brand-and-identity

brand-and-identity is a skill for Claude Code from aneja5/forge-skills. It costs 43 tokens per session (1,733 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for documenting a product's brand rules, including its colors, typography, logo use, writing style, icons, and illustrations. These rules describe how a product should look and sound.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when starting a brand, adding a related product, standardising microcopy, documenting logo rules, or choosing a consistent icon and illustration style.
Why use it?
It prevents different screens, products, and materials from developing inconsistent visual styles or wording. It gives later design decisions a shared foundation.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

brand-and-identity scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Brand and Identity

Overview

Pin down brand essence, logo rules, color identity, typography identity, voice and tone, icon system, illustration style, and multi-product consistency before design tokens get chosen. Output is .forge/brand-identity.md. Upstream of design-system — brand colors map to UI semantic tokens; voice rules shape every microcopy decision; the icon system is inherited by component-library.

When to Use

  • A new company or product is being designed and no brand foundation exists
  • A second product is being added to a shared brand and the relationship needs defining
  • Microcopy is drifting (different voice in onboarding vs errors vs empty states)
  • A logo is being used in slides, marketing, and product UI with no documented rules
  • Icons in the product mix three styles (outlined, filled, custom) and the team can't agree

When NOT to Use

  • A single internal admin tool with no external surface — skip to design-system
  • A backend-only service
  • A trivial visual tweak inside one screen — that's incremental-implementation

Common Rationalizations

Thought Reality
"We'll figure out the brand later" Every screen you ship without brand rules is brand debt. Later means inconsistency baked into 50 screens.
"Just pick a color and go" A color without a system becomes 15 slightly different blues across two products.
"Microcopy doesn't matter" Users read microcopy more than marketing copy. Every button label is a brand moment.
"We don't need logo rules, it's just us" The moment someone else makes a slide deck, they'll stretch the logo. Rules prevent this.
"One product, no need for multi-product rules" Products multiply. Define what's shared on day one, not day 365.

Red Flags

  • Logo used without clear space (text or graphics touching the mark)
  • Brand colors used as UI colors directly with no semantic mapping
  • Different voice in different parts of the product (formal in errors, casual in onboarding)
  • Icon styles mixed in the same view (outline + filled + custom)
  • No empty-state copy guideline — engineers write "No data found" by default
  • Typography mixing brand and UI faces with no documented role split

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
