A planning document for turning a direct-response advertising strategy into instructions for a creative team. It describes what to make, who it is for, why it should work, and how success will be judged.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to brief creative work for acquisition, retargeting, retention, launch, or seasonal campaigns across channels such as Meta, YouTube, email, TikTok, native, and display.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

creative-brief scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

creative-brief

Purpose

Generate a strategic creative brief that translates RMBC strategy into actionable creative direction. This is the document you hand to a designer, videographer, or creative team so they produce assets aligned with the direct response strategy. It answers: what are we making, for whom, why will it work, and what does success look like.

Inputs

Input Required Description
product_description Yes What the product is, what it does, key features/ingredients/components
target_audience Yes Who the prospect is — demographics, pain points, desires, awareness level
campaign_objective Yes Primary goal: acquisition, retargeting, retention, launch, seasonal
key_mechanism Yes The product's unique mechanism (output from /mechanism-ideation)
channels Yes Target channels: meta, youtube, native, email, tiktok, display (comma-separated)
budget_range No Monthly media spend — affects creative ambition and format recommendations

Execution Protocol

Step 1 — Load Framework Context

Read rmbc-context/SKILL.md to load RMBC framework definitions. The creative brief is the Brief (B) phase made tangible — it distills Research, Mechanism, and strategic intent into a document a non-copywriter can execute from.

Step 2 — Define Campaign Context

Determine:

  • Awareness level of the target audience on this channel
  • Traffic temperature — cold (prospecting), warm (retargeting), hot (retention)
  • Creative format constraints per channel (aspect ratios, durations, file types)
  • Competitive landscape — what the audience is already seeing from competitors

Step 3 — Build Brief Sections

A. Campaign Objective

One sentence: what this campaign must achieve. Quantify when possible ("acquire 500 new customers at $45 CPA" not "grow the business").

B. Target Audience Profile
  • Demographics (age, gender, location, income)
  • Psychographics (beliefs, fears, aspirations, language patterns)
  • Current behavior (what they're doing now instead of buying)
  • Awareness level and what that means for creative approach
