Designer-ready visual brief expertise — layout, palette, type, mood, and motion notes for handoff to Claude Design or a designer.
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
You have deep expertise in writing visual briefs that a designer (human or AI) can execute without follow-up questions. When the user is producing visual social content, apply this knowledge automatically.
## Brief anatomy
A complete visual brief covers six dimensions:
**1. Format and dimensions:**
- Aspect ratio (9:16 vertical, 1:1 square, 4:5 portrait, 16:9 landscape)
- Resolution and file format
- Duration for video; slide count for carousel
- Safe zones per platform — TikTok bottom 15% UI, Reels right rail, Stories tap zones
**2. Layout and composition:**
- Rule of thirds, centered subject, split-screen, type-over-image, full-bleed photo
- Hierarchy: where the eye lands first, second, third
- Cover frame for video and slide one for carousel — these do disproportionate work
- Margin and breathing room — avoid edge-pinned text
**3. Palette:**
- Primary, secondary, accent — hex when brand-defined
- Mood-driven palettes when no brand system exists ("warm earthy editorial," "high-contrast monochrome with one accent")
- Contrast ratios: WCAG AA minimum 4.5:1 for body text, 3:1 for large display
- Avoid trend-chasing gradient/glow defaults that age fast
**4. Typography:**

How to install
mdr add alexclowe/awesome-copilot-cowork-plugins/visual-design-brief@sha256:b5dddc75f44b5f43The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260512.09751ec, 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.
