## What it does

moda-brand handles brand kits: it can list and display them, attach a kit to a canvas, and compare a design with the kit’s palette, fonts, and logo assets. An audit reports results for individual elements. For an off-kit color, it gives the node ID and the closest kit color; logo checks cover size, variant, and contrast.

Create a kit from a website or enter its tokens manually; do not combine those sources in one command. For site extraction, use `moda brand create --url <site>`. The skill can also revise kit details and add or remove image attachments. It manages visual identity, rather than producing a finished video or deck: the relevant artifact skill leads that work and can pull in the kit.

Load `moda-core` once per session before using this skill. It requires `moda doctor --json` before other actions, and checks existing kits with `moda brand list` before creating one.

```bash
npx skills add moda-design/moda --skill moda-brand -a cursor
```

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

## When to use it
- list brand kits and inspect their contents
- create a kit from a website or manual tokens
- apply kit colors, fonts, and logos to a canvas
- audit a design for off-kit colors and fonts
- revise kit details and image attachments

## Example prompts
- List the available brand kits and summarize each one.
- Create a brand kit from `<site>`.
- Check canvas `<canvas>` against kit `<kit>`.

  Moda brand kits — fetch, create, update, apply, and audit designs against
  them. Use for: brand kit, on-brand, brand colors/fonts/logo, "use our
  brand", "match our site", rebrand. Create from a website URL OR manual
  tokens, never both. Kits, not renders: the artifact skill
  leads and pulls the kit — a brand-led "make a video" → moda-video.
  Designing a NEW logo → moda-social.

# moda-brand

<!-- moda:banner -->
**PREREQUISITE — load `moda-core` once per session** (step-0, write contract,
free/metered map). Already loaded? Skip ahead. If you cannot load it, the
non-negotiables: run `moda doctor --json` before anything; `moda brand list`
before creating; writes that pin a revision use your last read's — on
`stale_revision`, re-read and retry once (it heals); send the canvas link the
moment it exists; stuck or failed? `moda ask "<question>"` — free and fast,
never guess.
<!-- /moda:banner -->

## Kits, not renders

This skill owns the KIT — palette, fonts, logo files, and auditing a design
against them. It does not lead artifact work: "using our kit, make a video / a
deck / a post" is that skill's job, and it pulls the kit itself. Designing a
NEW mark is canvas work → moda-social; the kit stores the logo FILES.

## Which kit — decide before anything is created

`moda brand list` first (one cheap call, never skipped), then exactly one of:

- the user already answered — a kit the request names ("the Acme deck"), one
  pinned (`.moda/context.json`, `moda brand use`), or an explicit "no brand" →
  use that;
- otherwise ASK which brand kit this NEW design uses, then wait — even with one
  kit or none. Offer their kits (name + logo), a NEW kit (`moda brand create`
  from their website, free), or no kit. A team `(default)` is not the user's
  answer, nor is being the only kit; topic fit is never a signal, and
  near-identical names (Acme, Acme 2) mean ask even when named;
- none fits — a personal or off-topic ask among other people's brands → say so
  in one line when you ask, and offer a new kit or none. Never unbranded in
  silence.

**No kit means you invent an identity**, never that you design plain: a
palette with two color worlds, distinctive faces, a motif, all chosen for this
subject — references/no-brand-design.md. A generic blue-and-gray result is a
failed run, not a neutral one. With a kit, the latitude you have is the
adherence dial in references/brand.md (Balanced by default).

Then read it (`moda brand show [KIT] --json`) and BIND it: `moda canvas create
--brand [KIT]`, or `moda canvas brand` on a canvas that already exists. Name
the kit at hand-over. More work coming? Offer `moda brand use [KIT]` (`--local`
pins it to this repo). An explicit "no brand" from the user wins.

## Operations

- **List / read**: `moda brand list`, then `moda brand show BRAND_REF --json`
```
