| name | Bond Halbert - Ultimate Copywriting Mastery |
| description | Executes Bond Halbert's 47-year direct-response copywriting system — market research, velocity-optimized copy creation, and complete campaign architecture from the son and protege of Gary Halbert (founder of the modern DR copy lineage). Use when building full direct-response campaigns (sales letter + email sequence + ad), running deep market research before writing copy, optimizing existing copy for measurable velocity gains (CTR, conversion, AOV), or applying old-school DR fundamentals that modern copywriters skip. Trigger proactively whenever the user says "direct response", "sales letter", "DR copy", "Gary Halbert", "market research for copy", or wants to know "what would actually work in the mail". For online-native dopamine-copy mechanics use stefan-georgi-dopamine-copy; for high-stakes financial promos use chris-cimorelli-copywriting. |

Quick Reference
Note on "market research": The market workflow's research is Halbert-style — living in the market, reading the prospect's internal dialogue — not live web/data retrieval. This skill does NOT fetch market data. If you need grounded market claims (real VOC, stats, competitor proof), run /copy-engine ground or python3 execution/research.py "<query>" --depth quick|standard|deep|max first, then feed the findings in. Do not present this skill's output as "market-researched" on its own.
