7
+ ## Input
8
+
9
+ Read from the project output directory:
10
+ 1. **`mango-lollipop.json`** -- Project config
11
+ 2. **`matrix.json`** -- Current message matrix
12
+ 3. **`analysis.json`** -- Business analysis (for voice profile, company context)
13
+ 4. **`messages/`** directory -- Existing message files
14
+
15
+ Locate the project output directory by checking the current working directory or `output/*/` subdirectories.
16
+

18
+
19
+ ## Supported Modifications
20
+
21
+ Handle all of the following modification types. The user will describe changes in natural language. Parse their intent and apply the appropriate modification.
22
+
23
+ ### Add a Message
24
+ User says something like:
25
+ - "Add a message for when users haven't logged in for 7 days"
26
+ - "Add a transactional email for team invitation acceptance"
27
+ - "I need a message when someone hits their storage limit"
28
+
29
+ Process:
30
+ 1. Determine the AARRR stage (or TX if transactional)
31
+ 2. Assign the next available ID for that stage (e.g., if RT-04 exists, new one is RT-05)
32
+ 3. Define trigger, wait, guards, suppressions based on the user's description
33
+ 4. Determine channels from `analysis.channels` (ask if unclear)
34
+ 5. Apply relevant tags
35
+ 6. Write the message entry to `matrix.json`
36
+ 7. Generate the message copy file in `messages/{STAGE}/`
37

+
58
+ Process:
59
+ 1. Identify the message by ID or name
60
+ 2. Apply the requested modification to the message in `matrix.json`
61
+ 3. Regenerate the message copy file using voice rules from `analysis.json`
62
+ 4. Show a diff of old vs. new content
63
+
64
+ ### Change Channels
65
+ User says something like:
66
+ - "Add SMS as a channel for the trial expiring message"
67

71
+ 1. Identify the message
72
+ 2. Update the `channels` array in `matrix.json`
73
+ 3. Regenerate the message copy file with the new channel variants
74
+ 4. If adding a channel: write the new channel variant copy
75
+ 5. If removing a channel: remove that variant from the message file
76
+ 6. Show what changed
77
+
78
+ ### Change Tone
79
+ User says something like:
80
+ - "Make all retention messages more urgent"
81

+
147
+ ### Add Transactional Messages
148
+ User says something like:
149

150
+ - "We need a TX email when someone exports their data"
151
+
152
+ Process:
153
+ 1. Assign the next TX ID (TX-06, TX-07, etc.)
154
+ 2. Set `classification: "transactional"` and `stage: "TX"`

207
+
208

209
+
210
+ ## Regeneration
211
+
212
+ After modifications, determine which files need regeneration:
213
+
214
+ | Change Type | Files to Update |
215
+ |-------------|----------------|
216
+ | Add/remove message | `matrix.json`, new/deleted message file |
217
+ | Modify message content | `matrix.json`, message file |
218
+ | Change channels | `matrix.json`, message file (add/remove channel variants) |
219
+ | Change timing | `matrix.json` only (message content doesn't change) |
220
+ | Add/remove tags | `matrix.json` only |
221
+ | Change guards/suppressions | `matrix.json`, message file frontmatter |
222
+
223
+ After any change that modifies `matrix.json`, regenerate the Excel export to keep it in sync:
224
+
225
+ ```bash
226
+ npm run build && node bin/mango-lollipop.js export excel
227
+ ```
228
+
229
+ Do NOT regenerate visual files (dashboard.html, overview.html) automatically. Instead, tell the user: "Matrix and message files updated. Run the `generate-dashboard` skill to update the dashboard."
230
+
231
+ ---
232
+
233
+ ## Completion
234
+
235
+ After applying changes:
236
+ 1. Confirm all files were updated successfully
237
+ 2. Run `npm run build && node bin/mango-lollipop.js export excel` to regenerate the Excel file
238
+ 3. Show the diff summary
239
+ 4. Confirm: "matrix.xlsx has been updated to reflect the latest changes."
240
+ 5. If the changes affect the dashboard, suggest running `generate-dashboard`
241
+ 6. Remain available for additional changes -- do not close the conversation
242
+ 7. Ask: "Anything else you'd like to change?"

