Content Reviewer

This skill helps you systematically review influencer content submissions to ensure they meet brand guidelines, campaign objectives, and legal requirements before going live.

Quick Start

Shortest invocation:

Review this influencer content submission: [content description/link]

Common scenario — gate a submission against a campaign brief:

Check if this TikTok post meets our brand guidelines for [campaign], then give me an approve/revise/reject decision and feedback I can send the creator

Skill Contract

• Reads: the content submission (link, description, caption, media notes), the campaign brief and key messages, brand guidelines, disclosure/FTC requirements, platform technical specs, and any prior review notes in memory/influencer/content-reviewer/.
• Writes: a review record at memory/influencer/content-reviewer/YYYY-MM-DD-<topic>.md containing category scores, the gate decision, and the feedback message.
• Promotes: durable facts (final approval status, recurring compliance gaps, creator-specific notes) to memory/hot-cache.md.
• Done when:
  1. Every must-pass category (brand alignment, message accuracy, compliance, technical specs) has an explicit pass/fail with evidence.
  2. A single decision is recorded — APPROVED, APPROVED WITH MINOR CHANGES, REVISIONS REQUIRED, or REJECTED.
  3. A constructive feedback message for the creator exists (when changes are needed).
• Primary next skill: contract-helper

Handoff Summary

Emit the standard shape from skill-contract.md §Handoff Summary Format.

Data Sources

This family needs no live integrations (Tier 1). The skill works end to end from inputs you provide: paste the content link or description, the brief, brand guidelines, and platform specs, and it produces the review.

Optional connectors can speed up evidence gathering where available:

• ~~social platform analytics — pull native post specs, engagement signals, and platform disclosure flags (e.g. "Paid partnership" label).
• ~~influencer database — load the creator's history, prior submissions, and past compliance flags.
• ~~CRM — link the review back to the deal, campaign owner, and approval chain.
• ~~compliance reference — current FTC / platform disclosure rules for the relevant market.

With no connector configured, ask the user for the missing inputs and proceed. See CONNECTORS.md for the keyless data recipes.

   **Compliance Score**: [X/10]
   **Status**: ✅ Pass / ❌ Fail (no partial pass for compliance)
   

   C³ ART veto enforcement. This compliance gate is the C³ Content review (ART). Two ART items are veto-level — a failure forces the overall decision to Reject (never "revise"), and you must cite the veto ID:

   • T1 · FTC Disclosure (maps to the Disclosure Check + FTC compliance rows above) — missing or inadequate disclosure on sponsored content → Reject (T1). Regulatory basis: FTC 16 CFR §255 and the 2024 Trade Regulation Rule (16 CFR Part 465). Not legal advice.
   • T2 · Claim Integrity (maps to Claims substantiation) — false or unsubstantiated claims → Reject (T2).

Example Review

User: "Review this TikTok video submission for our protein powder campaign"

Output:

# Content Review: @fitnessfiona TikTok

## Quick Summary

| Category | Score | Status |
|----------|-------|--------|
| Brand Alignment | 9/10 | ✅ |
| Message Accuracy | 7/10 | ⚠️ |
| Compliance | 5/10 | ❌ |
| Quality | 9/10 | ✅ |

**Decision**: ❌ REJECTED — **Reject (T1 · FTC Disclosure veto)**

> A missing/inadequate disclosure on sponsored content is the ART **T1 veto** — it forces a Reject, not a revise (FTC 16 CFR §255). The creator must fix the veto item and resubmit; the non-veto items below are required on resubmission.

## Issues Found

### Veto — forces Reject (Compliance)
1. **Missing disclosure** - No #ad or sponsored disclosure visible → **T1 veto → Reject**
   - Fix: Add #ad in caption and/or verbal disclosure in first 3 seconds

2. **Promo code not mentioned** - Brief required promo code "FIONA20"
   - Fix: Add verbal mention and caption inclusion

### Should Fix (Messaging)
1. **Missing key message** - "20g protein per serving" not mentioned
   - Fix: Add this stat when showing the product

## What's Great
- Authentic workout integration
- High production quality
- Engaging hook
- Great product showcase

## Feedback Message
[Generated constructive feedback for influencer]

Next Best Skill

Primary: contract-helper — once content is approved (or once review feedback exposes a gap the agreement should cover), fold guidelines, usage rights, and approval terms into the partnership contract.

Alternates (same Activate family):

• content-amplifier — when content is approved and ready to scale through paid or owned channels.
• performance-analyzer — when the piece is live and you want to measure outcomes.

Termination note (visited-set): if a recommended skill has already been invoked this session, stop and report the chain as complete rather than re-running it. Cap any handoff chain at max-depth 3.
