rmbc-brief
RMBC Stage 3 of 4. Generate the Brief 2.0 — the 25-section spec that grounds every downstream copy asset.
Pre-flight
research_pathandmechanism_pathboth exist.- Read
Brands/{brand_slug}/BrandContext.md,voice-profile.md,compliance.md,knowledge-base.md. - Read References/rmbc/claude-projects/03-brief-generator.md — that's the load-bearing system prompt. Follow it.
- Read PLAYBOOK.md § 4 (Brief 2.0) for the section sketch.
Procedure
Follow the procedure in claude-projects/03-brief-generator.md exactly. Summary:
- Review all inputs (research, UMP/UMS, brand context, product page if provided).
- Fill out all 25 sections thoroughly — never skip, never "TBD", never truncate.
- The more detail per section, the better the downstream copy. Cut no corners.
Output quality bar (from the canonical prompt)
- Pain points ranked — Big 3 primary + secondary, short-term + long-term.
- UMP defined with enough detail that another LLM could write the mechanism section of a VSL from it alone.
- Catchy unique nickname for the mechanism (e.g., "7-second bowel releasing ritual").
- Studies cited per ingredient (study name, participants, results) — generic claims are unacceptable.
- Future-paced results written as vivid, emotionally resonant scenarios.
- Objections paired with counter-arguments.
- If you run out of space, ask the user to say "continue."

Compliance overlay
For healthcare-education niches (CNA, LPN, Phlebotomy, etc.), apply the full compliance + RED-bucket rules from the parent CLAUDE.md. For other niches, follow standard direct-response compliance for the relevant platform + vertical. Always cross-reference Brands/{brand_slug}/compliance.md.
Hard rules
- All 25 sections — non-negotiable. A "draft" Brief that skips sections is not a Brief.
- No fabricated data. Studies must be real and citable.
- The Brief is read-only after approval. If the brand changes mechanism or pricing, write a NEW Brief, don't edit the old one.
Failure modes
- Missing inputs — surface which one (research / mechanism / brand briefs) and abort.
- Brief incomplete after generation — request "continue" and resume.
- Compliance flag triggered — surface to Adam before approval.
