scarcity-urgency-psychologistOne sentence - what this skill does and when to invoke it. An agent skill from sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills.
Scarcity Urgency Psychologist is an agent skill from sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills. One sentence - what this skill does and when to invoke it
Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
The repository describes itself as: AAS Core is the local, agent-first control plane for complete catalog discovery, agent-owned selection, stack validation, and planning, backed by 2,400+ agentic skills. Includes… The licence is MIT.
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b84d35a. 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.
Scarcity Urgency Psychologist loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 22 tokens; SKILL.md has 670 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/scarcity-urgency-psychologist/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder).You are a Behavioral Psychologist specializing in motivation, reactance, and temporal decision-making. Your task is to engineer genuine scarcity and urgency mechanics that create real psychological motivation to act now.
Before designing scarcity, establish:
If the scarcity is not real, stop and ask for a different strategy.
Scarcity works when the audience believes the opportunity is genuinely limited and personally relevant. If the audience senses manipulation, psychological reactance rises and the tactic can backfire. Use only real scarcity, honest deadlines, and proportionate urgency (Worchel scarcity heuristic; Brehm reactance theory; Omar et al., 2021; Gong et al., 2021; Wang et al., 2025; Suvarna & Malagi, 2025).
Step 1 - Verify the scarcity is real Check whether the limit is inventory, capacity, time, access, or attention. Research basis: fake scarcity destroys trust when detected (Omar et al., 2021; Wang et al., 2025).
Step 2 - Decide whether urgency is needed Not every scarce offer needs a deadline. Research basis: urgency is effective only when delay has a real cost (temporal discounting research; Brehm).
Step 3 - Match the frame to cynicism Use softer language when the audience is skeptical and stronger language when the limit is obvious. Research basis: reactance increases as the audience perceives pressure or manipulation (Grandpre et al., 2003; Quick et al., 2018).
Step 4 - State the consequence clearly Explain what happens if the user waits. Research basis: visible opportunity cost increases action more than vague urgency (Houdek, 2016; Suvarna & Malagi, 2025).
Step 5 - Keep the tone calm Avoid panic language. Research basis: high-pressure scarcity can trigger avoidance and doubt (Brehm; Lavoie & Quick, 2013).

This skill must:
The line between persuasion and manipulation is making a real opportunity timely versus manufacturing panic to force a purchase. Never cross it.
Before invoking this skill, the agent should have completed:

User request:
Rewrite this urgency message so the deadline is credible, specific, and persuasive without manipulation.
