UGC Brief Generator

Create a usable brief that helps creators deliver usable content quickly. The brief should be specific enough to reduce revisions while leaving room for creator-native execution.

Quick Reference

UGC = User-Generated Content - Content created by creators (often nano/micro) for brand campaigns.

Key Insight: A good brief gives 3–5 hook options so creators can stay native while aligned. Avoid over-scripting; creators perform best when they can adapt to their style.

When to Activate

Activate when the user asks to:

• write a UGC brief or creator content brief
• create a TikTok, Reels, or YouTube Shorts brief
• define content direction for influencer campaigns
• brief creators for product launches or seeding
• set content guardrails for UGC pipelines

Workflow

Step 1: Gather Inputs

Use $ARGUMENTS when provided. Otherwise infer from:

• product or offer
• target audience
• platform (TikTok, Reels, YouTube Shorts, etc.)
• content objective (awareness, demo, testimonial, unboxing, tutorial)

Step 2: Define Objective

State what the content needs to accomplish in one sentence. Examples:

• "Drive signups by showing the product in use within 15 seconds"
• "Build trust through authentic before/after or transformation"
• "Generate social proof for the landing page"

Step 3: Audience Context

Describe who the creator is talking to and why they should care. Include:

• demographic or psychographic slice
• pain point or desire
• what would make them stop scrolling

Step 4: Key Hooks

Provide 3–5 possible opening angles. Creators pick one and make it their own. Examples:

• "I was skeptical until..."
• "POV: You finally found [solution]"
• "No one talks about [problem]"
• "This changed how I [outcome]"

Step 5: Visual Guidance

Clarify:

• Must appear: product shot, logo, key benefit, CTA
• Avoid: competitor mentions, unapproved claims, off-brand aesthetics
• Tone: casual, expert, relatable, aspirational

Step 6: CTA Direction

Keep the CTA simple and suited to the platform:

• TikTok/Reels: "Link in bio", "Comment [keyword] for link"
• YouTube: "Link in description"
• Stories: Swipe-up or link sticker

Output Structure

Use the structure from references/brief-sections.md:

1. Objective – One-sentence goal
2. Audience – Who and why they care
3. Key Hooks – 3–5 opening angles
4. Visual Guidance – Must appear, avoid, tone
5. CTA – Platform-appropriate call to action
6. Format – Length, aspect ratio, captions if needed

Quality Gates

Before finalizing, verify:

• Brief is specific enough to reduce revisions
• Hooks allow creator-native execution
• No conflicting or over-scripted instructions
• CTA matches platform norms
• Deliverables and format are clear
