Defines positioning, personality, voice, tone, messaging and visual identity direction, then freezes them into brand-guidelines.md for every other Tastemaker skill. Use for "brand", "voice and tone", "messaging", "tagline", "brand guidelines", "copy feels generic", or as a 10-line Light pass before landing pages, banners and decks. Bans hype copy and imitation of real brands.
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
# Taste Brand: specific beats clever
Freeze who the product is, how it sounds and how it looks into `brand-guidelines.md`. Downstream skills read it and never re-invent it.
**Originality is mandatory**: never imitate a real brand's name, slogan, mark or distinctive visual signature. From a reference, extract abstract principles only ("geometric, calm, single accent").
## Modes
- **Light** (default for UI, banners, slides): fill the 10-line essentials below and write them to `brand-guidelines.md`.
- **Full** (explicit brand request): run all steps; produce the full guidelines from `references/guidelines-template.md`.
## Full procedure
1. **Discovery** (infer; ask max 3 questions): one-liner, audiences, category and alternative types, promise, proof points, tone constraints, locales, existing assets, no-go list. Output a 15-line Brand Brief.
2. **Positioning**: "For <audience> who <need>, <Brand> is the <category> that <benefit>, unlike <alternative type>, because <reason to believe>." Plus purpose, vision, mission, 3-5 values each with a behaviour example, max 3 differentiators each with evidence.

How to install
mdr add harrypatria/tastemaker/taste-brand@sha256:0e181988e92b9f9dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261030.a9b94a5, 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.
