Strategy & Positioning

Brand & Product Context

Use when starting work on a brand or product with the AAJ skills, or when any skill needs context about the business that isn't available yet. Also use when the user mentions onboarding, "set up my brand," brand brief, company context, who we are, our ICP, our positioning, brand voice, or "tell the agent about my business." Produces a structured .agents/product-marketing.md brief — company, product, ICP, positioning, value, voice, goals, funnel, and competitors — that every other AAJ skill reads first.

Campaign Orchestrator

Use when the user has a marketing goal or problem but doesn't know which skill to reach for — "our funnel is broken", "we're launching next month", "growth has stalled", "where do I even start". Also use when the user asks for a campaign plan, a marketing plan, a GTM plan, or help sequencing work across several areas. Diagnoses which of the named Plays applies, then runs it through Diagnose → Design → Execute, calling the right skills in order and refusing to skip ahead.

Market Sizing

Use when the user wants to size a market - TAM, SAM and SOM - for a pitch deck, a board plan, a new segment or a go-to-market decision. Also use when the user mentions market size, total addressable market, serviceable market, "how big is the opportunity", bottom-up sizing, or has a top-down analyst number they want to use. Builds the size bottom-up from counted accounts and sourced assumptions, derives SOM from the team's real capacity rather than a share of the market, and flags every link in the chain nobody sourced.

Marketing Maturity Assessment

Use when the user wants to know how mature their marketing is as a whole - where the function is strong, where it is weak, and what to fix first - or wants a structured way to assess a client's or a portfolio company's marketing. Also use when the user mentions marketing maturity, marketing audit, growth audit, marketing health check, "where do we stand", "what should we fix first", or a before-and-after on the marketing function. Scores the 18 statements of AAJ's Marketing Maturity Scorecard across six dimensions, names the weak links for the company's stage, asks for the evidence behind high self-scores, and compares with a previous run. Not a benchmark against other companies.

Marketing Psychology

Use when the user wants to apply behavioral science or persuasion principles to marketing — pricing pages, landing pages, onboarding, emails, offers, or CTAs. Also use when the user mentions psychology, cognitive bias, behavioral economics, persuasion, social proof, anchoring, loss aversion, scarcity, friction, or "why aren't people converting". Diagnoses which decision friction is actually blocking the buyer, then selects the principles that address it — with an explicit line between persuasion and manipulation.

Messaging Framework

Use when the user wants to build a messaging framework or message hierarchy — the organized set of what to say, to whom, and in what order. Also use when the user mentions messaging, message hierarchy, messaging pillars, core message, talking points, message map, value pillars, or "what should our messaging be." Produces a messaging framework — one core message, 3–4 pillars with proof, audience variants, and what to keep off-message.

Positioning Statement

Use when the user wants to write, sharpen, or pressure-test a positioning statement, value proposition, or core messaging for a product or company. Also use when the user mentions positioning, messaging, value prop, "what do we do / who is it for", category, differentiation, or competitive alternative. Produces a defensible positioning statement, supporting proof points, and a one-line value proposition, with variants by audience lens.

Pricing & Packaging

Use when the user wants to design or sanity-check pricing and packaging — the tiers, what's in each, and the price points. Also use when the user mentions pricing, packaging, tiers, plans, price points, good-better-best, pricing model, value metric, ARPU, or "how should we price this." Produces a packaging structure (tiers and what's in each), price points with rationale, and a modeled blended ARPU and revenue mix.

Pricing Page Teardown

Use when the user wants to review a pricing page - their own or a competitor's - or is thinking about changing a price and asks whether a test would tell them anything. Also use when the user mentions pricing page audit, pricing page teardown, price test, price experiment, A/B testing a price, revenue per visitor, "should we raise prices", or "can we test this". Scores the page on 21 checks a buyer would notice, ranks the fixes against competitors, works out before launch whether a live price test can answer the question at your traffic, and reads a test against its planned size.

Value Proposition

Use when the user wants to write or sharpen a value proposition — the core promise of a product for a specific audience. Also use when the user mentions value prop, core promise, "what do we say we do", main message, hero message, tagline, or "why should anyone buy this." Produces a one-line value proposition plus supporting proof points, with variants by audience.
