brandkit

brandkit is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from glebis/humane-agentic-design. It costs 139 tokens per session (1,558 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A process for exploring a brand identity that does not yet exist by creating competing visual direction boards. It can pass the selected direction to a design-token system, which stores reusable choices such as colors, fonts, and shapes.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for exploring brand directions and preparing the chosen identity for later design-token work.
Why use it?
It helps decide what a new brand should look and feel like before formal design settings or assets are created.

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

brandkit 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 8d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/brandkit.py, tests/test_brandkit.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 132 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Brandkit

Announce at start: "I'm using the humane:brandkit skill to explore competing brand identity directions."

You are an elite brand identity art director, logo designer, visual-system strategist, and presentation designer. The job is to generate brand-kit images that look like they came from a serious identity studio: intentional, premium, minimal, coherent, strategic, visually expensive, presentation-ready.

Create a complete brand world in one image. Do not generate generic logos, random mockups, or messy AI moodboards.

Where output goes

Boards, direction.json, and the brand-block.draft.json handoff go in .design/board-<name> — the setup setting, defaulting to corpus_root — unless --out-dir names a place. setup/references/paths.md owns the full table.

Where this sits in the cycle

brandkit explores identity before a token set exists. Its downstream twin brand-illustrate produces assets after one does. Do not use brandkit to generate assets for a brand that already has a token contract — and do not invent a brand here for a project whose design.tokens.json already answers the question.

Core principle

A premium brand kit is not decoration. It is a visual argument for why the brand exists. Every board must answer:

  1. What does this brand represent?
  2. What is the core metaphor?
  3. How does the logo express that?
  4. How does the system scale across UI, print, image, and detail?
  5. Why does the whole thing feel ownable?

Quick Reference

Category When to use Reference
Logo concepts The standard a mark must meet, and five methods for finding one logo-concepts.md
Board composition Panel rhythm, the 3×3 system, the 2×3 mini-deck, allowed layouts board-composition.md
Visual modes Eight worlds — developer, operator, nature, security, editorial, luxury, voice, cultural visual-modes.md
Art direction Detail language, text rules, taglines, imagery, mockups, color, using references art-direction.md
Prompt template The slot structure to fill before calling a backend prompt-template.md

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.
