# See creator rates in your category

See aggregate rate bands, deal activity, and movement across your category.

## Before you begin

1. Check whether the Creatorland MCP tools and the companion skills this playbook uses are already available. If they are, do not reinstall them.
2. If the Creatorland MCP is not connected, send the user to https://mcp.creatorland.com/skills and help them connect it in their current AI client.
3. If the client supports the Creatorland skills plugin but a skill is missing, install the current Creatorland skills package using the method that client supports. Do not assume every client supports `/plugin` commands.
4. Confirm Creatorland authentication before any paid tool call. The first tool call may open a one-time OAuth sign-in.
5. If the client cannot install companion skills or store local files, run the workflow directly with the available MCP tools and keep preferences in-session.

## What to ask for

- The **category / vertical** (required). If unknown, infer it from a brand URL and confirm before running.
- A brand URL is optional and only used to infer the category.

## Run this workflow

1. Confirm the vertical.
2. Run `query_market_intelligence` / `vertical-briefing` for that category: aggregate rate bands, deal-type mix, deal volume, and recent movement.
3. If the user wants deck-ready numbers, format them with `deck-inserts` so each stat carries its provenance line.

## Deliverable

An aggregate read on category rates and deal activity, cited. Describe results as **aggregate category benchmarks** — do not imply access to individual private deal rows.

## Honesty rules

This is market context, not any single creator's or brand's confidential rate.
