What is brand-gen-reference?

A reference pack for brand-gen, a tool for creating branded visual materials. It provides guidance on model choice, platform image sizes, aspect ratios, and where generated files are stored.

Use it when selecting an image model, preparing graphics for X, LinkedIn, Open Graph previews, or podcasts, locating brand files, or investigating generation problems.

It helps agents make consistent choices without searching through the project or guessing which settings and file locations apply.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00127	$0.00588
Opus 5	$0.00063	$0.00294
Sonnet 5	$0.00025	$0.00118
Haiku 4.5	$0.00013	$0.00059

Measured 10d ago against content hash 63df3638753a, method: parsed. Prices are Anthropic first-party input rates as of 2026-09-11, from the pricing page.

Security

Grade A, and why

brand-gen-reference 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 10d 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.

What it actually says

Brand Gen Reference

Pi / Sage full-pipeline prompt

For Sage brand work in Pi, use the paste-ready prompt at docs/prompts/pi-sage-brand-gen-full-pipeline.md. It routes Pi through the typed brand_* tools, the brand-orchestrator subagent, exact-text gates, v2/DSPy review, GEPA-ready disagreement fields, and typed mutation loops. Keep this link instead of copying the full prompt into skill bodies.

Reference data for brand-gen — not workflow doctrine. Load individual reference files only when you need them.

Preferred CLI: bgen ... or python3 -m brand_gen ...

Reference files

references/models.md — model comparison, selection heuristics, and when NOT to override. Read when choosing a model or debugging generation quality.
references/social-surfaces.md — X / LinkedIn / OG / podcast surface dimensions, composition notes, and copy/messaging rules. Read when picking dimensions for a platform.
references/file-layout.md — where session, brand, manifest, blackboard, and scratchpad files live on disk. Read when locating artifacts.

Quick decision shortcuts

Need a model or aspect-ratio choice? Read references/models.md.
Model fails on an aspect ratio? Not all models support all ARs. og-card (1.91:1) and x-card (2:1) require models that accept those ratios. Check bgen types for the default model per type. If the default model fails, try recraft-v4 (widest AR support) or nano-banana-2.
Need exact surface dimensions or feed context? Read references/social-surfaces.md, or run bgen social-specs for live data.
Need to find where artifacts land on disk? Read references/file-layout.md, or run bgen show-session-summary --format json.
Need current reference analysis? Run bgen show-reference-analysis --format json.

Files

What ships with it

3 files 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.
