    paywalls

    When the user wants to create or optimize in-app paywalls, upgrade screens, upsell modals, or feature gates. Also use when the user mentions "paywall," "upgrade screen," "upgrade modal," "upsell," "feature gate," "convert free to paid," "freemium conversion," "trial expiration screen," "limit reached screen," "plan upgrade prompt," "in-app pricing," "free users won't upgrade," "trial to paid conversion," or "how do I get users to pay." Use this for any in-product moment where you're asking users to upgrade. Distinct from public pricing pages (see cro) — this focuses on in-product upgrade moments where the user has already experienced value. For pricing decisions, see pricing.

Content: Copywriting

Guides short-form marketing copy—ads, landing pages, email, CTAs. Copywriting frameworks (PAS, AIDA, BAB) provide structure for conversion-focused copy. For article body content (blog posts, guides, long-form), see article-content.

When invoking: On first use, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On subsequent use or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.

Initial Assessment

Check for project context first: If .claude/project-context.md or .cursor/project-context.md exists, read Sections 2 (Positioning), 3 (Value Proposition), 8 (Brand & Voice).

Identify:

  1. Context: Ad, landing page, email, CTA, or general
  2. Goal: Awareness, consideration, conversion, retention
  3. Audience: ICP, stage, pain points

Copywriting Frameworks

FrameworkStructureBest For
PASProblem → Agitation → SolutionDirect-response; sales pages; landing pages
AIDAAttention → Interest → Desire → ActionStory-driven; ads; emails; editorials
BABBefore (problem) → After (outcome) → Bridge (how)Transformation; testimonials; case studies
FABFeatures → Advantages → BenefitsProduct pages; feature lists
4 U'sUseful, Urgent, Unique, Ultra-specificHeadlines; subject lines

PAS (Problem, Agitation, Solution)

  • Problem: Identify the reader's pain point clearly
  • Agitation: Intensify the emotional impact; make the problem feel urgent
  • Solution: Present your product/service as the answer

AIDA (Attention, Interest, Desire, Action)

  • Attention: Grab with a powerful headline or opening
  • Interest: Build engagement through facts, storytelling, or emotional appeals
  • Desire: Highlight benefits and how the product solves problems
  • Action: Include a clear call-to-action

BAB (Before, After, Bridge)

  • Before: Current problem state
  • After: Desired outcome
  • Bridge: How your solution bridges the gap

Headline Formulas

FormulaExample
How to [outcome]"How to Double Your Conversions in 30 Days"
[Number] Ways to [benefit]"7 Ways to Reduce Churn Without Hiring"
[Who] + [benefit]"For Marketers Who Want to Ship Faster"
[Problem]? Here's [solution]"Struggling with SEO? Here's the Fix"
[Before] → [After]"From 0 to 10K Users in 90 Days"
The [adjective] [noun] for [audience]"The Ultimate Guide for SaaS Founders"

Rules: Front-load keywords; keep under 60 chars for SERP; avoid clickbait; match ad-to-page alignment.

Information gain (differentiation): Copy that restates what competitors say adds zero value. Lead with unique angle, proprietary data, or contrarian insight. "What does this headline/promise add that others don't?" See article-content for full information gain strategy in long-form.

ElementAdLanding Page
PromiseMust match page headlineSame promise; expand on it

CTAClick-through; "Learn More"Conversion; "Start Free Trial"

Avoid: Ad promise not visible on page; mismatch increases bounce.

CTA Copy Best Practices

  • Value-focused: "Start Free Trial" not "Submit"
  • Action verb: "Get," "Try," "Download," "Join"
  • Specific: "Get Your Free Audit" not "Click Here"
  • A/B test: Color, copy, placement, size

Output Format

  • Framework (PAS, AIDA, BAB) recommendation
  • Headline options (2–3 variants)
  • Body copy structure
  • CTA copy options
  • A/B test suggestions (if applicable)
