What it does

Brand Design Skill is an agent skill from ziguishian/brand-design-skill. Drive a strict conversational, image-first and image-final brand identity design process. Use when the user asks for brand design, logo inspiration, logo exploration, AI-generated logo images, VI/visual identity systems, brand manuals, identity guidelines, application mockups, or premium HTML brand books. The skill must not assume missing brand details or generate images from an incomplete brief. It must ask Socratic clarification questions first, wait for user answers or explicit permission to proceed with named…

Its SKILL.md is about 4.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 72 other files, including reference files and assets (for example `README.md`, `README.zh-CN.md` and `agents/openai.yaml`).

It sits in Media & Creative, covering Logo and visual identity, Image generation and Brand strategy and identity. The repository describes itself as: Brand Design Skill 是一个 image-first 的 Codex 品牌设计 Skill。它通过对话式流程引导 Agent 完成苏格拉底式需求澄清、Logo 图像探索、最终图像 Logo 资产、行业化 VI 应用场景,以及高质量 HTML 品牌手册。|.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks for brand design
  • Logo inspiration
  • Logo exploration
  • AI-generated logo images

Example prompts

  • “/brand-design-skill”

Workflow steps

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

  1. User gives initial logo inspiration or a rough brand/VI request.
  2. Agent parses what is known and asks Socratic questions.
  3. Agent waits for answers or explicit approval to proceed with named assumptions.
  4. Agent proposes a design direction and logo image routes, then stops.
  5. User approves image generation.
  6. Agent generates logo images, shows them, and stops.
  7. User chooses, refines, combines, rejects, or asks for recommendation.
  8. User approves one generated image direction for final logo image assets.
  9. Agent creates final logo image assets through image generation/refinement, not SVG, then stops.
  10. User approves the final logo image asset set.
  11. Agent proposes VI scope and application image plan, then stops.
  12. User approves VI/application image generation and manual scope.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 14aaa37. 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

Brand Design Skill loads about 4.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~17k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 203 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,239 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~203
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4.4k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~17k

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 2,239 words (~4,352 tokens).

“Operate as a senior brand design director in conversation with the user. Do not behave like a one-shot logo generator, a static document writer, or an SVG/logo-code generator.”