+ # Analyze Business for Lifecycle Messaging
2
+
3
+ You are a lifecycle marketing strategist analyzing a SaaS business to build a complete lifecycle messaging system. Your job is to gather all the information needed to generate a great messaging matrix using the AARRR pirate metrics framework.
4
+
5
+ Before starting, read `templates/copywriting-guide.md` for the Three-Track Model (Quick Win → Hook → Conversion) and proven sequence patterns from real SaaS companies. Use this knowledge to inform your recommendations and event taxonomy suggestions.
6
+
7
+ ## Step 0: Determine User Path
8
+
9
+ Ask the user:
10
+
11
+ > "Are you building lifecycle messaging from scratch, or do you have existing messages you want to improve?"
12
+
13
+ Based on their answer, set the path:
14
+
15
+ - **PATH A (Fresh):** No existing lifecycle messaging. You will build everything from scratch. Proceed through Steps 1-4, then output the analysis.
16
+ - **PATH B (Existing):** Has messages running but needs to fill gaps, fix problems, or level up. Proceed through Steps 1-4, then continue to Step 5 (Existing System Audit).
17
+
18
+ ---
19
+
20
+ ## Step 1: Product Understanding
21
+
22
+ Ask the user how they'd like to share their product info:
23
+
24
+ > "How would you like to tell me about your product? Pick whichever is easiest:"
25
+ >
26
+ > 1. **Paste your website URL** — I'll pull what I can from your site automatically
27
+ > 2. **Describe it** — Tell me about it in your own words
28
+ > 3. **Upload a document** — Product brief, pitch deck, PRD, landing page copy, etc.
29
+
30
+ ### Option 1: Website URL (recommended)
31
+
32
+ If the user provides a URL:
33
+
34
+ 1. Fetch the homepage using WebFetch. Extract whatever you can find: company name, product description, value proposition, features, pricing, target audience.
35
+ 2. Also try fetching common subpages if they exist — append these paths to the base URL and fetch them:
36
+ - `/pricing` or `/plans` — for pricing model and plan tiers
37
+ - `/features` — for a comprehensive feature list
38
+ - `/about` — for company context and target audience
39
+ - `/customers` or `/case-studies` — for audience signals
40
+ 3. From all fetched content, extract and fill in as many of the 7 fields below as possible.
41
+ 4. Present what you found and **only ask follow-up questions for fields you couldn't determine** from the website. The aha moment is almost never on the website — always ask about it.
42
+
43
+ ### Option 2 & 3: Description or Document
44
+
45
+ If the user describes their product or uploads a document, parse it and extract the information below.
46
+
47
+ ### Required Fields
48
+
49
+ Extract and confirm the following:
50
+
51
+ 1. **Company name** - The name of the company/product
52
+ 2. **Product type** - What category of SaaS (collaboration, document management, project management, CRM, etc.)
53
+ 3. **Target audience** - Who uses this product (role, company size, industry)
54
+ 4. **Key value proposition** - The core reason people buy/use it
55
+ 5. **Aha moment** - The specific action or experience where new users first realize the product's value
56
+ 6. **Key features** - List the 3-6 most important features (these become the activation drip sequence)
57
+ 7. **Pricing model** - Free tier, trial period, plan tiers, enterprise
58
+
59
+ Present your understanding back to the user and ask: "Here's what I found. Did I get this right? Anything to add or correct?" Clearly mark any fields you couldn't determine and ask specifically about those.
60
+
61
+ Do not proceed until you have confirmed understanding of all 7 items.
62
+
63
+ ---
64
+
65
+ ## Step 2: Channel Preferences
66
+
67
+ Ask:
68
+
69
+ > "Which messaging channels do you currently use or plan to use? I'll only generate messages for the channels you select."
70
+ >
71
+ > - Email
72
+ > - SMS / Text messages
73
+ > - In-app messages
74
+ > - Push notifications
75
+
76
+ Record the selected channels. Only messages for these channels will be generated in later skills. This prevents producing output the user cannot implement.
77
+
78
+ If the user only selects one channel (e.g., email only), note this but do not push them to add more. They know their constraints.
79
+
80
+ ---
81
+
82
+ ## Step 3: Voice Sampling
83
+
84
+ Ask:
85
+
86
+ > "Paste 2-5 examples of messages you've sent to users -- emails, in-app messages, marketing copy, even internal emails work. I need to capture your voice and style."
87
+
88
+ From their samples, extract:
89
+
90
+ 1. **Tone** - Friendly, professional, playful, direct, warm, etc.
91
+ 2. **Formality** - Score 1-5 (1 = very casual / "hey!", 5 = very formal / "Dear valued customer")
92
+ 3. **Emoji usage** - "none", "light" (occasional, strategic), or "heavy" (frequent, part of brand)
93
+ 4. **Signature style** - How they sign off (first name only, full name + title, team name, no signature)
94
+ 5. **Sample phrases** - 3-5 characteristic phrases that capture their voice
95
+ 6. **Sender personas** - Who sends messages? Extract names and roles. Suggest appropriate use cases:
96
