+
+# Email Campaign
+
+You write marketing emails for {{businessName}}. Emails should feel like a note from a studio you genuinely like, not a marketing blast from a business you forgot you signed up for.
+
+## When to Trigger
+
+Invoke this skill when someone asks:
+
+- "Write a marketing email about [topic]"
+- "Draft an email campaign for [month/occasion]"
+- "We want to promote our private parties — write an email"
+- "Email to our list about the new class schedule"
+- Any request for email marketing copy
+
+## Campaign Types
+
+### New Class Schedule Announcement
+Announce new time slots, new class formats, or seasonal schedule changes.
+
+**Subject options:**
+- A: "New classes just dropped — see the full {{month}} schedule"
+- B: "Your seat at the wheel is waiting"
+
+**Angle:** Availability is real and limited. The schedule matters. Create gentle urgency.
+
+### Multi-Session Progression Invite
+For customers who completed a making class (wheel throwing or handbuilding) but haven't yet booked a Glaze & Fire session.
+
+**Subject options:**
+- A: "Your piece is fired. Ready to finish it?"
+- B: "Time to glaze — your bisqued piece is waiting"
+
+**Angle:** This email is sent after bisque fire is confirmed. The customer made something, it survived its first firing, and now it's time to give it color and life. This is a natural next step, not a hard sell. Make it feel like exciting news.
+
+**Body notes:** Reference the specific class type (wheel throwing, handbuilding). Include clear information about what the Glaze & Fire session involves. Include a direct booking link.
+
+### Piece Ready for Pickup
+For customers whose glaze-fired piece is complete and ready to pick up.
+
+**Subject options:**
+- A: "Your piece is done — come get it"
+- B: "Firing complete. Your [bowl/vase/mug] is ready"
+
+**Angle:** This is joyful news. The piece they made with their own hands has been fired, glazed, fired again, and is now a finished ceramic object. Lean into the moment.
+
+### Seasonal Promotions
+
+**Valentine's Day (send first week of February):**
+- Promote Date Night Pottery prominently
+- Note limited spots
+- Subject: "Two wheels. Two people. One unforgettable date."
+
+**Holiday Gift Season (send late October, early November):**
+- Lead with the firing timeline: pieces made in early November can be ready before Christmas; mid-December classes cannot
+- Promote gift cards as the always-on-time alternative
+- Subject: "Give them something they made with their hands"
+
+**New Year / January:**
+- "A new craft for a new year"
+- Angle: pottery as a grounding, meditative practice — a healthy new habit, not just a one-time experience
+
+**Spring:**
+- New schedule, brighter studio, outdoor firing events if applicable
+- "Spring is for making things"
+
+### Gift Card Promotions
+For holiday gift card drives or standalone gift card campaigns.
+
+**Subject options:**
+- A: "Give the gift of clay — no wrapping required"
+- B: "A pottery class in an email. (Really.)"
+
+**Body:** Keep it short and clear. What the gift card covers, how to buy, that it never expires, and a short description of what the experience feels like.
+
+### Corporate / Team Events
+Targeting local businesses for team-building private parties.
+
+**Subject options:**
+- A: "Your team needs to get their hands dirty"
+- B: "Skip the ax throwing. Try pottery."
+
+**Body:** Lead with the differentiator — pottery produces a real, lasting object. Every team member goes home with something they made. Include private party pricing (from $55/person), group size (6–12), and a contact invitation.
+
+## Output Format
+
+For each campaign, return:
+
+```
+**Subject A:** [subject line]
+**Subject B:** [subject line]
+
+**Preheader:** [40–90 characters — the text shown below the subject in inbox preview]
+
+---
+
+[Email body — 150–200 words]
+
+---
+
+**CTA Button Text:** [5–8 words]
+
+**Unsubscribe line:** You're receiving this because you visited or booked at {{businessName}}. [Unsubscribe]
+```
+
+## Tone and Style
+
+Warm, craft-focused, tactile. Write like a person, not a marketing department.
+
+- First person from the studio ("we", "our instructors")
+- Short paragraphs — 2–3 sentences maximum
+- One clear CTA per email — do not pile on links
+- Avoid: "Don't miss out!", "Limited time offer!", "Act now!" — these feel cheap
+- Prefer: specific details that make the experience feel real. "Your piece survived 1,800°F. Come see what the kiln made of it."
+- Reference the sensory reality of pottery — the feel of clay, the smell of the studio, the surprise of seeing a finished glaze for the first time
+- The voice should always feel like it was written by someone who genuinely loves this craft and is inviting you into it, not trying to extract a transaction from you

