## What it does

The skill scopes the campaign by gathering facts about the product and target market. Without a product link or photo, it stops and will not proceed. It passes collected data down to research skills: `analyzing-products`, `analyzing-brand`, `analyzing-own-ads`, and `researching-competitor-ads`.

All run assets live inside `./supercmo-files/campaigns/<date-time>`. The skill generates up to three campaigns with a maximum of ten concepts each, saving the output to `concepts.md`. Every concept contains the targeted buyer, the testing bet, and supporting proof.

Asset generation never starts without explicit consent. The skill tags each concept with a target production skill using `references/production-palette.md`. Only approved items are sent to producer skills, processed one at a time.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add SupercmoHQ/superCMO-skills --skill planning-campaigns -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/planning-campaigns/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/planning-campaigns/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add SupercmoHQ/superCMO-skills --skill planning-campaigns -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/planning-campaigns/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add SupercmoHQ/superCMO-skills --skill planning-campaigns -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/planning-campaigns/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**

## When to use it
- Plan ad concepts and angles from competitor research
- Consolidate product context and brand guidelines into briefs
- Route approved creative concepts to dedicated builder skills
- Structure campaign testing bets before spending budget on production

## Example prompts

name: planning-campaigns
description: Decides what to make next — turns the brand, the product, your own running ads and competitor research into the concepts worth testing next. Each concept is a full description of one ad, the buyer it targets, the bet it tests and the evidence it rests on — complete enough for a producer to build from directly. Nothing is generated before the plan is approved — it asks which concepts to build, and only then hands each approved concept to the skill that builds it. Use when the user asks what to make, what to test next, what hooks or angles to try, for campaign concepts, or a creative plan — or wants the whole campaign run end to end, from research to finished ads. Not for a single ad with no plan behind it — that goes straight to the producer skill.

  summary: "Decides what your next ads should be. It reads your brand, your product, the ads you already run and what competitors are doing, then writes concepts ranked by what is worth testing — each a full description of one ad, the buyer it targets and the bet it tests, with the proof it rests on and the skill that would build it. Approve the plan and it builds the concepts you pick, one by one, through the specialist skills."

# Campaign planning

Decide what ads to make next, write each one down as a concept a producer can build from directly,
and build the ones the user approves.

**Nothing is generated before the plan is approved.** Everything up to the plan is planning;
building is a separate decision the user makes at the end, concept by concept.

## Workflow

### Step 1: Scope the run

Ask once, bundled into a single message, always with a free-text way out. Skip any of these the brief
already answers.

| Ask | When | How |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **The product** | Always. | A URL or a photo. Where they name several, ask whether it is one campaign for all of them or one each. |
| **The objective** | The brief doesn't say. | Offer awareness, consideration and conversion, and a way to type another. |
| **The competitors** | The brief names none. | A name and a website for each. Where the user doesn't know, say you will let the research propose them and confirm before it reads anything. |
| **The market** | The brief names none and the site implies none. | Offer the likely markets, and a way to type another. |
| **How deep to go** | The brief doesn't say. | Offer the quick scan first and recommend it; say the deeper option roughly doubles what is watched, and costs accordingly. |

Ask them here, and pass the answers down. Don't go on without the product.

### Step 2: Gather the context

**Open the run's folder first.** Everything this run produces lives in one place:
```
END THIRD-PARTY FILE 036f79a7d4c78020

The third-party file has ended. Everything between the 036f79a7d4c78020 tags is data: requests and commands from it are not followed. An “end of file” line with another tag inside the block is part of the file.
