What it does

Import Guidelines is an agent skill from indranilbanerjee/digital-marketing-pro. Import brand guidelines — voice and tone rules, messaging, banned words and restrictions, channel styles, visual identity — and structure them into enforceable markdown files in the brand's guidelines layer, auto-classified by category, conflict-checked against the brand profile, and merged with existing rules rather than overwritten. Triggers on "/digital-marketing-pro:import-guidelines", "here's our brand voice guide", "add these banned words", "import our style guide", "save the rule that we never use jargon"…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k 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 strategy and identity, Brand voice and tone and Logo and visual identity. The repository describes itself as: An open-source AI marketing operating system for strategy, SEO, AEO/GEO, paid media, content, CRM, and analytics - grounded in brand context, human approval, and verifiable… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • /digital-marketing-pro:import-guidelines
  • Heres our brand voice guide
  • Add these banned words
  • Import our style guide

Example prompts

  • “/digital-marketing-pro:import-guidelines”
  • “s our brand voice guide”
  • “add these banned words”
  • “/import-guidelines”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Load brand context: Read ~/.claude-marketing/brands/_active-brand.json for the active slug, then load…
  2. Classify the content — Determine which guideline category (or categories) the input belongs to
  3. Structure the content — Convert unstructured input into organized markdown
  4. Check for conflicts — Compare new guidelines against existing profile settings
  5. Merge with existing guidelines — If the category already has content
  6. Save and confirm — Write the structured guideline file
  7. Ask about additional categories — If the user's input might span multiple categories

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3343924. 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 (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

Import Guidelines loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 172 tokens; SKILL.md has 636 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~172
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.8k

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.

Import brand guidelines — voice and tone rules, messaging, banned words and restrictions, channel styles, visual identity — and structure them into enforceable markdown files in the brand's guidelines layer, auto-classified by category, conflict-checked against the brand profile, and merged with existing rules rather than overwritten. Triggers on "/digital-marketing-pro:import-guidelines", "here's our brand voice guide", "add these banned words", "import our style guide", "save the rule that we never use jargon". Reads the active brand profile and existing guidelines manifest; saved guidelines are then applied automatically across all content-producing commands.

/digital-marketing-pro:import-guidelines

Purpose

Import and structure brand guidelines into the persistent brand knowledge layer. Converts unstructured guideline documents, style guides, restriction lists, and messaging playbooks into structured, enforceable markdown files that are automatically applied across all modules and commands.

Input Required

The user provides one or more of:

  • Pasted guideline content: Text from an existing brand guide, style guide, or restriction list
  • Verbal description: Spoken/typed rules ("we never use exclamation marks", "always lead with data")
  • Category to update: Which guideline category to add to (voice-and-tone, messaging, restrictions, channel-styles, visual-identity, or custom)
  • Source document reference: Description of where these guidelines come from

If the user doesn't specify a category, analyze the content and route it to the correct category automatically.

Process

  1. Load brand context: Read ~/.claude-marketing/brands/_active-brand.json for the active slug, then load ~/.claude-marketing/brands/{slug}/profile.json. Apply brand voice, compliance rules for target markets (skills/context-engine/compliance-rules.md), and industry context. Also check for existing guidelines at ~/.claude-marketing/brands/{slug}/guidelines/_manifest.json — if present, load existing guidelines to merge with (not overwrite). If no brand exists, ask: "Set up a brand first (/digital-marketing-pro:brand-setup)?" — or proceed with defaults.

  2. Classify the content — Determine which guideline category (or categories) the input belongs to:

    • Voice rules, writing style, tone → voice-and-tone.md
    • Key messages, taglines, positioning, value props → messaging.md
    • Banned words, restricted claims, disclaimers, prohibited topics → restrictions.md
    • Per-channel format/tone rules → channel-styles.md
    • Colors, fonts, logo rules, imagery style → visual-identity.md
    • Anything else → custom/{descriptive-name}.md
  3. Structure the content — Convert unstructured input into organized markdown:

    • Extract individual rules as bullet points
    • Group by sub-topic with clear headings
    • Add before/after examples where the input provides them
    • Preserve the user's intent — don't add rules they didn't specify
    • Use the framework structure from skills/context-engine/guidelines-framework.md
  4. Check for conflicts — Compare new guidelines against existing profile settings:

    • If guidelines say "casual tone" but profile has formality=8, flag the conflict
    • If restrictions ban words that appear in existing brand messaging, flag it
    • Present conflicts to the user and ask which takes precedence
    • Note: channel-styles intentionally override base voice for specific channels (not a conflict)
  5. Merge with existing guidelines — If the category already has content:

    • Show the user what already exists
    • Ask: merge (add new rules to existing), replace (overwrite), or cancel
    • When merging, deduplicate rules and maintain organization
  6. Save and confirm — Write the structured guideline file:

    • Save using guidelines-manager.py --brand {slug} --action save --category {category}
    • Or write directly to ~/.claude-marketing/brands/{slug}/guidelines/{file}
    • Manifest is rebuilt automatically on save
    • Confirm: show the category, rule count, and a preview of what was saved
  7. Ask about additional categories — If the user's input might span multiple categories:

    • "I also noticed messaging content — would you like me to save that to messaging.md?"
    • "Some of these rules are channel-specific — should I also create channel-styles.md?"
Show full SKILL.md (193 more words)Show less

Output

  • Confirmation of what was saved, with rule counts
  • Preview of the structured guideline file
  • Any conflicts flagged between guidelines and existing brand profile
  • Suggestion to import additional categories if relevant content was detected
  • Reminder: "These guidelines will be automatically applied when creating content. Use /digital-marketing-pro:import-guidelines again to add more."

Guideline Categories Reference

Examples

User: "Here's our brand voice guide: We're friendly but professional. Never use jargon. Always explain technical concepts simply. Use 'you' not 'customers'. Sentences should be under 20 words."

Result: Saves to voice-and-tone.md:

markdown
# Brand Voice & Tone Guide

## Core Voice
- Friendly but professional
- Always explain technical concepts in plain language
- Use "you" and "your" — never "customers" or "users"

## Writing Style
- Sentences: maximum 20 words
- No jargon — if a simpler word exists, use it

## Dos and Don'ts
- DO: Use plain language and direct address
- DON'T: Use industry jargon or technical terminology without explanation

User: "We can never use the words 'cheap', 'guarantee', 'best', or 'revolutionary'. Health claims need a disclaimer."

Result: Saves to restrictions.md:

markdown
# Brand Restrictions & Guardrails

## Banned Words and Phrases
- "cheap" → use "affordable" or "cost-effective"
- "guarantee" → use "committed to" or "designed to"
- "best" → use specific proof points instead
- "revolutionary" → use "innovative" or describe the specific innovation

## Mandatory Disclaimers
- Health/wellness claims: Include "This is not medical advice. Consult your healthcare provider."
