Project Structure

Core Components

SKILL.md (Main Orchestrator)

• Handles intake and routing
• Manages client profile lookup/creation
• Performs self-evaluation before delivery
• Tracks revision loop (every 3rd session)

Sub-Skills (Six Specialists) Each sub-skill has its own SKILL.md with specialist instructions:

• brand-strategy-icp/ — ICP profiles, positioning, brand voice
• ad-copy-paid-media/ — Platform ads with character limits
• content-creation/ — Blogs, social posts, email sequences
• repurpose/ — Multi-platform content adaptation
• campaign-mode/ — Full campaign architecture
• github-deploy/ — Git setup for non-developers

References

• references/revision-log.md — Session log for improvement tracking
• references/client-profiles/ — Persistent client context

How to Use

Starting a Session

The orchestrator automatically handles routing. User says:

"I need Google Ads copy for a new SaaS product"

Orchestrator:

1. Checks for existing client profile in references/client-profiles/{client-name}.md
2. If new, asks intake questions (company name, industry, target audience, etc.)
3. Routes to ad-copy-paid-media sub-skill
4. Sub-skill generates output
5. Self-evaluates against rubric (audience fit, clarity, voice, format, goal alignment)
6. Logs session to references/revision-log.md
7. Delivers final output with quality check signal

Client Profile Format

Client profiles are saved as:

references/client-profiles/acme-corp.md

Example profile structure:

# Acme Corp

**Industry:** B2B SaaS
**Target Audience:** Mid-market operations managers
**Brand Voice:** Professional, data-driven, empathetic
**Key Pain Points:** Manual workflows, data silos
**Unique Value Prop:** All-in-one automation without IT dependency

## Past Projects
- 2026-04-15: Google Ads campaign (5 ad variants)
- 2026-05-02: Blog post series (productivity tips)

## Notes
- Avoid technical jargon
- Emphasize ROI and time savings

Revision Loop

Every third session, the orchestrator prompts:

"📊 Revision reminder: It's been 3 sessions. Would you like me to analyze 
the revision log and suggest an improvement?"

If user accepts:

1. Reads references/revision-log.md
2. Identifies most frequent pattern (e.g., "intake questions too long")
3. Proposes specific fix
4. Updates relevant sub-skill after approval
5. Logs change with version bump

Revision Log Format

# Revision Log

## Version 1.2.0 (2026-05-17)
- Reduced brand-strategy intake from 8 to 5 questions

Key Workflows

1. Brand Strategy with Document Export

User request:

"Create an ICP profile and positioning doc for my coaching business"

Sub-skill output includes:

• Structured ICP with demographics, psychographics, pain points
• Positioning framework (category, audience, problem, solution, differentiation)
• Brand voice guide with tone attributes and examples
• Downloadable Word doc with formatted sections

The sub-skill automatically structures content for .docx export via Claude's artifact system.

2. Ad Copy with Platform Constraints

User request:

"Write Meta Ads for a webinar registration campaign"

Output includes:

## Ad Variant A
**Primary Text (125 chars):** Join 500+ marketers mastering AI workflows. 
Free webinar May 30. Save your seat →

**Headline (40 chars):** Master AI Marketing in 60 Minutes

**Description (30 chars):** Live Q&A included. No replay.

---

**Character Counts:**
- Primary: 125/125 ✅
- Headline: 32/40 ✅
- Description: 29/30 ✅

Platform limits are enforced during generation.

3. Multi-Platform Repurposing

User provides source content (e.g., blog post) and target platforms:

"Repurpose this blog post for LinkedIn, Twitter, and Instagram"

Sub-skill generates:

• LinkedIn: Professional narrative (1200-1500 chars), hashtags, engagement hook
• Twitter: Thread format (280 chars/tweet), optimized for retweets
• Instagram: Visual-first caption, story-friendly formatting

Each is rewritten natively for platform, not truncated.

4. Full Campaign Mode

User request:

"Plan a product launch campaign for a new app feature"

Campaign Mode sub-skill:

1. Defines campaign architecture (awareness → consideration → conversion)
2. Lists all deliverables in funnel sequence
3. Creates each asset with connecting narrative thread
4. Generates launch checklist with dates and owners

Example output structure:

# Campaign Architecture

**Goal:** 500 beta signups in 2 weeks
**Funnel:** Teaser posts → Feature explainer → Signup CTA

## Deliverables (in sequence)
1. Teaser email (1 week before)
2. LinkedIn announcement post (launch day)
3. Demo video script (launch day)
4. Retargeting ad copy (days 3-7)
5. Follow-up email (1 week after)

[Full copy for each deliverable follows]

