Content
27%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This skill reads as an encyclopedic reference of psychological concepts rather than an actionable skill file. It massively over-explains concepts Claude already knows well (anchoring, social proof, loss aversion, etc.), consuming enormous token budget with minimal novel instruction. The content would benefit from being restructured as a brief decision-making guide pointing to categorized reference files, with concrete templates and examples replacing the generic one-line marketing applications.
Suggestions
Drastically reduce the body to a decision-making framework (the quick reference table is the most useful part) and move detailed model descriptions into separate reference files (e.g., buyer-psychology.md, persuasion-models.md, pricing-psychology.md).
Remove definitions of well-known psychological concepts—Claude already knows what anchoring, social proof, and loss aversion are. Focus only on the specific marketing application guidance that adds novel value.
Add concrete, copy-paste-ready examples: sample ad copy using loss aversion, a pricing page wireframe using anchoring and decoy effect, a landing page structure using the EAST framework—not just 'frame positively.'
Add a clear workflow for applying psychology to a marketing problem: e.g., 1) Identify the behavior to change, 2) Diagnose barriers using COM-B, 3) Select 1-2 relevant models from the reference table, 4) Draft implementation, 5) Validate with the task-specific questions.

Conciseness | This is extremely verbose at ~400+ lines. It explains dozens of well-known psychological concepts (anchoring, social proof, loss aversion, etc.) that Claude already knows thoroughly. Each model includes a definition Claude doesn't need, and the marketing applications are often generic one-liners. This is essentially a psychology textbook chapter, not a skill file. | 1 / 3 |
Actionability | The marketing applications provide directional guidance ('Show the higher price first,' 'Use .99 endings') but lack concrete, executable examples—no code, no templates, no specific copy examples, no step-by-step implementation instructions. The guidance is more conceptual than actionable. | 2 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The initial 4-step process (identify models → explain psychology → provide applications → implement ethically) provides a basic workflow, and the quick reference table helps with model selection. However, there's no clear sequence for applying multiple models together, no validation steps, and no structured process for going from 'identify the right model' to 'produce a deliverable.' | 2 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | This is a monolithic wall of text with 50+ models all inline. There are no bundle files, yet the content desperately needs to be split—foundational models, buyer psychology, persuasion, pricing, and growth models could each be separate reference files. The related skills section at the end is helpful but doesn't compensate for the massive inline content. | 1 / 3 |
