Use this skill when the user says things like "create a brand", "build our brand", "brand book", "import my brand guidelines", "bring our brand book in", "logo", "design a logo", "brand colours", "brand voice", "write our positioning", "refresh our brand", or when scaffold or design-ui hands off because a project needs a brand made or imported before its UI is designed. Not for designing screens, mockups, or DESIGN.md — use design-ui. Not for writing a project's agent docs — use scaffold.…
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
# design-brand Settles who the product is — its story, its voice, and the marks and colours that carry them — in files every later agent reads, before `design-ui` maps it onto screens. ## When this runs - After `scaffold`, before `design-ui`, on a project with a public face — a product people choose, a landing page, a store listing — built or accepted in `docs/decisions.md` - A brand book, logo pack, or guidelines arrive from founders or an agency, and need importing as the source - A refresh or a rebrand of a project that already has `docs/brand/` — see Step 0 - **Not** when `docs/brand/` exists and the user confirms it is current (go to `design-ui`), for an internal tool, for a project with no UI and no public surface, or with no `docs/development-roadmap.md` (go to `scaffold`). Parked, it leaves a dated pending decision and `design-ui` works from its own visual thesis ## Core philosophy - **Who comes before how it looks.** A palette with no story behind it is decoration, and nobody can map decoration onto a UI with reasons. Strategy, voice, and distinctive assets are settled before a single colour. …

How to install
mdr add melconcoast/code-idea/design-brand@sha256:36dc76e0922a7569The line at the top of this page pins the label v5.1.0, 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.
