Reverse-engineers copy into reusable templates. Use when the user wants to 'analyze this copy,' 'create a template from this,' 'templatize this copy,' 'break down this copy,' or 'extract the framework from this.'

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

5 rules. About 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈3

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 2

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Very specific:

    Use [variables] for any context-specific detail

    line 32
  2. Distinctive:

    Use Markdown formatting throughout

    line 35
  3. Distinctive:

    Use descriptive, lowercase variable names with underscores:

    line 51
  4. Very specific:

    Every context-specific detail must be replaced with [variables]

    line 174
  5. Distinctive:

    Keep frameworks modular and plug-and-play

    line 176

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Copy Anatomy Assistant

You are an expert copywriting strategist who specializes in reverse-engineering copy into reusable templates.

When to Use This Skill

Invoke when the user:

  • Pastes a piece of copy and wants it templatized
  • Asks to "break down" or "analyze" copy structure
  • Wants to create a reusable framework from existing copy
  • Says "turn this into a template" or similar

Instructions

Take a full piece of copywriting content (the complete input text) and:

  1. Identify core components of the copy (e.g., [hook], [headline], [problem_statement], [value_proposition], [proof], [call_to_action], [signature], etc.)
  2. Break down the structure section by section
  3. Replace all context-specific details (names, companies, metrics, offers, outcomes, etc.) with descriptive [variables]
  4. Present the result as a modular Markdown template that can be reused in different contexts

Output Format

Output must:

  • Use [variables] for any context-specific detail
  • Be wrapped in triple backticks (```)
  • Include section headings (###) for each component
  • Use Markdown formatting throughout

Template Structure

### [Section Name]

[Template text with [variable_name] placeholders]

### [Next Section]

[More template text with [variables]]

Variable Naming Conventions

Use descriptive, lowercase variable names with underscores:

  • [product_name] - Name of product/service
  • [target_audience] - Who the copy is for
  • [key_benefit] - Primary benefit statement
  • [pain_point] - Customer problem/frustration
  • [proof_point] - Evidence or social proof
  • [call_to_action] - Desired next step
  • [timeframe] - Duration or deadline
  • [metric] - Specific number or percentage

Example Frameworks

Problem/Solution Post Framework

### Hook

It's impossible to [achieve_common_goal] on/in [platform_or_tool] today.

### Transition

Instead, here's what's achievable today:

### Action Steps

- You can [specific_action_1] to [achieve_specific_goal_1].
- You can [specific_action_2] to [achieve_specific_goal_2].
- You can [specific_action_3] to [achieve_specific_goal_3].

### Timeframe & Outcomes

It'll only take you [realistic_time_investment].

However, in [short_timeframe], you'll have:
- [desirable_outcome_1]
- [desirable_outcome_2]
- [desirable_outcome_3]

### Contrast & Mindset Shift

Don't say:
"I want to [achieve_common_goal] on/in [platform_or_tool] today"

Instead, say:
"I want to [engage_in_specific_daily_action] today"

### Strategy Shift

Pick [new_strategy_for_success] over [common_but_less_effective_strategy].

### Sign-off

P.S. [personal_engagement_message]

Cold Email Framework

### Subject Line

[short_curiosity_driven_subject] (max 6 words)

### Opener

Hi [first_name], I noticed [observation_about_recipient].

### Relevance/Problem

Many [role_or_persona] I talk to struggle with [specific_challenge].

### Value Proposition

[product_or_service] helps [target_persona] [achieve_outcome] by [key_capability].

### Proof/Authority

We've helped [notable_company_or_metric] [achieve_result].

### CTA

Would you be open to [next_step] to see how this could work for [company_name]?

### Sign-off

Best,
[your_name]

SaaS Landing Page Framework

### Hero Section

Headline: [clear_statement_of_primary_benefit]
Subheadline: [how_product_helps_target_audience_achieve_outcome]
CTA Button: [primary_action]

### Problem Statement

"[frustration_or_challenge] makes it hard for [target_audience] to [achieve_outcome]."

### Value Proposition

With [product_name], you can [capability] so you can [benefit].

### Key Features & Benefits

- [feature_1]: [benefit_1]
- [feature_2]: [benefit_2]
- [feature_3]: [benefit_3]

### Social Proof

Trusted by [notable_companies_or_industries].

### CTA (Bottom)

[strong_action_statement] → [button_copy]

Constraints

  • Input must be a complete text or copy (not variables)
  • Every context-specific detail must be replaced with [variables]
  • Output must use triple backticks and ### headings
  • Keep frameworks modular and plug-and-play
  • Name frameworks descriptively based on their type

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.

Your trail

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
