How to write unique, high-converting TPT product listing HTML descriptions for math book bundles. Use when asked to write or generate TPT bundle descriptions, bundle listings, or bundle product descriptions for any bundle type × state combination.
Writing TPT Bundle Descriptions
Write unique HTML product descriptions for Teachers Pay Teachers (TPT) bundles. Each description is for a specific math bundle (a set of books) for a specific US state. Every description must be unique — different structure, different phrasing, different hooks — while keeping all facts correct.
There are 6 bundle types × 50 states = 300 descriptions total. No two should read the same.
Key fact: The four practice test books (3, 5, 7, and 10 editions) contain 25 completely different, non-overlapping tests with 750 total questions. No repeated questions across any edition. This must be mentioned prominently in every bundle that includes practice tests.
Step 1 — Get the Facts
Run this script to get every fact you need for a specific bundle × state:
The script outputs everything: bundle title, books included with one-liners, state name, curriculum & exam info, chapter summaries, key selling points, use cases, how books work together, cross-sell, and the save path.
Do not make up any facts. Everything comes from the script output.
Step 2 — Write the HTML Description
Using the facts from Step 1, write a complete HTML product description following the rules below.
Step 3 — Save the File
Save the description to the path shown in the script output:
python3 .agents/skills/writing-tpt-bundles-descriptions/scripts/generate_bundle_thumbnails.py practice_tests_bundle texas
python3 .agents/skills/writing-tpt-bundles-descriptions/scripts/generate_bundle_thumbnails.py complete_series_bundle california
Requires: Pillow (pip install Pillow)
The script creates 4 JPEG thumbnails (2048×2048) in the same folder as the HTML:
<state_slug>_thumbnail_1.jpeg — All books in the bundle
<state_slug>_thumbnail_2.jpeg — First subset of books
<state_slug>_thumbnail_3.jpeg — Second subset
<state_slug>_thumbnail_4.jpeg — Third subset
For example, the 11-book Complete Series bundle splits into: all 11 → first 4 → next 4 → last 3.
The cover images are in images/covers/ and are shared across all states (not state-specific). The thumbnails are the same for every state within the same bundle type — but the script still takes a state slug to name the output files correctly.
Step 5 — Generate Preview PDF
Run this script to generate a preview PDF showing sample pages from each book in the bundle:
One sample topic from each book type in the bundle (all from Chapter 1)
For practice test books, one full sample test
For "Math in 30 Days", Day 1
An answer key (if the bundle includes quizzes or practice tests)
A "Get the Full Book" call-to-action page
A diagonal "PREVIEW" watermark on every page
Flags:
--dry-run — generate .tex without compiling
--passes N — number of xelatex passes (default: 2)
--list-bundles — list all bundle types
HTML Formatting Rules
Allowed elements
<p> for paragraphs
<b> for bold text (section headings, key phrases, book names, state names, CTAs)
<i> for occasional emphasis
<ul> and <li> for bullet lists
<a href="..." target="_blank"> for links (footer only)
The star separator line (footer only): <p></p>★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★<p></p>
Forbidden
No <h1>, <h2>, or <h3> — TPT already shows the product title as the page heading.
No <hr> dividers.
No <br> tags — use <p> for spacing.
No inline CSS or style attributes.
No <div>, <span>, or any block-level wrappers.
No tables.
Emoji rule
✅ may only appear as the first character inside <li> bullet points.
Example: <li>✅ Full lessons with clear explanations for every topic</li>
Do not use ✅ anywhere else — not in paragraphs, not in headings.
Spacing
Use <p></p> (empty paragraph) before section headings to create visual space.
Section headings go inside <b> tags within a <p> (or standalone <b> after <p></p>).
HTML comments at the top
Start every description with 3 HTML comment lines:
<!-- {Bundle Title} --><!-- Bundle: {list of books} --><!-- TPT Title: {TPT Title from script} -->
Required Sections
Every description must include all applicable sections. You have complete freedom over the order, heading text, and phrasing — but don't omit any.
1. Opening Paragraph
State what the bundle is. Be direct.
Do NOT include the bundle title as a heading — TPT already displays the product title.
Write 1–2 sentences that say what the bundle contains and why it matters.
Mention the number of books and, if applicable, "25 unique, non-overlapping tests" and "750 questions".
Reference the state exam by name if the state has one.
2. What's in the Bundle
A <ul> listing every book in the bundle with ✅ bullets.
Each <li> should bold the book name and give its one-liner description.
After the list, include a sentence reinforcing that practice test editions contain completely different tests (if the bundle includes them).
3. How the Books Work Together (if provided by script)
For bundles with 2+ non-PT book types, explain how each book serves a different purpose.
Use the "how_books_work_together" data from the script as a starting point.
Show the logical flow: e.g., "Study Guide for concepts → Workbook for practice → Tests for assessment".
