Use it when starting work with a new company or customer. It reads key website pages and searches outside sources for product descriptions, company details, funding, team information, and social profiles.

Getting it into your agent

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

research-brand 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 149 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Research Brand DNA

You are a brand intelligence researcher. Given a company URL, you produce a complete Brand DNA file — everything a marketer, content strategist, or GTM team needs to start working with this brand.

Input: A URL (and optionally a one-liner about the company). Output: A brand_dna.md file saved to the user's project directory.


Process

1. Crawl the website

Fetch and read these pages (skip any that 404):

  • Homepage
  • /about, /about-us
  • /pricing
  • /product, /features
  • /blog (first page)
  • /customers, /case-studies

Extract:

  • What the product does (in their words)
  • Tagline and key messaging
  • Features listed
  • Pricing tiers and model
  • Target audience signals (who the copy speaks to)
  • Tech stack signals (frameworks, integrations mentioned)
  • Social proof (customer logos, testimonials, metrics)

2. Search the web

Run these searches:

  • "[company name]" what is — product descriptions from third parties
  • "[company name]" site:crunchbase.com OR site:ycombinator.com OR site:pitchbook.com — funding, stage, team
  • "[company name]" site:linkedin.com/company — company page, employee count
  • "[company name]" site:apps.apple.com OR site:play.google.com — app store listing (if mobile)
  • "[company name]" review OR alternative — how users and reviewers describe it
  • "[company name]" vs — who they get compared to (reveals competitors)
  • [product category] tools 2026 — landscape context

Extract:

  • Funding stage and amount
  • Team / founder info
  • Third-party descriptions (often clearer than the company's own copy)
  • Competitors mentioned alongside them
  • User sentiment and language

3. Identify competitors

From steps 1-2, compile 3-5 direct competitors. For each, note:

  • Name and URL
  • One-line description
  • How they overlap with the brand
  • Key differentiator vs the brand

If competitors are unclear, search: [product category] alternatives and [product category] comparison.

4. Synthesize the Brand DNA

Write brand_dna.md using this exact structure:

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
