This domain connects ad creative workflows, content marketing pipelines, visual production operations, and document automation into a coherent creative toolset. ## Domain Coverage This package represents the creative tools domain. It covers seven interconnected capabilities: performance ad creative generation with platform specs and iteration tracking, content creation with brand voice analysis and SEO optimization, PDF processing for document automation, vector workflow automation for SVG/icon normalization, raster retouch pipelines for non-destructive image production, creative QA gate automation for review/signoff/release decisions, and creative asset handoff for release-ready delivery. Mini-skills are separated for routing and selective loading while still supporting multi-skill composition. ## How to Use 1. Always begin with self-diagnostic. Start with a quick package integrity check, then validate only the activated working set. The self-diagnostic rules are defined in `self-diagnostic-protocol.md`. 2. Identify the primary mini-skill that best matches the task. 3. Check the Multi-Skill Activation Guide below to load adjacent mini-skills. 4. Open the corresponding reference file under `references/skills/`. 5. Open the corresponding examples file under `examples/skills/` if concrete patterns are needed. 6. Use `resources/skill-catalog.md` for the full index. 7. Use `resources/routing-guide.md` when a task spans multiple mini-skills. 8. Use `resources/asset-link-index.md` to find every auxiliary folder and file. ## Multi-Skill Activation Guide Do not treat mini-skills as isolated when the task spans multiple concerns. For all non-trivial tasks, apply the universal composition rule in `composition-protocol.md`. Common combinations: - **Full ad campaign**: ad-creative (primary) + content-creator (for brand voice consistency) + raster-retouch-pipeline (for visual cleanup) + creative-asset-handoff (for final delivery) - **Content marketing pipeline**: content-creator (primary) + ad-creative (for promotion copy) + creative-asset-handoff (for release package) - **Brand launch content**: content-creator (primary) + ad-creative + raster-retouch-pipeline + pdf-processing (for branded PDFs) - **Icon system release**: vector-workflow-automation (primary) + creative-asset-handoff (for engineering and design-system delivery) - **Document automation**: pdf-processing (primary) + creative-qa-gate-automation + content-creator (for document content) + creative-asset-handoff (for distribution readiness) - **Campaign QA/signoff**: creative-qa-gate-automation (primary) + ad-creative + content-creator + raster-retouch-pipeline + creative-asset-handoff - **Cross-channel creative release**: creative-asset-handoff (primary) + creative-qa-gate-automation + vector-workflow-automation + raster-retouch-pipeline - **Editorial launch package**: content-creator (primary) + creative-qa-gate-automation + ad-creative + creative-asset-handoff - **Document delivery QA**: pdf-processing (primary) + creative-qa-gate-automation + creative-asset-handoff ## Package Structure -

Prefer adding or updating auxiliary files rather than re-expanding the router. - Preserve skill-specific constraints, examples, and workflow details in the extracted files. ## Output Requirements - Keep the main file concise and navigational. - Store deep guidance in auxiliary files. - Use descriptive, stable file names for extracted mini-skills.
