the running corpus. Never invented…
  8. Ground the visual where the headline sits on a static. When the headline lands on a static or a video frame and the recommendation…
  9. Run the headline quality checklist before output.
  10. You run the two review gates yourself, now, before you present anything — this is a step you execute, not a thing that happens for you…
  11. Run the voice review gate. Spawn the creative-voice-review agent (defined at .claude/agents/creative-voice-review.md) on the finished…
  12. Format output per the structure below.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 62c4f72. 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

Headlines loads about 4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 60 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,259 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~60
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4k

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 2,259 words (~3,961 tokens).

“Write headlines that earn attention and convert it. A headline carries the weight of the entire argument in one line — it has to land instantly for cold scrollers, sound like the brand's actual customers, and follow a structural pattern…”
