Optimize skill files for AI agent use with progressive disclosure
- Fix marketplace.json: add 2 missing skills (content-strategy, product-marketing-context) - Refactor 10 skills over 500 lines to use references/ folders: - email-sequence: 926 → 291 lines - social-content: 809 → 276 lines - competitor-alternatives: 750 → 253 lines - pricing-strategy: 712 → 226 lines - programmatic-seo: 628 → 235 lines - referral-program: 604 → 239 lines - schema-markup: 598 → 175 lines - free-tool-strategy: 576 → 176 lines - paywall-upgrade-cro: 572 → 224 lines - marketing-ideas: 566 → 165 lines Each skill now has core workflow in SKILL.md (<500 lines) with detailed content in references/ folder for progressive disclosure.

## Your Product Data
|
||||
|
||||
Same structure for yourself—be honest:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
name: [Your Product]
|
||||
# ... same fields
|
||||
|
||||
strengths:
|
||||
- [Your real strengths]
|
||||
|
||||
weaknesses:
|
||||
- [Your honest weaknesses]
|
||||
|
||||
best_for:
|
||||
- [Your ideal customers]
|
||||
|
||||
not_ideal_for:

||||
- [Who should use something else]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Page Generation
|
||||
|
||||
Each page pulls from centralized data:
|
||||
|
||||
- **[Competitor] Alternative page**: Pulls competitor data + your data
|
||||
- **[Competitor] Alternatives page**: Pulls competitor data + your data + other alternatives
|
||||
- **You vs [Competitor] page**: Pulls your data + competitor data
|
||||
- **[A] vs [B] page**: Pulls both competitor data + your data
|
||||
|
||||
**Benefits**:
|
||||
- Update competitor pricing once, updates everywhere
|
||||
- Add new feature comparison once, appears on all pages
|
||||
- Consistent accuracy across pages
|
||||
- Easier to maintain at scale

## Index Page Structure
|
||||
|
||||
### Alternatives Index
|
||||
|
||||
**URL**: `/alternatives` or `/alternatives/index`
|
||||
|
||||
**Purpose**: Lists all "[Competitor] Alternative" pages
|
||||
|
||||
**Page structure**:
|
||||
1. Headline: "[Your Product] as an Alternative"
|
||||
2. Brief intro on why people switch to you

3. List of all alternative pages with:
|
||||

|
||||

||||
### Index Page Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
**Keep them updated**: When you add a new comparison page, add it to the relevant index.
|
||||
|
||||
**Internal linking**:
|
||||
- Link from index → individual pages
|
||||
- Link from individual pages → back to index
|
||||
- Cross-link between related comparisons
|
||||
|
||||
**SEO value**:
|
||||
- Index pages can rank for broad terms like "project management tool comparisons"
|
||||
- Pass link equity to individual comparison pages
|
||||
- Help search engines discover all comparison content
|
||||
|
||||
**Sorting options**:
|
||||
- By popularity (search volume)
|
||||
- Alphabetically
|
||||
- By category/use case
|
||||
- By date added (show freshness)
|
||||
|
||||
**Include on index pages**:
|
||||
- Last updated date for credibility
|
||||
- Number of pages/comparisons available
|
||||
- Quick filters if you have many comparisons
