# brand.yml Skill Create and use `_brand.yml` files for consistent branding across Shiny applications and Quarto documents. ## What is brand.yml? brand.yml is a YAML-based format that translates brand guidelines into a machine-readable file usable across Shiny and Quarto. A single `_brand.yml` file defines: - **Colors** - Palette and semantic colors (primary, success, warning, etc.) - **Typography** - Fonts, sizes, weights, line heights - **Logos** - Multiple sizes and light/dark variants - **Meta** - Company name, links, identity information ## File Naming Convention - **Standard name**: `_brand.yml` (auto-discovered by Shiny and Quarto) - **Custom names**: Any name like `company-brand.yml` (requires explicit paths) - **Location**: Typically at project root, or in `_brand/` or `brand/` subdirectories ## Decision Tree Determine the user's goal and follow the appropriate workflow: 1. **Creating a new _brand.yml file?** → Follow "Creating brand.yml Files" 2. **Using brand.yml in Shiny for R?** → Read `references/shiny-r.md` 3. **Using brand.yml in Shiny for Python?** → Read `references/shiny-python.md` 4. **Using brand.yml in Quarto?** → Read `references/quarto.md` 5. **Using brand.yml in R (general)?** → Read `references/brand-yml-in-r.md` (R Markdown, theming functions, programmatic access) 6. **Modifying existing _brand.yml?** → Follow "Modifying Existing Files" 7. **Troubleshooting integration?** → Follow "Troubleshooting" ## Creating brand.yml Files When creatin...

brand-style

Applies the Northlight brand identity — approved fonts, the brand palette, and full-color logo artwork — to every deliverable file. Use this skill automatically and without being asked whenever producing a Word document, PowerPoint deck, Excel workbook, PDF, HTML page, dashboard, chart, or image for Northlight. Reports, memos, letters, board decks, one-pagers, proposals, policies, briefs, trackers, and scorecards all qualify. Trigger even when the user says nothing about branding, style, fonts, colors, or logos — branding is the default, not a request. Also use when asked to look up a brand color or hex value, restyle or clean up an existing file, check whether something is on brand, or fix a document that looks generic or off-brand. Do not apply to Markdown, Python, JSON, YAML, CSV, or source code files.

brand-book

Builds a complete, professional brand guidelines document (a brand book, style guide, or charte graphique) as a single HTML file. It starts by asking what the person already has (logo, colours, fonts), asks a few questions about the atmosphere only for what is missing, researches colours and Google Fonts to match, and opens a picker page with three palette proposals, font pairings, a search across the whole Google Fonts catalogue and room for the person's own fonts, all with a live preview. When the choices come back, it writes the 27-page book modelled on the published guidelines of the world's most valuable brands. The book covers essence and voice, logo clear space, minimum size, backgrounds and misuse, palette, proportions and accessible pairs, type families and hierarchy, grid, imagery, stationery, digital and presentation mockups, the don'ts, and code tokens. Use when someone asks for brand guidelines, a brand book, a visual identity guide, help choosing brand colours or fonts, or "guidelines like the b
