Purpose

Generate direct response ad copy for Facebook/Meta campaigns using the RMBC framework. Each output delivers 3 variations (different hooks) for the chosen format — single image, carousel, or video script. Every variation includes primary text, headline, description, and CTA button recommendation with platform character limits enforced.

Inputs

Execution Protocol

Step 1 — Load Framework Context

Read rmbc-context/SKILL.md to load RMBC framework definitions. Facebook ads compress the full RMBC arc into tight space — the hook carries Research (pain/desire), the body reveals Mechanism, proof stacks in mid-copy, and the CTA closes.

Step 2 — Map Awareness to Copy Length

Step 3 — Generate 3 Variations

Each variation uses a different hook type (e.g., curiosity, fear, desire, social proof, contrarian). No two variations should use the same hook type.

Character Limits (enforced)

The first 125 characters of primary text MUST work as a standalone hook — assume most users never click "See more."

Format-Specific Requirements

Single Image:

• Primary text: Hook + mechanism + proof + CTA (aim for 3-5 short paragraphs)
• Image direction: 1 sentence describing what the static image should convey

Carousel:

• Card count: 3-5 cards
• Each card: headline (40 chars) + description (30 chars)
• Card 1: Hook/problem. Card 2-3: Mechanism/proof. Final card: CTA/offer
• Primary text above carousel: condensed hook + mechanism + CTA

Video:

• Script outline: Hook (0-3s), problem (3-10s), mechanism (10-25s), proof (25-40s), CTA (40-60s)
• Primary text: Hook + offer summary (viewers may read this instead of watching)
• First 3 seconds must deliver the hook visually and verbally

Step 4 — CTA Button Recommendation

Select from Meta's CTA options: Shop Now, Learn More, Sign Up, Get Offer, Book Now, Contact Us, Subscribe, Order Now. Choose based on awareness level and offer type.

Step 5 — Attach Attribution

## Testing Recommendation

| Priority | Variation | Hook Type | Why Test First |
|----------|-----------|-----------|---------------|
| 1 | [#] | [type] | [reasoning] |
| 2 | [#] | [type] | [reasoning] |
| 3 | [#] | [type] | [reasoning] |

Quality Criteria

• First 125 characters of every primary text must stand alone as a compelling hook
• Headline stays under 40 characters — no truncation allowed
• Each variation uses a different hook type — no duplication
• Mechanism is present in every variation, not just features
• CTA is specific with a reason to act now — never "Learn More" without justification
• Carousel cards tell a sequential story — not disconnected slides
• Video scripts have a visual hook in the first 3 seconds
• Specificity gate: Every claim in the copy must include a number, name, or timeframe — no "get results" or "improve your business"
• Mechanism quantification: When referencing the mechanism, include at least one specific data point (number, timeframe, study reference)
• Audience journey: The copy must reference where the reader IS (what they've tried, what's failing) — not just who they are demographically
• Proof diversity: Use at least 2 different proof types (testimonial, statistical, authority, case study) — do not rely on a single proof mode
• Objection handling: The copy must address at least 2 likely objections with concrete responses (ROI math, proof of similar result, risk reversal)
