- If source files conflict, preserve the facts from the newest or highest-authority file and call out the conflict in the final summary.
- Do not invent claims, testimonials, legal disclaimers, revenue numbers, scarcity, or guarantees that are not present in the provided files.
- Use generic funnel strategy language only. Do not name or imply endorsement by any specific public marketer or brand.
- If payment, email, analytics, or CRM integrations are missing, build clear placeholders and document the exact variables or endpoints still needed.

- The funnel can be built from linked Markdown/source files without requiring the agent to guess the offer.
- Every page or step has a clear primary action and one measurable conversion event.
- The output includes page structure, copy blocks, component notes, and implementation tasks.
- Mobile, tablet, and desktop layouts are accounted for.
- The agent reports which source files it used and which assumptions remain unresolved.

It maps, then builds
Your agent reads the blueprint first, then builds the funnel into your app around the offer, audience, and stack.
Works with your stack
These blueprints are written to adapt. They tell the agent to detect your framework, match your existing design system, and use your source files instead of guessing the offer.
Need it tighter than that? Customize the funnel file and tell it exactly which source docs and stack to use.
