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.

# Email Copy Guidelines
|
||||
|
||||
## Structure
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Hook**: First line grabs attention
|
||||
2. **Context**: Why this matters to them
|
||||
3. **Value**: The useful content
|
||||
4. **CTA**: What to do next
|
||||
5. **Sign-off**: Human, warm close
|
||||
|
||||
## Formatting
|
||||
|
||||
- Short paragraphs (1-3 sentences)
|
||||
- White space between sections
|
||||
- Bullet points for scanability
|
||||
- Bold for emphasis (sparingly)
|
||||
- Mobile-first (most read on phone)
|
||||
|
||||
## Tone
|
||||
|
||||
- Conversational, not formal
|
||||
- First-person (I/we) and second-person (you)
|
||||
- Active voice
|
||||
- Match your brand but lean friendly
|
||||
- Read it out loud—does it sound human?
|
||||
|
||||
## Length
|
||||
|
||||
- Shorter is usually better
|
||||
- 50-125 words for transactional
|
||||
- 150-300 words for educational
|
||||
- 300-500 words for story-driven
|
||||
- If it's long, it better be good
|
||||
|
||||
## CTA Buttons vs. Links
|
||||
|
||||
- Buttons: Primary actions, high-visibility
|
||||
- Links: Secondary actions, in-text
|
||||
- One clear primary CTA per email
|
||||
- Button text: Action + outcome
|
||||

|
||||
## Personalization
|
||||
|
||||
### Merge Fields
|
||||
- First name (fallback to "there" or "friend")
|
||||
- Company name (B2B)
|
||||
- Relevant data (usage, plan, etc.)
|
||||
|
||||
### Dynamic Content
|
||||
- Based on segment
|
||||
- Based on behavior
|
||||
- Based on stage
|
||||
|
||||
### Triggered Emails
|
||||
- Action-based sends
|
||||
- More relevant than time-based
|
||||
- Examples: Feature used, milestone hit, inactivity
|
||||
|

|
||||
|
||||
## Segmentation Strategies
|
||||
|
||||
### By Behavior
|
||||
- Openers vs. non-openers
|
||||
- Clickers vs. non-clickers
|
||||
- Active vs. inactive
|
||||
|
||||
### By Stage
|
||||
- Trial vs. paid
|
||||
- New vs. long-term
|
||||
- Engaged vs. at-risk
|
||||
|
||||
### By Profile
|
||||
- Industry/role (B2B)
|
||||
- Use case / goal
|
||||
- Company size
|
||||

||||
## Testing and Optimization
|
||||
|
||||
### What to Test
|
||||
- Subject lines (highest impact)
|
||||
- Send times
|
||||
- Email length
|
||||
- CTA placement and copy
|
||||
- Personalization level
|
||||
- Sequence timing
|
||||
|
||||
### How to Test
|
||||
- A/B test one variable at a time
|
||||
- Sufficient sample size
|
||||
- Statistical significance
|
||||
- Document learnings
|
||||
|
||||
### Metrics to Track
|
||||
- Open rate (benchmark: 20-40%)
|
||||
- Click rate (benchmark: 2-5%)
|
||||
- Unsubscribe rate (keep under 0.5%)
|
||||
- Conversion rate (specific to sequence goal)
|
||||
- Revenue per email (if applicable)
