Create and use brand.yml files for consistent branding across Shiny apps and Quarto documents. Covers: (1) Creating new _brand.yml files, (2) Applying to Shiny (R and Python), (3) Using in Quarto, (4) Modifying existing files, and (5) Troubleshooting. Includes complete specifications and integration guides.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# brand.yml Skill Create and use `_brand.yml` files for consistent branding across Shiny applications and Quarto documents. ## What is brand.yml? brand.yml is a YAML-based format that translates brand guidelines into a machine-readable file usable across Shiny and Quarto. A single `_brand.yml` file defines: - **Colors** - Palette and semantic colors (primary, success, warning, etc.) - **Typography** - Fonts, sizes, weights, line heights - **Logos** - Multiple sizes and light/dark variants - **Meta** - Company name, links, identity information ## File Naming Convention - **Standard name**: `_brand.yml` (auto-discovered by Shiny and Quarto) - **Custom names**: Any name like `company-brand.yml` (requires explicit paths) - **Location**: Typically at project root, or in `_brand/` or `brand/` subdirectories ## Decision Tree Determine the user's goal and follow the appropriate workflow: 1. **Creating a new _brand.yml file?** → Follow "Creating brand.yml Files" 2. **Using brand.yml in Shiny for R?** → Read `references/shiny-r.md` 3. **Using brand.yml in Shiny for Python?** → Read `references/shiny-python.md` 4. **Using brand.yml in Quarto?** → Read `references/quarto.md` …

How to install
mdr add posit-dev/skills/brand-yml@sha256:2fe8e36738342a42The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
