brand-research

A guided workflow for turning "go research [brand]" into a structured, reusable brand-context pack — the ground-truth folder every downstream ad/video skill reads before it generates anything. The skill is conversation-driven: the user names a brand + product, you disambiguate, research the web, source and catalog assets, and write a fixed set of files in a fixed shape. The shape is the whole point — see references/output-contract.md.

When to use this skill

Use when the user asks for any of:

• "Research [brand] for ads" / "set up [brand]" / "create a brand folder for [brand]."
• "Fill in the brand context" / "the brand-research docs are empty/stubs."
• Hands you a company URL (and maybe a Meta Ad Library link or some ad files) and wants context docs before any creative work.
• Any kickoff where a downstream skill needs brand-research/*.md + brand-assets/manifest.json populated.
