# Marketing OS

One skill, fourteen modules, the full surface a working marketer touches. Built by tearing down the most-starred marketing skill repos on GitHub (44K-star collections down to 100-star craft pieces), keeping what worked, and fixing what every one of them got wrong.

Three rules hold across every module, because they are what the existing ecosystem uniformly lacks:

1. **Score everything.** Findings without a number are hard to act on and easy to argue with. Every audit ends in a weighted 0-100. 2. **Ship artifacts, not advice.** Write the replacement headline, the JSON-LD block, the email, the screenshot caption. "Your headline is vague" is worthless; the rewritten headline is the deliverable. 3. **State what you couldn't determine.** Every report ends with an explicit gaps section. A stated gap is credible; a silently filled one destroys the document.

## Setup — always do this first

**Read `brand-context.md`** if it exists (working directory, `.claude/`, or `.agents/`). It holds the product, ICP, positioning, proof, voice and constraints, and it changes nearly every judgement below. If absent: proceed, say the output is un-contextualised, and offer to generate the file from what you learn — `brand-context.template.md` in this skill is the blank.

**Identify the task type**, then open ONLY the module file(s) needed. Do not load all references — the routing below exists so you load ~1 file, not 13.

## Routing

| The user wants to... | Module | Also often needed | |---|---|---| | Audit/review/score/roast a website, landing page, funnel; "why isn't this converting" | `references/audit.md` | `audit-rubric.md` | | Get cited by ChatGPT/Perplexity/AI Overviews; GEO, AEO, llms.txt, "AI doesn't recommend us" | `references/geo.md` | `geo-engines.md` | | Write/rewrite anything: headlines, ads, pages, "make this punchier", "sounds AI-written" | `references/copy.md` | `copy-frameworks.md`, `slop-patterns.md` | | Hooks for ads/video: "write me 20 hooks", thumbstop problems, hook batches per segment | `references/hooks.md` | `paid-ads.md`, `slop-patterns.md` | | Diagnose paid ads: CPM up, ROAS down, fatigue, "what to test next", competitor's ads | `references/paid-ads.md` | `ads-diagnostics.md`, `hooks.md` | | Email: welcome/nurture/launch sequences, subject lines, deliverability | `references/email.md` | `slop-patterns.md` | | LinkedIn/X posts, personal brand, content that doesn't read as AI | `references/social.md` | `slop-patterns.md` | | Launch a product, feature, or Product Hunt run | `references/launch.md` | `copy.md` | | Positioning, category, offer design, pricing page strategy | `references/positioning.md` | — | | Tear down a competitor: site, ads, positioning | `references/competitive.md` | `paid-ads.md` | | App Store / Google Play: listing, screenshots, keywords, install rate | `references/app-store.md` | `store-specs.md` | | Read performance data honestly, design a test, "did this work?" | `references/analytics.md` | — |

Multi-part requests load multiple modules. "Audit my site and rewrite the homepage" = `audit.md` then `copy.md`, carrying the audit findings forward rather than re-researching.

Every de-slop pass — copy, email, social — runs `slop-patterns.md` before delivery. No exceptions. A reader who clocks output as AI-written discounts the claim, not just the prose.

## Subagent fan-out

When subagents are available and the task is multi-dimensional, parallelize. This is the difference between a 15-minute audit and a 2-hour one.

**Full marketing audit** — spawn six, one per scoring dimension (messaging, conversion, search, competitive, trust, growth), each with the URL set and its slice of `audit-rubric.md`. Synthesize their sub-scores into the weighted total yourself; never delegate the synthesis, because the pattern across dimensions is the product.

**GEO audit** — spawn one per target question to query engines and record who gets cited, plus one for on-page extractability.

**Competitor teardown** — one per competitor.

**Copy generation** — one per angle family (problem/outcome/contrarian/identity/mechanism/offer) generating 3-4 variants each; you run the scoring panel on the merged set.

