Flow 3

🎴 Pip Decks — 280 Cards → RAG → Tactic Picker

The full 5-deck library (Storyteller, Workshop, Team, Strategy, Innovation / Opportunity) is now in the IEXDG RAG as structured card data. Your Apr 13 guardrail implemented: use methodology by name, block verbatim reproduction.

INPUT

Storyteller PDF Workshop PDF Team PDF Strategy PDF Innovation PDF 5× Drag-and-drop ZIPs

PARSE

pypdf extract Skip preamble + TOC Header/noise regex filter Card title heuristic

ENRICH

ELCC pillar hint (keyword) Channel hint (per-deck default) Page + deck metadata

STORE

pipdecks_knowledge.json (structured KB) pipdecks_full_library.md (RAG source) iexdg_content_prompt.txt (library index)

INDEX

IEXDG RAG: 10,392 chunks / 9.36 MB Type: strategy_intel 280 card chunks (56 × 5 decks)

USE

tactic_picker.py Keyword rules → tactic match Channel defaults Guardrail: block verbatim reproduction

Tactic picker — live examples

Content goal	Channel	Picked Tactic	Deck
LinkedIn opening hook for VP HR	linkedin_open	Story Hooks	Storyteller
Close executive email memorably	linkedin_close	Rolls Royce Moment	Storyteller
Case study about City of Tucson	case_study	Man In A Hole	Storyteller
Data-driven engagement post	linkedin_body	Data Detectives	Storyteller
Workshop opening	workshop_kickoff	Hopes & Fears	Workshop
Contrarian framing	contrarian	The Dragon & The City	Storyteller

Your Apr 13 guardrail — implemented

Your meeting summary directive: "Use frameworks/tactic names and methodologies as scaffolding. Avoid verbatim reproduction." The tactic picker now passes tactic NAME + CONCEPT hint to Claude's prompt, NOT the raw card body. Output template includes  comment so every piece of content declares which tactic it applied. Claude writes original copy following the tactic's pattern.

Flow 4

📅 GHL Content Calendar — 14 Posts Scheduled

🍳 What's Next

Dr. DNicole reviews GHL calendar

14 scheduled posts in her Social Planner UI. She approves, edits, or rewrites before they auto-fire.

WAITING

Hugging Face API key

She found it. She needs to share (text 913-439-0166 or email). Then I configure.

WAITING

HeyGen first video generation

Once training completes, generate a 60-second test video using DNicole Ambassador avatar + her ElevenLabs voice clone.

Wire tactic picker into content drop

Each generated LinkedIn post queries tactic_picker for best match. Every post declares its tactic in a comment header.

Workflow AI Builder — rebuild Culture Pulse tier flows

Now that GHL API is back, use Workflow AI Builder to regenerate all 8 Culture Pulse workflows from natural-language prompts.

Nexus MCP server skeleton

Expose tactic_picker + prospect_research + content_drop_status as MCP tools so GHL Agent Studio can call Nexus directly.
