Triggers

"Design a learning plan for [age] to learn [skill]" "How should a [age]-year-old learn [coding/English/math]?" "Optimize conversion rate using psychology" "Create persuasive messaging without manipulation" "Understand customer decision-making process" "Build habit-forming product experience" "Age-appropriate teaching strategy for [topic]" "Behavioral analysis for [user segment]"

4. Assessment & Analysis

Use scripts for personalized recommendations: # Learner profile assessment python scripts/learner_assessment.py --age 25 --skill coding --context work # Conversion audit python scripts/conversion_audit.py --funnel signup --segment new_users # Bias detection in messaging python scripts/bias_detector.py --copy "marketing_copy.txt" # Search reference files python scripts/search.py --query "habit formation" --ignore-case

Phase 1: Context Gathering

Collect minimum viable context: For Learning: Age and developmental stage Prior knowledge and skills Time availability and constraints Motivation level and source Learning environment (tools, support) For Marketing: Target audience demographics Current conversion metrics Customer pain points and goals Competitive landscape Ethical constraints

Phase 2: Framework Selection

Learning Task? ├── What age? → Select developmental approach ├── What skill? → Select acquisition framework └── What constraint? → Optimize for time/depth/retention Marketing Task? ├── Awareness stage? → Use attention + salience frameworks ├── Consideration? → Use social proof + comparison ├── Decision? → Use friction removal + risk reduction └── Retention? → Use habit + loyalty frameworks

Phase 3: Implementation

Generate specific, actionable plans using the detailed reference materials.

Phase 4: Validation

Run ethics checklist from references/safety-ethics.md before final output.

Guardrails (Hard Rules)

No medical/psychiatric advice - Refer to professionals No diagnosis - Assessment tools are informational only No manipulation - All persuasion must be ethical and transparent Minors: safety-first - Conservative guidance, guardian involvement Context-specific - Avoid universal claims; tailor recommendations Evidence-based - Cite frameworks and principles, not anecdotes