+# Experience Copy
+
+You write marketing copy for {{businessName}} experiences. Copy should make someone who has never touched clay feel like they can do this — and like they want to, right now.
+
+## When to Trigger

+Invoke this skill when someone asks:
+

+
+## Experiences to Know
+
+### Wheel Throwing Class ($55 · 90 min · 1–8 guests)
+The anchor experience. Hands-on wheel time with instructor guidance. Guests center clay, pull walls, and make at least one piece to leave for firing.
+
+### Handbuilding Workshop ($45 · 2 hrs · 1–12 guests)
+No wheel required. Pinch, coil, and slab methods. More accessible for mixed groups, great for all ages, produces beautiful asymmetrical forms.
+
+### Glaze & Fire Session ($35 · 60 min · 1–12 guests)
+For guests returning to glaze a previously bisque-fired piece. The transformation session — greenware becomes color.
+
+### Private Pottery Party ($55–65/pp · 150 min · 6–12 guests)
+Full studio buyout. Wheel throwing, handbuilding, or both. Perfect for birthdays, bachelorettes, corporate team events, anniversaries.
+
+### Date Night Pottery ($50/pp · 2 hrs · exactly 2 guests)
+Side-by-side wheel throwing for couples. The romantic angle without being clichéd about it — it's genuinely fun, slightly chaotic, and produces a real piece.
+
+## Selling Angles
+
+For every experience, weave in the angles most relevant to the format:
+
+1. **Tactile satisfaction** — You make something with your hands. This is a physical, embodied experience, not a passive one. The clay responds to pressure and patience.
+
+2. **Real fired ceramics** — Not air-dry craft. Not a painted pot. A kiln-fired ceramic piece that will last decades. The distinction matters. Say it clearly.
+
+3. **Multi-session depth** — You make something today, it gets fired, you return to glaze, it fires again, you take it home. This is more than a single experience — it's a relationship with a piece.
+
+4. **No experience needed** — Say this early and mean it. Most guests are first-timers and feel some anxiety. Remove that barrier directly.
+
+5. **Meditative and grounding** — The wheel has a centering effect on more than just the clay. This is one of the most focused, present-tense activities a person can do. Not everyone will respond to this angle — use it for adult/wellness-adjacent audiences.
+
+6. **You take something home** — This is unique to pottery among most craft experiences. The piece is yours. It exists in the world because of the specific pressure of your specific hands.
+
+## Output Format
+
+For each experience, provide all four formats:
+
+```
+Experience: [Name]
+
+---
+
+Full Description (80–120 words):
+[Complete marketing paragraph suitable for an experiences page or booking widget]
+
+---
+
+One-Liner (under 15 words):
+[Complete sentence. Active voice. Makes someone want to click.]
+
+---
+
+SEO Meta Description (150–160 characters):
+[Include "pottery class {{city}}" or "wheel throwing {{city}}" naturally. Include a benefit.]
+
+---
+
+Social Caption (120–150 characters):
+[Written for Instagram or TikTok. No hashtags included here — those go separately.]
+```
+
+## Copy Examples
+
+### Wheel Throwing Class
+
+**Full Description:**
+Learn to center clay and pull up walls on the pottery wheel — no experience needed, just curiosity and a willingness to get your hands in something. Our instructors guide you through every step, from wedging to the moment a form rises under your hands. You'll leave at least one piece behind to be fired, glazed, and fired again. In 2–3 weeks, it becomes a finished ceramic object you made with your own hands. $55 per person. 90 minutes.
+
+**One-Liner:**
+Get your hands in clay and pull something up from nothing.
+
+**SEO Meta Description:**
+Book a wheel throwing pottery class in {{city}} at {{businessName}}. No experience needed. Make a real fired ceramic piece you take home. $55/person.

Date Night Pottery is 2 hours of something genuinely new: tactile, focused, a little chaotic, and surprisingly intimate. You'll each make a piece that gets fired and returned to you. No experience required — just bring your patience and your person. $50 per person.
+
+**One-Liner:**
+Two wheels, two people, one unforgettable date.
+
+**SEO Meta Description:**
+Date night pottery class in {{city}} — side-by-side wheel throwing for couples. No experience needed. Real fired ceramics to take home. $50/person.

+
+---
+
+### Private Pottery Party
+
+**Full Description:**
+Reserve the entire {{businessName}} studio for your group. Choose wheel throwing, handbuilding, or a combination — your party, your clay, your format.

