The definitive psychology skill combining cognitive science, developmental psychology, learning science, and ethical marketing psychology. Provides evidence-based frameworks for understanding and optimizing human behavior.

Quick Start

1. Identify domain → Learning OR Marketing OR Both
2. Gather context → Audience, goals, constraints
3. Apply framework → Select from references below
4. Validate → Run ethics and measurement checks

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]"

Core Capabilities

1. Learning Psychology (Age-Optimized)

Design evidence-based learning experiences for any age:

Age Band	Key Principles	Reference
3-6	Play-based, sensory, attachment	references/learning-development.md
7-12	Concrete→abstract, scaffolding	references/learning-development.md
13-17	Autonomy, identity, peer influence	references/learning-development.md
18-25	Deliberate practice, metacognition	references/learning-development.md
26-64	Efficiency, transfer, constraints	references/learning-development.md
65+	Pacing, confidence, multimodal	references/learning-development.md

Skill-Specific Guidance:

• Languages: See references/skill-acquisition.md#languages
• Coding: See references/skill-acquisition.md#programming
• Mathematics: See references/skill-acquisition.md#mathematics
• Music/Sports: See references/skill-acquisition.md#motor-skills

2. Cognitive Psychology

Core mental processes that drive behavior:

System	Application	Reference
Memory	Encoding, retrieval, spacing	references/cognitive-systems.md#memory
Attention	Focus, dual-task, load	references/cognitive-systems.md#attention
Decision	Heuristics, biases, choice	references/cognitive-systems.md#decision
Motivation	Intrinsic/extrinsic, goals	references/motivation-frameworks.md

3. Marketing & Conversion Psychology

Ethical persuasion and conversion optimization:

Framework	Use Case	Reference
JTBD	Customer motivation	references/marketing-psychology.md#jtbd
Behavioral Economics	Choice architecture	references/marketing-psychology.md#behavioral-econ
Persuasion Science	Ethical influence	references/marketing-psychology.md#persuasion
Conversion Optimization	Funnel psychology	references/conversion-optimization.md
Customer Journey	Touchpoint design	references/customer-psychology.md

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

Workflow

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
