Brand Designer

What it does

When your agent uses it

• You need to capture a brands identity in structured
• Durable form — for vault storage
• Press kit distribution

Example prompts

• “/brand-designer”

Requirements

• Python 3
• A Bash shell
• Compatibility (from SKILL.md): CLI requires Python 3.8+; generate script requires an image generation backend. All templates are plain markdown. Works with any agent supporting Agent Skills.

Workflow steps

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

1. 1Choose artifact type
2. 2Fill templates
3. 3Validate
4. 4Compile
5. 5Generate images (optional)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 867a555. 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

  Ships 3 files in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.

  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.

• Compatibility

  CLI requires Python 3.8+; generate script requires an image generation backend. All templates are plain markdown. Works with any agent supporting Agent Skills.

  From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Brand Designer loads about 2.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~15k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 124 tokens; SKILL.md has 735 words of instructions outside code blocks.

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

~124

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~2.3k

With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them

~15k

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

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

description

Create comprehensive brand identity documentation for any brand. Guides you through documenting strategy, visual identity (logo, color, typography, imagery), voice and tone, application guidelines, governance, and asset inventory. Produces markdown specs, compiled brand books, and brand-compliant images via reference-image-aware generation. Use when you need to capture a brand's identity in structured, durable form — for vault storage, agency handoff, or press kit distribution.
