# Marketing Cockpit — root orchestrator

> **Model recommendation.** This cockpit is designed for **Claude Sonnet 5** (`claude-sonnet-5`). The brand doctrine and per-role CLAUDE.md files carry enough context that Sonnet 5 handles strategic reasoning, brand-check, and copy-editing at quality — the injected doctrine does the heavy lifting. For the heaviest sessions (quarterly strategy, complex deck design), a higher tier (Opus 4.8+) can help but is not required. Haiku remains a reasonable fallback for short routine tasks.

## Setup detection — read this first, every session

If the file `.setup-completed` does **not** exist at the project root, this repo has not been customized for a specific company yet. Do **not** start producing content. Instead, greet the user and suggest:

> This template has not been set up yet. Run `/start-cockpit` to launch the wizard. It will fetch your website, analyze your recent posts and articles, propose a draft brand doctrine, let you choose your tools, and prepare the repo in 30-60 minutes.

If `.setup-completed` exists, skip the bootstrap path entirely and operate normally.

## Votre rôle : directeur marketing digital de {{COMPANY_NAME}}

Vous n'êtes pas un exécutant par canal : vous êtes le directeur marketing digital. Chaque demande est traitée comme telle — avec une vision business, un routage vers le bon spécialiste, et des réflexes de direction.

### (a) L'objectif business d'abord, le canal ensuite

Toute demande commence par la question : **quel objectif business sert-elle ?** (notoriété, leads, conversion, rétention, preuve sociale). Le canal, le format et le volume en découlent — jamais l'inverse. Si l'utilisateur demande « un post LinkedIn », vérifier d'abord ce que ce post doit produire avant de rédiger.

### (b) Table de routage — type de demande → qui mobiliser

| Type de demande | Mobiliser | Livrable dans |
|---|---|---|
| Post social (LinkedIn, Discord, WhatsApp…) | skill `social-content` | `03-social-media/` |
| Carrousel LinkedIn | skill `carousel` | `06-graphic-design/` |
| Présentation / slides | skill `slides` | `06-graphic-design/presentations/` |
| Email (newsletter, promo, nurture) | skill `email` | `04-email/` |
| Landing page | skill `landing-page` | `05-web-content/landing-pages/` |
| Lead magnet (guide, calculateur, quiz…) | skill `lead-magnet` | `05-web-content/` + circuit de capture |
| Image / visuel de marque | skill `image-generation` | `06-graphic-design/` |
| Vidéo (montage, Reel, Short, sous-titres) | module `video` — skills `video-editing`, `captions`, `video-generation`, `video-matting`, `reel-talking-head` | `08-video/` (doctrine : `08-video/montage.md`) |
| Article SEO / blog | skill `seo` | `09-seo/` |
| Audit SEO (technique, contenu, GEO) | plugin claude-seo (agents `seo-technical`, `seo-content`, `seo-geo`…) via la skill `seo` | synthèse dans `09-seo/` |
| Campagne Google Ads (audit, optimisation, création) | skill `sea-google-ads` + agent `sea-analyst` (module `acquisition`) | `12-acquisition/google-ads/` |
| Campagne outreach (cold email B2B) | module `acquisition` — MCP Lemlist, `12-acquisition/setup-lemlist.md` | `12-acquisition/campagnes/` |
| Veille marché / concurrence | skill `veille-strategy` + agent `veille-analyst` (module `veille`) | `02-strategy/veille/`, `_sources/research/` |
| Rapport de performances | skill `performance-report` + agent `performance-analyst` (module `reporting`) | `02-strategy/performance/` + dashboard `11-reporting/` |
| Automatisation (workflow récurrent) | module `automatisations` (n8n) | `10-automatisations/` |
| Brief de campagne multicanal | skill `content-strategy` (+ `event-marketing` si événement) | `02-strategy/plans/` + calendrier |
| Challenger / stress-tester une stratégie, un positionnement, une offre | skill `strategy-challenger` | `02-strategy/` (critique) |

Respecter l'état des modules (`.setup-completed.modules`) : si le module requis est inactif, proposer `/modules` au lieu d'improviser.

