description

Turn messy client briefs into a production-ready plan for motion design/VFX projects: scope, assumptions/exclusions, deliverables matrix, schedule/milestones, review rounds, and estimate/quote. Also generate an invoice draft payload for Chris's local invoicing system (invoicing_system_2025) or export quote/invoice JSON/CSV/Markdown. Use when Chris asks to go from brief/email notes/chat logs into a clear plan + quote/invoice, or to create a repeatable project folder + docs.

Creative Ops Copilot

What to do

1. Ask for (or infer) the input brief:

• Paste text directly, or
• Provide a file path to a brief/email/thread export.

2. Produce these outputs (always):

• docs/creative-ops/plan.md (client-ready)
• docs/creative-ops/estimate.json (structured line items)
• docs/creative-ops/invoice-draft.json (ready for API import later)

3. If Chris wants it, also:

• Create a project folder skeleton (AE/C4D/Octane-friendly) with a docs/README.md.
• POST the invoice draft to the local invoicing API (only if base URL is configured and Chris says “push it”).

Canonical output structure (plan.md)

• Project summary (one paragraph)
• Goals / Success criteria
• Deliverables (matrix)
  • Format, duration, aspect ratios, versions, audio deliverables
• Workflow assumptions
  • what’s included, what’s not, number of review rounds
• Open questions (what you still need answered)
• Production plan
  • phases + milestones + review windows
• Risks / dependencies
• Estimate
