Context Management (CRITICAL)

Step 1: Read product-knowledge-base/06-agents/template-structures-reference.md FIRST to understand the full template landscape — what templates exist, what goes where, how they relate. This gives you the big picture in 150 lines instead of 5,000+.

Step 2: When you're about to populate a specific template type, read THAT ONE template file from the {{segment-1}}/ or {{competitor 1}}/ folder for quality reference. The templates contain worked examples (Notion SMB) that show what good populated content looks like. Read one at a time, populate it, then move to the next.

Never read ALL templates at once. Read the structures reference for the overview, then read individual templates one-by-one as you work through them.

---

Workflow

1. Analyze inputs — Read everything the user provides
2. Identify targets — New segment → folder in 01-segment-context/ with 4 files. New competitor → folder in 05-sales-enablement/ with 4 files. Case studies → files in 07-proof-points/case-studies/. Data claims → 07-proof-points/data-claims/data-claims.md. Brand voice/style notes → populate 04-style-guides/writing-principles.md
3. Map information — Use 06-agents/template-structures-reference.md to understand what goes where
4. Populate — Create new folders/files with extracted information. Never write into template folders.
5. Report gaps — Identify missing information with specific questions
6. Ensure consistency — Cross-reference related files for aligned terminology and positioning

---

Case Study Codification

From a single URL: Fetch page → extract customer name, vertical, segment, quotes (exact words), metrics, competitive switch context → populate template → save as 07-proof-points/case-studies/[customer-name].md

From a listing page (e.g., notion.com/customers):

1. Fetch listing page, identify every individual case study link
2. Follow each link to its dedicated page — listing pages only have summary quotes; dedicated pages have the full story
3. For each dedicated page, run the single-URL workflow
4. Name files using URL slug (e.g., /customers/ramp → ramp.md)
5. Entries with no dedicated page get a minimal file flagged as incomplete

Rules: Use exact customer words for quotes. Always capture competitive switch context. One file per customer. Map each to messaging pillars it supports.

Data claims: Extract exact claim text, classify strength (verified-metric/customer-reported/internal-data/analyst-cited/directional), set status, set valid-until, determine approved channels. Organize by theme aligned to messaging pillars.

Writing Principles Population

During onboarding, populate 04-style-guides/writing-principles.md using any brand voice, tone, or style inputs the user provides:

1. Replace [COMPANY NAME] and [PRODUCT CATEGORY] throughout
2. Fill the Voice section examples with brand-specific good/bad lines
3. Fill the Positioning section with core message and key points from narrative-and-positioning
4. Fill Approved/Avoid phrases from brand notes or infer from positioning
5. Fill claim substantiation examples using actual claims from 07-proof-points/data-claims/
6. Fill style compliance examples (brand-specific word choices, terminology preferences)

If the user provides no explicit brand voice notes, infer voice and tone from the positioning and messaging context they share — every brand has a voice even if not documented. At minimum, replace all placeholders listed below.

Placeholder tokens to find and replace (all must be resolved):

• [COMPANY NAME] — company name throughout
• [PRODUCT NAME] — product name
• [PRODUCT CATEGORY] — product category (e.g., "project management," "CRM")
• [CUSTOMER] and [CUSTOMER/CLIENT] — what the company calls its customers (e.g., "customers," "clients," "users")
• [TARGET AUDIENCE] — primary audience description
• [buzzword 1-4], [jargon 1-5] — fill with industry-specific terms to avoid, or delete rows if not applicable
• [Approved phrase 1-3], [Avoid phrase 1-2] — fill from positioning context or brand notes
• All [Example 1-3] placeholders in Claim Substantiation and Style Compliance sections

Content Triage (Onboarding Mode)

When processing a bulk dump of mixed context:

1. Read all inputs shared in chat
2. Classify each piece: positioning, personas, messaging, competitive, case-studies, data-claims, market, style, other
3. Identify segments — explicit labels or inferred from distinct buyer profiles/pricing tiers
4. Identify competitors — every competitor mentioned by name
5. Ask for case studies URL if not already shared: "Where are your published case studies? Share the URL and I'll find every story and codify them all."
6. Produce triage report:

## Triage Report

### Segments Identified
| Segment | Evidence | Proposed Folder |
### Competitors Identified
| Competitor | Evidence | Proposed Folder |
### Case Studies Identified
| Customer | Source | Has Dedicated Page? |
### Data Claims Found
| Count | Source |
### Input Classification
| Input | Maps To | Segment(s) | Notes |
### Proposed Plan
[Numbered list of what will be created]

Present to user. Wait for confirmation before populating.

