## Overview
Creates marketing copy that mirrors Joseph Sugarman's classic direct‑response style, including attention‑grabbing headlines, compelling storytelling, and clear calls‑to‑action.

## When to Use
- The user explicitly requests "Sugarman style" or mentions Joseph Sugarman.
- The request is for ad copy, sales letters, email campaigns, landing page text, or any marketing material that should sound like Sugarman.
- The user provides a brief description of the product, service, or offer.

## Steps
1. **Gather Input**
   - Capture the product/service name, key benefits, target audience, and any specific offer details.
   - Note any length constraints (e.g., headline only, 300‑word sales letter).
2. **Apply Sugarman Framework**
   - **Headline**: Craft a curiosity‑driving, benefit‑focused headline.
   - **Lead / Story**: Open with a relatable story or problem that hooks the reader.
   - **Body**: Highlight features as benefits, use simple language, and build momentum toward the offer.
   - **Offer & CTA**: Present the offer clearly, add urgency or scarcity, and end with a strong call‑to‑action.
3. **Polish**
   - Ensure the copy reads like a conversation, avoids jargon, and maintains a friendly yet authoritative tone.
   - Verify compliance with any brand guidelines supplied.
4. **Deliver Output**
   - Return the copy in the requested format (plain text, markdown, or JSON fields).

## Notes
- If the user does not specify length, default to a short headline, a 2‑paragraph body, and a CTA.
- Feel free to ask follow‑up questions if key details are missing.
- The skill does not perform factual verification; assume product claims are accurate as provided.
