Kelly Brand

Overview

Kelly Brand is a Busabase Cloud App-in-Skill. Its canonical product surface is the AirApp in Busabase, not a separate local-data product. The same Hono source supports an explicitly requested local preview with OAuth connection bootstrap. Use this skill as the operator for a brand's narrative single source of truth: it keeps a dashboard over the whole message house — positioning, value pillars, the story bank, evidence-backed proof points, and vocabulary/tone guardrails — plus a drift monitor that flags off-brand usage across channels. The agent drafts; the human curates which drafts are adopted as the canonical narrative; the skill records those adoptions and can export the canonical narrative for downstream use.

Everything is organized by Aaron's TALE discipline — Trace → Architect → Land → Evaluate — and every narrative asset carries the TALE phase and the sub_skill that produced it.

Default behavior is AirApp-first. Unless the user explicitly asks only for explanation, update Busabase directly and give the user the clickable AirApp URL. Start localhost only when local preview/debugging is explicitly requested; it uses the same Busabase resources and never offers another data provider. Use chat-only mode only when the user says "纯聊天", "chat only", "不要打开 UI", or similar; in that mode present numbered assets (#1, #2) and take verdicts in the conversation.

Mandatory Dependencies

1. Read and follow $kelly-app-skill-creator for product behavior, visual quality, responsive layout, and the complete canonical content/kelly-brand-app/ artifact.
2. Read and follow $busabase for connection, target Space, node discovery, ChangeRequests, review, and merge behavior.
3. Read and follow $busabase-app-creator for resource modeling, AirApp runtime limits, security, validation, and deployment.

If a dependency is unavailable, preserve this skill's local artifact and product contracts, stop before the unavailable Busabase operation, and report the exact missing dependency. Do not invent a second data backend.

The TALE Framework

The 4 phases are both an item facet (phase) and the shape of the work. The 16 sub-skills below are the capability taxonomy — each drafted asset names the sub-skill that produced it in sub_skill.

Trace — map the ground truth

• narrative-baseline-mapper — capture the brand's current story as it actually reads today (origin story, status quo).
• category-narrative-mapper — map how the category talks so the brand can stand apart from it.
• audience-belief-mapper — surface what the audience already believes, needs, and objects to.
• positioning-truth-tracer — trace the defensible truths the positioning can stand on.

Architect — design the message system

• strategic-narrative-designer — write the core positioning statement (the roof of the house).
• message-system-architect — build the value pillars that hold the positioning up.
• brand-language-codifier — codify the vocabulary (say-this/not-that) and guardrails (banned/regulated language).
• story-bank-builder — assemble the story bank of reusable customer and brand stories.

Land — make it usable across channels

• narrative-cascade-planner — plan how the narrative cascades to each channel.
• pitch-narrative-builder — shape the narrative into a pitch.
• narrative-enablement-kit — package the narrative so teams can actually use it.
• proof-point-packager — package proof points with their evidence (a named source and stat).

Evaluate — test, monitor, gate

• message-test-designer — design tests for whether messages land.
• narrative-resonance-monitor — monitor how the narrative resonates.
• narrative-drift-monitor — flag off-brand / misaligned usage across channels (the Drift view).
• narrative-quality-auditor ⛩ — the gate: score narrative quality (NQS 0–100) via the TALE framework and output SHIP / FIX / BLOCK. This gate is prominent on the overview and on every asset.

Narrative Quality Score (NQS) gate

The narrative-quality-auditor ⛩ scores each asset and writes its own SHIP/FIX/BLOCK judgment as the item's nqs-gate — this is the auditor's call, not a numeric formula, so it is stored as-is. The overall NQS shown on the overview is a pure aggregate computed client-side from every scored item (mean of nqs-score, Math.round) with a purely numeric gate:

• SHIP (score ≥ 80) — ready to adopt as canonical.
• FIX (55–79) — usable but flagged for a concrete revision.
• BLOCK (< 55, or a proof point missing its source) — must not be published or adopted until fixed.

A BLOCK verdict from the auditor should be mirrored by a blocked status on the item until resolved.

First Run And Onboarding

On invocation, check the kelly-brand-profile settings row for readiness. If it is absent, guide setup before doing real narrative work.

Ask for non-secret setup details only: brand profile (name, category, audience, mission), the positioning inputs (for whom / who need / our brand is / that / unlike / because), channels monitored for drift and how each is reached, tone/style and reading level, official URLs, and the risk policy (banned phrases, regulated claims). Never ask the user to paste secret values into chat. Busabase authentication is ambient inside the deployed AirApp.

