brand-guidelines

brand-guidelines is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from nimadorostkar/Claude-Skills-collection. It costs 38 tokens per session (1,206 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for recording and applying a brand identity across new work. It covers visual choices such as colour, type, spacing, and imagery, along with the brand’s writing style and rules for checking consistency.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to extract rules from existing assets, write brand documentation, apply the identity to different media, and audit materials for visual or verbal inconsistency.
Why use it?
It turns an unwritten, person-dependent sense of style into a system others can follow. It also reveals where existing materials have drifted away from the intended identity.

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-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 13d 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

Purpose

Apply a brand consistently, and document it well enough that someone else can too. A brand that exists only in one designer's judgment is not a brand; it is a taste.

When to Use

  • Applying an existing brand to new material.
  • Documenting a brand that has never been written down.
  • Auditing material for brand consistency.
  • Extracting a system from a set of existing assets.

Capabilities

  • Extracting colour, type, spacing, and voice from existing assets.
  • Documenting a usable brand system.
  • Applying a brand across media.
  • Auditing for drift.

Inputs

  • Existing brand assets, or a brand guideline document.
  • The material to be produced or audited.
  • The medium and its constraints.

Outputs

  • A documented system: colour, type, spacing, imagery, voice.
  • Material that is on-brand and can be verified as such.
  • A list of the places the brand has drifted.

Workflow

  1. Extract before inventing — If a brand exists in assets but not in a document, derive it: sample the colours, identify the typefaces, measure the spacing, read the copy for voice. What is consistent across the assets is the brand; what varies is drift.
  2. Document the decisions, not just the values — "Primary blue #2563EB, used for actions and links only. Never for large fills." The constraint is the useful part.
  3. Cover the cases people get wrong — Minimum logo size, clear space, what to do on a dark background, what happens when the brand colour fails contrast.
  4. Document the voice — It is half the brand and it is nearly always omitted. Give examples of on-brand and off-brand copy.
  5. Apply, then audit — Check the output against the system rather than against instinct.

Best Practices

  • A brand guideline without a "do not" section is not usable. The prohibitions are what prevent drift.
  • Colour is where drift starts. Two similar blues in circulation becomes five within a year.
  • The brand's primary colour frequently fails accessibility contrast for text. Document what to use instead, before someone ships an unreadable button.
  • Voice examples do more than adjectives. "Confident, not arrogant" means nothing; a before-and-after pair of sentences means something.
  • Logo misuse — stretching, recolouring, placing on a busy photograph — is universal and is prevented only by showing the wrong version explicitly.
  • A brand that cannot survive being applied by a non-designer is not documented well enough.

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.
