# canva-brand-check

Checks a Canva design against a brand kit and flags visual or copy differences. It only reads the design; it won’t edit it.

## What it does

The skill uses Canva tools to inspect a design and its brand kit, then reports findings for color, typography, logo use, copy tone, and consistency across pages. Each area is marked as matching, diverging, or not verifiable.

Exact color and font checks depend on the data Canva exposes. A kit may provide a name and thumbnail, while design details may omit color and font attributes. In that case, the skill compares thumbnails and asks for palette and font values before making a precise assessment. It does not guess brand specifications, and it cancels its read-only inspection transaction instead of saving changes.

Access to Canva is needed, and you may need to choose a kit when several are available. If the `brandkit:read` permission is missing, reconnect the Canva connector. The skill itself does not fix designs; `canva-edit-design` can handle some text styling, but not font families or background colors.