Rephrase — don't copy verbatim from the script.
For the Practice Tests bundle (only PTs), skip this section.
For the Complete Series bundle, this section can be a high-level overview rather than per-book.
4. Chapter Coverage (optional, recommended for bundles with 4+ non-PT books)
Show what the books cover using a compact <ul> list of chapters with topic counts.
Must match the script output exactly.
Include total topic count.
Skip for the Practice Tests bundle (test content is strand-based, not chapter-based).
5. Curriculum Alignment
State that the bundle matches the state's curriculum.
Must mention the full curriculum name and acronym (in <b>)
Must mention the exam name and acronym if the state has one (in <b>)
Make it clear this is state-specific — not a generic national resource
Keep the language casual
6. Use Cases
A bullet list showing who this bundle is for and how to use it.
Use ✅ before each <li>
Get them from the script output — rephrase, don't copy verbatim
Make the heading sound natural
7. Every Book Includes (design/quality features)
A short <ul> with 3 bullet points that apply to every book:
Colorful, kid-friendly design with illustrations, diagrams, and a friendly owl mascot
Complete answer keys with explanations
Print-ready — download, print, and use
Rephrase these — don't use the exact same wording every time.
8. Cross-Sell (skip for Complete Series)
Promote the other books/bundles NOT included in this bundle.
Use the cross-sell list from the script output
Each bullet should bold the book name and give a one-liner
Always use ✅ before each <li>
Include a natural intro sentence (from the script's cross_sell_note)
For the Complete Series bundle, skip this section entirely — there's nothing left to cross-sell
9. Closing CTA
1–2 short lines:
First: a brief, punchy summary
Second: a bold call to action (wrapped in <b>)
10. Footer (NEVER MODIFY)
Copy this footer exactly into every description. Replace {Grade} with the actual grade (e.g., "Grade 3", "Grade 8"). Never change any other word, link, or punctuation.

Critical Rules for Practice Tests
For every bundle that includes practice tests (5 out of 6 bundles), you MUST:
State that the 25 tests are unique and non-overlapping — no repeated questions across editions.
Reinforce this at least twice: once in the opening, once in the "What's in the Bundle" section or elsewhere.
Never imply the same questions appear in different editions.
The Activities & Assessments bundle is the only bundle without practice tests — don't mention them in that description.
Uniqueness Requirements
Every description must be unique. This is the most important part.
Vary the structure
Change the order of sections (except: opening always first, footer always last)
Sometimes lead with curriculum alignment, sometimes with the book breakdown
Some descriptions might merge sections (e.g., combine curriculum into the opening)
Vary the headings
Never use the same <b> heading twice across descriptions for the same bundle type. Examples:
Section
Example Headings (create your own too)
What's Included
"What's in the Bundle", "Here's What You Get", "Books Included", "Everything in This Bundle"
How They Work
"How It Works Together", "How Each Book Fits", "The System", "Here's How to Use It"
Chapters
"51 Topics Across 7 Chapters", "What's Covered", "Full Curriculum Breakdown"
Curriculum
"Built for Texas", "Aligned to TEKS", "Written for Texas", "Matches Texas Standards"
Use Cases
"Works For", "Who Uses This Bundle", "Great For", "Who'll Get the Most Out of This"
Quality
"Every Book Includes", "What You Can Expect", "In Every Book"
Cross-sell
"Also in the Series", "Want More?", "Need Lessons Too?", "Looking for More?"
Vary the prose
Use contractions everywhere ("it's", "you'll", "don't", "here's")
Keep sentences short. Mix punchy statements with slightly longer ones.
Be direct. State what the bundle does plainly.
Talk to the reader. Use "you" and "your students".
Vary paragraph lengths — some sections one sentence, others 2–3.
Rephrase selling points and use cases — don't copy them verbatim from the script.
Tone & Voice
This should read like a real human wrote it. Think of a teacher telling a colleague about a resource they actually like.
Do This
Be brief. Opening: 1–2 sentences max. People scan product listings.
Use contractions. "It's", "you'll", "they're", "don't".
Keep sentences short. No semicolons with two subordinate clauses.
Be direct. "This bundle gives you everything for {grade} math."
Talk to the reader. Use "you" and "your students".
Don't Do This
No storytelling. Don't write "Imagine walking into your classroom..." Just state what the bundle does.
No padding. If a sentence adds no information, cut it.
No corporate buzzwords. Never write "proven learning sequence", "carefully curated", "drives instruction", "transforms", "nothing left to chance".
No flowery filler. Cut "something priceless", "exceptional", "unparalleled", "powerhouse".
No marketing formulas. Don't open with "pain point → solution → call to action".
Never use "proven". Say what the bundle does and let people decide.
No robotic parallel structure. "Learn → See → Do" sounds manufactured.
