+# External API Context — [API Name]
+
+> Replace this file with real context for your integration.

+> Keep it focused on behavior that agents cannot infer from the codebase alone.
+> Delete sections that are not applicable.

+## What This API Does
+
+[One paragraph: what service this is, what it provides, why this project uses it, when it was integrated]
+
+---
+
+## Authentication
+
+[Auth method, where keys are stored, any refresh/rotation behavior, scopes required]
+
+---
+
+## Key Endpoints Used
+
+| Endpoint | Purpose | Notes |
+|----------|---------|-------|
+| `POST /resource` | Creates X | Idempotency key required |
+| `GET /resource/{id}` | Reads X | Returns 404 if not found (not 403) |
+
+---
+
+## Non-Obvious Behavior
+
+[Anything that caused or could cause bugs if an agent doesn't know it:]
+
+- **Idempotency:** [describe if required and how to implement]
+- **Rate limits:** [requests/minute, burst behavior, retry guidance]
+- **Async callbacks:** [webhook events, polling, event ordering guarantees]
+- **Pagination:** [cursor-based, offset, page size limits]
+- **Error format:** [how errors are structured — not always standard HTTP semantics]
+
+---
+
+## Webhook Events (if applicable)
+
+| Event | When it fires | Payload shape | Idempotent? |
+|-------|--------------|---------------|-------------|
+| `resource.created` | When X is created | `{ id, data, timestamp }` | Yes |

+
+## Known Limitations
+
+[What the API cannot do, versioning constraints, known bugs, deprecation status]

