SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Marketers often make decisions based on intuition or copy competitors without understanding why customers actually buy. This Skill provides a structured library of 70+ mental models from psychology and behavioral science, each paired with concrete marketing applications, so you can diagnose conversion problems, design pricing, and influence behavior ethically. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Mental Model Library: Covers foundational thinking (First Principles, Inversion, Pareto), buyer psychology (Loss Aversion, Social Proof, Anchoring), persuasion (Reciprocity, Scarcity, Foot-in-the-Door), pricing psychology (Charm Pricing, Rule of 100), and growth models (Flywheel, Network Effects). - Quick Reference Mapping: A challenge-to-model table maps common problems like low conversions, price objections, churn, and decision paralysis to the relevant psychological principles. - Context-Aware Recommendations: Reads .claude/product-marketing-context.md when present to tailor model applications to your specific product and audience. - Use Case: When your landing page converts poorly, ask for help and get a diagnosis using Hick's Law, Activation Energy, and the BJ Fogg Behavior Model, with specific fixes for each friction point. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to analyze why your checkout page has high abandonment using marketing psychology principles and suggest fixes.

Frequently Asked Questions about marketing-psychology

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I use psychology to improve marketing conversions?

Identify the behavior you want to influence, then apply relevant models such as Hick's Law to reduce choices, Activation Energy to lower starting friction, and Loss Aversion to frame the cost of inaction. The Skill maps common challenges like low conversions to specific models with implementation guidance.

What mental models help with pricing page design?

Key pricing models include Anchoring (show higher prices first), the Decoy Effect (add an inferior tier), Charm Pricing ($99 vs $100), the Rule of 100 (percentage vs absolute discounts), and Mental Accounting ($1/day vs $30/month). Each model includes a specific marketing application.

Which psychological principles reduce customer churn?

The Endowment Effect, Switching Costs, and Status-Quo Bias are the primary retention models. Free trials create ownership, integrations and data accumulation raise switching costs, and reducing change friction keeps customers on the current plan.

Does this skill work with product marketing context files?

Yes. If a `.claude/product-marketing-context.md` file exists in the project, the Skill reads it first and tailors mental model recommendations to that specific product and audience rather than giving generic advice.

When should I not use persuasion techniques like scarcity?

Scarcity and urgency should only be used when genuinely true, such as real limited stock or actual deadlines. Fabricated scarcity erodes trust, and the Skill emphasizes ethical application of all influence models throughout its guidance.
