## What it does

The skill calls `url_extraction` on the brand homepage to collect its text, rendered colours, fonts, logo and a screenshot. It then examines images for photography direction and checks visual details against the page. Findings go into `brand.md` under `./supercmo-company`.

Quick mode examines the screenshot; detailed mode also includes the site’s hero photos. When the site does not support a claim, the skill marks it for user input instead of filling in the gap. It needs a brand website: a page for one product belongs to `analyzing-products`.

description: Analyzes a brand from its own website — its colours and fonts, the logo and imagery it uses, how it sounds, who it sells to, the claims it makes, and what it sells. Reads the site and its pictures with a vision model, and marks anything the site doesn't evidence as unconfirmed rather than guessing. Facts only — nothing is generated, planned or judged here. Use when a brand's guidelines, palette, typography, voice, tone or positioning need establishing, or when another skill needs the brand before it plans or generates.

  summary: "Works out your brand from your website — your colours, fonts and logo, how you sound, who you sell to, what you sell, and the claims you stand behind. Anything your site doesn't actually say is written down as unconfirmed rather than invented, so the skills that plan and make your ads work from your real brand."

# Brand

Analyze what a brand is from its **website**.  Not for analyzing a single product's facts — that is `analyzing-products` skill.

## Workflow

### Step 1: Check whether the brand is already known

Read `brand.md` in `./supercmo-company`. Where it already holds this brand, hand it back and stop — re-researching bills again and tells the user nothing new. Carry on where it's missing, where it's a different brand, or where the user asked to re-analyze. A
request for a detailed run of a brand already saved is a re-analysis too: run Step 3 again for a
fresh screenshot (its link doesn't last), then Step 4 in detailed mode with the hero photos
from `brand.md`'s Assets, and patch only what they add.

### Step 2: Check what you were given

| What you have | What to do |
| --- | --- |
| A brand website | Carry on. |
| A product page — Amazon, Shopify, a single listing | Wrong skill. Hand it to `analyzing-products`, and say which you used. |
| Nothing, or a URL that won't load | Ask for the website. A brand described from memory is invented, not read. |
| No mode named, by the caller or the brief | Run quick mode. Don't ask: detailed mode runs only when the caller or the user asks for it. |

**When another skill runs this one** (onboarding, a campaign plan), ask the user nothing: report a
missing website or a site that couldn't be read back to that skill, and skip Step 6's hand-over — the
calling skill gives the one reply.

### Step 3: Read the site

Call `url_extraction` with the homepage as the `url` and **no `prompt` or `schema`**. It returns the
page's own text in `data.markdown`, and beside it `branding` — the colours, fonts and logo the page
actually renders — and `screenshot`, a picture of the page as a visitor first sees it. Read the
brand's identity off the text yourself, as `references/reading-the-brand.md` lays out: the brand's
name, what it sells, the logo, the tagline, how it writes, who it sells to, what sets it apart, and
the proof it offers for it. `metadata.title` and `metadata.description` are the brand's own words too:
use them where the text is thin. Keep `branding` and the screenshot for Step 4.
```
