3.Install the 6 marketer skills

A skill is a small markdown file that teaches your AI how a brand marketer thinks. These six turn a general AI into a marketing director.

Install

curl -fsSL https://storyboard.daydream.monster/install-skills.sh | bashCopy

iwr -useb https://storyboard.daydream.monster/install-skills.ps1 | iexCopy

Step A — download the bundle

Either click to download:

📥 get-started-4-pm.tar.gz — then double-click to unzip on Mac, or right-click → Extract All on Windows.

Or run in your terminal (Mac / Linux / Windows 10+ all support these):

curl -O https://storyboard.daydream.monster/docs/get-started-4-pm/get-started-4-pm.tar.gz
tar xzf get-started-4-pm.tar.gzCopy

You'll end up with a skills/ folder containing six .md files.

Step B — copy skills to your AI tool

Pick your tool. Each tab shows commands for Mac, Linux, and Windows. Run them in the folder where you unzipped skills/.

mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp skills/*.md ~/.claude/skills/Copy

New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path "$env:USERPROFILE\.claude\skills"
Copy-Item skills\*.md "$env:USERPROFILE\.claude\skills\"Copy

mkdir -p ~/Documents/Claude/skills
cp skills/*.md ~/Documents/Claude/skills/Copy

mkdir -p ~/Documents/Claude/skills
cp skills/*.md ~/Documents/Claude/skills/Copy

New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path "$env:USERPROFILE\Documents\Claude\skills"
Copy-Item skills\*.md "$env:USERPROFILE\Documents\Claude\skills\"Copy

# Mac / Linux
mkdir -p ~/.cursor/rules
cp skills/*.md ~/.cursor/rules/

# Windows (PowerShell)
New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path "$env:USERPROFILE\.cursor\rules"
Copy-Item skills\*.md "$env:USERPROFILE\.cursor\rules\"Copy

# Mac / Linux
mkdir -p ~/.codex
cat skills/*.md >> ~/.codex/AGENTS.md

# Windows (PowerShell)
New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path "$env:USERPROFILE\.codex"

Quick first try — one prompt, no playbook

Paste this into your AI tool. Edit the four highlighted lines to match what you're launching. Send.

# Paste into your AI tool — edit the four highlighted lines
Use Storyboard to make a 6-image moodboard for a product launch.

Brand: Aurora Run
Product: a new pair of trail running shoes called "Aurora Trail 01"
Audience: weekend trail runners, 28–45, who value performance over fashion logos
Aesthetic: cinematic outdoor, early-morning golden hour, real rock and dust, not over-polished

Render 6 slots: 2 hero product shots, 2 lifestyle (runner in motion),
1 detail close-up, 1 atmospheric landscape (no product). Premium image
models. Muted earth tones plus one accent. Share the viewer URL when done.Copy

Your AI will pick the right Storyboard calls and hand back a shareable URL with palette swatches.

4.Run your first playbook

A playbook walks your AI through a full launch with you approving each step. No surprise spend, no "wait, what did it do?"

The flow

1. Open the product-launch playbook on the viewer page
2. Fill in the brief (brand, product, audience, aesthetic, palette, launch date, slug)
3. Click Copy playbook
4. Paste into your AI tool
5. Your AI runs each stage, stops to show you what it made, asks one question
6. You answer with one word: approve, refine, swap, or redo
7. End of run: full launch package on disk + video cuts

Other playbooks

5.Browse case studies for inspiration

Real campaigns shipped through Storyboard. Use them as references when picking an aesthetic, or show one to your CMO.

Glossary — plain definitions

MCP

The protocol Claude uses to talk to outside tools. Think of it like a USB-C port — connect Storyboard once, every tool inside is now available in any Claude chat.

Storyboard

The MCP server you're connecting to. Hosts 50+ creative capabilities (image gen, video, voice, layout, scheduling) on a single billing rail.

Daydream API key

Your single credential. Works across Claude Code, Desktop, cowork, the CLI. Pay-as-you-go credits, no subscription.

Skill

A small markdown file that teaches Claude how to think about a domain. The 6 in this bundle make Claude act like a brand marketer.

Playbook

A self-contained recipe you paste into Claude. Walks through a full workflow (launch, capsule, charity appeal, etc.) with you approving at each step.

Brief

The 4–8 blanks at the top of each playbook. You fill them in, Claude does the rest. Save the brief; rerun next quarter.

Brand kit

Your palette + voice keywords + reference imagery, locked once. Every later step inherits it so all your campaign assets stay coherent.

Moodboard

The visual world of a campaign — typically 12 images mixing hero shots, lifestyle, product detail, surface textures, typography. The thing a CMO signs off on before money gets spent.

Capability

Storyboard's word for "one tool." E.g. the capability that generates images, or the one that adds captions to video. You don't call them by name — Claude picks the right one based on what you ask.

Bearer token

How your API key is sent. The string Authorization: Bearer sk_... goes in a header. Set it once in the Claude config; never see it again.