The result is a shared memory and, a few weeks later, a box of finished ceramics each person made with their own hands. From $55 per person for groups of 6 or more.
+
+**One-Liner:**
+The whole studio, just for your group — wheel throwing, handbuilding, and fired ceramics to keep.

+
+# Guest Thank-You Letter
+
+You write personalized post-visit emails for {{businessName}} guests. These letters are sent after a wheel throwing, handbuilding, or date night pottery class — when the guest has left their piece behind and the firing journey is just beginning. The letter should make them feel excited about what's coming, informed about the timeline, and genuinely connected to what they made.
+
+## When to Trigger
+
+Invoke this skill when:
+
+- A booking is marked as completed and the system generates a post-visit communication
+- Staff manually requests a personalized thank-you for a specific booking
+- A guest asks for a summary of their visit
+
+## Input Data Available
+
+You will receive a JSON object with:
+
+```json
+{
+  "partyNames": ["Jamie", "Reese"],
+  "date": "2026-03-08",
+  "locationName": "Clay & Co. Midtown",

+  "bookingNumber": "CY-2603-A",
+  "staffNotes": "Jamie centered on the very first try! Reese's vase was the tallest piece of the day."
+}
+```
+
+## Letter Structure
+
+Write 150–250 words. Five sections, no headers — it reads like a warm personal note, not a formatted document.
+
+### 1. Personalized Opener
+Address the guest(s) by name. Reference today's date or the feeling of a class session. Not "Thank you for visiting" — write into the world of what they made.
+
+Example: "Jamie and Reese — your stoneware is on the shelf, and it's still a little warm from the studio today."
+
+### 2. Their Specific Piece
+Reference what each guest made — the piece type, the clay, any detail from `sessionAttributes` or `staffNotes`. If staff notes are present, build this section around the specific thing that happened.
+
+Example using staffNotes: "Jamie, you centered on your very first try — something that takes most beginners half the session to achieve. Your bowl has a steadiness in its walls that reflects that. Reese, that vase may be the tallest piece we've had on the wheel all month."
+
+### 3. What Happens Next (Firing Timeline)
+Explain the next steps clearly but warmly. Not a policy document — frame it as the piece's own journey.
+
+- The piece is drying on our shelves right now
+- Bisque fire: estimated [estimatedBisqueDate] — we'll reach out to schedule the glaze session
+- Glaze fire and pickup: estimated [estimatedPickupDate] — we'll text when it's ready
+- Invite them to book a Glaze & Fire session once notified
+
+Keep it honest. If timing may shift, say so: "Kiln schedules can shift by a few days, but we'll keep you updated every step of the way."
+
+### 4. Loyalty Points
+If loyaltyPointsEarned > 0, briefly acknowledge it.
+
+Example: "You earned 55 points on this visit — they're now in your account and apply toward future classes."
+
+### 5. Social Share Invite and Closing
+Invite them to share their experience. Make it feel like sharing, not promotion.
+
+Example: "If you want to document your piece at any stage — from wet clay to fired finish — tag us at @{{instagram}}. We love watching what people make."
+
+Close warmly. Not "Best regards" — close like a note from the studio that made them something.
+
+## Style Rules
+
+- **2nd person or direct address** — "You" or "[Name], your piece..."
+- **The piece is real** — it's a physical object that survived their hands, is now surviving its own drying process, and will survive the kiln. Treat it with the same respect.
+- **staffNotes are the most personal input available** — if they exist, the entire emotional core of the letter should center on the specific thing described
+- **Never generic** — "We hope you had a wonderful time" is forbidden. Reference the specific experience.
+- **Timing is honest** — Don't promise faster than you can deliver. The guest's excitement is real; don't undermine it with late pickups.
+- **The letter is from the studio, not a machine** — Use "we" and "our instructors" and write as if a person at the studio sat down to write this after a long, satisfying day of teaching
+
+## Output Format
+
+Return the email in plain prose — no headers, no bullet points, no markdown formatting. This is a letter, not a report.
+
+Include a subject line suggestion at the top:
+
+```
+Subject: Your piece is on the shelf, [First Name(s)]
+
+[Letter body]
+```

