      "prompt": "How can I use psychology to increase conversions on our pricing page? We sell a B2B SaaS tool with three tiers ($29, $79, $199/month).",
      "expected_output": "Should check for product-marketing.md first. Should apply relevant pricing psychology models: anchoring (show the highest plan first or use a decoy), charm pricing (consider $29 vs $30), Rule of 100 (percentage vs dollar discounts), Good-Better-Best framing, loss aversion (show what they miss on lower tiers). Should also apply broader persuasion models: social proof near pricing, scarcity for limited-time offers, default effect (pre-select recommended plan). Should provide specific, actionable recommendations tied to their price points.",

      "prompt": "Explain the scarcity principle and how to use it ethically in SaaS marketing without being manipulative.",
      "expected_output": "Should explain scarcity as a mental model (limited availability increases perceived value). Should provide legitimate SaaS applications: limited beta spots, early-bird pricing with real deadlines, limited-time feature access, cohort-based launches. Should distinguish ethical scarcity (real constraints) from manufactured urgency (fake countdown timers, artificial limits). Should provide specific examples and implementation guidance. Should reference related models (urgency, FOMO, loss aversion).",

      "expected_output": "Should trigger on casual phrasing. Should recommend copy-relevant mental models from the skill's taxonomy: social proof, reciprocity, loss aversion, anchoring, scarcity, IKEA Effect, Endowment Effect, Commitment & Consistency. For each principle, should explain what it is and provide a specific copywriting application. Should reference the quick reference table by challenge. Should organize by where in the copy each principle applies (headlines, body, CTAs, testimonials).",

      "expected_output": "Should apply design and behavioral models from the skill's taxonomy: Goal-Gradient Effect (motivation increases near goal), Hick's Law (reduce choices), IKEA Effect (let users build something), Endowment Effect (let them experience ownership), Zeigarnik Effect (incomplete tasks drive completion), Commitment & Consistency (small asks first).

      "prompt": "What's the psychology behind why free trials work better than freemium for some products?",
      "expected_output": "Should apply relevant mental models: loss aversion (trial users fear losing access), endowment effect (they feel ownership after using), sunk cost (time invested during trial), Zero-Price Effect (free removes psychological barrier to start), status quo bias (inertia to keep what they have). Should explain how these models interact in trial vs freemium contexts. Should note when each model works best (trial for products with high activation effort, freemium for products with network effects).",