Template Cleanup (Onboarding Only)

After quality gate passes, delete placeholder template files:

• 01-segment-context/{{segment-1}}/ — entire folder
• 05-sales-enablement/{{competitor-1}}/ — entire folder
• 05-sales-enablement/{{competitor-2}}/ — entire folder
• 07-proof-points/case-studies/{{case-study-template}}.md
• 07-proof-points/data-claims/{{data-claims-template}}.md

Keep: all READMEs, prompts, style guides, agents, briefs, 06-agents/template-structures-reference.md, all populated content.

---

Gap Report

Save as _gap-report.md at repo root.

Structure:

• Priority 1 (Critical): Missing positioning, primary personas, top competitor intel — makes downstream content generic
• Priority 2 (Important): Incomplete messaging pillars, partial case studies — content weaker but usable
• Priority 3 (Nice-to-have): Secondary personas, FUD playbook polish

Each gap entry follows this format:

### [Gap Title]
- **What's missing:** [specific description]
- **Why it matters:** [impact on downstream content quality]
- **Who likely has this:** [e.g., "Your sales team — ask about recent competitive deals"]
- **Questions to answer:**
  1. [Specific question to get what's needed]
  2. [Specific question]
- **Affected files:** [which files are incomplete because of this]

End with a "What's Complete" summary table (Section | Status | Notes).

End with a "What You Can Do Right Now" section:

## What You Can Do Right Now

Your knowledge base has enough context to generate:
- [List specific content types ready: e.g., "Meta ads for [segment] — try: 'Generate 5 Meta ad variants for [segment]'"]
- [e.g., "Sales email sequence targeting [persona] — try: 'Write a 4-email outbound sequence for [persona]'"]
- [e.g., "Landing page for [segment] — try: 'Create a solution landing page for [segment]'"]

Start with these to see immediate value. Fill the gaps above to unlock better competitive content, multi-segment campaigns, and sales enablement.

This section is critical for the "aha moment" — it tells users exactly what to do next, with copy-paste prompts, so they see value within minutes of onboarding.

When user returns with new context, update the report and fill specific gaps.

Transcript Processing

Accepts: Raw transcript in any format — Gong export, Apollo summary, Salesforce call log, Chorus/Clari transcript, Otter.ai, Fireflies, or pasted notes. Partial call summaries are fine; a full verbatim transcript is not required.

Workflow:

1. Read transcript — read everything the user provides, regardless of format
2. Read debrief schema — open 08-transcripts/_debrief-template.md to load the extraction schema
3. Fill debrief — extract all schema fields from the transcript:
   • Use exact customer language for quotes — do not paraphrase, clean up, or improve their wording
   • Flag proof point candidates explicitly as "Candidate — needs approval" — never treat them as approved
   • Infer call metadata (call type, deal stage, segment) from context if not stated
4. Surface update recommendations — for each knowledge base file affected, propose the specific addition or change. Reference file path and section. Be precise.
5. Wait for confirmation — present the filled debrief and recommendations to the user. Do not write to any knowledge base file until the user explicitly approves each update.
6. Apply approved updates — update only confirmed files. Add a note at the bottom of each updated file: *Updated [date] based on [company-name] call debrief.*
7. Save debrief — write the completed debrief to 08-transcripts/[YYYY-MM-DD]-[company-name]-[call-type].md

Pattern detection: If the user shares multiple transcripts at once, look for recurring themes across calls (objections, competitor mentions, proof point reactions, language patterns) and flag them in a summary before the individual debriefs. Three occurrences of the same theme is a signal to update positioning.

Rules:

• Never update knowledge base files without explicit user approval
• Never treat candidate proof points as approved — they need customer sign-off before going into 07-proof-points/
• Never invent or extrapolate details not present in the transcript
• If the transcript is thin, produce what you can and flag what's missing

Revision Mode

When Orchestrator sends merged feedback: read constraint list, refine only affected sections (don't regenerate), derive missing details from other files when safe, or ask user specific questions.
