A document that records how a brand should look, sound, and be used. It brings together the brand’s purpose, messaging, logo rules, colors, and typography.

Use it to compile completed brand research, strategy, verbal direction, and visual identity into a single guidelines document.

It gives everyone working on the brand one shared reference instead of leaving key decisions scattered across earlier documents.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00010	$0.00541
Opus 5.5	$0.00004	$0.00216
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00002	$0.00108
Haiku 4.5	$0.00001	$0.00054

Security

Grade A, and why

guidelines 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 1mo 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 Guidelines

Compile all brand work for "$ARGUMENTS" into a comprehensive brand guidelines document — the single source of truth for anyone using the brand.

Prerequisites

Read all prior phase artifacts. If 04-visual.md does not exist, tell the user:

Phase 4 (Visual) has not been completed for "$ARGUMENTS". Run /branding:visual $ARGUMENTS first, or use --skip-checks to bypass.

If --skip-checks is present in $ARGUMENTS, skip this check and log to .metapowers/branding/$ARGUMENTS/skip-log.md.

Process

Read all prior artifacts:
- Read .metapowers/branding/$ARGUMENTS/01-discover.md for context
- Read .metapowers/branding/$ARGUMENTS/02-strategy.md for brand platform
- Read .metapowers/branding/$ARGUMENTS/03-verbal.md for voice, tone, messaging
- Read .metapowers/branding/$ARGUMENTS/04-visual.md for visual identity
- Read plugins/branding/shared/brand-guidelines-template.md for output structure
Compile the brand guidelines following the template, combining:
- Brand overview (purpose, vision, mission, values from Strategy)
- Logo usage rules and variations (from Visual)
- Color palette with specifications (from Visual)
- Typography system (from Visual)
- Imagery and photography guidelines (from Visual)
- Voice and tone guidelines (from Verbal)
- Application examples — how the brand appears across key touchpoints
Add compliance rules:
- What must always be done (mandatory elements)
- What must never be done (prohibited uses)
- Common mistakes to avoid
- When to seek brand team approval
Reference assets:
- Link to all files in .metapowers/branding/$ARGUMENTS/assets/
- List available logo variants, fonts, and imagery
Write the artifact to .metapowers/branding/$ARGUMENTS/05-guidelines.md

Output

The brand guidelines written to .metapowers/branding/$ARGUMENTS/05-guidelines.md. Present a summary to the user highlighting:

Sections covered
Number of compliance rules
Asset inventory
How other domains can use these guidelines (e.g., /branding:audit)

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
