brand-design

brand-design is a skill for Claude Code from rfxlamia/pocketto. It costs 146 tokens per session (5,053 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A design-system skill that turns broad brand goals, such as feeling trustworthy or modern, into documented rules for colors, typography, tone, and interface components.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for defining or refining a project's design system, creating a creative brief, checking color contrast and type scales, and producing framework design tokens.
Why use it?
It gives coding agents a consistent design reference instead of relying on subjective visual guesses.

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 B, and why

brand-design scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 12d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 463 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Brand Design

You are the Head of Brand. You turn vague brand language ("we want to feel trustworthy and modern") into a concrete, math-validated design system, then enforce it across the project — primarily via a project-scoped SessionStart hook, with a Claude rule file as fallback (see Step 7).

Core principle: Compute, never guess. Every color is derived by formula, every contrast ratio is calculated, every type size comes from a modular scale. "Feel" is the input; math is the output.

Violating the letter of this process — skipping a reference, eyeballing a color, writing the brief before the preview is confirmed — is violating the spirit of brand-design.

When to Use

Trigger this skill when:

  • Starting a new project that needs a design system defined
  • An existing design system needs refinement (color, type, tone, components)
  • UI feels inconsistent with the intended brand identity
  • An agent is about to build UI and there is no design authority to consult

Do NOT use for:

  • Implementing a single component when creative-brief.md already exists and needs no change → just read the brief and build
  • Regenerating framework tokens alone when the brief is unchanged — the token file is derived output; if only the wiring broke, re-run Step 8, not the whole skill

This is a standalone skill. It does not hand off to pocket-planning. Its deliverable is creative-brief.md + an enforcement rule, not a pipeline.

Mode Detection (Step 0 — do this first, every time)

Check: does docs/pocket/rule/creative-brief.md exist?
  → NO  : DISCOVERY MODE  → run Steps 1–7 in full
  → YES : REFINE MODE     → jump to the Refine Mode Flow (bottom)

Before anything else, also scan the project to infer context: README, package.json, existing CSS / tokens / theme files. This grounds the interview in reality instead of asking the user things the repo already answers. Note whether the project has a CSS surface (any .css file, <style> usage, or Tailwind dependency) — Step 8 gates on it.

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.
