What it does
Pfd is an agent skill from skovalik/perception-first-design. This skill should be used when working on any design, marketing, copywriting, writing, or communication task — including: "run PFD", "apply PFD", "use Perception-First Design", "do a PFD analysis", "run the derivation protocol"; when designing interfaces, landing pages, emails, ads, or visual systems; when writing or reviewing marketing copy, headlines, CTAs, proposals, pitches, or presentations; when evaluating conversion problems, bounce rates, engagement, or persuasion; when doing brand work, content strategy…
Its SKILL.md is about 7.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 46 other files, including reference files (for example `references/accumulated-learnings.md`, `references/citation-standards.md` and `references/insights-log.md`).
It sits in Writing & Content, covering Copywriting, Landing pages and Proposals and quotes. The repository describes itself as: A 5-layer design methodology grounded in cognitive psychology. ~100 citations. 15 years applied. MIT + CC BY-SA 4.0.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Copywriting
- Tasks that involve Landing pages
- Tasks that involve Proposals and quotes
Example prompts
- “run PFD”
- “apply PFD”
- “use Perception-First Design”
- “/pfd”
Workflow steps
11 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- State the Design Problem
- Work Each Layer Bottom-Up
- Accumulate Requirements
- Derive the Solution
- Test Against Proposals (if any)
- Identify the Gap
- Restate the question
- Walk each layer bottom-up as a descriptive lens
- Check for trade-offs
- Check for integrative compounds
- Format output
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1704ff6. 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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
python
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
creativecommons.org
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
Pfd loads about 7.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~47k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 169 tokens; SKILL.md has 3,536 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.
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 3,536 words (~7,270 tokens).
“Author: Stefan Kovalik / Aurochs Framework version: 3.6 (2026-04-20). ~100 citations, international research integration, Methodology Siblings section, Cultural Calibration meta-rule, 7 new layer rules across L0–L4 Source of truth: framework/PERCEPTION-FIRST-DESIGN.md — when framework layer descriptions change, update this skill's layer…”
