visual

A brand-design guide that defines colors, fonts, logo rules, and the style of images used for a project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to document existing logos, fonts, and images, or to define visual rules for a new brand.
Why use it?
It turns scattered or informal design choices into a consistent visual system. It can also check whether earlier brand strategy and writing guidance exist before proceeding.

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

visual 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 2d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 64 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Visual Identity

Define the visual identity system for "$ARGUMENTS". Create specifications for logo usage, color palette, typography, and imagery that express the brand visually.

Prerequisites

Read .metapowers/branding/$ARGUMENTS/02-strategy.md and .metapowers/branding/$ARGUMENTS/03-verbal.md. If 03-verbal.md does not exist, tell the user:

Phase 3 (Verbal) has not been completed for "$ARGUMENTS". Run /branding:verbal $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

  1. Read context files:

    • Read .metapowers/branding/$ARGUMENTS/02-strategy.md for personality and positioning
    • Read .metapowers/branding/$ARGUMENTS/03-verbal.md for voice and tone
  2. If the user has existing assets:

    • Review logo files in .metapowers/branding/$ARGUMENTS/assets/logo/
    • Review fonts in .metapowers/branding/$ARGUMENTS/assets/fonts/
    • Review imagery in .metapowers/branding/$ARGUMENTS/assets/imagery/
    • Document and formalize what exists
  3. If creating from scratch, define:

    Logo usage rules:

    • Minimum size, clear space requirements
    • Approved variations (primary, icon, monochrome, reversed)
    • Prohibited uses
    • Ask the user to provide/create logo files and place in .metapowers/branding/$ARGUMENTS/assets/logo/

    Color palette:

    • Primary colors (2-3) with hex, RGB values
    • Secondary colors (2-4) with hex, RGB values
    • Neutral colors for backgrounds and text
    • Accessibility: contrast ratios for text on each background

    Typography:

    • Primary typeface: name, weights, usage (headings vs. body)
    • Secondary typeface (if needed)
    • Type scale: sizes, weights, line heights for each level
    • Ask the user to provide font files and place in .metapowers/branding/$ARGUMENTS/assets/fonts/

    Imagery style:

    • Photography style (mood, composition, subjects)
    • Illustration style (if applicable)
    • Icon style
    • Do's and don'ts

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.
