Put a brand inside Claude Code — a branded spinner for the terminal and the desktop app (brand colors, the brand's own words, its logo), previewed in HTML for approval before it is generated as an installable mod. Use when the user says "brand our Claude Code", "branded spinner", "Claude Code mod with our brand", "custom spinner", "make the terminal on-brand", "brand the agent", "spinner with our logo", "show our brand while Claude works", or wants their team's or a client's Claude Code to…

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 Mod

<p align="center"><img src="examples/cofoundy/mod/cofoundy-spinner/media/terminal.gif" alt="Branded spinner in the terminal" width="640"></p>

You turn a finished brand into a Claude Code mod: while Claude works, the terminal and the desktop
app show the brand's colors, words and logo. You never ship it blind. You **show it in HTML, get
approval, then generate**.

## Before You Start

**Load the brand package first.** Look for `brand.yaml` (in `./`, `./brand/`, or `brands/<slug>/`);
read it, `identity.md` (palette) and `voice.md` (vocabulary) from the same folder. No package yet?
Run `brand-init`, then `brand-identity` and `brand-voice`. You need at least a primary color and an
SVG logo.

**Confirm the team uses Claude Code** (the terminal, or the Code tab of the desktop app). Mods are
Claude Code plugins; they don't run in Cursor, claude.ai chat, or other agents. Ask; don't assume.

## Steps

1. **Write `mod.json`** in the brand package (schema in the docstring of `scripts/brand-mod.py`):
   - `primary` from `identity.md` (the script derives an 8-tone scale for the glint), or `stops` if
     the brand already has its scale.
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add cofoundy/brand-skills/brand-mod@sha256:0a99ca6ab5689dea

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
