Stefan Georgi's RMBC methodology as agent skills.
Works with Claude Code, Claude Desktop, OpenAI, Cursor, Windsurf, and any Agent Skills-compatible platform.
Stefan Georgi is a world-class direct response copywriter with $700M+ in attributed client results. He created the RMBC Method — the most widely taught framework for writing high-converting copy — and runs Copy Accelerator Pro, an elite mastermind for top-performing copywriters and media buyers.
RMBC stands for Research, Mechanism, Brief, Copy — the four phases of Stefan's proven copywriting method. These skills encode that methodology as executable tools that any AI agent can run, bringing structured DR copywriting expertise into your AI workflows.
Instead of generic "write me an ad" prompts, RMBC Skills give agents the same frameworks Stefan uses: deep ingredient research, mechanism-driven differentiation, hook generation from proven archetypes, and copy auditing against direct response fundamentals.
rmbc-context is the foundational hub — it loads automatically and provides every other skill with Stefan's core methodology, terminology, and quality standards.
Every copy-generation skill enforces 5 quality gates that were validated through blind A/B testing (+17pp improvement over ungated output, 83% blind preference rate):
- Specificity gate — every claim must include a number, name, or timeframe
- Mechanism quantification — mechanism references must cite a specific data point
- Audience journey — copy must reference where the reader IS (what they've tried, what's failed)
- Proof diversity — 2+ proof types required (testimonial, statistical, authority, case study)
- Objection handling — 2+ objections addressed with concrete responses
Directly tested across multiple niches with automated grading and blind human evaluation. These are the flagship skills with the strongest quality evidence.
| Skill | What It Does | Tested Niches | Improved vs Original |
|---|---|---|---|
hook-battery |
Generates 10 hooks across 5 psychological trigger types | Berberine supplement, Creatine fitness | 100% vs 100% (both strong) |
email-promo |
Promotional email with A/B subject lines, objection handling, ROI math | Copywriting course, Budgeting app | 88% vs 50% (+38pp) |
copy-rewrite |
Audits then rewrites underperforming copy section-by-section | Berberine email, SaaS landing page | 88% vs 75% (+13pp) |
All 5 quality gates applied. Same gate architecture as the benchmark-tested skills above, but not yet individually graded. These produce customer-facing copy.

4 of 5 quality gates (no objection handling — these produce strategic output, not customer-facing copy). Specificity, mechanism quantification, audience journey, and proof diversity still enforced.

These don't generate copy. They provide framework context or raw research that feeds into copy-generation skills.

|---|---|---|

rmbc-copy-audit |

Install RMBC Skills: run
git clone https://github.com/stefan-georgi/dtc-copywriting-skills.git ~/.claude/skills/dtc-copywriting-skills && cd ~/.claude/skills/dtc-copywriting-skills && ./setupthen add an "RMBC Skills" section to my CLAUDE.md that lists the available skills: /write-copy, /ab-test-plan, /ad-angle-generator, /ad-creative-audit, /advertorial-writer, /bonus-stack, /broadcast-email, /cart-abandonment-flow, /checkout-abandonment, /competitor-offer-analysis, /copy-rewrite, /creative-brief, /email-promo, /email-retention-sequences, /fb-ad-copy, /free-offer-brief, /funnel-architecture, /funnel-audit, /guarantee-writer, /hook-battery, /ingredient-research, /lander-copy, /lead-writer, /mechanism-ideation, /media-buying-brief, /offer-stack, /order-form-cro, /pdp-ecomm-template, /post-purchase-sequence, /pricing-strategy, /reengagement-sequence, /rmbc-context, /rmbc-copy-audit, /rmbc-upgrade, /scarcity-urgency, /soap-opera-sequence, /thank-you-page, /ugc-brief, /unified-research-synthesizer, /upsell-script, /upsell-sequence-writer, /vsl-script, /webinar-registration-copy, /welcome-sequence, and says to use /write-copy to discover all skills and set up a product workspace. After updating CLAUDE.md, use the AskUserQuestion tool to ask if they also want to add RMBC Skills to the current project's CLAUDE.md so teammates get it. Finally, run /write-copy to help the user set up their first product workspace.
This symlinks the package into ~/.claude/skills/ so git pull auto-updates all skills. Nothing touches your PATH or runs in the background.
Add RMBC Skills to this project: run
cp -Rf ~/.claude/skills/dtc-copywriting-skills .claude/skills/dtc-copywriting-skills && rm -rf .claude/skills/dtc-copywriting-skills/.git && cd .claude/skills/dtc-copywriting-skills && ./setupthen add an "RMBC Skills" section to this project's CLAUDE.md that lists the available skills: /write-copy, /ab-test-plan, /ad-angle-generator, /ad-creative-audit, /advertorial-writer, /bonus-stack, /broadcast-email, /cart-abandonment-flow, /checkout-abandonment, /competitor-offer-analysis, /copy-rewrite, /creative-brief, /email-promo, /email-retention-sequences, /fb-ad-copy, /free-offer-brief, /funnel-architecture, /funnel-audit, /guarantee-writer, /hook-battery, /ingredient-research, /lander-copy, /lead-writer, /mechanism-ideation, /media-buying-brief, /offer-stack, /order-form-cro, /pdp-ecomm-template, /post-purchase-sequence, /pricing-strategy, /reengagement-sequence, /rmbc-context, /rmbc-copy-audit, /rmbc-upgrade, /scarcity-urgency, /soap-opera-sequence, /thank-you-page, /ugc-brief, /unified-research-synthesizer, /upsell-script, /upsell-sequence-writer, /vsl-script, /webinar-registration-copy, /welcome-sequence, and says to use /write-copy to discover all skills and set up a product workspace. Also tells Claude that if RMBC skills aren't working, runcd .claude/skills/dtc-copywriting-skills && ./setupto re-link skills.
Real files get committed to your repo (not a submodule), so git clone just works.
Cursor, Windsurf, or other Agent Skills hosts: Clone into the platform's skills directory and run ./setup.
Claude Desktop (Chat Mode): Create a Project and paste skill contents into Project Instructions. Always include rmbc-context — it's the foundation every other skill references.
Fork & Customize: Fork the repo on GitHub, then modify skills for your niche or domain.
