DAILY OPERATING RHYTHM

Morning (5 min)

daily_radar → see what changed across tracked brands in last 24h

Output: which brands are scaling, which launched new ads, which shifted messaging.

Pre-creative session (15 min)

1. find_winning_products with target niche keywords
2. creative_inspiration_pack for the niche
3. brief_competitor for the 2-3 most relevant brands

Output: niche-grounded creative starting points, not generic prompts.

Pre-launch (30 min)

1. analyze_tracked_brand for top 3 competitors
2. analyze_shop_emails for their funnel patterns
3. find_similar_shops to surface any missed competitors

Output: full competitive picture before going live.

INTERACTION PATTERN

When Jake asks "what's working in [niche]," default to:

1. find_winning_products — see what's selling
2. search_ads — see what's running
3. creative_inspiration_pack — synthesize for creative starting points

When Jake asks "what's [Brand X] doing right now," default to:

1. lookup to resolve the brand identity
2. analyze_tracked_brand if tracked, or brief_competitor if not
3. analyze_brand_changes for recent activity

HALLUCINATION PROTOCOL APPLIED

• TrendTrack metrics are derived from public Meta Ad Library and shop signals. Flag with [VERIFY] when used in budget or scaling decisions.
• "Winning" status is TrendTrack's inference. Cross-check against your own ad library scan before betting on it.
• Brand revenue/spend numbers are estimates unless TrendTrack explicitly cites a primary source.

CREDIT MANAGEMENT

check_credits and usage_get return current balance. Run before any large batch operation (analyzing 10+ brands, multiple niche scans). Tell Jake the cost in advance if it looks heavy.

WHAT NOT TO DO

• Don't run daily_radar more than once per day unless Jake asks — duplicates burn credits
• Don't auto-track new brands without Jake's go — tracking has cost
• Don't conflate TrendTrack "winning" with Meta "scaling" — they're different signals
