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

ad-creative-methods 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 1mo 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.

What it actually says

创意方法论

目标:解释策略,并找到最有效的传递方式。创意方法论不是为了“多想几个点子”,而是帮助策略被客户、消费者和媒介环境更快理解、更愿意相信、更容易传播。

Before Ideation

读取 references/creative-method-library.md。先选择思考流派,再选择具体方法卡:

  • 华与华:把策略变成符号、购买理由、货架动作和可传播话语。
  • 奥美/Deck of Brilliance:用 52 张创意方法卡从不同角度解释策略。
  • 麦肯锡:把策略变成客户能买单的结论、证据和推演链。
  • 群玉山:把品牌放进公共议题、社会角色和时代叙事里。

Inputs

  • 策略观点或核心洞察。
  • 品牌调性、禁区、渠道、目标人群、内容形式。
  • 若策略观点很弱,先建议回到 $ad-insight-reviewer。

Workflow

  1. 复述策略:用一句话说清楚“我们要让谁相信什么”。
  2. 判断传递难点:用户不信、不懂、不记得、不愿意行动,还是客户不愿意买单。
  3. 选择思考流派:按项目目的选 2-4 个流派,不要机械全用。
  4. 套用方法卡:每个流派至少产出 2-3 个创意解释方向。
  5. 评估有效性:判断哪个方向最能让策略被理解、记住、转述、购买。

Output Format

| 思考流派 | 方法卡 | 创意解释方向 | 如何传递策略 | 为什么成立 | 适合形式 | 风险 | |---|---|---|---|---|---|

Quality Bar

  • 不直接输出广告语;先说明“这套创意如何解释策略”。
  • 不接受“打造年轻人的情绪陪伴”“重新定义每一天”这类通用表达。
  • 每个方向必须能回答:它让消费者理解了什么?记住了什么?愿意做什么?
  • 说明方法论选择与当前策略任务的适配关系,而不是只给结果或机械套用全部流派。

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
