## Parameter Handling

### --guidance Parameter

**Purpose**: Provide upfront direction to tailor priorities and approach

**Examples**:
```bash
--guidance "B2B focus, LinkedIn and email primary channels"
--guidance "Aggressive timeline, 3 weeks to launch"
--guidance "Limited budget, prioritize organic over paid"
```

**How Applied**:
- Parse guidance for keywords: priority, timeline, audience, focus, constraints
- Adjust agent emphasis and output depth based on stated priorities
- Modify deliverable order based on timeline constraints
- Influence scope and detail level based on context

### --interactive Parameter

**Purpose**: Guide through discovery questions for comprehensive input

**Questions Asked** (if --interactive):
1. What are the primary objectives for this campaign?
2. Who is the target audience? (segments, personas)
3. What is the available budget range?
4. What are the key dates and constraints?
5. Which channels are priorities?
6. Who are the key stakeholders and approvers?

# Basic campaign kickoff
/campaign-kickoff "Spring Product Launch"

# Specify campaign type
/campaign-kickoff "Brand Awareness Q2" --campaign-type awareness

# With custom project directory
/campaign-kickoff "Holiday Campaign" --project-directory ./marketing

# With strategic guidance