+
+# Genome: Copywriting (Direct Response)
+
+## Identity
+
+This genome encodes the thinking patterns of direct response copywriting — the discipline of writing words that produce measurable action. It is niche-agnostic: the principles work for health, finance, education, SaaS, e-commerce, and any domain where conversion matters.
+
+---
+
+## Filosofias
+
+### 1. Copy is salesmanship in print
+Copy is not creative writing. It's a salesperson who works 24/7 without breaks, sick days, or mood swings. Every sentence must advance the sale or be cut.
+
+### 2. The prospect is the hero, not the product
+The product is a vehicle. The prospect is the protagonist. The copy's job is to show them a path from their current painful state to their desired future state — and the product is the bridge.
+
+### 3. Nothing is created, everything is modeled
+Original copy comes from structured research, not imagination. Study what works (swipe files, competitor analysis, audience language), then adapt the structure, angle, and psychology to the specific product and audience.
+
+### 4. There is no long copy, only boring copy
+Length doesn't kill conversion — boredom does. A 5,000-word sales page that maintains curiosity and relevance outperforms a 500-word page that's generic. Every paragraph must earn the next paragraph.
+
+### 5. The market dictates the message
+You don't choose what to say — the market does. Research (PMS, competitor analysis, audience language) reveals what the prospect needs to hear. Your job is to organize and present it, not to invent it.
+
+### 6. Data beats opinion
+If an element is converting, don't change it because it looks "ugly" or doesn't match your taste. Conversion data is the only judge. Aesthetic improvements that reduce conversion are failures, not improvements.
+
+---
+
+## Modelos mentais
+
+### The One Belief Model
+Every page/VSL must establish one central belief:
+> "Doing [New Opportunity] is the key to [Primary Benefit], and this is only possible through [Unique Mechanism]."
+
+All copy elements serve this single thesis. If a section doesn't build the belief, it weakens it.
+
+**Reference:** `.aioson/skills/marketing/references/one-belief.md`
+
+### The 5-Act Narrative Arc
+Sales content follows a dramatic structure, not a flat feature list:
+1. **Lead** — hook attention, create curiosity
+2. **Background** — build authority and emotional connection
+3. **Mechanism** — explain WHY (problem cause + solution logic)
+4. **Offer** — present the product as the vehicle
+5. **Close** — manage emotions, drive action
+
+**Reference:** `.aioson/skills/marketing/references/five-acts.md`
+
+### PMS (Problems, Myths, Dreams)
+Before writing, map:
+- **P** — Problems the audience faces (in their words)
+- **M** — Myths/Lies they believe that keep them stuck
+- **S** — Dreams they have (specific, emotional, visualizable)
+
+Copy that mirrors PMS back to the prospect in their vocabulary converts.
+
+**Reference:** `.aioson/skills/marketing/references/pms-research.md`
+
+### Market Sophistication Levels
+Eugene Schwartz's 5 levels determine HOW to write:
+
+| Level | State | Strategy |
+|---|---|---|
+| 1 | Unaware of the problem | Lead with problem discovery |
+| 2 | Problem-aware, no solutions tried | Simple promise + mechanism |
+| 3 | Solution-aware, tried things that failed | Invalidate old solutions first |
+| 4 | Product-aware, knows your type exists | Hyper-specific unique mechanism |
+| 5 | Most sophisticated, skeptical | Lead with proof, reverse-engineer belief |
+
+### The Awareness Spectrum
+Where the prospect is determines the page structure:
+
+- **Cold traffic** (never heard of you) → Full 5-act structure, longer copy, more proof needed
+- **Warm traffic** (follows you, knows you) → Can shorten Acts 1-2, focus on mechanism + offer
+- **Hot traffic** (ready to buy, needs the push) → Lead with offer + guarantee + urgency
+
+---
+
+## Heurísticas
+
+### H1: Headline decides 80% of the page's performance
+If the headline doesn't stop the scroll, nothing else matters. Spend 40% of your writing time on the headline and subheadline.
+
+### H2: Every section must do one of three things
+1. Build the belief (One Belief)
+2. Prove the belief (social proof, mechanism, demonstration)
+3. Drive the action (CTA, urgency, guarantee)
+
+If a section doesn't do any of these, cut it.
+
+### H3: The prospect's vocabulary is always better than yours
+"I'm tired of the yo-yo cycle" > "Achieve sustainable weight management."
+Use the words they use. Research gives you those words.
+
+### H4: Specificity creates credibility
+"14,237 patients" > "thousands of patients"
+"R$47M in combined revenue" > "millions in revenue"
+"In 21 days" > "quickly"
+The more specific the claim, the more believable it is.
+
+### H5: One CTA per decision point
+Never give the prospect 5 things to click. One primary action. One secondary (lower commitment) if needed. That's it.
+
+### H6: Objections not addressed are objections that win
+Every prospect has reasons to say no. Name them. Address them. Prove them wrong. Unaddressed objections compound into a silent "no."
+
+### H7: The guarantee is a conversion multiplier, not a risk
+Strong guarantees increase conversion more than they increase refunds. A 30-day unconditional guarantee can increase sales by 20-30% while refund rates typically stay under 5%.
+
+### H8: Features are proof, not headlines
+Features belong in supporting sections as evidence that the benefit is real. They never lead. Benefits lead, features support.
+
+### H9: Price is always relative
+R$97 is expensive for a PDF. R$97 is cheap for solving a problem that costs R$5,000/year. The copy must frame the price against the alternative cost.
+
+### H10: Urgency must be real or absent
+Fake urgency destroys trust faster than no urgency destroys conversion. If there's no real deadline, don't invent one. Use the Two Paths technique instead (emotional urgency, not manufactured scarcity).
+
+---
+
+## Frameworks
+
+### Framework 1: AIDA (classic)
+**A**ttention → **I**nterest → **D**esire → **A**ction
+Best for: short copy, email sequences, ad scripts.
+
+### Framework 2: PAS (Problem-Agitate-Solve)
+**P**roblem (name it) → **A**gitate (make it feel urgent) → **S**olve (present the solution)
+Best for: email subject lines, ad hooks, section openers.
+
+### Framework 3: BAB (Before-After-Bridge)
+**B**efore (current painful state) → **A**fter (desired future state) → **B**ridge (the product connects them)
+Best for: testimonial sections, hero copy, case studies.
+
+### Framework 4: The Two Paths (close technique)
+Present two futures:
+- **Path 1:** Stay the same (paint the pain of inaction with specific consequences)
+- **Path 2:** Take the new opportunity (paint the dream outcome with specific details)
+
+Best for: Act 5 (close), email sequences, retargeting pages.
+
+### Framework 5: The Irresistible Offer Stack
+Value anchoring → Component stacking → Bonuses with purpose → Reason why → Guarantee → CTA
+Best for: Act 4 (offer section).
+
+**Reference:** `.aioson/skills/marketing/references/offer-structure.md`
+
+---
+
+## Metodologias
+
+### M1: Research before writing (always)
+1. PMS mapping (Problems, Myths, Dreams)
+2. Competitive scan (ads, pages, gaps)
+3. Audience language capture (exact quotes)
+4. Trend validation (Google Trends, social)
+
+**Reference:** `.aioson/skills/marketing/references/market-intelligence.md`
+
+### M2: Write in blocks, not linearly
+Write the headline LAST (after you know the mechanism and offer).
+Write the mechanism FIRST (it determines the headline angle).
+Order: Mechanism → Offer → Lead → Background → Close → Headline.
+
+### M3: Validate against anti-patterns
+After writing, run every section through the anti-pattern checklist.
+**Reference:** `.aioson/skills/marketing/references/anti-patterns.md`
+
+### M4: Test before perfecting
+For VSLs: test with an "ugly" version (slides, text on screen) before investing in production.
+For pages: test the headline and CTA before designing the full page.
+Data validates — opinion guesses.

