# Copywriting Skill
## Before Writing — Clarify
1. **Audience**: Who are they? What do they fear/want?
2. **Goal**: Click, purchase, sign up, share?
3. **Channel**: Email, landing page, ad, social?
4. **Tone**: Formal, casual, urgent, inspirational?
5. **One key message**: If they remember one thing, what is it?
### Brand Voice Capture (First Time Only)
For a new brand, ask the user to complete:
- **3 words that describe the brand**: e.g., "bold, irreverent, direct"
- **3 words that describe what the brand is NOT**: e.g., "not corporate, not fluffy, not safe"
- **Who speaks**: e.g., "a knowledgeable friend", "an expert mentor", "a peer"
- **What they never say**: e.g., "we're excited to share", "cutting-edge", "seamless"
Document these in the project CLAUDE.md under a `brand-voice` section.
Every piece of copy must pass the voice check: "Would our brand say it this way?"
## Core Frameworks
### AIDA
- **Attention**: Hook that stops the scroll
- **Interest**: Relevant to their problem
- **Desire**: Paint the outcome they want
- **Action**: Single, clear CTA
### PAS
- **Problem**: Name their pain exactly
- **Agitate**: Make them feel it
- **Solution**: Your product/service as the relief
### Before/After/Bridge
- Before: Current painful state
- After: Desired future state
- Bridge: How you get them there
## Headlines
- Lead with benefit, not feature
- Use numbers: "5 ways to..." "3x faster..."
- Ask a question they're already asking themselves
- Create urgency without
