canva-brand-check

canva-brand-check is a skill for Claude Code from canva-sdks/canva-skills. It costs 84 tokens per session (1,176 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A read-only comparison of a Canva design with a brand kit, which is a collection of approved brand assets and guidelines. It reports differences in colors, fonts, logo use, and writing tone when the needed information is available.

In plain words
What is it for?
Checking whether a Canva design follows brand colors, fonts, logo rules, and copy guidelines.
Why use it?
It helps find possible brand mismatches without changing the design, while making clear when the available data is not detailed enough for an exact check.

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

canva-brand-check 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 Checker

Compare a design against the user's brand kit and report, point by point, where it follows the brand and where it drifts. This is a specialised, brand-aware version of canva-design-feedback: same read-only "read the design, then critique" core, but the rubric is the brand kit. It never edits the design.

The brand-kit data gap — read this first

Canva:list-brand-kits is documented to return brand kit IDs, names, and thumbnails. It may NOT return the machine-readable palette (hex values) and font families. Your approach depends on what you actually get back:

  • If the kit exposes colors/fonts → use those exact hex codes and font names as the rubric (precise check).
  • If it only exposes a thumbnail/name → you cannot do an exact hex/font match. Fall back to a visual comparison against the kit thumbnail, and ASK the user to paste their brand colors (hex) and fonts so you can check precisely. Be explicit that, without those, the color/font findings are approximate.

Never invent brand colors or fonts. If you don't have the real values, say so.

Reading the design's actual colors and fonts

Canva:get-design-content returns text only — not colors or fonts.

  • A read-only editing transaction (Canva:start-editing-transaction → inspect → Canva:cancel-editing-transaction, always cancel) reliably gives element text, positions, and sizes.
  • Colors and fonts are NOT reliably exposed by the transaction — tested: it often returns only text + position + dimension, with no color/font attributes. So the thumbnail is your primary evidence for color and typography. Use any style data the payload happens to include, but never assert a design's hex or font as fact unless it was actually in the payload.

Because both the brand kit (see the gap above) AND the design itself frequently lack machine-readable colors/fonts, brand-check is often a visual comparison (design thumbnail vs. brand-kit thumbnail) plus the user-supplied palette/fonts. Use Canva:get-design-thumbnail for logo placement and overall visual tone.
