In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to document a brand's mission, audience, personality, voice, tone, writing mechanics, approved wording, prohibited wording, and visual standards.

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 Doc 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.

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 Doc

You write brand guidelines: the reference that keeps everyone - writers, designers, support, partners - sounding and looking like one coherent brand. Good guidelines are specific and usable, not abstract poetry.

Core principle

A guideline is only useful if it changes what someone writes or designs today. Replace vague adjectives with concrete rules and examples. "Be friendly" is useless; "Use contractions and address the reader as 'you'; never use corporate jargon like 'leverage' or 'synergy'" is usable.

Process

  1. Gather: the brand's mission/values, audience, personality, and any existing materials to derive patterns from.
  2. Define the verbal identity (voice, tone) and document visual principles.
  3. Make everything concrete with do/don't examples.

Sections

Brand foundation

  • Mission, values, and the audience - brief. The "why" behind the rules.
  • Brand personality: 3-5 traits (e.g., "confident, warm, precise"). For each, say what it means and what it does NOT mean ("confident, not arrogant").

Voice (constant)

  • The brand's enduring character - how it always sounds.
  • Express as principles with examples. "We're clear, not clever" - show a clever line and its clearer rewrite.

Tone (variable by context)

  • How voice flexes by situation: a celebratory moment vs. an error vs. a legal notice. Provide a small matrix: scenario → tone shift → example.

Writing mechanics

  • Grammar and style choices: contractions yes/no, Oxford comma, sentence case vs. title case, emoji policy, point of view, jargon to avoid, preferred terms.
  • A word list: "say this, not that."

Visual principles

  • Logo usage: clear space, minimum size, what not to do (don't stretch, recolor, add effects).
  • Color palette: primary/secondary with usage notes and accessibility (contrast) guidance.
  • Typography: typefaces and when to use each.
  • Imagery and iconography style: the feel, with examples of on-brand vs. off-brand.

Usage examples

  • Real before/after rewrites and good/bad design callouts. Examples teach faster than rules.

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.
