cta-generator
When the user wants to design, optimize, or audit call-to-action (CTA) buttons. Also use when the user mentions "CTA," "call to action," "button design," "conversion button," "primary action," "CTA copy," "button text," "CTA placement," "conversion CTA," or "action button." For landing pages, use landing-page-generator.
What this skill does
# Components: Call-to-Action (CTA) Guides CTA button design for conversion. A well-designed CTA can increase conversion by 25–10%. **When invoking**: On **first use**, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On **subsequent use** or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output. ## Initial Assessment **Check for project context first:** If `.claude/project-context.md` or `.cursor/project-context.md` exists, read it for conversion goals. Identify: 1. **Context**: Hero, form, pricing, product page 2. **User stage**: Awareness, consideration, decision 3. **Primary action**: Sign up, buy, trial, download ## Design Principles ### Visual Clarity - **Look like buttons**: Background, border, corner radius, shadow - **Stand out**: Contrasting color; clear hierarchy - **Size**: ≥48×48px for touch; minimum 48px wide ### Hierarchy - **Primary CTA**: One per section; impossible to miss - **Secondary CTA**: Lower priority; visually distinct - **Avoid**: Multiple competing CTAs causing choice overload ### Color & Shape - **Color**: High contrast; red/orange for urgency - **Shape**: Rounded = friendly; angled = dynamic - **Accessibility**: →.5:1 contrast for text ## Copy Best Practices - **Action-oriented**: "Buy," "Sign up," "Subscribe," "Get started" - **Loss aversion**: "Claim Your Discount Before It's Gone" vs "Get 10% Off"; see **discount-marketing-strategy** for discount campaign design - **Clear, no ambiguity**: User knows exactly what happens - **Scarcity/urgency**: When appropriate; avoid overuse ## Placement - **Above the fold** for primary actions - **After value proposition**; build value before CTA - **Near trust signals** (testimonials, badges) - **Sticky/fixed** for long pages (use sparingly) ## Technical - **Semantic HTML**: `<button>` or `<a>` with `role="button"` when needed - **Visible focus state** for keyboard users - **Loading state** for async actions: disable button during async operations; show spinner or loading text; prevent double-submit - **cursor-pointer**: Add `cursor-pointer` to all clickable CTAs; default cursor on interactive elements is poor UX - **aria-label**: Use `aria-label` for icon-only buttons (e.g., close, search); screen readers need descriptive labels - **Hover stability**: Use color/opacity transitions (150–300ms); avoid scale transforms that shift layout ## Testing - A/B test: color, copy, placement, size - Measure: click-through rate, conversion rate ## Output Format - **CTA copy** suggestions - **Design** notes (color, size, hierarchy) - **Placement** recommendations - **Accessibility** checklist (cursor-pointer, aria-label, focus, loading state) ## Related Skills - **hero-generator**: Hero typically contains primary CTA - **landing-page-generator**: CTA is step 5 of landing page flow; single-goal pages - **testimonials-generator**: Testimonials near CTAs boost conversion - **trust-badges-generator**: Badges near CTAs increase trust - **pricing-page-generator**: CTA on pricing pages (e.g., "Start free trial")

rpg-migration-analyzer
IncludedAnalyzes legacy RPG (Report Program Generator) programs from AS/400 and IBM i systems for migration to modern Java applications. Extracts business logic from RPG III/IV/ILE source code, identifies data structures (D-specs), file operations (F-specs), program dependencies (CALLB/CALLP), and converts RPG constructs to Java equivalents. Generates migration reports, complexity estimates, and Java implementation strategies with POJO classes, JPA entities, and service methods. Use when modernizing AS/400 or IBM i legacy systems, analyzing RPG source files (.rpg, .rpgle, .RPGLE), converting RPG to Java, mapping data specifications to Java classes, planning legacy system migration, or when user mentions RPG analysis, Report Program Generator, RPG III/IV/ILE, AS/400 modernization, IBM i migration, packed decimal conversion, or mainframe application rewrite.
brand-library-architect
IncludedBuild a complete brand library for a product — visual asset render pipeline, brand documentation set (BRAND, COPY, MANIFESTO, BIOS, FAQ, GLOSSARY, TONE, PRICING), open-source convention files (README, CONTRIBUTING, SECURITY, CODE_OF_CONDUCT), and a self-contained press kit. This skill should be used when the user asks to "build a brand library / brand kit / press kit / brand assets" for a product, "set up a brand library workflow," "create a positioning manifesto plus visual identity," or any combination of brand documentation + visual asset pipeline. Apply phase-by-phase or run end-to-end. Templates are product-agnostic and use {{TOKEN}} placeholders the skill prompts the user to fill.
writing-tech-post
IncludedAuthors engineering blog posts end-to-end: launch deep-dives, incident postmortems, architecture migrations, performance case studies, tutorials, AI/agent system writeups, security disclosures, and research-to-product translations. Picks the correct archetype, plans the abstraction ladder, enforces an evidence cadence (diagrams, benchmarks, profiles, traces, code, ablations), tunes voice against publisher house styles (Datadog, Vercel, GitHub, AWS, Meta, Cloudflare, Jane Street), and runs a pre-publish gate for narrative momentum and disclosure ethics. Use when drafting a new engineering post, restructuring a draft that feels flat, deciding which evidence form belongs where, validating that depth and product context are balanced, or preparing a postmortem, migration, or performance narrative for external publication. Do not use for API reference documentation, README authoring, marketing copy, release notes, generic SEO content, ghost-written executive thought leadership, or non-engineering long-form essays.
