Style Creation

Planned (Phase 2) The style creation workflow can be triggered two ways: explicitly by a merchandiser using a command, or implicitly as the next step in the Email → Style flow.

Triggers

Manual command

A merchandiser sends:
“Create a new style from this tech pack.”
Or uses:
With one or more attached documents.

Automated from email intake

The Email → Style workflow ends by calling this workflow with the extracted style fields pre-populated. The merchandiser still sees the draft and approves.

What Brain extracts

Whether triggered manually or via email, Brain extracts the same fields: Every field carries a confidence score and a link to its source.

Duplicate detection

Before creating anything, Brain checks for duplicates against CutMake.
  • Exact match: No new style created. Task updated with the matched style reference.
  • Near match: Brain surfaces candidates for human disambiguation rather than guessing. Options: create as new, link to existing, mark duplicate, ask client to clarify.
Examples of near-match patterns:
  • J26WGW153 vs J26WGW153A
  • J26WGW153 vs J26WGW155
  • Same image, different code
  • Same name, different client
  • Same code, different season

Draft preview

Approval actions

  • Approve and create the style in CutMake
  • Edit fields inline
  • Reject
  • Mark as duplicate
  • Ask Brain to re-read attachments

After approval

Brain writes the style record to CutMake and offers:
“Style created. The next usual step is to create a true cost. Would you like me to draft the BOM from the tech pack now?”
