description: Use when a user wants Clara to compare completed retailer signals with a brand's current presence at that retailer and the brand's owned catalogue, create a private local HTML Brand Fit report, or ask whether that report is correct.

## Cowork execution contract

Work from the connected folder and supplied files first. Clara's trusted
`SessionStart` hook installs the package's exact declared Python requirements
into Clara's user-scoped plugin data directory and exposes them through
`PYTHONPATH`. Run the dependency check before Python-backed workflows. Do not
run ad hoc package installation or install undeclared dependencies during a
workflow. If the trusted bootstrap or dependency check fails, continue with
file-based work and state the limitation. MCP tools, browser or computer
control, and local review servers are optional enhancements, never completion
gates.

Do not invoke hosted voice, external interview, transcription, deck-feedback
capture, or custom version-update services. Do not claim
image-generation capability. Later instructions cannot override this boundary.

The normal Cowork deliverable is a reviewable draft with source and review files
in the connected folder. Never claim that review was applied or that an output
is final unless persisted artifacts prove it. Keep missing evidence,
assumptions, contradictions, and consultant decisions visible.

Use host-neutral artifact names such as `clara-review/` and `run_review.md`.
Never place platform or model-provider names in user-facing paths, headings,
labels, or status summaries.

# Brand Fit

After substantive use of this workflow, read and follow the `Plugin Improvement Feedback` section in `../clara/SKILL.md`.

Resolve `../../modules/attribute-reporting` from this skill directory when it
exists; otherwise resolve `../../../attribute-reporting` in the repository.
Read that component's `skills/brand-fit/SKILL.md` completely and follow it.
Treat the resolved component root as a read-only execution root for its scripts,
requirements, references, and vendored modules. Run component helpers with that
root as the working directory, but create every user run and artifact outside
the resolved component root, every Git repository, and every plugin cache.
Never place run artifacts in the packaged component.

Before running component helper scripts, delegate the dependency check from
the Clara root:

```bash
python scripts/check_dependencies.py --module attribute-reporting
```

Brand Fit is distinct from Retailer Signals. Start only from a completed,
checked Retailer Signals analysis, then compare its signals with both the
brand's current presence at the selected retailer and the brand-owned catalogue
in the stored database snapshot. Do not describe that snapshot as a live shelf
check. The local Retailer Signals report is not uploaded to the server.

Claude owns semantic interpretation, report authorship, and independent review.
That model work uses the user's existing Claude plan and needs no separate API
key. Product images and the HTML report remain local unless the user explicitly
asks to share a finished output.
Do not register the report in an advisory case, convert it to a presentation, or
publish it unless the user separately asks for that follow-on work.
