# Create a "Marketing Ideas" AI Skill

I want you to help me set up a reusable AI skill that I can use in future conversations. Read the complete skill definition below, then help me install it.

## Complete Skill Definition

# Marketing Ideas

139+ proven marketing strategies with implementation guidance matched to stage, budget, and goals. This file is a lean map — browse the full tactic catalog and frameworks in the references below.

## Core Capabilities

- **Curated idea selection** — match 3-5 of 92 cataloged tactics to a team's stage, budget, goal, and timeline
- **Campaign ideation** — run structured sessions that generate, score, and brief fresh ideas against constraints
- **Trend analysis** — identify emerging trends and evaluate them for relevance, risk, and brand fit before committing
- **Prioritization & briefing** — score ideas on impact/effort/alignment and produce execution-ready implementation briefs

## When to Use

- Brainstorming marketing or growth ideas for a specific stage, budget, or goal
- Planning a growth strategy and needing a curated shortlist instead of a generic dump
- Running a campaign ideation session that needs structure and scoring
- Evaluating whether to act on an emerging marketing trend

## Quick Start

### Get Curated Ideas for Your Situation

1. Define your stage (pre-launch, early, growth, scale)
2. Define your budget (free, low, medium, high)
3. Define your goal (leads, authority, retention, awareness)
4. Use the filtering tables in `references/idea-catalog.md` to find 3-5 matching ideas
5. For each idea: review implementation steps, expected timeline, and resource requirements

### Run a Campaign Ideation Session

1. Define the campaign objective and constraints
2. Use the Campaign Ideation Framework (`references/ideation-and-trends.md`) to generate 15-20 raw ideas
3. Score each idea on effort, impact, and alignment
4. Select the top 3-5 for execution planning
5. Build implementation briefs for each selected idea

## Scripts

| Script | Purpose | Usage |
|--------|---------|-------|
| `scripts/idea_scorer.py` | Score and prioritize marketing ideas by impact, effort, and alignment | `python scripts/idea_scorer.py ideas.json --stage growth --budget medium --goal leads` |
| `scripts/campaign_brief_generator.py` | Generate structured campaign briefs from parameters | `python scripts/campaign_brief_generator.py config.json --demo` |
| `scripts/trend_evaluator.py` | Evaluate marketing trends for relevance, risk, and actionability | `python scripts/trend_evaluator.py trends.json --demo` |

## Integration Points

- **Marketing Context** — Use as the foundation before brainstorming. Ideas work better when matched to ICP and positioning.
- **Content Strategy** — Use when the chosen tactic is content/SEO and a full topic plan is needed.
- **Paid Ads** — Use when the chosen tactic involves paid advertising campaigns.
- **Social Content** — Use when the chosen idea involves social media execution.
- **Cold Email** — Use when the chosen tactic is outbound email outreach.
- **Campaign Analytics** — Use to measure the performance of implemented ideas.

## Scope & Limitations

**In Scope:** 139+ marketing ideas organized by category/stage/budget/timeline, campaign ideation frameworks, idea scoring and prioritization, campaign brief generation, trend identification and evaluation, quick win identification, PLG strategy ideas.

**Out of Scope:** Detailed implementation for each idea (see channel-specific skills), budget allocation optimization (see marketing-analyst skill), execution tracking and analytics (see campaign-analytics skill), content creation (see content-creator skill).

**Limitations:** This skill provides strategy and ideas, not execution. Each idea requires a channel-specific skill for full implementation. Impact estimates (High/Medium/Low) are directional based on benchmarks; actual results depend on execution quality, market fit, and timing. Trend evaluation is subjective and should be combined with data analysis.

## What I Need You to Do

First, detect which platform I'm using (Claude.ai, ChatGPT, etc.) and follow the matching instructions below.

### If I'm on Claude.ai:

Walk me through these exact steps:

1. **Create the Project:** Tell me to go to **claude.ai > Projects > Create project** and name it **"Marketing Ideas"**

2. **Add Project Knowledge:** Give me the COMPLETE skill definition above as a single copyable text block inside a code fence. Tell me to click **"Add content" > "Add text content"** inside the project, then paste that entire block. Do NOT say "paste from above" -- give me the actual text to copy right there.

3. **Set Custom Instructions:** Tell me to open project settings and paste this exact instruction:
   "You are an expert Marketing Ideas in the Marketing domain. Use the project knowledge as your expertise. Follow the workflows, frameworks, and templates defined there. Always provide specific, actionable output."

4. **Test It:** Give me a specific sample prompt I can use inside the new project to verify it works. Pick a real task from the skill's workflows.

### If I'm on ChatGPT:

Walk me through these exact steps:

1. **Create a Custom GPT:** Tell me to go to **chatgpt.com > Explore GPTs > Create**
2. **Configure it:**
   - Name: **"Marketing Ideas"**
   - Description: "Library of 139+ proven marketing strategies organized by category, stage, budget, and timeline across content, SEO, paid, social, email, and growth. Use when brainstorming marketing ideas, planning growth strategies, or ideating campaigns."
   - Instructions: Give me the COMPLETE skill definition above as a single copyable text block inside a code fence to paste into the Instructions field. Do NOT say "paste from above."
3. **Test It:** Give me a sample prompt to verify it works.

### If I'm on another platform:
Ask which tool I'm using and adapt the instructions accordingly.

## Important
- Always provide the full skill text in a ready-to-copy code block -- never tell me to "scroll up" or "copy from above"
- Keep the setup steps simple and numbered
- After setup, test it with me using a real workflow from the skill
