Creative Director Suite

Creative Director Suite

v0.6.2 — Excel-first Coherence Ops for creative production teams.

From code-first governance to Excel-first governance — Coherence Ops meets teams where they already work.

The Creative Director Suite proves that the same governance primitives — claims, assumptions, decisions, drift, patches — work inside a shared Excel workbook that any team can edit in SharePoint. No code required. Same rigor.

---

Quick Start

# Generate the governed workbook
pip install -e ".[excel]"
python tools/generate_cds_workbook.py

# Or explore the sample dataset
ls datasets/creative_director_suite/samples/

Five-step workflow:

1. Download the template workbook from templates/creative_director_suite/
2. Fill BOOT!A1 (or use the pre-filled template)
3. Attach workbook to your LLM app (ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot)
4. Respond to: "What Would You Like To Do Today?"
5. Paste write-back rows into Excel tables

Workbook Structure

The generated workbook contains 12 sheets:

Sheet	Purpose
BOOT	LLM system prompt in A1 — initializes context for the entire workbook
QUICK_START	One-page setup guide for new users
DATA_DICTIONARY	Column definitions across all tables
6_LENS_PROMPTS	PRIME / EXEC / OPS / AI-TECH / HUMAN / ICON prompt templates
BRIEF_MATRIX	Client × Campaign brief cross-reference
DELIVERABLES	Governance table — tblDeliverables
DLR_CAPTURE	Governance table — tblDLR (Decision Ledger Records)
CLAIMS	Governance table — tblClaims
ASSUMPTIONS	Governance table — tblAssumptions
PATCH_LOG	Governance table — tblPatchLog
CANON_SYNC	Governance table — tblCanonGuardrails
CI_DASHBOARD	Coherence Index dashboard with live metrics

---

Governance Tables

Seven named Excel tables provide deterministic addressing for LLM parsing:

Table	Maps To	Purpose
tblTimeline	Decision Scaffold (DS)	Milestone tracking with drift/patch status
tblDeliverables	Decision Scaffold (DS)	Asset-level deliverable tracking
tblDLR	Decision Ledger Record (DLR)	Formal decision capture with rationale
tblClaims	Atomic Claims	Verifiable claims tied to decisions
tblAssumptions	Reasoning Scaffold (RS)	Assumptions with confidence and TTL
tblPatchLog	Patch Packets	Drift → Patch correction log
tblCanonGuardrails	Canon	Blessed rules and constraints

Each table has 25 sample rows of Sanrio-themed creative production data.

Dataset

Eight CSVs in datasets/creative_director_suite/samples/:

CSV	Rows	Description
Sample_Clients.csv	25	Client organizations
Sample_Campaigns.csv	25	Campaign definitions
Sample_Projects.csv	25	Production projects
Sample_Assets.csv	25	Creative assets
Sample_Shots.csv	25	Shot-level production data
Sample_Tasks.csv	25	Task assignments
Sample_Prompts.csv	25	LLM prompt records
Sample_Approvals.csv	25	Approval workflows

Relationships: Clients → Campaigns → Projects → Assets → Shots → Tasks → Prompts → Approvals

BOOT Protocol

The BOOT sheet cell A1 contains a structured system prompt that tells the LLM:

• WHO — Creative Ops Copilot (Coherence Ops: Truth · Reasoning · Memory)
• OPENING MOVE — Read all tables, then ask "What Would You Like To Do Today?"
• MENU — 7 options (Build Claims, Refresh Assumptions, Detect Drift, Propose Patch, Canon Audit, Exec Summary, Asset Checklist)
• RULES — Use ONLY workbook data, cite TableName + Row_IDs, enforce Canon Guardrails
• OUTPUT — Findings → Recommended Actions → Write-back rows for Excel

See Excel-First Governance for the full BOOT!A1 spec, table schemas, and 6-lens prompting model.
