Pages: Disclosure

Guides disclosure pages for affiliate links, sponsored content, and paid partnerships. Required for FTC compliance (US) and similar regulations. Builds trust and reduces legal risk.

When invoking: On first use, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On subsequent use or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.

Initial Assessment

Check for project context first: If .claude/project-context.md or .cursor/project-context.md exists, read it for affiliate/partnership model.

Identify:

1. Type: Affiliate, sponsored, paid partnership, referral
2. Scope: Site-wide, specific pages, or both
3. Regions: US (FTC), EU, other
4. Placement: Standalone page; link from footer, near affiliate content

Page Structure

Section	Purpose
Headline	"Disclosure" or "Affiliate Disclosure"
Summary	We may earn from qualifying purchases; links may be affiliate
Details	How it works; what we recommend; no extra cost to you
Transparency	We only recommend products we believe in
Contact	Questions; link to contact

Best Practices

• Clear and conspicuous: Not buried; visible near affiliate content
• Before the click: Disclosure before user clicks affiliate link
• Plain language: "We may earn a commission" not legalese

Placement

• Footer link: "Disclosure" in every page footer
• Near content: Short disclosure above/below affiliate sections
• Standalone page: Full disclosure at /disclosure

Content

• Honest: Explain relationship; no misleading claims
• Concise: One page; avoid excessive length
• Update: When model changes

Output Format

• Headline and summary
• Full disclosure copy
• Placement guidance (footer, in-content)
• Legal note (consult lawyer for jurisdiction)
