## What it does

The skill walks through the visual side of a brand: typography, color, spacing, design tokens, slide decks and frontend look. It starts by pinning down scope — a new brand, an audit, or a single component — then gives recommendations. For type it suggests a two-font system: one display face for headlines, one body face for text, with a scale of 1.25–1.5 and no more than 3–4 styles per block.

Colors get split into roles: primary, secondary, CTA, background, text. Print and digital need HEX, RGB and CMYK, and for programmatic slides such as `python-pptx` the brand HEX values map to `(R, G, B)` tuples. Contrast is checked against thresholds: at least 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text. If your palette misses those numbers, that is a reason to rework it before layout, not after.

There is a frontend aesthetics section too. It advises against Inter, Roboto, Arial and system fonts, since they make interfaces look alike. Motion should be CSS-only for HTML and use the Motion library in React, always respecting `prefers-reduced-motion`. One limit worth knowing: the skill hands you principles and checklists, it does not draw finished mockups.

## Requirements
- Works with: Google Workspace

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add kostja94/marketing-skills --skill brand-visual-generator -a claude-code
```
```bash
npx skills add kostja94/marketing-skills --skill brand-visual -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/brand-visual/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/brand-visual/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add kostja94/marketing-skills --skill brand-visual -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/brand-visual/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add kostja94/marketing-skills --skill brand-visual -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/brand-visual/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install kostja94/marketing-skills brand-visual
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/brand-visual/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add kostja94/marketing-skills --skill brand-visual -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/kostja94/marketing-skills --path skills/components/branding/brand-visual
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/brand-visual/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add kostja94/marketing-skills --skill brand-visual -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/kostja94/marketing-skills/tree/HEAD/skills/components/branding/brand-visual/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- pick a font pairing and type scale for a new site
- build a role-based palette and check contrast against WCAG
- move colors and type into design tokens and CSS variables
- convert brand HEX values to RGB for generated slides
- audit an existing style guide for inconsistencies

## Example prompts
- help me define the visual identity for a new brand
- check my palette for contrast and suggest color roles
- pick a font pairing and scale for a landing page

# Components: Brand Visual Identity

Guides visual identity for consistent brand presentation. Companies with consistent branding see up to 23-33% revenue lift; 94% of consumers say consistency influences buying decisions.

**Keywords**: visual identity, design tokens, color palette, typography, CSS variables, slide deck, brand guidelines, frontend aesthetics, accessibility

**When invoking**: On **first use**, if helpful, open with 1-2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On **subsequent use** or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.

## Initial Assessment

**Project context:** Read root `contextus.md` when present and load only the modules relevant to this task. Without Contextus, use available project material or user-provided facts and ask for missing information; do not create a parallel context system.

Identify:
1. **Scope**: New brand, audit, or component design
2. **Touchpoints**: Web, print, social, product UI, **slides** (PowerPoint, Google Slides, Keynote), **documents** (Word, Google Docs, PDF reports)
3. **Existing assets**: Logo, style guide, design files

## Best Practices

### Typography

- **Two-font system**: One display font for headlines, one body font for text. Contrast + harmony: different enough for distinct roles, similar enough to feel cohesive.
- **Body font**: Prioritize legibility—large x-height, open counters. For neutral/safe: Source Sans 3, Lora, IBM Plex Sans. **For distinctiveness**: avoid overused AI fonts (Inter, Roboto, Arial, system fonts); prefer characterful choices that elevate the brand. See **Frontend Aesthetics**.
```
