## What it does

The skill fires when you ask for an influencer brief or a campaign brief. You get a document with eight sections: campaign overview, key messages, deliverables, creative direction, timeline, disclosure requirements, compensation and contact. The template shifts by platform — TikTok leans on hooks and sounds, Instagram on Reels, Stories or feed, YouTube on integrations and Shorts. Campaign type matters too: launch, review, event, ambassador or giveaway.

No live integrations are required. The skill runs on your inputs alone: campaign details, deliverables, messages, timeline, payment. An influencer database, social platform analytics and a CRM can enrich the brief when connected, but none of them are needed to finish one. Key messages come from accepted narrative canon, and claims are checked against context — audience, market, media and offer window have to match. Without usable canon you get an explicitly approved exploratory brief, never one labelled creator-ready.

Unresolved wording is marked `[needs source]`, and the creator-ready status stays off until you close it. Saving to `memory/influencer/brief-generator/YYYY-MM-DD-<topic>.md` happens only with exact permission. Saved copies keep opaque references instead of raw names, addresses and contacts. Delivery to the creator waits for a separate send approval.
