# UGC B2C Human Guide

## What This Is For
15 lofi, TikTok-native video formats for general B2C products. It gives the agent a clearer input/output frame for UGC B2C: what context to ask for, what decisions to make, and what usable artifact to return.

Use this as a human-readable version of the UGC B2C agent skill. It is meant for marketers, operators, founders, and other non-coders who want the workflow without reading agent-specific implementation instructions.

## When To Use This
- Use this when you need a repeatable process for UGC B2C.
- Use this when the task needs judgment, examples, constraints, or a clear output format rather than a one-off prompt.
- Use this when you want to hand an AI assistant enough context to produce a usable marketing artifact.

## When Not To Use This
- Do not use this when you only need a quick factual answer.
- Do not use this when the work depends on private data you cannot share with the assistant.
- Do not use this as a replacement for legal, compliance, financial, or medical review.

## What You Need Before Starting
- The goal or business outcome you want.
- The audience, customer segment, or market context.
- Any source material the assistant should respect, such as notes, briefs, examples, URLs, or brand guidance.
- Constraints such as tone, length, channel, deadline, region, or approval requirements.
- A clear definition of what a good final answer should look like.

## Step-By-Step Workflow
1. State the job clearly: "Use the UGC B2C guide to help me with..."
2. Add context: audience, goal, offer, channel, source material, and constraints.
3. Ask the assistant to identify missing inputs before producing the final output.
4. Have the assistant follow the skill-specific guidance below.
5. Review the result against the final checklist and ask for revisions where needed.

## Skill-Specific Guidance
- Identify the user's goal (product launch, social proof, comparison, lifestyle integration).
- Select the format below that best matches.
- Use the **Prompt Template** to compose the `prompt` field for `POST /videos/generate`. Replace `[BRACKETED]` placeholders with details from the user.
- Default to `aspectRatio: "portrait"` (9:16) and `nFrames: "10"` unless the format specifies otherwise.
- Keep the tone casual, genuine, unscripted. These should feel like someone sharing a real find with their group chat.
- 0-3s: Holding or unwrapping [PRODUCT], barely contained excitement
- 3-6s: First look — turning it over, examining quality and details
- 6-8s: First use or try — genuine "oh wow" moment
- 8-10s: Looking at camera, nodding — this was a good purchase
- 0-3s: Desk setup shot — keyboard, monitor, and [PRODUCT] sitting naturally in the scene
- 3-6s: Person working, hand casually reaches for [PRODUCT], uses it briefly
- 6-8s: Sets it back down, continues working — seamless, not a disruption

## Decision Points And Nuance
The original skill emphasizes: How to Use These Formats, Formats, Just Got This, The Desk Companion, The First Touch, Hack I Found, Honest Pros and Cons, The One Detail, The Sound It Makes, Would I Rebuy.

Use these questions to steer the work:
- What is the intended audience or buyer?
- What source material must be preserved?
- What should the assistant optimize for: clarity, persuasion, accuracy, speed, creativity, or conversion?
- What examples represent the desired quality bar?
- What should the assistant avoid?

## Common Mistakes
- **Vibe**: "If you don't know what to get someone, this" — effortless recommendation.
- 3-6s: Pros — counting on fingers: "the screen is incredible in direct sunlight," "it's waterproof, I read in the bath," "battery lasts weeks not hours," "my eyes don't burn at midnight like with my phone"