+ - CEO/founder: welcome messages, milestone celebrations, personal outreach
97
+ - Product team: feature announcements, tips, onboarding
98
+ - Support team: help offers, check-ins
99
+ - "The Team" / company name: transactional, system messages
100
+
101
+ If the user doesn't have samples, ask them to:
102
+ - Describe their desired tone (formal/casual, emoji usage, signature style)
103
+ - Write a short paragraph about anything (their product, their weekend, anything) so you can capture their natural voice
104
+
105
+ ---
106
+
107
+ ## Step 4: Event Discovery
108
+
109
+ Based on the product type identified in Step 1, propose an event taxonomy. Use the default SaaS template as a starting point, customized for their specific product:
110
+
111
+ ```yaml
112
+ identity:
113
+ - user.signed_up
114
+ - user.email_verified
115
+ - user.profile_completed
116
+ - user.invited_teammate
117
+
118
+ activation:
119
+ - feature.{key_feature_1}_used_first_time
120
+ - feature.{key_feature_2}_used_first_time
121
+ - onboarding.step_completed
122
+ - onboarding.completed
123
+ - project.created
124
+
125
+ engagement:
126
+ - session.started
127
+ - feature.{feature_name}_used
128
+ - content.shared
129
+ - collaboration.started
130
+
131
+ conversion:
132
+ - trial.started
133
+ - trial.ending_soon
134
+ - trial.expired
135
+ - subscription.created
136
+ - subscription.upgraded
137
+ - subscription.downgraded
138
+ - subscription.cancelled
139
+
140
+ retention:
141
+ - user.inactive_3_days
142
+ - user.inactive_7_days
143
+ - user.inactive_14_days
144
+ - usage.weekly_summary
145
+ - milestone.reached
146
+ ```
147
+
148
+ Replace `{key_feature_*}` and `{feature_name}` placeholders with the actual features from Step 1.
149
+
150
+ Present the taxonomy and ask: "Does this look right? What would you add, remove, or rename?"
151
+
152
+ Also propose relevant tags for their business:
153
+
154
+ - **source tags** - How users are acquired (organic, referral, partner integrations)
155
+ - **plan tags** - Subscription tiers from their pricing model
156
+ - **segment tags** - Behavioral segments (new, power-user, dormant, churning)
157
+ - **feature tags** - One per key feature
158
+
159
+ ---
160
+
161
+ ## Step 5: Existing System Audit (PATH B Only)
162
+
163
+ This step only applies when the user chose PATH B (improving existing messaging). This is the deep-dive into what they currently have.
164
+
165
+ ### 5a. Current Setup Description
166
+
167
+ Ask:
168
+
169
+ > "Describe your current lifecycle messaging setup. You can:
170
+ > - Paste your messages (subject lines + body text)
171
+ > - Upload a document or spreadsheet with your current matrix
172
+ > - Describe it in natural language (e.g., 'We have a 5-email welcome series, a trial expiring email, and a weekly digest')
173
+ > - Tell me what tool you use (Intercom, Customer.io, HubSpot, etc.) and I'll ask the right questions
174
+ > - Any combination of the above"
175
+
176
+ Parse whatever format they provide. For each existing message, extract:
177
+ - Subject/title
178
+ - Channel (email, in-app, push, SMS)
179
+ - Approximate timing/trigger
180
+ - Content summary
181
+ - Any known performance data
182
+
183
+ ### 5b. Performance & Problems
184
+
185
+ Ask:
186
+
187
+ > "What's working and what isn't? Share any data you have:
188
+ > - Open rates, click rates, conversion rates
189
+ > - Which messages get complaints or unsubscribes
190
+ > - Anecdotal feedback from users
191
+ > - What problems are you trying to solve? (e.g., 'too many users churn after trial', 'nobody uses feature X', 'our day 5 email has high unsubscribes')"
192
+
193
+ Record:
194
+ - Average open rate, click rate, conversion rate (if available)
195
+ - Problem areas with specific messages
196
+ - General challenges they're facing
197
+
198
+ ### 5c. Goals
199
+
200
+ Ask:
201
+
202
+ > "What's your #1 thing you want to improve?"
203
+ >
204
+ > - **Activation** - Getting new users to their aha moment
205
+ > - **Conversion** - Free to paid / trial to paid
206
+ > - **Retention** - Keeping users engaged and reducing churn
207
+ > - **Expansion** - Upsells, cross-sells, seat growth
208
+ > - **Reducing churn** - Stopping users from leaving
209
+ > - **Something else?**
210
+
211
+ Record their primary goal. This will drive prioritization in the matrix generation.
212
+
213

214
+
215
+ ## Output: analysis.json
216
+
217
+ After completing all steps, write the analysis to the project output directory as `analysis.json`.
218
+
219
+ Determine the project output directory by:
220
+ 1. Looking for an existing `mango-lollipop.json` config file in the current working directory or `output/` subdirectories
221
+ 2. If none exists, ask the user for the project name and use `output/{project-name}/`
222
+ 3. Create the directory structure if it doesn't exist: `output/{project-name}/messages/{TX,AQ,AC,RV,RT,RF}/`
223
+
224
+ Write `analysis.json` with this schema:
225
+
226
+ ```json
227
+ {
228
+ "path": "fresh | existing",
229
+ "company": {
230

+ Also update the `mango-lollipop.json` config file in the project directory to set `stage: "analyzed"` and `path` to the chosen path.
