# UGC fashion Human Guide

## What This Is For
20 lofi, TikTok-native video formats for fashion brands. It gives the agent a clearer input/output frame for UGC fashion: 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 fashion 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 fashion.
- 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 fashion 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 (new collection launch, styling inspiration, size-inclusive showcase, seasonal content).
- 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 showing their friend what they're wearing.
- 0-3s: Standing in front of a full-length mirror, phone visible in reflection
- 3-6s: Slow reveal from feet up, showing the full outfit
- 6-8s: A casual spin or turn, showing the back and sides
- 8-10s: Final pose — confident, effortless, looking at the mirror
- 0-3s: Holding up the piece on a hanger, showing it flat
- 3-6s: Putting it on — pulling over head, buttoning up, zipping
- 6-8s: First look in mirror or camera — genuine reaction to the fit

## Decision Points And Nuance
The original skill emphasizes: How to Use These Formats, Formats, Mirror OOTD, Try-On in Real Time, Fabric Close-Up, Closet Dig, The Tag Check, Hanger Appeal, The Fold, Thrift Flip Energy.

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
- Starting without a clear audience or goal.
- Asking for a final artifact before sharing examples or constraints.
- Accepting a generic first draft without checking it against the intended use.
