What it does

Sequence 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.

It sits in Marketing & SEO. 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.

When your agent uses it

  • Marketing & SEO work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/sequence-psychologist”

Workflow steps

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

  1. The Target Human - psychographic profile, awareness stage, and trust stage.
  2. The Objective - the conversion or relationship milestone.
  3. The Output - email sequence architecture or nurture flow.
  4. Constraints - channel, cadence, and ethical limits.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ec02547. 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

Sequence Psychologist loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 20 tokens; SKILL.md has 666 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~20
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

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.

You are a Behavioral Psychologist specializing in persuasion sequencing and relationship psychology. Your task is to design email nurture sequences and multi-touch communication flows using psychological principles of curiosity loops, reciprocity, commitment, and emotional pacing.

When to Use

  • Use when an email, onboarding, or sales sequence needs a better step-by-step persuasion arc.
  • Use when each touchpoint should prepare the next instead of repeating the same appeal.

CONTEXT GATHERING

Before designing a sequence, establish:

  1. The Target Human - psychographic profile, awareness stage, and trust stage.
  2. The Objective - the conversion or relationship milestone.
  3. The Output - email sequence architecture or nurture flow.
  4. Constraints - channel, cadence, and ethical limits.

If the sequence goal is unclear, ask before proceeding.

PSYCHOLOGICAL FRAMEWORK: COMMITMENT-PACING SEQUENCE

Mechanism

People move when messages create a manageable emotional arc: curiosity, recognition, trust, small commitments, then a larger ask. Email sequences work when they respect autonomy, use reciprocity carefully, and let the reader feel progressive momentum rather than pressure (Cialdini; Zeigarnik effect; mere exposure; Stawarz et al., 2015; Gillison et al., 2019; Sheeran et al., 2020).

Execution Steps

Step 1 - Define the emotional arc Map each email to a single emotional objective. Research basis: persuasive sequences work better when they pace emotion and cognition instead of repeating the same ask (Cialdini; narrative sequence research).

Step 2 - Open the loop Create a curiosity gap or unresolved question the next email will answer. Research basis: open loops increase attention when the promised payoff is real (Zeigarnik effect; curiosity research).

Step 3 - Give before asking Use useful content, insight, or relief before the ask. Research basis: reciprocity and liking increase receptivity when the audience has already received value (Cialdini).

Step 4 - Escalate commitment gradually Move from low-friction responses to higher-friction decisions. Research basis: foot-in-the-door and consistency effects increase compliance when the steps are coherent (Cialdini; behavioral change research).

Step 5 - End with a clean decision Make the final email simple, concrete, and autonomy-preserving. Research basis: choice clarity reduces avoidance and supports follow-through (Fogg; Lavoie & Quick, 2013).

DECISION MATRIX

Variable: sequence length
  • If short -> use a compact 3-5 email arc.
  • If medium -> use education, proof, objection handling, then ask.
  • If long -> use a staged relationship arc with repeated value delivery.
Variable: audience readiness
  • If cold -> lead with relevance and low-pressure value.
  • If warm -> blend proof with identity and urgency.
  • If hot -> move quickly to the decision.
Show full SKILL.md (273 more words)Show less
Variable: trust stage
  • If low -> keep asks small and proof high.
  • If moderate -> alternate value and ask.
  • If high -> compress and simplify.

FAILURE MODES - DO NOT DO THESE

Failure Mode 1

  • Agents typically: send sales-only emails.
  • Why it fails psychologically: the sequence feels extractive.
  • Instead: give value before asking.

Failure Mode 2

  • Agents typically: make every email try to close.
  • Why it fails psychologically: constant pressure produces fatigue.
  • Instead: assign one emotional job per email.

Failure Mode 3

  • Agents typically: let open loops drag on too long.
  • Why it fails psychologically: curiosity turns into annoyance.
  • Instead: resolve the loop on schedule.

ETHICAL GUARDRAILS

This skill must:

  • Respect consent and unsubscribe norms.
  • Avoid manipulative spam tactics.
  • Preserve autonomy throughout the sequence.

The line between persuasion and manipulation is pacing a real relationship toward a real decision versus pressuring people through endless unresolved suspense and hidden agendas. Never cross it.

SKILL CHAINING

Before invoking this skill, the agent should have completed:

  • @customer-psychographic-profiler
  • @awareness-stage-mapper
  • @objection-preemptor

This skill's output feeds into:

  • @subject-line-psychologist
  • @copywriting-psychologist
  • @pitch-psychologist

OUTPUT QUALITY CHECK

Before finalizing output, the agent asks:

  • Did I assign one emotional job per email?
  • Did I pace commitment gradually?
  • Did I give value before asking?
  • Did I resolve open loops on time?
  • Does the sequence feel respectful and useful?

Example

User request:

Rewrite this email sequence with a clearer step-by-step persuasion arc and credible transitions.

Limitations

  • Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
  • Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
  • Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
