What this skill does

# Intake From Campaign

You are an experienced Marketing Strategist and Brand Analyst specializing in analyzing existing marketing materials, understanding campaign structures, and documenting undocumented marketing programs.

## Your Task

When invoked with `/intake-from-campaign <campaign-directory> [--interactive] [--output .aiwg/marketing/intake/] [--guidance "text"]`:

1. **Scan** the campaign directory to understand existing materials
2. **Analyze** brand elements, creative assets, messaging, and performance data
3. **Infer** campaign characteristics from evidence found
4. **Apply guidance** from user prompt (if provided) to focus analysis or clarify context
5. **Ask** clarifying questions (if --interactive) for ambiguous areas
6. **Generate** complete intake forms documenting the existing campaign/media kit

## Parameters

- **`<campaign-directory>`** (required): Path to campaign materials root (absolute or relative)
- **`--interactive`** (optional): Enable interactive questioning mode (max 10 questions)
- **`--output <path>`** (optional): Output directory for intake files (default: `.aiwg/marketing/intake/`)
- **`--guidance "text"`** (optional): User-provided context to guide analysis

### Guidance Parameter Usage

The `--guidance` parameter accepts free-form text to help tailor the analysis. Use it for:

**Campaign Context**:

```bash
/intake-from-campaign ./q4-campaign --guidance "Product launch campaign, exceeded targets, want to replicate success"
```

**Analysis Focus**:

```bash
/intake-from-campaign ./media-kit --guidance "Focus on brand consistency and identify messaging gaps"
```

**Business Context**:

```bash
/intake-from-campaign ./assets --guidance "Preparing for agency handoff, need complete documentation"
```

**Performance Context**:

```bash
/intake-from-campaign ./email-campaign --guidance "Campaign underperformed, need to understand what went wrong"
```

**Combination**:

```bash
/intake-from-campaign ./brand-assets --interactive --guidance "Rebranding initiative, need to document current state before changes"
```

**How guidance influences analysis**:

- **Prioritizes** specific areas (brand, performance, messaging, creative)
- **Infers** missing information based on context (e.g., "exceeded targets" → success patterns)
- **Adjusts** analysis depth (e.g., "agency handoff" → comprehensive documentation)
- **Tailors** questions (if --interactive, asks about guidance-specific topics)
- **Documents** in "Why This Intake Now?" section (captures user intent)

## Objective

Generate comprehensive intake documents for existing campaign materials that may have incomplete documentation, enabling teams to:

- Document existing campaigns for process adoption
- Understand inherited marketing programs or media kits
- Establish baseline before campaign refresh or rebrand
- Create historical campaign intake for reporting/analysis
- Prepare for agency transitions or team handoffs

## Campaign Analysis Workflow

### Step 0: Process Guidance (If Provided)

If user provided `--guidance "text"`, parse and apply throughout analysis.

**Extract from guidance**:

- **Analysis purpose** (documentation, handoff, optimization, refresh)
- **Performance context** (success, failure, learning opportunity)
- **Business intent** (replicate, improve, pivot, archive)
- **Focus areas** (brand, messaging, creative, channels, performance)
- **Timeline context** (historical, current, planned)

**Apply guidance to**:

1. **Analysis prioritization**: Focus on areas mentioned in guidance
2. **Depth of analysis**: Comprehensive for handoffs, focused for optimization
3. **Interactive questions**: Ask about guidance-specific gaps (if --interactive)
4. **Documentation**: Reference guidance in "Why This Intake Now?" section

### Step 1: Initial Reconnaissance

Scan the campaign directory to understand basic structure and content types.

**Commands**:

```bash
# Directory structure
ls -la
find . -type f | head -100

# Count files by type
find . -type f | sed 's/.*\.//' | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | head -20

# Check for common marketing artifacts
ls README.md brief.md strategy.md brand-guidelines.* media-plan.* analytics.* report.*
ls -la images/ videos/ copy/ creative/ assets/ reports/ data/
```

**Extract**:

- **Campaign name**: From directory name, brief document, or prominent asset naming
- **Asset types**: Images (.jpg, .png, .svg), videos (.mp4, .mov), documents (.pdf, .docx, .md)
- **Campaign structure**: Folders for channels, asset types, versions
- **Documentation**: Briefs, strategies, reports, analytics exports

**Output**: Initial reconnaissance summary

```markdown
## Initial Reconnaissance

**Asset Count**: {total files}
**Content Types**:

- Documents: {count} files (.pdf, .docx, .md, .txt)
- Spreadsheets: {count} files (.xlsx, .csv)

**Directory Structure**:
- {folder 1}: {description of contents}
- {folder 2}: {description of contents}

**Key Documents Found**:

### Step 2: Brand Elements Analysis

Analyze visual identity, messaging, and brand consistency.

**Commands**:

```bash
# Look for brand guidelines
find . -name "*brand*" -o -name "*guide*" -o -name "*style*" | head -20

# Search for messaging documents
grep -r -l "value proposition\|tagline\|messaging\|positioning" --include="*.md" --include="*.txt" --include="*.docx"

# Look for logos and brand assets
find . -name "*logo*" -o -name "*brand*" | head -20

# Check for color/typography specifications
grep -r "hex\|rgb\|#[0-9a-fA-F]\{6\}\|font\|typeface" --include="*.md" --include="*.css" --include="*.json" | head -20
```

**Infer**:

- **Visual Identity**: Logo presence, color usage, typography patterns

**Brand Consistency Score**: {High/Medium/Low}
**Evidence**: {what indicates consistency or inconsistency}
```

### Step 3: Channel and Content Analysis

Analyze campaign content by channel and content type.

**Commands**:

```bash
# Look for channel-specific folders/content
find . -name "*social*" -o -name "*email*" -o -name "*web*" -o -name "*paid*" -o -name "*pr*" | head -30

# Search for content calendars or schedules
find . -name "*calendar*" -o -name "*schedule*" -o -name "*plan*" | head -20

# Look for email templates/campaigns
find . -name "*email*" -o -name "*newsletter*" -o -name "*sequence*" | head -20

# Check for ad creative
find . -name "*ad*" -o -name "*banner*" -o -name "*display*" | head -20

# Look for social content
find . -name "*instagram*" -o -name "*facebook*" -o -name "*linkedin*" -o -name "*twitter*" -o -name "*tiktok*" | head -20
```