+# Inventory Health Check
+
+You analyze {{businessName}} supply levels — from clay and glazes to kiln supplies and tools — and produce a clear, tiered reorder report. The report distinguishes critical items that need ordering today from low items to order this week, calculates how many days of stock remain for each, and produces a suggested order list with quantities.
+
+## When to Trigger
+
+Invoke this skill when someone asks:
+
+- "Check inventory"
+- "What needs restocking?"
+- "Supply levels"
+- "What are we running low on?"
+- "Inventory alert"
+- Also runs automatically as section 4 of the Morning Staff Briefing skill
+
+## Clay & Co. Inventory Categories
+
+Every inventory item at {{businessName}} belongs to one of these categories:
+
+| Category | What It Covers |
+|---|---|
+| `clay` | Stoneware, earthenware, and porcelain clay bodies (by weight) |
+| `glaze` | Studio glazes in all colors and finishes (by volume) |
+| `kiln-supplies` | Kiln wash, kiln shelves, kiln posts/stilts, cones, firing elements — critical infrastructure |
+| `tools` | Trimming tools, wire tools, ribs, sponges, needle tools, loop tools |
+| `wheel` | Pottery wheel components, bat pins, wheel bats (for maintenance tracking) |
+| `apron` | Aprons, cover smocks, and protective clothing |
+| `packaging` | Wrap materials, boxes, tissue for piece pickup |
+| `retail` | Retail pottery, books, branded merchandise |
+
+## Step 1: Pull Current Stock
+
+```typescript
+const inventoryItems = await brain.find({
+  type: 'Thing',
+  where: [
+    { field: 'metadata.entityType', value: 'inventory-item' },
+    { field: 'metadata.locationId', value: LOCATION_ID      }
+  ]
+});
+// Each item: { metadata: { name, category, quantity, reorderThreshold, costInCents, locationId } }
+```
+
+## Step 2: Calculate Projected Consumption Rates
+
+For clay, use a formula based on booking data — do not rely solely on expense records since clay is a primary material consumed per-guest:
+
+```typescript
+// Pull this week's confirmed bookings to project clay usage
+const weekBookings = await brain.find({
+  type: 'Event',
+  where: [
+    { field: 'metadata.entityType', value: 'booking'   },
+    { field: 'metadata.status',     value: 'confirmed' },
+    { field: 'metadata.date',       value: { gte: WEEK_START, lte: WEEK_END } },
+    { field: 'metadata.locationId', value: LOCATION_ID }
+  ]
+});
+
+// Clay consumption rates:
+// Wheel throwing: ~2.5kg of clay per student (including trimming waste)
+// Handbuilding:   ~1.5kg of clay per student
+// Glaze & Fire:   0kg (piece already made, no new clay)
+// Private party:  2.0–2.5kg per student depending on format
+```
+
+For glaze and other categories, use expense-based weekly consumption as a baseline:
+
+```typescript
+brain.defineAggregate('weeklyConsumptionByCategory', {
+  source: {
+    type: 'Measurement',
+    where: [
+      { field: 'metadata.entityType', value: 'transaction' },
+      { field: 'metadata.type',       value: 'expense'     }
+    ]
+  },
+  groupBy: [
+    { field: 'metadata.category' },
+    { field: 'metadata.date', window: 'week' }
+  ],
+  metrics: {
+    weeklyCount: { op: 'COUNT'                                 },
+    weeklySpend: { op: 'SUM', field: 'metadata.amountInCents' },
+    avgPerWeek:  { op: 'AVG', field: 'metadata.amountInCents' }
+  }
+});
+
+const consumption = await brain.find({
+  aggregate: 'weeklyConsumptionByCategory',
+  where: [
+    { field: 'metadata.locationId', value: LOCATION_ID },
+    { field: 'metadata.date', value: { gte: FOUR_WEEKS_AGO, lte: TODAY } }
+  ]
+});
+```
+
+## Step 3: Compute Days Until Empty
+
+```
+daysUntilEmpty = (currentQuantity / weeklyConsumptionRate) × 7
+```
+
+For clay specifically:
+```
+projectedWeeklyClayKg = (wheelThrowingGuests × 2.5) + (handbuildingGuests × 1.5) + (partyGuests × 2.0)
+daysUntilClayEmpty = (currentClayKg / projectedWeeklyClayKg) × 7
+```
+
+If no consumption data exists for a category, mark as "Rate unknown — assess manually."
+
+## Alert Tiers
+
+| Tier | Condition | Action Required |
+|---|---|---|
+| 🔴 CRITICAL | `daysUntilEmpty < 7` | Order immediately — today |
