# Art Commission Scope Planner AI Agent Connect

> Art Commission Scope Planner helps you stop scope creep before it starts. It takes fragmented client messages and turns them into structured documents that define exactly what you will deliver, when you will deliver it, and how much changes will cost. Use it with your AI client to build clear boundaries for every commission.

## Description

You shouldn't have to argue with clients about what was actually agreed upon. This MCP acts as a buffer between a vague initial inquiry and a finalized contract. When a client sends a rambling message about a character design or a book cover, your AI client uses this toolset to extract the hard facts. It identifies what's missing, maps out your milestones, and sets the rules for how you'll hand off files. Instead of working from memory, you'll have a clear, documented scope that protects your time and your income. It handles the heavy lifting of organizing the project lifecycle so you can focus on the actual art.

## Tools

### define_handoff_and_amendment
This tool sets the rules for how you deliver final files and how you handle future change requests.

### generate_scope_confirmation
This tool produces a formal summary of the agreed work to keep both you and the client on the same page.

### identify_client_clarifications
This tool pulls out the specific questions you need to ask the client to fill in the gaps in their request.

### map_approval_milestones
This tool builds a timeline of checkpoints to manage the creative process from start to finish.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
I want to commission a character portrait for my book cover. I have some sketches and I need it to be high-res for print. I'll pay the agreed amount upon completion.
```

**Response:** 
```
The character portrait will be a high-resolution print-ready file. We will follow the Sketch, Lineart, and Color milestones. Once the Color milestone is approved, further changes will require an amendment.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Help me clarify a request for a social media icon with personal use rights.
```

**Response:** 
```
To finalize this, we need to confirm the exact dimensions for the icon and the specific social media platforms where it will be used.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Generate a scope confirmation for a logo design with full ownership rights.
```

**Response:** 
```
The scope includes the design of a unique logo with full ownership transferred to the client upon final payment and delivery of the source files.
```
