cf-variants

cf-variants is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from indranilbanerjee/contentforge. It costs 162 tokens per session (4,534 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A content-variation tool that creates 3–10 alternatives for one item, such as a headline, opening hook, call to action, introduction, or conclusion. It scores and ranks them against a goal such as clicks, engagement, conversions, or readability.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create and compare alternative headlines, subject lines, hooks, calls to action, introductions, or conclusions, while keeping the intended brand voice.
Why use it?
It replaces guesswork with a structured comparison of possible wording. This helps you choose candidates for an A/B test, where different versions are shown to separate audiences to see which performs better.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

cf-variants scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Content Variant Generator — A/B Test Optimization

Generate multiple scored variations of any content element — headlines, hooks, CTAs, introductions, or conclusions — ranked by composite quality score and aligned to your optimization goal.

When to Use

Use /contentforge:cf-variants when you need:

  • A/B test candidates for headlines, subject lines, or CTAs
  • Higher-performing alternatives to existing content elements
  • Data-informed decisions about which hook or intro to deploy
  • Systematic variation rather than guessing what works better
  • Brand-consistent alternatives that maintain voice while testing angles

For full content production, use /contentforge:create-content instead. For refreshing entire pieces, use /contentforge:content-refresh instead.

What This Command Does

Takes a single content element and generates N variations (3-10), scores each across 6 quality dimensions, ranks by composite score weighted toward your optimization goal, and presents the top 3 with detailed reasoning and A/B test setup guidance.

Process Flow:

  1. Extract & Analyze — Parse the source element, identify its type, tone, structure, and current strengths/weaknesses
  2. Generate Variations — Create N distinct alternatives using Humanizer patterns (sentence variety, natural phrasing) and Reviewer scoring logic (quality dimensions)
  3. Score Each Variation — Rate across 6 dimensions (0-10 scale)
  4. Rank & Recommend — Weight scores by optimization goal, present top 3 with explanations
  5. A/B Test Guidance — Provide test setup recommendations (sample size, duration, success metrics)

Required Inputs

Minimum Required:

  • Source Content — The existing element to generate variations for (or a topic/brief if creating from scratch)
  • Element Typeheadline | hook | cta | intro | conclusion

Optional:

  • Variation Count — Number of variations to generate (3-10, default: 5)
  • Optimization Goalclicks | engagement | conversions | readability (default: engagement)
  • Brand — Brand profile to enforce voice/tone (if registered via /contentforge:brand-setup)
  • Target Audience — Who the content is for (influences language and appeal)
  • Tone Override — Override brand default (authoritative, conversational, technical, witty)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