+
+**Goal**: Verify whether technologies, patterns, and technical decisions mentioned in the PRD are still the best alternatives as of today. Proactive searches with the current date — not dependent on user-provided sources.
+
+**Step 1 — Extract technical signals from the PRD:**
+Scan the PRD for decisions that may become stale:
+- Named technologies or frameworks (e.g. "use Redis", "authenticate with JWT")
+- Defined architectural patterns (e.g. "REST API", "event-driven")
+- Named external integrations (Stripe, SendGrid, Firebase, etc.)
+- Stack decisions (e.g. "Node.js backend", "PostgreSQL database")
+
+If the PRD contains no specific technical decisions → skip RF-WEB silently.
+
+**Step 2 — Search with current date (max 4 queries):**
+For each relevant technical decision identified:
+1. Check if `researchs/{decision-slug}/summary.md` already exists and was created within the last 7 days → use cached result, do not search again
+2. If no recent cache: formulate a query including the current year and run WebSearch
+3. Classify the result: `confirmed` | `has-alternatives` | `outdated` | `deprecated`
+
+**Step 3 — Save to `researchs/`:**
+For each search performed, create `researchs/{decision-slug}/summary.md`:
+```markdown
+---
+searched_at: {ISO-date}
+agent: sheldon
+prd: prd-{slug}.md
+query: "{query used}"
+verdict: confirmed | has-alternatives | outdated | deprecated
+---
+
+# Research: {decision title}
+
+## Verdict
+[one line with verdict and rationale]
+
+## Findings
+[consolidated summary — max 5 bullets]
+
+## Sources consulted
+- [URL] — [what it provided]
+```
+
+Save raw content from each consulted URL in `researchs/{decision-slug}/files/{source-slug}.md`.
+
+**Step 4 — Present only actionable findings:**
+Display to the user only findings with verdict `has-alternatives`, `outdated`, or `deprecated`:
+
+```
+### 🔍 Web Intelligence — {current date}
+
+**[technical decision]** — {verdict}
+→ {finding in 1–2 lines}
+→ Alternative: {recommended alternative, if any}
+→ Source: [URL]
+
+Want to incorporate this update into the PRD?
+```
+
+If all findings are `confirmed`:
+> "✓ PRD technical decisions validated against recent research. No updates needed."
+
+**Rules:**
+- Max 4 searches per session — focus on decisions with the highest risk of becoming stale
+- Silent checks: if WebSearch fails for a query, log the error in `summary.md` and continue without blocking
+- `confirmed` findings are not shown — just noise
+- The user decides whether to incorporate; Sheldon does not modify the PRD without confirmation

+CronCreate { schedule: "*/5 * * * *", command: "..." }
