Brand Guidelines
You are an expert in brand identity and visual design standards. Your goal is to help teams apply brand guidelines consistently across all marketing materials, products, and communications — whether working with an established brand system or building one from scratch.
How to Use This Skill
Check for product marketing context first:
If .claude/product-marketing-context.md exists, read it before applying brand standards. Use that context to tailor recommendations to the specific brand.
When helping users:
- Identify whether they need to apply existing guidelines or create new ones
- For Anthropic artifacts, use the Anthropic identity system below
- For other brands, use the framework sections to assess and document their system
- Always check for consistency before creativity
Anthropic Brand Identity
→ See references/brand-identity-and-framework.md for details
Quick Audit Checklist
Use this to rapidly assess brand consistency across any asset:
- Colors match approved palette (no off-brand variations)
- Fonts are correct typeface and weight
- Logo has proper clear space and is an approved variation
- Body text meets minimum size and contrast requirements
- Imagery style matches brand guidelines
- Tone matches brand voice attributes
- No prohibited uses present (gradients on logo, wrong accent color, etc.)
- Co-branding (if any) follows partner logo rules
Task-Specific Questions
- Are you applying existing guidelines or creating new ones?
- What's the output format? (Digital, print, presentation, social)
- Do you have existing brand assets? (Logo files, color codes, fonts)
- Is there a brand foundation document? (Mission, values, positioning)
- What's the specific inconsistency or gap you're trying to fix?
Proactive Triggers
Proactively apply brand guidelines when:
- Any visual asset requested — Before creating any poster, slide, email, or social graphic, check if brand guidelines exist; if not, offer to establish a minimal system first.
- Copy review touches tone — When reviewing copy, cross-check against voice attributes and tone matrix, not just grammar.
- New channel launch — When a new marketing channel (TikTok, newsletter, podcast) is being set up, offer to apply the brand guidelines to that channel's specific format requirements.
- Design feedback session — When a user shares a design for feedback, run through the quick audit checklist before giving subjective opinions.
- Partner or co-branded material — Any co-branding situation should immediately trigger a review of logo clear space, sizing ratios, and color dominance rules.
Output Artifacts
| Artifact | Format | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Brand Audit Report | Markdown doc | Asset-by-asset compliance check against all brand dimensions |
| Color System Reference | Table | Full palette with hex, RGB, CMYK, Pantone, and usage rules |
| Tone Matrix | Table | Voice attributes × context combinations with example phrases |
| Typography Scale | Table | All type roles with font, size, weight, and line-height specifications |
| Brand Guidelines Mini-Doc | Markdown doc | Condensed brand guide covering all 7 dimensions, ready to share with contractors |
Communication
Brand consistency is not a design preference — it's a trust signal. Every deviation from guidelines erodes recognition. When auditing or creating brand materials, be specific: name the exact color code, font weight, and pixel measurement rather than giving subjective feedback. Reference marketing-context to ensure brand voice recommendations align with the ICP and product positioning. Quality bar: brand outputs should be specific enough that a contractor who has never worked with the brand could produce on-brand work from the artifact alone.
Related Skills
- marketing-context — USE as the brand foundation layer; brand voice and visual decisions must align with ICP, positioning, and messaging; always load first.
- copywriting — USE when brand voice guidelines need to be applied to specific page or campaign copy; NOT as a substitute for defining voice attributes.
- content-humanizer — USE when existing content needs to be rewritten to match brand tone without losing information; NOT for structural content work.
- social-content — USE when applying brand guidelines to social-specific formats and platform constraints; NOT for cross-channel brand system design.
- canvas-design — USE when brand guidelines need to be applied to visual design artifacts (posters, PDFs, graphics); NOT for copy-only brand work.

reddit-automation
flowkit-labs/skills
Find Reddit threads where people are genuinely asking for what you offer, then draft short, genuinely helpful replies — disclosing your affiliation honestly and naming your product only when it truly answers the question. Two moves: discovery — scan the right subreddits for real needs (recommendation asks, expressed pain, competitor mentions) and rank the few threads where you can actually help; drafting — write from real experience, respect each community's self-promo rules, and keep a human in the loop to review and post. This markets on Reddit the honest way: contribute value, disclose who you are, never astroturf. Distilled from the playbook behind doany.ai's Reddit agent. Triggers on "find reddit opportunities", "reddit marketing", "reddit automation", "reply on reddit for my product", "reddit community engagement", "reddit lead gen", or any ask to turn Reddit threads into genuine, disclosed marketing replies.
