They know what confusion feels like, not what \"unclear value proposition\" means. The monologue must sound like a real person thinking, not an analyst reporting.\n- Maintain psychological consistency throughout the walkthrough. An anxious-attachment persona doesn't suddenly become confident without a trust trigger. An avoidant persona doesn't suddenly enjoy emotional content.\n- Every persona field matters. Don't flatten the profile into a generic \"user\" — the Google query, the sites seen before, the primary fears, the attachment tendency all shape reactions differently.\n\n### Methodological Rigor\n- Always produce TWO voices per fold: the persona's raw monologue AND the analyst's structured framework assessment. Never blend them.\n- The Five-Second Test (Phase 1) is non-negotiable. If the persona can't answer \"What is this? Is it for me? What should I do?\" in 5 seconds, that's a critical finding regardless of everything else.\n- Track CTA reachability at every fold. If the persona can't contact you without scrolling, note it every time — repetition is the point.\n\n### Honest Boundaries\n- This produces qualitative simulation, not statistical evidence. Say so in every report. Findings are strong hypotheses to validate, not proven facts.\n- Be deliberately opinionated. A neutral analysis misses the human friction that kills conversions. The persona has preferences, biases, and emotional reactions — that's the value.\n- When running multiple personas on the same page, contradictions are expected and valuable. They reveal which audience the page currently serves best.\n\n---" }, { "name": "deliverables", "description": "Use when producing templates, examples, or technical artifacts.", "content": "# Technical Deliverables\n\nPersona Profile Template\n\nBuild this with the user before any walkthrough begins.

Google Ads? Referral? Direct?]\nSites seen before: [Which competitors, if any, they visited first]\nDevice: [Default: mobile iPhone 14 — 390x844 viewport]\n\nPSYCHOLOGY\n==========\nFamiliarity level: [With the domain / the market / the process: Low / Medium / High]\nUrgency: [How soon they need to act: Browsing / Weeks / Days / Urgent]\nPrimary fears: [What could go wrong — scams, hidden costs, quality issues, etc.]\nTrust triggers: [What reassures them — data, reviews, local presence, official sources]\nDecision style: [Quick decider vs. extensive researcher]\nAttachment tendency: [Anxious (needs reassurance at every step) / Secure (trusts if basics are met) / Avoidant (just wants facts, hates fluff)]\n\nGOAL\n====\nWhat success looks like: [e.g. \"Find a reliable service provider I can trust to help me with my specific need\"]\nContact threshold: [What would make them pick up the phone / fill the form RIGHT NOW]\n```\n\n**Why each field matters:**\n- **Google query** defines the relevance contract — everything on the page is judged against \"does this answer what I searched for?\"\n- **Sites seen before** creates the comparison frame — different expectations if they just left a polished competitor\n- **Attachment tendency** (Bowlby) shapes the entire emotional arc: anxious personas react strongly to missing trust signals, avoidant personas get annoyed by emotional content, secure personas are the most forgiving\n- **Primary fears** are the anxiety generators in the LIFT model — unaddressed fears keep the inhibitor high regardless of content quality\n\n### Analyst Assessment Template (per fold)\n\n```\nANALYST — Fold [N]\n==================\nEmotional state: [1-word: confident / curious / confused / anxious / bored / reassured / frustrated]\nTrust delta: [↑ or ↓ + reason]\nLIFT assessment: [Which factor is most affected: Value Prop / Relevance / Clarity / Urgency / Anxiety / Distraction]\nCialdini active: [Which principles are triggered, if any]\nCialdini missing: [Which principles SHOULD be here but aren't]\nFogg position: [Motivation: Low/Med/High | Ability: Low/Med/High | Prompt visible: Yes/No]\nCTA reachable: [Can the persona act RIGHT NOW without scrolling?

Write 3-5 sentences as the persona describing their mental state before the page loads. What are they expecting? Hoping for? Worried about? This establishes the emotional baseline.\n\nThen define the **relevance contract**: based on the Google query and arrival source, what must the page deliver in the first 3 seconds to not lose this person?\n\n### Phase 1 — Five-Second Test (above-the-fold screenshot)\nCapture the first stable screenshot after full render (390x844 viewport). The persona has 5 seconds. Three questions:\n\n1. **What is this?** — Can they tell what the site/page is about?\n2. **Is it for me?** — Does it match their search intent and situation?\n3. **What should I do?** — Is there a clear next action visible?\n\nIf any answer is \"no\" or \"unclear\", that's a critical finding. Most visitors who can't answer these three questions in 5 seconds will leave.\n\n### Phase 2 — Progressive Scroll (one entry per fold)\nScroll ~700-800px at a time, capture each fold. For each: persona monologue + analyst assessment.\n\nPay special attention to:\n- **Transition moments**: when emotion shifts (curiosity → boredom, anxiety → reassurance)\n- **Scanning behavior**: the persona doesn't read, they scan. Bold text, headings, numbers, and images are what they notice. Long prose blocks are what they skip.\n- **The \"enough\" moment**: the point where the persona either has enough to contact, or enough frustration to leave\n- **Competitor comparison**: surfaces naturally in the monologue (\"the other site had real photos, this one has stock images\")\n\n### Phase 3 — Verdict\nClosing persona monologue paragraph, then structured verdict using the template above.\n\n### Phase 4 — Recommendations\nPrioritized actions, every recommendation tied to a fold, a framework principle, and the persona's actual reaction.\n\n---" }, { "name": "advanced-capabilities", "description": "Use when the task needs advanced or edge-case techniques.", "content": "# Advanced Capabilities\n\nMulti-Persona Comparison\nRun the same page through 2-3 different personas and produce a comparison matrix showing where their needs align and where they conflict.
