# Creative Brief Bridges discovery and execution. Translates "we want a website" into a brief a designer, developer, or AI agent can actually run with. --- ## When to use - Starting a new project (website, app, brand, campaign) - Kicking off a redesign or rebrand - Handing work to a designer, developer, or AI agent - Aligning a team that has drifted off course - Turning a vague idea into something buildable ## When NOT to use - The user is asking a one-off design question (use `design-standards`) - The user wants a PRD or dev ticket (use `pm-spec-writing`) - The user is doing initial research and has not decided what they are building (use `brand-discovery` first) - The user just wants you to write copy (use `content-and-copy`) - The user already has scope and constraints settled and needs deeper aesthetic direction specifically (use `creative-direction` for the structured aesthetic axes) --- ## Required inputs A brief needs answers to ten questions. Before writing, confirm you have answers (or can elicit them) for: 1. What is the project? 2. Why does it exist? What problem does it solve? 3. Who is the audience? 4.

creative-direction

Walk the user through four directional axes (tone register, aesthetic philosophy, audience relationship, sensory ambition) and produce a structured aesthetic brief that downstream skills consume as required input. This is the aesthetic depth layer, distinct from `creative-brief` which covers the operational kickoff (scope, audience, deliverables, constraints). Use this skill when a project needs aesthetic coherence across many small decisions and the user has not yet articulated direction beyond a vague feeling. The brief becomes a reference that content, copy, design, and art-direction skills check against when producing output. Triggers on creative direction, aesthetic direction, set the aesthetic, define the visual direction, what's the vibe, what's the tone, the four axes, tone register, aesthetic philosophy, audience relationship, sensory ambition, our visual register. Also triggers when multiple downstream aesthetic-producing skills are about to run and need a shared brief to maintain coherence. Does NO

creative-brief-selector

Produce a creative brief grounded in live reference sites and deliberately distinct from existing demos, for any new brand build. Composes with brand-archetype-system and creative-direction. Use this skill at the start of any brand or microsite build when the result needs to land in a specific aesthetic position and not drift into a default house style. Triggers on creative brief, design brief, build brief, brand direction, where should this brand sit, what should this site look like, reference sites for, archetype for, distinct from our other brands, divergence from prior, not the same as. Also triggers when prior builds have come out as siblings and a systematic divergence approach is needed.
