Solid

Apply pre-composed aesthetic archetype defaults to jumpstart brand design work covering color, typography, layout, voice, and imagery direction. Use this skill whenever the user wants a starting point for brand visual and verbal direction, references a brand they want to design near (for example 'something like Stripe' or 'editorial like Linear'), needs to converge faster from many directions to one, or wants known-good defaults for a specific industry vertical. Triggers on archetype, design archetype, brand archetype, near to (brand), in the style of, similar aesthetic, design starting point, brand template, vertical-typical, industry-typical. Also triggers when the user has a brief and wants to map it to a known aesthetic family rather than design from first principles.

Each archetype bundles color tendencies, type pairings, layout patterns, voice samples, and imagery direction for a recognizable aesthetic family. Stack-agnostic. Tool-agnostic. This is a starting-point library, not a methodology library. The agent applies archetype defaults to a specific brief; the archetypes themselves provide anchor points, not endpoints. --- ## When to use - The user wants a starting point rather than designing from first principles - The user references a brand or aesthetic family they want to design near - Need to converge faster from many directions to one - The user wants vertical-typical defaults (for example fintech consumer, B2B developer tools) - The user wants to test what a brief would look like in a different archetype ## When NOT to use - The user wants pure methodology guidance (use `brand-identity`) - The user is in early ideation needing positioning territories (use `brand-ideation`) - Defining voice for an existing brand (use `brand-voice`) - Documenting a finished brand (use `brand-style-guide`) --- ## How this composes with other skills This skill works upstream of `brand-identity` (provides starting defaults that brand-identity refines into a finished system) and parallel to `creative-direction` (archetypes can be located by position on the 4 creative-direction axes). Typical flow when this skill is invoked: 1. User provides a...

brand-library-architect

Build a complete brand library for a product — visual asset render pipeline, brand documentation set (BRAND, COPY, MANIFESTO, BIOS, FAQ, GLOSSARY, TONE, PRICING), open-source convention files (README, CONTRIBUTING, SECURITY, CODE_OF_CONDUCT), and a self-contained press kit. This skill should be used when the user asks to "build a brand library / brand kit / press kit / brand assets" for a product, "set up a brand library workflow," "create a positioning manifesto plus visual identity," or any combination of brand documentation + visual asset pipeline. Apply phase-by-phase or run end-to-end. Templates are product-agnostic and use {{TOKEN}} placeholders the skill prompts the user to fill.

Triggers on creative brief, design brief, build brief, brand direction, where should this brand sit, what should this site look like, reference sites for, archetype for, distinct from our other brands, divergence from prior, not the same as.