Busabase Resources

Three Bases under one application Folder (kelly-brand), declared in content/kelly-brand-app/app/js/config.js and the generated template sidecars under content/:

• items: every narrative asset under review — positioning, message pillars, story bank, proof points, vocabulary, and guardrails — with type, TALE phase, sub_skill, editable draft, NQS (nqs-score/nqs-gate), evidence (evidence-source/evidence-stat/evidence-url, proof points only), risk, workflow status, and the human verdict fields decision-note / decided-at.
• drift-alerts: cross-channel off-brand usage the drift monitor flagged — offending usage vs. canonical guidance, severity, and the same verdict fields.
• settings: one row per kind — kelly-brand-profile (brand profile, style/tone, official URLs, risk policy, monitored channels) and kelly-brand-lock.

Resources provision lazily through an idempotent Busabase ChangeRequest the first time the app runs in a Space; see references/brand-schema.md for exact field shapes. The overall NQS and every metric on the overview are computed client-side from the items/drift-alerts Bases on every read — they are never stored.

Local App

Default behavior is AirApp-first — give the user the clickable AirApp URL. Start pnpm --dir content/kelly-brand-app dev only when local preview/debugging is explicitly requested.

Required app views (hash routes):

• #/overview — the message house. The canonical/draft positioning statement at the top, the value pillars, the overall Narrative Quality Score (NQS) with its gate, canonical vs needs-review counts, and the open drift-alert count.
• #/narrative — message pillars plus vocabulary/guardrails, canonical vs draft, each editable with its NQS and TALE phase. Adopt / Request changes / Block per asset.
• #/stories — the story bank and the proof points with their evidence (source + stat). A proof point missing evidence is blocked.
• #/drift — off-brand/misalignment alerts the drift monitor flagged, each showing the offending usage vs the canonical guardrail, with Approve fix / Dismiss.
• #/settings — sanitized config summary: brand profile, tone/reading level, banned/regulated language, official URLs, monitored channels, data provider, and onboarding state. Never expose secret values.

The left sidebar keeps the fixed workflow filters (All, Needs Review, Canonical (= approved), Done, Blocked) as primary nav alongside the views. "Canonical" is the UI label for the approved state.

Demo mode:

• ?demo=1 opens a deterministic mock brand (invented "Fernpath") for documentation and screenshots.
• ?demo=overview, ?demo=narrative, ?demo=stories, ?demo=drift, and ?demo=settings select named scenes.
• lang=en or lang=zh forces UI chrome language for screenshots.
• Demo mode never reads or writes Busabase.

UI language: support English and Chinese chrome with Auto default. Keep the brand's own narrative content (positioning, pillars, stories) in its original language.

Review Workflow

Read references/brand-schema.md before editing the app or its domain logic.

A human verdict (approve / request_changes / block / revise for a narrative item; resolve_drift / dismiss_drift for a drift alert) writes the new status plus decision-note / decided-at directly onto the record through busabase-sdk. From a standalone local preview the write merges immediately (trusted operator); from the deployed AirApp it creates a pending ChangeRequest for the trusted process to merge.

Normal Workflow

1. Detect mode. Default to App UI.
2. When the user feeds material (positioning inputs, existing copy, channel exports): write narrative items to Busabase — draft/upsert by stable item_id across the six types, tag each with its TALE phase and sub_skill, run the narrative-quality-auditor to set each item's nqs-score/nqs-gate, and run the narrative-drift-monitor over monitored channels to (re)populate drift-alerts. The overview's overall NQS and every count recompute automatically on every read.
3. Give the user the AirApp URL (or local preview URL) to review the message house, the story bank, and the drift alerts.
4. For an item moved to changes_requested, re-draft it per the review comment and write it back to needs_review.
5. On "adopt" / "promote approved narrative": run node scripts/execute_decisions.mjs --apply to re-read approved items from Busabase and mark them done. Then, only for those promoted assets, update the canonical narrative and — if asked — export_narrative to a markdown file.
6. Never adopt or export an asset without an explicit approve verdict, and never re-promote an item already done. Never let a BLOCK/blocked proof point (no named source) reach any channel.

Safety Defaults

• Treat unverified claims, regulated claims (organic, #1, guaranteed, certified, carbon-neutral), and legal/compliance wording as approval-required. Every public number must cite a named source.
• A proof point without evidence is blocked by the NQS gate; do not adopt or publish it.
• Store only the narrative content needed for review; keep raw channel exports out of Busabase.
• Redact tokens and credential-like strings from logs, reports, and UI state; expose only boolean source-readiness for configured channels.
• Keep stable ids (item_id, alert_id) so repeated updates and executions are idempotent.
