Start a Creative Project Brief and Local Kickoff Board in Codex

Use RampStack's Creative Brief skill to collect missing project requirements, define approval criteria, and plan a creative kickoff on a local Markdown board.

Setup for Codex

Use Codex in a writable scratch Git project with RampStack's pinned Codex distribution. The skill uses its bundled Markdown references. We verified direct file creation with Codex CLI 0.169.0 in Ubuntu on WSL 2 using the workspace-write sandbox.

  1. Clone RampStack's claude-skills repository and check out commit 059051082ab0c1dc02d271506d7318eca6b55f51.
  2. Copy the complete dist/codex/.agents/skills/creative-brief folder into .agents/skills/creative-brief in your scratch project so the templates remain available.
  3. Start Codex from the scratch project with `codex --sandbox workspace-write`. Invoke $creative-brief with your kickoff idea. After answering the intake questions, ask Codex to create creative-brief.md and kickoff-board.md in the project root.

Example task

In an empty scratch project invoke $creative-brief and say "We need a landing page for our fictional Harbor Zine Fair." Answer the follow-up with this packet. The audience is first-time library visitors. The goal is one clear RSVP action. The headline should invite them to trade zines. The tone is friendly, short and practical. Use navy and cream, poster typography and an original paper illustration. The page should list December 12, 2026, Harbor Library and the local test RSVP URL https://example.test/rsvp. The draft deadline is December 1, 2026, and the budget is $300. Registration forms and payments are outside scope. The editor Mina approves the draft preview. Supply any visual references you have as labeled placeholders. Ask for a brief and a local board with Open questions, Ready for draft and Awaiting approval sections. To reproduce the command-line test, pass the completed intake and both filenames to `codex exec --ephemeral --sandbox workspace-write` from the scratch project. Ask Codex to save both files and check them on disk.

Expected result

Codex directly created and read back creative-brief.md and kickoff-board.md in the Ubuntu on WSL 2 test. The brief contained all ten template sections. The board contained Open questions, Ready for draft, and Awaiting approval. Both recorded December 12, 2026, Harbor Library, the test RSVP link, and Mina as the approver. Approval was pending.

Frequently asked question

Which files should I see when I ask Codex to write the creative brief and kickoff board?

Look for creative-brief.md and kickoff-board.md in your scratch project root. The install and file-write steps above were verified with Codex CLI 0.169.0 in Ubuntu on WSL 2. The sample uses a local Markdown board.