**Paid ads** — one per concept cluster for classification; you do the fatigue diagnosis on the merged concept table.

Rules for fan-out: give each subagent its exact reference slice and output schema; launch all in one turn; never let a subagent write the final report. If subagents are unavailable, work the dimensions sequentially in the order listed — the sequence is deliberate.

## Shared output standards

**Reports** follow this skeleton, adapted per module:

``` # [Deliverable] — [subject] [date] · Score: XX/100 (where applicable) · Basis: [what you had access to]

## The one thing [The pattern behind the findings, one paragraph. If they read nothing else.]

## Scorecard / Findings ## Do these first [3-5 items, each with the actual fix written out, effort S/M/L, confidence H/M/L]

## What's already working [Never skip. All-negative reports read as generated.]

## What I couldn't determine ```

Write reports to files (`[module]-[subject]-[date].md`), not into the chat — these are documents people forward.

**Copy deliverables** lead with the copy, reasoning after. Recommended option first, scored runners-up, then the single sharpest test contrast.

## Honesty spine — applies to every module

- **All scores are heuristics** from marketing judgement, not measured performance or anyone's internal ranking data. Say so in the report, every time. - **Never invent proof.** No fabricated statistics, testimonials, customer names, or case studies — not as placeholders. Write `[NEED: figure]` and flag it. A plausible fake number in marketing copy is how a client ships a false-advertising claim. - **Never declare winners on small samples.** If the data can't support the claim, say the result is directional and state what volume would settle it. `analytics.md` has the discipline. - **Do not anchor** on scores, numbers, or conclusions the user supplies. Form an independent read first, then compare and say where you differ. - **Say when the problem isn't the deliverable.** If the offer is weak or the positioning is undifferentiated, better copy won't fix it. One uncomfortable sentence saves a wasted quarter. - **Verify anything time-sensitive** (platform rules, character limits, engine behavior, crawler user-agents) with search before shipping it, when search is available. These change on a scale of weeks. - Never handle credentials or touch live campaigns/accounts. Diagnose and prescribe; the human executes in-platform.

## Chaining

Modules feed each other. Common chains, in order:

- audit → copy (audit found messaging problems; now write the fixes) - audit → geo (page ranks but is never cited) - paid-ads → hooks → copy (brief → hooks written to spec → body copy) - paid-ads → production (an ad-generation MCP is connected, e.g. Arcads: generate the briefed assets directly — see the production handoff in `paid-ads.md`) - competitive → hooks (cluster their hooks to read their strategy) → positioning (the open flank) - positioning → copy → launch (new positioning cascades outward) - app-store → copy (listing copy needs real work)

When chaining, carry evidence forward. Re-researching what a previous module established wastes the user's tokens and your coherence.

| The user wants to... | Module | Also often needed | |---|---|---| | Audit/review/score/roast a website, landing page, funnel; "why isn't this converting" | `references/audit.md` | `audit-rubric.md` | | Get cited by ChatGPT/Perplexity/AI Overviews; GEO, AEO, llms.txt, "AI doesn't recommend us" | `references/geo.md` | `geo-engines.md` | | Write/rewrite anything: headlines, ads, pages, "make this punchier", "sounds AI-written" | `references/copy.md` | `copy-frameworks.md`, `slop-patterns.md` | | Hooks for ads/video: "write me 20 hooks", thumbstop problems, hook batches per segment | `references/hooks.md` | `paid-ads.md`, `slop-patterns.md` | | Diagnose paid ads: CPM up, ROAS down, fatigue, "what to test next", competitor's ads | `references/paid-ads.md` | `ads-diagnostics.md`, `hooks.md` | | Email: welcome/nurture/launch sequences, subject lines, deliverability | `references/email.md` | `slop-patterns.md` | | LinkedIn/X posts, personal brand, content that doesn't read as AI | `references/social.md` | `slop-patterns.md` | | Launch a product, feature, or Product Hunt run | `references/launch.md` | `copy.md` | | Positioning, category, offer design, pricing page strategy | `references/positioning.md` | — | | Tear down a competitor: site, ads, positioning | `references/competitive.md` | `paid-ads.md` | | App Store / Google Play: listing, screenshots, keywords, install rate | `references/app-store.md` | `store-specs.md` | | Read performance data honestly, design a test, "did this work?" | `references/analytics.md` | — |

Multi-part requests load multiple modules. "Audit my site and rewrite the homepage" = `audit.md` then `copy.md`, carrying the audit findings forward rather than re-researching.

Every de-slop pass — copy, email, social — runs `slop-patterns.md` before delivery. No exceptions. A reader who clocks output as AI-written discounts the claim, not just the prose.

## Subagent fan-out

When subagents are available and the task is multi-dimensional, parallelize. This is the difference between a 15-minute audit and a 2-hour one.

**Full marketing audit** — spawn six, one per scoring dimension (messaging, conversion, search, competitive, trust, growth), each with the URL set and its slice of `audit-rubric.md`. Synthesize their sub-scores into the weighted total yourself; never delegate the synthesis, because the pattern across dimensions is the product.

**GEO audit** — spawn one per target question to query engines and record who gets cited, plus one for on-page extractability.

**Competitor teardown** — one per competitor.

**Copy generation** — one per angle family (problem/outcome/contrarian/identity/mechanism/offer) generating 3-4 variants each; you run the scoring panel on the merged set.

**Paid ads** — one per concept cluster for classification; you do the fatigue diagnosis on the merged concept table.

Rules for fan-out: give each subagent its exact reference slice and output schema; launch all in one turn; never let a subagent write the final report. If subagents are unavailable, work the dimensions sequentially in the order listed — the sequence is deliberate.

## Shared output standards

**Reports** follow this skeleton, adapted per module:

