Walk the user through four directional axes (tone register, aesthetic philosophy, audience relationship, sensory ambition) and produce a structured aesthetic brief that downstream content, copy, design, and art-direction skills consume as required input. The aesthetic depth layer, distinct from `creative-brief` (operational kickoff: scope, audience, deliverables, constraints). Use when a project needs aesthetic coherence across many small decisions and the user has only a vague feeling, or…
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 Frameworks produce competent output. Coherent output requires a brief. This skill turns vague creative intent into a structured brief that downstream skills can reference. It does not generate taste. It captures direction, so the dozens of small decisions a project requires (word choice, image selection, white space, sequencing, what to leave out) all answer to the same question. --- > Worked examples for each axis position can be assembled from any reference brand library that documents tone, aesthetic, audience relationship, and sensory ambition consistently. The framework below describes the four axes; the user's own reference set positions each example along the axes during the brief workflow. --- ## When to use - The start of a multi-touchpoint project (website, brand, campaign, product launch) where aesthetic coherence matters - Before running multiple downstream skills that need to share a unified voice and look - When inheriting a project that has competent execution but feels generic or incoherent - Recalibrating an existing project that has drifted aesthetically over time …

How to install
mdr add rampstackco/claude-skills/creative-direction@sha256:fc11c13225666233The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260601.c28280a, 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.
