CRO Optimization Purpose Analyze a landing page and deliver a comprehensive CRO audit with specific, actionable recommendations to maximize conversions. Execution Logic Check $ARGUMENTS first to determine execution mode: If $ARGUMENTS is empty or not provided: Respond with: "cro optimization loaded, provide your landing page URL or paste your HTML/CSS code" Then wait for the user to provide their landing page in the next message. If $ARGUMENTS contains content: Proceed immediately to Task Execution (skip the "loaded" message). Task Execution When landing page is available (either from initial $ARGUMENTS or follow up message): 1. MANDATORY: Read Reference Files FIRST BLOCKING REQUIREMENT — DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP Before doing ANYTHING else, you MUST use the Read tool to read ALL three reference files: What you will find: cro principles.md : 13 core CRO principles with detection criteria and fix patterns landing page patterns.md : Real patterns from high converting pages (ClickUp, Notion, Stripe, Apple, etc.) organized by category element audit framework.md : Systematic framework for auditing HTML elements, CTAs, forms, and visual hierarchy DO NOT PROCEED to Step 2 until you have read all files and have the principles, patterns, and audit framework loaded in context. 2. Check for Business Context Check if FOUNDER CONTEXT.md exists in the project root. If it exists: Read it and use the business context to personalize recommendations (industry, target audience, product type, competitors). If it doesn't exist: Proceed with analysis based on page content alone. 3. Fetch and Extract Landing Page If user provided a URL: Use WebFetch to retrieve the landing page content Extract and catalog key elements (see Element Extraction below) If user provided HTML/CSS directly: Analyze the provided code directly Note any missing context (live styling, images, etc.) 4. Element Extraction Extract and catalog these elements from the page: Typography: H1 (should be exactly one) H2s (section headers) Body text samples CTA button copy Visual Structure: Above the fold content Section sequence Image/visual placement Color scheme and contrast Conversion Elements: Primary CTA (copy, placement, design) Secondary CTAs Forms (field count, labels) Trust signals (logos, testimonials, badges) Social proof (metrics, reviews, case studies) Technical: Mobile responsiveness indicators Load speed concerns (large images, etc.) 5. Audit Against CRO Principles For each of the 13 principles in cro principles.md: 1. Check if the page violates the principle 2. Note specific violations with evidence 3. Determine severity (High/Medium/Low) 4. Draft specific recommendations Prioritize by impact: High: Above fold clarity, CTA effectiveness, major trust gaps Medium: Objection handling, visual hierarchy, scannability Low: Minor copy tweaks, nice to have additions 6. Compare to High Converting Patterns Using landing page patterns.md: 1. Identify the most relevant category (B2B SaaS, E commerce, etc.) 2. Compare page structure to proven patterns 3. Note missing elements that top performers include 4. Identify opportunities to adopt successful patterns 7. Generate Recommendations For each issue found, provide: 1. What to change — specific element and action 2. Why it matters — principle violated and expected impact 3. How to implement — concrete example or rewrite 4. Priority — High/Medium/Low with reasoning 8. Format and Verify Structure output according to Output Format section Complete Quality Checklist self verification Ensure recommendations are specific and actionable (not generic advice) Writing Rules Hard constraints. No interpretation. Core Rules Every recommendation must be specific and actionable Include before/after examples for copy changes Reference the specific principle violated Prioritize by conversion impact, not ease of implementation Frame changes as testable hypotheses when possible Never recommend changes without explaining the "why" Analysis Rules Audit systematically — don't skip principles Note what's working well, not just problems Consider the page's apparent target audience Account for likely traffic sources Distinguish between critical issues and optimizations Recommendation Rules Lead with highest impact changes Group related recommendations together Provide specific copy rewrites, not just "make it clearer" Include placement suggestions, not just content suggestions Consider mobile experience separately Output Format BEFORE: [Current copy/element] AFTER: [Recommended copy/element] BEFORE: [Current] AFTER: [Recommended] References All three files MUST be read using the Read tool before analysis (see Step 1): File Purpose ./references/cro principles.md 13 CRO principles with detection criteria, fix patterns, and violation symptoms ./references/landing page patterns.md Real patterns from ClickUp, Notion, Stripe, Apple, Shopify, etc. organized by category ./references/element audit framework.md Systematic framework for auditing H1s, CTAs, forms, social proof, visual hierarchy Why all three matter: Principles tell you what's wrong. Patterns show you what good looks like. The audit framework ensures you check everything systematically. Together they produce specific, evidence based recommendations instead of generic CRO advice. Quality Checklist (Self Verification) Before finalizing output, verify ALL of the following: Pre Analysis Check [ ] I read ./references/cro principles.md before analyzing [ ] I read ./references/landing page patterns.md before analyzing [ ] I read ./references/element audit framework.md before analyzing [ ] I have all 13 principles, category patterns, and audit criteria in context Extraction Check [ ] I identified the H1 and assessed its clarity [ ] I catalogued all CTAs and their copy [ ] I noted social proof elements and placement [ ] I evaluated above the fold content [ ] I assessed the section sequence Analysis Check [ ] Each principle was evaluated against the page [ ] Issues cite specific principles violated [ ] Recommendations include before/after examples [ ] Priority is assigned based on conversion impact [ ] I compared to relevant high converting patterns Output Check [ ] Executive summary captures key findings [ ] Critical issues are listed first [ ] Every recommendation is specific and actionable [ ] Testing roadmap provides clear next steps [ ] "What's working well" section is included If ANY check fails → revise before presenting. Defaults & Assumptions Use these unless context indicates otherwise: Page type: SaaS landing page (most common) Traffic temperature: Mixed (cold to warm) Primary goal: Signups or demo requests Audience: Business decision makers Device split: 60% desktop, 40% mobile Conversion definition: Primary CTA click If the page type is clearly different (e commerce, content site, etc.), adjust analysis accordingly. Document any assumptions made in the Executive Summary.
