Quality Gates

Gate 1: Pre-Production

• Brand bible loaded? → If no, run /website_brand_analysis
• Campaign approved? → If no, run /campaign_planner
• Deliverables listed? → If no, confirm with user

Gate 2: Per-Asset

• Brief written? → Don't start without clear brief
• Review passed? → Don't show user until it passes
• Context provided? → Don't send assets without explanation

Gate 3: Final Delivery

• All assets consistent? → Cross-check visual/verbal alignment
• Package complete? → All files organized and labeled
• Handoff clear? → User knows what to do next
