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

16-marketing-psychology-global 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 13d 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.

Marketing Psychology (Global)

Apply behavioral science to marketing without manipulation. Real psychology beats fake urgency every time.


For Newbies

Before diving in: marketing psychology is not about tricking people. It's about removing friction from a decision the prospect already wants to make.

If your product is bad, no Cialdini trick will save it. If your product is good, these principles help the right people say "yes" faster — and feel good about it afterwards.

The two failure modes:

  1. Underuse — you write robotic copy with zero emotional triggers, prospects feel nothing, they bounce.
  2. Overuse — you stack 7 fake-scarcity countdowns, fake reviews, and fake authority badges, and trust collapses.

Pick 1–2 principles per asset. Make them honest. Test them.


Step 0 — Read Context

Read .agents/product-marketing-context.md if it exists. The product, audience, and brand voice should drive principle selection — not the other way around.


Step 1 — Information Gathering

Ask up to 3 questions before writing:

  1. Where will this be applied? (Ad copy / Landing page / Email / Video script / Social post / Pricing page)
  2. Goal? (Increase conversion / Reduce hesitation / Build trust / Justify price / Drive urgency)
  3. Audience temperature? (Cold / Warm / Hot — different temperatures need different triggers)

The 7 Principles (Cialdini, applied globally)

1. Reciprocity

Principle: People feel obligated to give back when they receive something of value first.

When to use:

  • Top-of-funnel (cold audience) — hand out value before asking for anything
  • Building an email list — lead magnet (template, checklist, mini-course)
  • Re-engagement — gift to dormant customers before re-pitching

International examples:

  • HubSpot — gives away free CRM, blog, courses, and academy certifications. Converts a small % to paid Marketing Hub. Probably the cleanest reciprocity flywheel in B2B.
  • Spotify Wrapped — annual gift of personalized data. Drives massive social sharing and retention.
  • IKEA — free meatballs in the cafeteria, free in-store kid daycare. Reciprocity at retail.
  • Sephora — free samples with any purchase. Increases AOV and repeat visits.

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.