## Launch Checklist
- [ ] Load email into ESP (Day -1)
- [ ] Schedule LinkedIn post (Day 0, 9am)
- [ ] Activate retargeting ads (Day 3)

5. GitHub Deploy for Non-Developers

User request:

"Help me set up GitHub for my marketing files"

Sub-skill provides:

# Step 1: Create GitHub account at github.com

# Step 2: Install Git
# macOS:
brew install git

# Windows:
# Download from git-scm.com

# Step 3: Configure Git
git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email "your.email@example.com"

# Step 4: Create repository on GitHub (via web UI)
# Repository name: marketing-files
# Visibility: Private

# Step 5: Initialize local folder
cd ~/Documents/marketing-files
git init
git remote add origin https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/marketing-files.git

# Step 6: First commit
git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit"
git push -u origin main

# Daily workflow:
git add .
git commit -m "Updated campaign docs"
git push

Includes troubleshooting for common errors (authentication, branch naming, merge conflicts).

Self-Evaluation Rubric

Before delivering output, the orchestrator evaluates against:

1. Audience Fit: Does this match the client's target audience profile?
2. Clarity: Is the language clear and jargon-appropriate?
3. Voice Consistency: Does it match the client's brand voice?
4. Platform Format: Does it meet platform-specific requirements (char limits, structure)?
5. Goal Alignment: Does it directly support the stated objective?

Outputs are silently revised if any category fails. Final delivery includes:

✅ Quality check: Passed all rubric categories

Configuration

Custom Sub-Skill

To add a new specialist route:

1. Create folder: sub-skills/new-specialist/
2. Add SKILL.md with specialist instructions:

# New Specialist Sub-Skill

## Scope
Handles [specific marketing task category]

## Intake Questions
- Question 1
- Question 2

## Output Format
[Structured template]

## Self-Evaluation Focus
[Task-specific quality criteria]

3. Update main SKILL.md routing logic to include new route trigger phrases

Environment Variables

For API integrations (not included in base skill):

export OPENAI_API_KEY=your_key_here
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your_key_here

Troubleshooting

Client Profile Not Loading

Symptom: Orchestrator asks intake questions for returning client

Fix:

1. Check filename matches client name (kebab-case): acme-corp.md
2. Verify file location: references/client-profiles/acme-corp.md
3. Confirm markdown syntax is valid

Revision Log Not Tracking

Symptom: No entries appear in references/revision-log.md

Fix:

1. Ensure file exists at references/revision-log.md
2. Check file permissions (must be writable)
3. Verify orchestrator is logging at end of each session

Sub-Skill Not Routing

Symptom: Wrong specialist handles request

Fix:

1. Check user request includes clear trigger words (e.g., "ad copy", "campaign", "repurpose")
2. Review routing logic in main SKILL.md
3. If ambiguous, orchestrator should ask clarifying question before routing

Common Patterns

Pattern: Resume Previous Session

User returns with:

"Continue working on the Acme Corp campaign from last week"

Orchestrator:

1. Loads references/client-profiles/acme-corp.md
2. Reads "Past Projects" section for context
3. Confirms campaign details with user
4. Routes to appropriate sub-skill

Pattern: Batch Content Request

User:

"Create 5 LinkedIn posts about remote work productivity"

Orchestrator routes to content-creation, which:

1. Generates all 5 posts in single session
2. Ensures variety in hooks and formats
3. Numbers each post for easy reference
4. Offers to add to content calendar

Pattern: Quick Edit

User:

"Make that last ad copy more concise"

Orchestrator:

1. Retrieves previous output from session context
2. Applies edit instruction
3. Re-runs self-evaluation
4. Delivers revised version with quality check

Advanced Usage

Chaining Multiple Routes

User:

"Create a brand voice guide, then write 3 ads using that voice"

Orchestrator:

1. Routes to brand-strategy-icp first
2. Saves output to client profile under "Brand Voice" section
3. Routes to ad-copy-paid-media with voice guide context
4. Generates ads conforming to established voice

Export Formats

For document-heavy routes (Brand Strategy, Campaign Mode):

• Orchestrator structures output for Claude's artifact system
• User can download as .docx, .md, or .pdf
• Formatting includes headers, bullet lists, tables

Testing the Skill

Test 1: New Client Intake

User: "I need a blog post about AI in healthcare"
Expected: Intake questions → content-creation route → quality check

Test 2: Returning Client

User: "Create another ad set for Acme Corp"
Expected: Auto-load profile → ad-copy route → no redundant questions

Test 3: Revision Loop

After 3rd session, expected: "📊 Revision reminder..." prompt
User: "Yes, analyze the log"
Expected: Pattern analysis → proposed fix → update confirmation