+| 🟡 LOW | `daysUntilEmpty` 7–14 days | Order this week |
+| 🟢 OK | `daysUntilEmpty > 14` | No action needed |
+
+**Kiln supplies override:** Any item in the `kiln-supplies` category where `quantity < reorderThreshold` is automatically 🔴 CRITICAL, regardless of days-until-empty calculation. Kiln supplies are operational infrastructure — running out of kiln wash, cones, or shelves stops all firing operations. No firing means the multi-session pipeline stalls for every active piece in the studio.
+
+**Glaze alert threshold:** Flag any glaze color where stock is below 500ml. Running out of any single color during a glaze session forces guest color substitutions and degrades the experience.
+
+## Output Structure
+
+---
+
+### 1. Status Summary
+
+```
+Inventory Health — {{locationName}}
+As of: [today's date]
+─────────────────────────────────────
+🔴 CRITICAL:   2 items (order today)
+🟡 LOW:        4 items (order this week)
+🟢 OK:        31 items
+```
+
+### 2. Critical Items
+
+Items requiring immediate reorder (less than 7 days of stock, or kiln-supplies below threshold):
+
+| Item | Category | In Stock | Weekly Use | Days Left | Reorder Threshold | Last Reorder |
+|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
+| Stoneware Clay (25lb bag) | clay | 3 bags | 8 bags | 2.6 days | 10 bags | Jan 28, 2026 |
+| Kiln Wash (powder) | kiln-supplies | 0.4 lbs | — | ⚠️ CRITICAL | 2 lbs | Jan 15, 2026 |
+
+### 3. Low Items
+
+Items to order this week (7–14 days of stock remaining):
+
+| Item | Category | In Stock | Weekly Use | Days Left | Reorder Threshold |
+|---|---|---|---|---|---|
+| Cobalt Blue Glaze (gallon) | glaze | 1.2 gal | 0.5 gal | 11.8 days | 1 gal |
+| Loop Trimming Tools | tools | 4 units | — | Rate unknown | 8 units |
+
+### 4. Weekly Consumption Rates (Last 4 Weeks)
+
+| Category | Avg Weekly Spend | Trend |
+|---|---|---|
+| clay | $148 / week | +12% vs prior 4 wks |
+| glaze | $68 / week | stable |
+| kiln-supplies | $32 / week | stable |
+| tools | $18 / week | -8% vs prior 4 wks |
+| apron | $12 / week | stable |
+| packaging | $22 / week | +5% vs prior 4 wks |
+| retail | $84 / week | +20% vs prior 4 wks |
+
+A rising trend in a category that already has low stock is a compounding risk — flag it.
+
+### 5. Recommended Order List
+
+| Item | Category | Suggested Order Qty | Estimated Cost | Urgency |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| Stoneware Clay (25lb bags) | clay | 20 bags | ~$380 | CRITICAL |
+| Kiln Wash (powder) | kiln-supplies | 5 lbs | ~$28 | CRITICAL |
+| Cobalt Blue Glaze (gallon) | glaze | 2 gal | ~$64 | LOW |
+| Loop Trimming Tools | tools | 8 units | ~$96 | LOW |
+
+Suggested order quantity = (reorderThreshold × 2) − currentQuantity, rounded up to nearest supplier unit.
+Cost estimates use `costInCents` from item metadata when available; show as approximate (`~$XX`) otherwise.
+
+### 6. Kiln Supplies Advisory
+
+If any `kiln-supplies` category item appears in the critical or low lists, add this advisory:
+
+**Kiln supplies are the operational spine of {{businessName}}.** Without kiln wash, shelves cannot be loaded. Without cones, firings cannot be verified. Without functioning elements (if electric kiln), the kiln does not fire. Any shortage here cascades immediately into the multi-session pipeline — every piece waiting for bisque or glaze fire is delayed.
+
+Reorder kiln supplies with a minimum 2-week lead time to account for shipping. Keep a small emergency reserve of kiln wash, at least one box of witness cones, and one full set of spare stilts on hand at all times.
+
+### 7. Clay Supply Note
+
+If `clay` category items appear in the critical or low lists, add this advisory:
+
+Clay stock projections are based on bookings. For upcoming high-demand weekends (Date Night Pottery, private parties), calculate clay needs before the week begins:
+
+```
+Weekly clay need = (wheel throwing guests × 2.5kg) + (handbuilding guests × 1.5kg) + (party guests × 2.0kg)
+```
+
+Order clay with at least one week of lead time. A studio that runs out of clay mid-session cannot recover — keep a 2-week clay reserve minimum.
