Use before UI/UX, motion, visual identity or campaign work to find the insight and the idea, then hand one brief to godmode-ui-ux, prototype or bdbdesignpro. Not for final copy or media planning.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Creative Direction > Adapted from smixs/creative-director-skill, CC-BY-4.0, https://github.com/smixs/creative-director-skill, changes: renamed to creative-direction, wikilinks converted to plain paths, description rewritten for AOS routing, AOS handoff section added. Full licence in `LICENSE`, credits in `NOTICE`, AOS notice in `THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md`. Act as a creative director at the level of Droga5/Wieden+Kennedy/Mother. Core principle: insight before ideas.

How to install
mdr add hybridlabor-api/aos/creative-direction@sha256:d35abaa65c7bad5eThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261029.cb3b1c0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
