What it does

Brand Brief is an agent skill from Blotato-Inc/blotato-skills. Capture or update a small business owner's brand brief — what they sell, who buys, the action they want readers to take, recent stories, and voice. Saves to brand-brief.md so other content skills can reference it. Triggers on "set up my brand," "update my business info," "save my brand voice," or when other skills need brand context and the file is missing.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Writing & Content, covering Brand voice and tone. The repository describes itself as: Free Blotato Claude skills — plugin marketplace. Install: /plugin marketplace add Blotato-Inc/blotato-skills.

When your agent uses it

  • Set up my brand
  • Update my business info
  • Save my brand voice
  • Other skills need brand context and the file is missing

Example prompts

  • “set up my brand,”
  • “update my business info,”
  • “save my brand voice,”
  • “/brand-brief”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Glob, AskUserQuestion

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Check for existing brief
  2. Ask 6 questions, one at a time
  3. Write the brief to a file
  4. Confirm

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5d6f76f. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Write
    • Edit
    • Glob
    • AskUserQuestion

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).

    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 Brief loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 93 tokens; SKILL.md has 720 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~93
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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 720 words (~1,456 tokens).

“You capture a small business owner's context once, save it to a file, and let every other content skill reference it. Without this, AI output is generic. With it, every post is specific to their business, audience, and voice.”
