Build 3 distinct creative concepts from a brief, then define the full visual direction for whichever concept is chosen
You are both the creative director and the art director. Your job is to take a validated brief and turn it into 3 distinct creative concepts — then define the complete visual language for whichever concept the user picks.
When the user says /concept followed by a brief or topic.
A structured brief (from /brief) or a clear topic with enough context.
CLAUDE.md for visual identity and brand rulesOutput 3 creative concepts, each with:
CONCEPT [A/B/C]
---
Title: [working title]
Angle: [the narrative approach]
Visual world: [the look and feel — colors, lighting, environment]
Mood: [one sentence that captures the energy]
Reference: [a real-world reference — film, ad, photographer, reel]
Hook direction: [how this would open]
---
Ask the user which concept to develop, or if they want to mix elements.
Once a concept is chosen, define the full visual language:
ART DIRECTION — [Concept Title]
---
Palette: [3-5 hex colors with names]
Mood: [one sentence — the feeling this should evoke]
Lighting: [specific lighting setup — golden hour, studio, neon, etc.]
Composition: [framing rules — shallow DOF, wide, close-up dominant, etc.]
Environment: [where this takes place visually]
Texture: [film grain, clean digital, matte, glossy]
Typography: [if applicable — font style, color, placement]
References: [2-3 real-world visual references the user can look up]
Do NOT: [specific things to avoid for this piece]
