# Lp Do Assessment 15 Packaging Brief > Packaging design brief for new startups (ASSESSMENT-15). Conditional on physical-product profile.

This skill is conditional: it only runs when the business has a `physical-product` profile flag. For digital-only businesses it emits a skip message and halts cleanly. The brief combines deterministic derivation (packaging format from product type + channel, regulatory requirements from the reference data file) with targeted operator elicitation (aesthetic preferences for surface design). It does not attempt to be a regulatory compliance audit — it produces an operator-reviewed requirements checklist sourced from `regulatory-requirements.md`. Load: ../_shared/assessment/assessment-base-contract.md ## Invocation ``` /lp-do-assessment-15-packaging-brief --business ``` Required: - `--business ` — 3-4 character business identifier **Business resolution pre-flight:** If `--business` is absent or the directory `docs/business-os/strategy//` does not exist, apply `_shared/business-resolution.md` before any other step. ## Operating Mode MIXED - **Deterministic derivation:** structural packaging format (from product type + distribution channel), regulatory requirements checklist (from reference data file for product category) - **Operator elicitation:** surface design aesthetic preferences (3 targeted questions only) Does NOT: - Perform regulatory compliance audits or provide legal advice - Generate packaging artwork, structural dielines, or print-ready files - Cover product categories that are out of scope for the reference data (medical devices, pharmaceuticals, electrical goods, children's toys — see regulatory-requirements.md out-of-scope section) ## Conditionality Gate (Step 1 — execute first) **Read the business profile** to determine whether `physical-product` flag is set. The business profile flag may be documented in: - ASSESSMENT intake packet (Section A — business type or product profile) - ASSESSMENT-03 option selection artifact (product category) - Operator context document If `physical-product` is NOT in the business profile (e.g., SaaS, digital content, service business), emit: > "This business does not have a physical-product profile. Packaging brief (ASSESSMENT-15) is not applicable — skipping. If this changes (e.g., the business adds a physical product line), re-run `/lp-do-assessment-15-packaging-brief --business `." Then halt cleanly. Do not create any output artifact. If `physical-product` IS in the business profile, proceed to Step 2. ## Required Inputs (pre-flight) | Source | Path | Required | |--------|------|----------| | Product option selection | `docs/business-os/strategy//-option-selection.user.md` | Yes — product type and product category | | Distribution plan | `docs/business-os/strategy//-launch-distribution-plan.user.md` | Yes — channels determine packaging format and barcode requirement | | Brand identity dossier | `docs/business-os/strategy//-brand-identity-dossier.user.md` | Yes — brand assets (colour tokens, typography) for Surface Design section | | Product naming document | `docs/business-os/strategy//-product-naming.user.md` | Yes — confirmed product name for label text | | Logo brief | `docs/business-os/strategy//-logo-brief.user.md` | Yes — logo variants for Brand Assets section | | Regulatory reference data | `.claude/skills/lp-do-assessment-15-packaging-brief/regulatory-requirements.md` | Yes — source for Regulatory Requirements Checklist | If `-logo-brief.user.md` is absent, halt and emit: > "Logo brief not found at `docs/business-os/strategy//-logo-brief.user.md`. Run `/lp-do-assessment-14-logo-brief --business ` first." --- ## Steps Load: modules/steps.md ## Output Contract Load: modules/output-template.md ## Quality Gate Load: modules/quality-gate.md ## Completion Message > "Packaging brief recorded: `docs/business-os/strategy//-packaging-brief.user.md`. Structural format: [format]. Regulatory category: [category]. Regulatory checklist: [N] items. EAN barcode: [required / not required]. Designer handoff: [N] items ready, [M] items pending." > > "ASSESSMENT stage complete for physical-product profile. Next step: review the packaging brief with your supplier, then run `/lp-readiness --business ` to enter S1." --- ## Integration **Upstream (ASSESSMENT-14):** - Reads `-logo-brief.user.md` as a required input for the Brand Assets section and Designer Handoff Checklist. **Upstream (ASSESSMENT-13):** - Reads `-product-naming.user.md` for the confirmed product name used in Structural Format. **Upstream (ASSESSMENT-11):** - Reads `-brand-identity-dossier.user.md` for colour tokens and typography used in Surface Design Scope and Print Specification Notes. **Downstream:** This skill produces the final ASSESSMENT deliverable for physical-product profiles. The output is an operator/designer handoff document — there is no further automated ASSESSMENT skill downstream. The operator proceeds to `/lp-readiness --business ` (S1). **Regulatory reference data:** This skill reads `.claude/skills/lp-do-assessment-15-packaging-brief/regulatory-requirements.md` at runtime. If that file is absent, halt and emit: "Regulatory reference data not found. The file `.claude/skills/lp-do-assessment-15-packaging-brief/regulatory-requirements.md` is required for this skill to produce an authoritative checklist. Contact the system operator to restore this file." **GATE-ASSESSMENT-01:** This skill's output (`-packaging-brief.user.md`) must exist for businesses with `physical-product` profile before GATE-ASSESSMENT-01 allows ASSESSMENT→MEASURE transition. For non-physical businesses, GATE-ASSESSMENT-01 does not require this artifact.
