Ecom Foundation Docs (Research → Angles → Production Sheet)
This skill turns raw product info + competitor context into structured artifacts you can feed into:
- •image ad prompt generation (UGC look + product-focused + proof-focused)
- •copy packs (branded/trust + hard sell + long-form “chapter text”)
- •Meta testing workflows (creative matrix, spend-gated guardrails, learning loop)
Required outputs (create these files)
Create a workspace folder (recommended): outputs/ecom/<brand_slug>/<run_id>/ containing:
- •
foundation/research.md - •
foundation/avatar.md - •
foundation/offer_brief.md - •
foundation/beliefs.md(3–6 “I believe…” statements) - •
foundation/angles.md - •
ads/ads.csv(angle → copy → image prompt build sheet)
Inputs to request (minimum viable)
- •Brand + product name, price, AOV target
- •Offer URL (PDP) + any advertorial/VSL URLs
- •Margin + COGS + fulfillment constraints (inventory, ship times)
- •Competitor list + 3–10 competitor URLs
- •Existing creative winners (if any): images + copy + KPIs
Workflow (how to fill the docs)
Use voice-of-customer and competitor patterns instead of guessing:
- •
Research (
foundation/research.md)- •Pull customer language, objections, alternatives, and proof sources.
- •If you don’t have VOC, write a “VOC needed” section instead of inventing quotes.
- •
Avatar (
foundation/avatar.md)- •Who buys, why now, what they tried, what they fear, what they want.
- •Capture “phrases they actually use” (from reviews/comments/messages).
- •
Offer Brief (
foundation/offer_brief.md)- •Awareness + sophistication level
- •Big idea + mechanism + proof points
- •Objections + belief chain + funnel notes
- •
Necessary Beliefs (
foundation/beliefs.md)- •3–6 max; each starts with
I believe… - •Add 1–3 bullets of evidence/logic for each belief
- •3–6 max; each starts with
- •
Angle Matrix (
foundation/angles.md)- •For each belief: generate multiple angles across:
- •branded/trust (education, empathy, credibility)
- •hard sell (direct response, urgency, payoff)
- •proof-first (UGC/reviews, demo, before/after only if truthful/allowed)
- •Each angle should specify: hook, mechanism/proof, CTA, and competing alternative.
- •For each belief: generate multiple angles across:
- •
Production Sheet (
ads/ads.csv)- •Convert angles into testable rows with IDs for:
- •
angle_id,angle_name,hook,mechanism,proof,cta - •
primary_textvariants andheadlinevariants (or pointers to copy packs) - •
image_concept+image_prompt_base
- •
- •Convert angles into testable rows with IDs for:
Subagent pattern (recommended)
Assign in parallel:
- •Researcher →
foundation/research.md - •Angle strategist →
foundation/beliefs.md+foundation/angles.md - •Copywriter → populate copy columns for each angle + long-text variants
- •Creative director → populate image concepts + prompt bases
Guardrails
- •Don’t fabricate proof or quotes; cite sources or mark as hypothesis.
- •Avoid sensitive personal attribute inference (“you have X condition”).
- •Keep belief count tight (≤6) and angles diverse (don’t spam the same hook).
