## What it does

The skill writes two versions of a lead magnet post: a short format with a direct comment CTA, plus a detailed format that lists what the resource contains. It produces two opening hook options, then adds a value anchor, trigger word and the final call to action.

It reads `./references/lead-magnet-patterns.md` first, along with hook and trigger-word references from `viral-hook-creator`. When `FOUNDER_CONTEXT.md` is present, the skill uses its terminology, brand voice and audience context. Twitter/X copy includes a following requirement for DMs; LinkedIn copy asks readers to connect and comment.

Those three reference files must be reachable at the listed paths because reading them blocks the next step. Check the installed skill layout before using it.

# Lead Magnet Generator

## Purpose
Generate 2 viral lead magnet posts that get your audience to comment a trigger word in exchange for a free resource, maximizing engagement and DM opt-ins.

---

## Execution Logic

**Check $ARGUMENTS first to determine execution mode:**

### If $ARGUMENTS is empty or not provided:
Respond with:
"lead-magnet-generator loaded, proceed with additional instructions"

Then wait for the user to provide their requirements in the next message.

### If $ARGUMENTS contains content:
Proceed immediately to Task Execution (skip the "loaded" message).

---

## Task Execution

When user requirements are available (either from initial $ARGUMENTS or follow-up message):

### 1. MANDATORY: Read Reference Files FIRST
**BLOCKING REQUIREMENT — DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP**

Before doing ANYTHING else, you MUST use the Read tool to read ALL reference files:

```
Read: ./references/lead-magnet-patterns.md
Read: ../viral-hook-creator/references/hook-patterns.md
Read: ../viral-hook-creator/references/trigger_words.md
```

**What you will find:**
- **lead-magnet-patterns.md**: Lead magnet post structures, value framing techniques, and CTA patterns
- **hook-patterns.md**: 18 proven viral hook patterns with templates and psychology (from viral-hook-creator)
- **trigger_words.md**: Four categories of viral trigger words (from viral-hook-creator)

**DO NOT PROCEED** to Step 2 until you have read ALL three files and have the patterns loaded in context.

### 2. Check for Business Context
Check if `FOUNDER_CONTEXT.md` exists in the project root.
- **If it exists:** Read it and use the business context to personalize your output (industry terminology, audience, brand voice, authority metrics).
- **If it doesn't exist:** Proceed using defaults from the "Defaults & Assumptions" section.

### 3. Analyze Input
From the user's requirements, extract:
- **Lead magnet:** What are they giving away? (framework, template, checklist, course, etc.)
- **Credibility hook:** What effort/research backs it? (X hours studying, X months building, X years experience)
- **Inside contents:** What does the lead magnet contain? (for the detailed version)
- **Value anchor:** Price point to anchor value ($99, $199, etc.) or scarcity (will charge X in Y days)
- **Trigger word:** What word should people comment? (default: relevant keyword in CAPS)
- **Platform:** Twitter/X or LinkedIn

For any missing information, apply defaults from **Defaults & Assumptions** or ask the user.
