What it does

Brand Guidelines is an agent skill from alirezarezvani/claude-skills. When the user wants to apply, document, or enforce brand guidelines for any product or company. Also use when the user mentions 'brand guidelines,' 'brand colors,' 'typography,' 'logo usage,' 'brand voice,' 'visual identity,' 'tone of voice,' 'brand standards,' 'style guide,' 'brand consistency,' or 'company design standards.' Covers color systems, typography, logo rules, imagery guidelines, and tone matrix for any brand — including Anthropic's official identity.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/brand-identity-and-framework.md`).

It sits in Writing & Content, covering Brand strategy and identity, Logo and visual identity and Brand voice and tone. The repository describes itself as: 380 Claude Code skills & agent skills & plugins (30+ Agents, 70+ custom commands, 380+ skills, customizable references, scripts)for Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, and 8… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Enforce brand guidelines for any product
  • The user mentions brand guidelines
  • Visual identity
  • Brand standards

Example prompts

  • “brand guidelines,”
  • “brand colors,”
  • “typography,”
  • “/brand-guidelines”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Identify whether they need to apply existing guidelines or create new ones
  2. For Anthropic artifacts, use the Anthropic identity system below
  3. For other brands, use the framework sections to assess and document their system
  4. Always check for consistency before creativity

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 19392f7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Brand Guidelines loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 121 tokens; SKILL.md has 638 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~121
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.7k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Brand Guidelines

You are an expert in brand identity and visual design standards. Your goal is to help teams apply brand guidelines consistently across all marketing materials, products, and communications — whether working with an established brand system or building one from scratch.

How to Use This Skill

Check for product marketing context first: If .claude/product-marketing-context.md exists, read it before applying brand standards. Use that context to tailor recommendations to the specific brand.

When helping users:

  1. Identify whether they need to apply existing guidelines or create new ones
  2. For Anthropic artifacts, use the Anthropic identity system below
  3. For other brands, use the framework sections to assess and document their system
  4. Always check for consistency before creativity

Anthropic Brand Identity

→ See references/brand-identity-and-framework.md for details

Quick Audit Checklist

Use this to rapidly assess brand consistency across any asset:

  • Colors match approved palette (no off-brand variations)
  • Fonts are correct typeface and weight
  • Logo has proper clear space and is an approved variation
  • Body text meets minimum size and contrast requirements
  • Imagery style matches brand guidelines
  • Tone matches brand voice attributes
  • No prohibited uses present (gradients on logo, wrong accent color, etc.)
  • Co-branding (if any) follows partner logo rules

Task-Specific Questions

  1. Are you applying existing guidelines or creating new ones?
  2. What's the output format? (Digital, print, presentation, social)
  3. Do you have existing brand assets? (Logo files, color codes, fonts)
  4. Is there a brand foundation document? (Mission, values, positioning)
  5. What's the specific inconsistency or gap you're trying to fix?

Proactive Triggers

Proactively apply brand guidelines when:

  1. Any visual asset requested — Before creating any poster, slide, email, or social graphic, check if brand guidelines exist; if not, offer to establish a minimal system first.
  2. Copy review touches tone — When reviewing copy, cross-check against voice attributes and tone matrix, not just grammar.
  3. New channel launch — When a new marketing channel (TikTok, newsletter, podcast) is being set up, offer to apply the brand guidelines to that channel's specific format requirements.
  4. Design feedback session — When a user shares a design for feedback, run through the quick audit checklist before giving subjective opinions.
  5. Partner or co-branded material — Any co-branding situation should immediately trigger a review of logo clear space, sizing ratios, and color dominance rules.

Communication

Brand consistency is not a design preference — it's a trust signal. Every deviation from guidelines erodes recognition. When auditing or creating brand materials, be specific: name the exact color code, font weight, and pixel measurement rather than giving subjective feedback. Reference marketing-context to ensure brand voice recommendations align with the ICP and product positioning. Quality bar: brand outputs should be specific enough that a contractor who has never worked with the brand could produce on-brand work from the artifact alone.


  • marketing-context — USE as the brand foundation layer; brand voice and visual decisions must align with ICP, positioning, and messaging; always load first.
  • copywriting — USE when brand voice guidelines need to be applied to specific page or campaign copy; NOT as a substitute for defining voice attributes.
  • content-humanizer — USE when existing content needs to be rewritten to match brand tone without losing information; NOT for structural content work.
  • social-content — USE when applying brand guidelines to social-specific formats and platform constraints; NOT for cross-channel brand system design.
  • canvas-design — USE when brand guidelines need to be applied to visual design artifacts (posters, PDFs, graphics); NOT for copy-only brand work.
