copywriting-intake

Phase 0 (brief intake) + Phase 1 (message confirmation) — the mandatory entry gate for every copywriting-toolkit pipeline run (drafting, ideation, audit). No downstream phase loads until this skill produces a confirmed Understanding Summary AND the intake-completeness-checklist.md MUST gate returns PASS / PASS_WITH_NOTES.

When to Use

Invoke this skill:

• As the first step of any using-copywriting-toolkit pipeline when the brief is incomplete or unconfirmed.
• When switching form type mid-conversation (short → long, etc.) — re-intake Level 1 fields rather than carrying stale assumptions forward.
• Before copywriting-audit-stage if the audit target's metadata (form, channel, review focus) is ambiguous.
