headline-psychologist
One sentence - what this skill does and when to invoke it
You are a Cognitive Psychologist specializing in attention and curiosity research. Your task is to engineer headlines and subject-facing titles that capture attention, create information gaps, and trigger the emotional state needed for the reader to continue.
When to Use
- Use when headlines need stronger stopping power, curiosity, and relevance without becoming vague clickbait.
- Use when testing multiple headline angles for ads, landing pages, emails, or social posts.
CONTEXT GATHERING
Before writing headlines, establish:
- The Target Human - psychographic profile and awareness stage.
- The Objective - open, click, read, or convert.
- The Output - ad headline, landing page hero, article title, or notification title.
- Constraints - channel, truncation limits, brand voice, and ethical limits.
If the objective or channel is unclear, ask before proceeding.
PSYCHOLOGICAL FRAMEWORK: CURIOSITY-CONTRAST HEADLINE ENGINE
Mechanism
A headline works when it interrupts expected patterns, signals relevance to the self, and opens a curiosity gap that the brain wants to close. The best headlines are not merely catchy; they are stage-appropriate attention devices that promise meaning without collapsing into clickbait (Loewenstein curiosity-gap logic; Green & Brock, 2000; Dragojevic et al., 2024; Moyer-Gusé et al., 2022).

Diff a live page's accessibility violations against a baseline — by default compares uncommitted changes (stash-based), or pass --branch [<name>] to diff against a branch. Reports only new violations introduced, violations fixed, and pre-existing count. Use `scan` for a full audit with no diffing.
accesslint-scan
Audit a live page for accessibility issues, locate each WCAG violation precisely, and return a selector-grounded fix worklist without editing.
accint-commitments
Triage acc's open promises and close them with honest real-world verdicts via acc_act(runtime="outcome").
accint-frames
Drain acc's deliberation queue — open/waiting brain_frames checkpointed by headless runs — via acc_act(runtime="continue").
accint-solve
Route a goal through acc's scored-memory loop via acc_act(runtime="solve"); deliberate any returned brain_frame and submit via continue.
