Apply the structure from Chapter 8 to set up something new.

What you'll learn

  • How to add a new product (brand doc, product doc, the registry entry)
  • How to add a new account (avatar archetype, persona, settings)
  • How to upload an avatar reference sheet to R2 and register the URL
  • How to set up sales-channel mechanics — TikTok Shop link, ManyChat keyword automation, AI Label Trick implementation
  • How to register a new product or account in the version registry

Before this chapter

Read Chapter 8 — Products & Accounts. You need to understand the structure before you can extend it.

Sections

  1. Adding a new product — what files to create, what fields to fill
  2. Adding a new account — archetype, reference sheet, account file
  3. Uploading the avatar reference to R2 — the Worker proxy mechanics
  4. Setting up sales channel mechanics — TikTok Shop, ManyChat, Meta Shop, AI Label Trick
  5. Registering in the version registry — the canonical record

Try this

Set up a new account end-to-end. This is the most consequential assignment so far — the result lives in the registry and is referenced by every future workflow for that account.

Steps:

  1. Decide on the archetype (mother, daughter, naturopath, etc.). Find a single 3-panel reference photo (front / three-quarter / side profile) (Adding a new account)
  2. Tell Claude: "Add a new account for <brand>. Archetype is <archetype>. Reference photo is at <path>. Sales channel is <TikTok Shop | Amazon | Meta Shop>."
  3. Claude creates the account file and uploads the reference to R2 (Upload Avatar Ref to R2)
  4. Set up the sales channel mechanics — Shop link / ManyChat keyword / AI Label Trick as applicable (Setup Sales Channel Mechanics)
  5. Register the account in reference/version-registry.json so future workflows discover it (Register in Version Registry)
  6. Verify by running a test workflow that targets only this account — confirm the avatar reference is wired in correctly and the sales channel mechanics work end-to-end
