HUMAN GATEYOU APPROVE

Context + strategy attachedPLAIN MARKDOWN · NO LOCK-IN

The app is not the product.The operation is.

Own
Open every instruction. Edit every word. Keep every decision.
Run
Use Claude Code or Claude Cowork today. The source stays inspectable plain Markdown.
Approve
The Department makes and queues. Nothing publishes without your yes.

Five functions.
One controlled record.

The folder structure is the operating model. Each function knows what to read, what to make, and where the work goes next.

  1. 01
    The truth

    context/

    Your company, audience, voice, tools, and claims gate. The ground every task reads first.

  2. 02
    The direction

    strategy/

    Positioning, messaging, offers, and a content calendar. Nothing gets made without a reason.

  3. 03
    The material

    assets/

    AI-made media on a fixed lifecycle: drafts, approved, published. Channels pull only from approved.

  4. 04
    The workshop

    channels/

    Seventeen channel playbooks across owned, shared, paid, and earned — including the complete SEO pipeline shown above.

  5. 05
    The memory

    measurement/

    KPI definitions, a weekly reporting ritual, and the record that keeps the department learning.

context/claims-gate.md From the actual product — not a mockup

# Claims gate — what we may (not) write and show

The gate for all public-facing content. Every text and image the AI prepares must pass this page before it reaches a channel. Where it says TBC, the rule is not yet settled — flag it to the operator, never guess.

1. The product must always be shown 1:1 real. No AI-generated product imagery — AI may cut, crop, caption and translate real material only.

3. Claims only with evidence. Certifications, test results and superlatives are quoted as they stand in documentation — never paraphrased "more freely", never extended.

Set up in conversation. Operate in the open.

No code and no integration required on day one.

  1. 01

    Bring Claude Code or Claude Cowork.

    Those are the tools we currently prepare and test the Department with. Their plan or usage cost is separate from Cleave.

  2. 02

    Unzip the Department.

    There is no Cleave account and nothing to install. You receive ordinary files you can inspect and keep.

  3. 03

    Let it interview you.

    The AI asks about your business, audience, voice, and channels, then fills the operating context in with you.

  4. 04

    Start with one real job.

    Choose a channel, make the work, review the evidence, and move only approved output across ready/.

One business · One-time purchase

The honest answers.

What it costs, what it needs, and what happens next.

Which AI do I need?

Use Claude Code or Claude Cowork — the tools we currently prepare and test the Department with. The source is plain Markdown, so other file-reading tools can inspect it, but we do not yet claim that they run the Department correctly.

Is there an ongoing cost?

Not to Cleave. The Department is a one-time purchase. The separate AI you choose has its own paid plan or pay-as-you-go usage, billed by that provider.

Do I need to code?

No. Setup and daily work happen in plain conversation. There is no code to write and no integration is required on day one.

How does delivery work?

Fulfillment is manual for now. Reserve your copy here and we email your payment link and download within one business day.

How do lifetime updates arrive?

By email. When a new version ships, you receive the updated files to review and drop into the Department you already own.

What does the license cover?

One business. The copy is licensed to a single business you own or operate. Unrelated businesses need separate copies.

Why a folder instead of another app?

Because files remain yours. You can inspect every instruction, edit the operation, and keep the record without depending on a Cleave account.

We can fit it to your operation.
