What this skill does
# Funnel Validator - DotCom Secrets Scorecard ## Overview Ruthlessly assess existing funnels against Russell Brunson's DotCom Secrets framework. Score objectively, expose conversion killers, prescribe actionable fixes. **Brunson's Core Principle:** "You're one funnel away from changing your life." ## When This Activates - "validate my funnel" / "rate my funnel" - "is my funnel good" - "why isn't my funnel converting" - Checking funnel before driving traffic - Low conversion rates on landing pages - Optimizing existing funnel ## Key Difference from funnel-architect - **funnel-architect:** Designing funnels from scratch - **funnel-validator:** Assessing existing funnels, scoring, fixing ## The Framework: DotCom Secrets Scorecard ``` HOOK (Grab Attention) → STORY (Build Connection) → OFFER (Close the Deal) ``` **Scoring Dimensions (6 total):** | Dimension | Weight | What It Measures | |-----------|--------|------------------| | Hook Strength | 2x | Does it stop the scroll and grab attention? | | Story Connection | 1.5x | Does it create emotional connection and belief? | | Offer Clarity | 2x | Is the offer clear, compelling, and irresistible? | | Value Ladder Fit | 1x | Does this funnel fit the ascension path? | | Traffic Match | 1.5x | Is the funnel matched to traffic temperature? | | Conversion Path | 1x | Is the next step obvious and frictionless? | **Max Score:** 100 points ## Rating Scale | Score | Rating | Verdict | |-------|--------|---------| | 85-100 | Conversion Machine | Ready to scale. Minor optimizations only. | | 70-84 | Strong Funnel | Good foundation. Fix weak points, then scale. | | 55-69 | Leaky Funnel | Significant gaps. Fix before scaling traffic. | | 40-54 | Broken Funnel | Major issues. Rebuild key components. | | 0-39 | Non-Functional | Start over. Fundamental problems throughout. | ## Traffic Temperature Reference | Temperature | They Know | Appropriate Funnel | |-------------|-----------|-------------------| | Cold | Nothing about you | Lead funnel, value-first content | | Warm | Problem + your solution | Tripwire, webinar, challenge | | Hot | Ready to buy | Sales page, order form, call booking | ## Value Ladder Reference ``` 1. Free: Lead magnet, free content 2. Low-Ticket: $7-97 tripwire, self-liquidating offer 3. Mid-Ticket: $97-997 course, program 4. High-Ticket: $1K-10K coaching, done-for-you 5. Continuity: Recurring membership, retainer ``` ## Integration | Skill | When to Use | |-------|-------------| | `funnel-architect` | After validation, rebuild weak areas | | `copy-validator` | Validate the copy on each page | | `offer-validator` | Validate the core offer separately | | `traffic-architect` | Design traffic strategy for validated funnel | --- **For complete scoring criteria for all 6 dimensions, red flags checklist, epiphany bridge framework, CTA best practices, output format template, example validations (leaky funnel, strong funnel), and common validation mistakes, see:** `references/full-guide.md`

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.
