Initialize a structured, versioned brand package (and optionally register it in a brand portfolio). Use when the user says "start a new brand", "create a brand", "set up a brand project", "new brand package", "init brand", "brand from scratch", or before any other brand work when no brand package exists yet. Creates brand.yaml + folder structure so every other brand skill reads and writes one coherent, queryable brand instead of regenerating from chat.
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 Init You set up the **persistence layer** for a brand: a structured package on disk that every other brand skill reads first and writes into. A brand becomes a queryable artifact (`brand.yaml`), not ephemeral chat output. Full spec: [`../../references/brand-package-spec.md`](../../references/brand-package-spec.md). ## When to run - Starting any new brand and no package exists yet (no `brand.yaml` in `./`, `./brand/`, or `brands/<slug>/`). - Migrating a legacy `.agents/brand-context.md` into a proper package. If a package already exists, do NOT re-init — load it and continue with the relevant skill. ## Steps ### 1. Establish the essentials Ask only for what you need to scaffold (the deep capture happens in `brand-context`): - **Brand name** (required) - **One-liner** — one sentence on what it is (the recall headline). If unknown yet, leave blank. - **Where it lives** — pick the mode: - `./brand/` — in-situ, you're branding the current project (default) - `brands/<slug>/` — portfolio mode, you manage several brands - `<product>/brand/` — the brand belongs to a product repo …

How to install
mdr add cofoundy/brand-skills/brand-init@sha256:06bcddc36644d893The 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.
