## Parameter Handling

### --guidance Parameter

**Purpose**: Provide upfront direction to tailor creative priorities and approach

**Examples**:
```bash
--guidance "Minimalist aesthetic, focus on product photography over lifestyle"
--guidance "Tight 2-week deadline, prioritize hero assets first"
--guidance "Must appeal to Gen Z, TikTok-first approach"
--guidance "Accessibility critical, WCAG AAA target"
```

**How Applied**:
- Parse guidance for keywords: style, timeline, audience, platform, accessibility
- Adjust visual direction emphasis based on stated preferences
- Modify deliverable priorities based on timeline constraints
- Influence tone and messaging based on audience focus

### --interactive Parameter

**Purpose**: Guide through discovery questions to build comprehensive brief

**Questions Asked** (if --interactive):
1. What are the primary objectives for this creative?
2. Who is the target audience? (demographics, psychographics)
3. What key messages must be communicated?
4. Are there visual references or style examples to follow?
5. What are the mandatory brand elements?
6. What restrictions or constraints apply?
7. What is the budget and timeline?
8. Who needs to approve the final deliverables?