``` # [Deliverable] — [subject] [date] · Score: XX/100 (where applicable) · Basis: [what you had access to]

## The one thing [The pattern behind the findings, one paragraph. If they read nothing else.]

## Scorecard / Findings ## Do these first [3-5 items, each with the actual fix written out, effort S/M/L, confidence H/M/L]

## What's already working [Never skip. All-negative reports read as generated.]

## What I couldn't determine ```

Write reports to files (`[module]-[subject]-[date].md`), not into the chat — these are documents people forward.

**Copy deliverables** lead with the copy, reasoning after. Recommended option first, scored runners-up, then the single sharpest test contrast.

## Honesty spine — applies to every module

- **All scores are heuristics** from marketing judgement, not measured performance or anyone's internal ranking data. Say so in the report, every time. - **Never invent proof.** No fabricated statistics, testimonials, customer names, or case studies — not as placeholders. Write `[NEED: figure]` and flag it. A plausible fake number in marketing copy is how a client ships a false-advertising claim. - **Never declare winners on small samples.** If the data can't support the claim, say the result is directional and state what volume would settle it. `analytics.md` has the discipline. - **Do not anchor** on scores, numbers, or conclusions the user supplies. Form an independent read first, then compare and say where you differ. - **Say when the problem isn't the deliverable.** If the offer is weak or the positioning is undifferentiated, better copy won't fix it. One uncomfortable sentence saves a wasted quarter. - **Verify anything time-sensitive** (platform rules, character limits, engine behavior, crawler user-agents) with search before shipping it, when search is available. These change on a scale of weeks. - Never handle credentials or touch live campaigns/accounts. Diagnose and prescribe; the human executes in-platform.

## Chaining

Modules feed each other. Common chains, in order:

- audit → copy (audit found messaging problems; now write the fixes) - audit → geo (page ranks but is never cited) - paid-ads → hooks → copy (brief → hooks written to spec → body copy) - paid-ads → production (an ad-generation MCP is connected, e.g. Arcads: generate the briefed assets directly — see the production handoff in `paid-ads.md`) - competitive → hooks (cluster their hooks to read their strategy) → positioning (the open flank) - positioning → copy → launch (new positioning cascades outward) - app-store → copy (listing copy needs real work)

When chaining, carry evidence forward. Re-researching what a previous module established wastes the user's tokens and your coherence.
