Why it exists

A pile of agent files is not a team. copywriter exists so one job, direct response copywriter, has a written brief, required skills, and a stop condition.

It ships in the Marketing Kit. Skills it must read: Marketing Psychology & Direct Response Principles; Eugene Schwartz 5 Stages of Customer Awareness; Landing Page Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO). Commands that adopt this role: /landing-page: High-Converting Landing Page Copy Architect; /landing-fix: Landing Page CRO Audit & Copy Optimizer; /positioning: Product Positioning & ICP Strategic Framework.

When to use it

• Writing hero section copy for SaaS landing pages
• Refining marketing messaging to increase conversion rates
• Crafting persuasive pricing tier descriptions

When not to use it

• Do not ask copywriter to do a different role's job. If you need a migration, switch agents.
• Do not keep the same chat after this agent has finished its artifact. Start a reviewer in a new thread.
• Do not invoke every agent in the kit for a small change.

Example workflow

1. Install the Marketing Kit so .cursor/agents/copywriter is on disk.
2. Run /landing-page: High-Converting Landing Page Copy Architect, or start a chat and tell Cursor to adopt the copywriter role.
3. The agent should read: Marketing Psychology & Direct Response Principles; Eugene Schwartz 5 Stages of Customer Awareness; Landing Page Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO).
4. It produces the artifact for this role only, then stops.
5. A different agent or you review. Same-chat self-review is not a review.
