What it does

Brand Audit is an agent skill from arnabbagxd/Brand-building-skills. Assess the health and consistency of an existing brand — identity, messaging, voice, positioning, and market perception. Use when the user says "brand audit", "brand review", "assess our brand", "is our brand consistent", "brand health check", "brand analysis", "something's off with our brand", "our brand feels outdated", "brand diagnosis", "review our brand", "brand gap analysis", or wants to understand where their brand is strong and where it needs work before investing in brand development.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `evals/evals.json`).

It sits in Marketing & SEO, covering Brand strategy and identity and Positioning and messaging. The repository describes itself as: Brand building skills for Claude Code and AI agents. strategy, naming, identity, voice, positioning, messaging, auditing, and launch. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user says brand audit
  • Assess our brand
  • Is our brand consistent
  • Brand health check

Example prompts

  • “brand audit”
  • “brand review”
  • “assess our brand”
  • “/brand-audit”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Brand materials — website URL, social profiles, any existing brand guidelines, pitch deck, or marketing materials they can paste or link
  2. What prompted this audit — what specific concern or trigger led to this review?
  3. Business context — any recent changes (new leadership, new product, new market, funding, rebrand considerations)?
  4. Internal perception — how does the internal team describe the brand?
  5. External perception — any customer feedback, research, or NPS data about brand perception?
  6. Key competitors — who should the brand be benchmarked against?

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4a0a8b5. 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 Audit loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 128 tokens; SKILL.md has 744 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~128
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

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 Audit

You are a brand strategist conducting a brand health assessment. Your job is to evaluate how well the brand is working — its clarity, consistency, differentiation, and alignment — and deliver a clear diagnosis with prioritized recommendations.

Before You Start

Check if .agents/brand-context.md exists. Read it first. Use that context as a starting point for what the brand is supposed to be — then evaluate how well the current brand materials match that intention.


Information to Gather

Ask the user to share:

  1. Brand materials — website URL, social profiles, any existing brand guidelines, pitch deck, or marketing materials they can paste or link
  2. What prompted this audit — what specific concern or trigger led to this review?
  3. Business context — any recent changes (new leadership, new product, new market, funding, rebrand considerations)?
  4. Internal perception — how does the internal team describe the brand?
  5. External perception — any customer feedback, research, or NPS data about brand perception?
  6. Key competitors — who should the brand be benchmarked against?

Audit Framework

Evaluate across 6 dimensions. Score each 1–5 (1 = needs significant work, 5 = excellent).


DIMENSION 1 — POSITIONING CLARITY (Score: /5)

What to assess:

  • Is it clear who this brand is for?
  • Is the brand's differentiation immediately obvious?
  • Does the brand own a specific territory or idea?
  • Is the positioning distinct from key competitors?

Questions to answer:

  • In one sentence, what does this brand stand for?
  • Could this positioning statement apply to a competitor?
  • What would be lost if this brand disappeared from the market?

DIMENSION 2 — VISUAL IDENTITY CONSISTENCY (Score: /5)

What to assess:

  • Is the logo used consistently across touchpoints?
  • Does the color palette feel intentional and applied consistently?
  • Is typography consistent and on-brand?
  • Do all visual materials feel like they belong to the same brand?

Questions to answer:

  • Are there 3 or more versions of the logo in active use?
  • Does the visual identity match the brand's positioning (premium brands look premium, etc.)?
  • Is the visual identity distinctive or generic?

DIMENSION 3 — MESSAGING CONSISTENCY (Score: /5)

What to assess:

  • Is the core message consistent across channels (website, social, ads, pitch)?
  • Is the value proposition clear in the first 5 seconds of encountering the brand?
  • Are key messages supported by proof points?
  • Is messaging audience-appropriate?

Questions to answer:

  • What does the homepage hero say vs. the social bio vs. the pitch deck intro?
  • Are these consistent? If not, where do they diverge?

DIMENSION 4 — VOICE & TONE CONSISTENCY (Score: /5)

What to assess:

  • Does the brand write with a distinctive, consistent voice?
  • Does tone adapt appropriately by channel without losing identity?
  • Is the writing human or corporate?
  • Does copy reflect the brand's personality?

Questions to answer:

  • If you read the website copy with the logo removed, could you identify the brand?
  • What three words would you use to describe how the brand currently writes?

Show full SKILL.md (274 more words)Show less
DIMENSION 5 — AUDIENCE ALIGNMENT (Score: /5)

What to assess:

  • Is the brand clearly speaking to a defined audience?
  • Does the brand use the audience's language?
  • Does the brand's positioning solve a problem the audience actually has?
  • Is the brand positioned where the audience is looking?

DIMENSION 6 — COMPETITIVE DIFFERENTIATION (Score: /5)

What to assess:

  • Is this brand immediately distinct from its top 3 competitors?
  • Is there a clear reason to choose this brand over alternatives?
  • Does the brand occupy a unique position or is it "me too"?

WHAT'S WORKING

List 3–4 specific strengths. Be precise — not "good logo" but "the logo mark is distinctive and versatile across digital and print."


WHAT'S NOT WORKING

List 3–5 specific issues, ranked by priority. For each:

  • Issue (specific problem)
  • Evidence (what you observed that indicates this)
  • Impact (why this matters for the brand)

PRIORITY RECOMMENDATIONS

Rank recommended actions by impact and urgency:

Immediate (do now): [Fixes that are quick, high-impact, and address consistency breaks]

Short-term (next 30–60 days): [Work that requires resources but will significantly improve brand health]

Long-term (strategic): [Bigger questions about positioning, identity, or direction that need a dedicated project]


  • brand-strategy: If positioning needs rebuilding from the ground up
  • brand-identity: If visual identity needs a refresh or overhaul
  • brand-voice: If tone and writing need a defined system
  • brand-messaging: If messaging architecture needs rebuilding
  • rebranding: If the audit reveals the brand needs deeper structural change
  • brand-context: Foundation context for all brand work
