When invoked with /marketing-intake-wizard <campaign-description> [--interactive] [--guidance "text"] [intake-directory]:
.aiwg/marketing/intake/ (or specified directory)Default Output: .aiwg/marketing/intake/ (creates directory if needed)
When invoked with /marketing-intake-wizard --complete [--interactive] [intake-directory]:
User provides campaign description, you generate complete intake forms using best-practice defaults.
Example:
/marketing-intake-wizard "Product launch campaign for new mobile app targeting Gen Z"
Ask 5-10 targeted questions to clarify critical decisions, adapting based on user responses.
Example:
/marketing-intake-wizard "Product launch campaign for new mobile app" --interactive
The --guidance parameter accepts free-form text to help tailor the intake generation. Use it for:
Business Context:
/marketing-intake-wizard "Launch new SaaS product" --guidance "B2B enterprise, Fortune 500 targets, 6-month sales cycle"
Campaign Constraints:
/marketing-intake-wizard "Holiday campaign" --guidance "Tight 3-week deadline, $50k budget, focus on social and email"
Strategic Goals:
/marketing-intake-wizard "Brand awareness campaign" --guidance "Preparing for Series A, need press coverage and thought leadership"
Industry-Specific Requirements:
/marketing-intake-wizard "Healthcare product launch" --guidance "HIPAA-compliant messaging, FDA clearance, clinical validation required"
Combination with Interactive:
/marketing-intake-wizard "Product launch" --interactive --guidance "B2B SaaS, enterprise buyers, $100k budget"
How guidance influences generation:
Read existing intake files and complete any gaps automatically if enough detail exists.
Example:
/marketing-intake-wizard --complete
# Reads .aiwg/marketing/intake/*.md files
# If sufficient detail: completes automatically
# If critical gaps: reports what's needed
Read existing intake files, detect gaps, and ask questions to fill critical missing information.
Example:
/marketing-intake-wizard --complete --interactive
# Reads .aiwg/marketing/intake/*.md files
# Detects gaps: missing timeline, unclear audience, no budget estimate
# Asks 3-5 questions to clarify gaps
# Updates intake files with completed information
If user provided --guidance "text", parse and apply throughout intake generation.
