reframing

reframing is a skill for Claude Code from meikocho1/alchemy-marketing-skills. It costs 210 tokens per session (1,552 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A communication method that changes how a product, price, feature, or message is understood without changing the underlying thing. It uses category, comparison, and context to alter perceived value.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to rename or recategorize an offer, choose better comparisons, explain its cost differently, or make an existing feature feel more valuable and distinctive.
Why use it?
A product can be objectively sound but seem generic, cheap, boring, or overpriced because people interpret it through an unhelpful frame. Changing that frame can address the perception before costly product changes.

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

reframing 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 1mo 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 62 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Reframing — change the meaning, not the substance

The cheapest thing you can change is what something means. Same atoms, different frame, completely different behaviour. Reach for this before anyone proposes rebuilding the product or cutting the price — those are the expensive answers.

The principle

A thing has no fixed value; value is assigned by context and comparison. Move the frame and you move the value, at near-zero cost. Three reframing moves:

  • Rename / recategorise. The name is the frame. Change the category a thing competes in and you change what "good" and "expensive" mean for it.
  • Re-anchor the comparison. Value is relative. What you put next to a thing decides how it's judged.
  • Reframe the cost or the context. The same money, time, or effort feels different depending on the mental account it lands in.

Canonical examples (steal these patterns)

  • Diamond Shreddies. A square cereal was rotated 45° and relaunched as "new Diamond Shreddies" (with the old "Squares" kept on shelf as a contrast). Identical product. Sales rose, and people in taste tests said the diamonds tasted better. The product didn't change — its meaning did.
  • Frederick the Great's potato. Peasants refused to eat potatoes, so he declared them a royal vegetable, planted a royal field, and posted (deliberately lax) guards. Villagers concluded anything guarded must be valuable, stole the plants, and started growing them. Scarcity and status, manufactured purely by framing.
  • Mental accounting. "$1 a day" lands in a different mental pocket than "$30 a month" — same money, smaller-feeling cost. "Less than your morning coffee" reframes the expense entirely.
  • Premium by frame, not formula. Round prices and restrained design signal "quality"; .99 prices and "SALE" signal "value." You choose which by how you frame, not by changing the thing.

How to apply

  1. Gatekeep first. Ask whether the problem is really about meaning (feels cheap/generic/overpriced) or about something else wearing that costume — most commonly trust ("they don't believe the claim"), which needs a costly signal, not a frame. If the claim itself is already believed and understood but just isn't landing as valuable, reframing is right; if people doubt the claim is even true, say so explicitly and hand off to costly-signaling instead of forcing a rename/anchor/re-pocket fix.
