Individual skill

claims-gate

Checks every claim in a piece of copy (ads, emails, posts, pages, scripts, briefs) against the claims the brand has approved. Keeps, rewrites or cuts each line, and lists the proof that would bring a cut line back. When a line the copy needs has no approval, it asks for a short sign-off on the 3 or 4 lines that matter and records the answer. Use alone when you already have the copy and a brand set up; otherwise run the playbook for the job (e.g. make-static-ads, make-content, write-outreach).

# claims-gate

One contract for every playbook that writes copy, scripts, briefs, emails, posts, pages or captions. Only this atom ever writes a claim as approved; claims and markers already in the brand (from the GooseWorks app or an earlier brand pass) are read the same way. The calling playbook keeps its own extract step (on-image text, video scenes, page sections) and hands this atom the spans.

Say it to the human in plain words ("two lines need your OK before I use them"), never as tool, fact or playbook names.

## 1. Load the contract (once per job)

**Which path.** Use the **older path** (steps 1–2: the marker and its `Claims you may use —` facts) on every server today, including ones that list `brand_knowledge_*` tools: approvals customers already gave live there, and a chat sign-off recorded by §5 is usable at once. Also count a brain claim a person confirmed (step 5). Where the two disagree, the stricter wins. Steps 3, 4, 6, 7 and 8 always apply. (The **brain path**, where only brain-confirmed claims count and a chat yes waits for the app, §4.6, applies once the brand's server says chat approvals are recorded only in the app.)

**Local mode** (no GooseWorks, [the `marketing-guide` skill](../marketing-guide/SKILL.md) §5): the contract is `gooseworks-local/<brand-slug>/claims.md`, read and written by [`local-claims.md`](local-claims.md) (next to this file) in place of steps 1–3 and 5. Only a row whose newest status is `approved` and that passes its checks (scope, date, the approver's own words, proof reopened) is usable; declined, pending and retired rows never are. The `dont`s and `must`s come from `brand-notes.md`. §2–4 run as written, with `local-claims.md` for who approves and the record.

1. `gooseworks:brand_read` `sections: ["learnings"]` (lean is enough: it returns every `must` and `dont`).
2. **Older path:** find the **marker**: a `must` fact starting `Claims sign-off (learn-my-brand,` (a fixed format: the opening names its first writer and stays as it is). Read its status token and match it exactly:
