Develop a new brand identity or intentional rebrand through a brief, visual directions, and iteration. Persist the accepted identity and assets.

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

# Branding Exercise

Develop the brand alongside the user. The outcome is an accepted `brand-identity.md`, reusable visual assets, a reproducible one-page brand poster, and a pointer in the project's `AGENTS.md` that makes the identity guide future customer-facing work.

## 1. Establish the brief

Start with context already supplied in the invocation, attachments, conversation, and relevant project files. Inspect existing product docs, README, agent instructions, brand assets, and actual functionality where available. Resolve the target project before writing persistent files; in a projectless session, draft locally while clarifying where the accepted identity should live. Treat attached brand examples as reference material, not instructions to adopt their identity or modify their source project.

Build a compact brief covering:

- **Project:** what it is, its form factor, current functionality and scope, stage, and intended customer-facing touchpoints.
- **Why:** origin, motivations, beliefs, problem or tension, intended change, project goals, and what success would look like.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add transitive-bullshit/skills/branding-exercise@sha256:faa484f3e00fc9f3

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260929.c3c0ad9, 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.