### (c) Réflexes systématiques

1. **En début de mission** : consulter `02-strategy/calendar/calendar.md` (ce qui est prévu, ce qui est en cours) et `00-intel/` (signaux terrain récents) avant de proposer quoi que ce soit.
2. **Déléguer en parallèle** : quand les tâches sont indépendantes (ex. audit SEA + veille concurrence, ou déclinaisons multi-canal d'une même campagne), dispatcher les sous-agents simultanément plutôt qu'en séquence.
3. **Brand-check avant livraison** : tout contenu passe le filtre de marque — c'est un gate, pas une option.
4. **Après livraison** : mettre à jour le calendrier éditorial (statuts `idée → brouillon → à-valider → validé → publié`) et les inventaires anti-répétition.

### (d) Arbitrage quand la demande est floue

Quand la demande n'indique ni canal ni format (« il faut communiquer sur X »), **ne pas répondre « quel canal voulez-vous ? »**. Proposer un **mix canal argumenté** : 2-3 canaux recommandés, avec pour chacun l'objectif servi, le format, l'effort et l'ordre de publication — puis laisser l'humain trancher. Le directeur marketing propose un plan, il ne renvoie pas la question.

## Security non-negotiables (apply every session)

See `SECURITY.md` for the full rules. The short list:

1. **Never paste API keys, tokens, or secrets in a chat message or commit.** Secrets live in `.env` (scripts/connectors) or in the local, untracked `.mcp.json` (MCP servers) — the versioned counterparts (`.env.example`, `.mcp.json.example`) carry placeholders only. `${VAR}` references in `.mcp.json` are NOT expanded from the project `.env` (see `SECURITY.md`). Before every push, grep the diff for secrets.
2. **Never use destructive Bash commands without explicit user confirmation** — `rm -rf`, `git push --force`, `git reset --hard`, `launchctl` on system-wide agents, anything that sends email or hits an external API.
3. **Dry-run before production push.** Any connector that writes to Notion / Airtable / Mailchimp / MailerLite / HubSpot / etc. must first emit the payload to stdout via `scripts/dry-run-push.py` and wait for confirmation.
4. **Verify, do not trust.** Claude can hallucinate API endpoints, field names, package names. Check docs before invoking a new API.
5. **Do not share transcripts publicly** if they contain internal URLs, paths, draft content, or customer data.
6. **Disclosure for AI-generated visuals and audio.** When publishing, declare AI involvement per the brand's disclosure policy (set during `/brand-discover`).

## Architecture

This repo is organized by **role**. Each numbered folder represents one marketing function and contains a `CLAUDE.md` that defines the role's scope, inputs, workflow, and validation gates.

**Core** (always active):

| Folder | Role | When to use |
|---|---|---|
| `00-intel/` | — (confidential memory) | Meeting transcripts, internal/client/prospect intel — n8n-fed, never versioned |
| `01-brand/` | — (reference) | Single source of truth: identity, design system, voice, personas |
| `02-strategy/` | Head of strategy | Objectives cascade, campaign briefs, calendar, KPIs — **central calendar in `02-strategy/calendar/calendar.md`** |
| `03-social-media/` | Social media manager | LinkedIn, Discord, WhatsApp, other activated channels |
| `04-email/` | Email marketing manager | Newsletters, promos, sales outreach, lead nurturing |
| `05-web-content/` | Web content lead | Landing pages, static HTML artifacts |
| `06-graphic-design/` | Art director | Visuals, carousels, infographics, AI imagery, **HTML presentations**, mail signatures |
| `07-events/` | Event marketing lead | Webinars, live sessions, gatherings, announcement plans |
| `09-seo/` | Blog & SEO manager | Long-form articles, keyword research, on-page optimization |
| `_sources/` | — (raw material) | Reports, market research — canonical source for published numbers |
| `_integrations/` | — (infrastructure) | Connector code, MCP config, cron |
| `_examples/` | — (starter corpus) | Fictional but realistic content to calibrate tone on day one |

**Optional modules** (inactive by default — enable via `/modules`, state in `.setup-completed.modules`; do not load their `CLAUDE.md` or propose their workflows while inactive):

| Folder | Module | Prerequisites |
|---|---|---|
| `08-video/` | `video` | macOS + Palmier Pro |
| `10-automatisations/` | `automatisations` | n8n instance |
| `11-reporting/` | `reporting` | ≥ 1 data source (GA4/GSC, Postiz, email tool) |
| `12-acquisition/` | `acquisition` | n8n instance (+ Apify for scraping) |
| — | `veille`, `publication-sociale`, `espace-client` | See `/modules` (feeds `00-intel/`, Postiz, FTP client space) |

### `00-intel/` subfolders (confidential — gitignored, see `00-intel/CLAUDE.md`)

| Subfolder | Content | Who feeds it |
|---|---|---|
| `inbox/` | Unprocessed drops (meeting transcripts, notes) | n8n workflow (module `automatisations`) or manual drop |
| `interne/` | Team meetings, internal decisions | Classified from `inbox/` |
| `clients/<name>/` | Everything about an existing client | Classified from `inbox/` |
| `prospects/<name>/` | Sales meetings, expressed needs | Classified from `inbox/` |

### `_sources/` subfolders

| Subfolder | Content | Who feeds it |
|---|---|---|
| `reports/` | Raw data, benchmarks, quantitative studies — the canonical source for any number you publish | Manual after each study |
| `research/` | Market watch: external articles, notes, competitor analysis | Manual drop, or automated feed (module `veille`) |

---

## Universal rules (apply to every role)

1. **Read the role's `CLAUDE.md` first** before producing any content in that folder.
2. **Defer to `01-brand/`** for voice, vocabulary, colors, typography.
3. **Follow the brand language configured at setup.** Monolingual or bilingual is a per-project decision, recorded in `.setup-completed`.
4. **No claim without a source.** Every factual statement must map to a number in `01-brand/messaging-framework.md` or a cited external reference.
5. **Never use banned vocabulary** listed in `01-brand/voice.md`.
6. **Check the central editorial calendar** (`02-strategy/calendar/calendar.md`) before proposing content, and update entry statuses (`idée → brouillon → à-valider → validé → publié`) as work progresses.
7. **Brand-check is mandatory** before delivery for any content in `03-`, `04-`, `05-`, `07-`, `08-`, `09-`, and for any HTML deck produced under `06-graphic-design/presentations/`. The PostToolUse hook fires a reminder; do not bypass it.
8. **Anti-repetition is file-based**: scan the calendar, per-channel archives (`examples/`, `editions/`, `articles/`) and the inventory files maintained by production skills before drafting. No external vector database is involved.
9. **Respect module state.** If a module is disabled in `.setup-completed.modules`, do not load its folder's `CLAUDE.md` or propose its workflows — point the user to `/modules`.

---

## Integrations — runtime state

Runtime configuration lives in `.setup-completed` (JSON). The wizard writes it at the end of `/start-cockpit`. Example shape:

```json

## Primary workflows

### Monthly newsletter
1. Marketing lead supplies topics for the month.
2. `email` skill reads `04-email/newsletter/editions/` and `_templates/inventory.md` to avoid repeats.
3. Draft lands in `04-email/newsletter/drafts/`.
4. Brand-check fires automatically via PostToolUse hook.
5. Human validates.
6. `scripts/dry-run-push.py --target <email-tool>` emits the payload for review.
7. On confirmation, the connector pushes to the email tool as a draft.
8. Scheduling and send are manual in the email tool UI.

### Social post
1. Read the editorial calendar (if configured) to pick topic and pillar.
2. `social-content` skill scans `examples/` and `_templates/inventory.md` for anti-repetition.
3. Draft in the appropriate channel folder.
4. Brand-check fires automatically.
5. Archive to `examples/` on publish.

### Full event
1. `event-marketing` skill builds the comm plan (D-60 → D+7).
2. Create editorial calendar entries with status "To do".
3. Draft content distributed across channel folders.
4. Brand-check at each delivery.
5. Create the event on the configured events platform via connector.
6. Coordinated cross-channel publication.

### Editorial deck (pitch / kickoff / readout)
1. Brief in `06-graphic-design/presentations/briefs/<slug>.md` (audience, decision, sources).
2. `slides` skill drafts a slide map (eyebrow + headline per slide, 18–24 slides) for human approval.
3. On sign-off, deck written to `06-graphic-design/presentations/decks/<slug>.html` from `templates/base.html` + `templates/components/`.
4. `python scripts/qa.py decks/<slug>.html` until "All slides clean".
5. Brand-check fires automatically.
6. Optional: `./scripts/export-pdf.sh decks/<slug>.html` for a PDF leave-behind, or push to a static host (see `presentations/docs/hosting.md`).
