SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Teams often struggle to keep brand expression consistent when adapting an existing brand system across different surfaces like product UI, marketing pages, emails, and documents, leading to off-brand colors, wrong assets, and accessibility failures. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Rule Extraction and Mapping: Locates brand guides, design tokens, and approved assets, then maps identity, visual, verbal, and implementation rules to the target deliverable. - Channel Adaptation: Adapts brand expression to each medium (mobile screen, email, slide, social post) while preserving recognizable brand attributes and legal marks. - Compliance Verification: Checks the final artifact at real output sizes for correct assets, color and type roles, voice, contrast, and reduced-motion behavior. - Use Case: A designer building a new landing page uses this Skill to pull the correct semantic tokens, approved logo variants, and voice rules from the brand system, then verifies contrast and flags any conflicts before shipping. ## Quick Start Apply our existing brand guidelines to this landing page design and verify it against our brand tokens and accessibility requirements.

FAQPage Schema
How do I apply brand guidelines to a new design?▼

Start by locating the sources of truth: brand guide, design tokens, component library, and approved assets. Extract only the rules affecting your deliverable, map them to the target surface, reuse approved tokens and components, then verify the result against the source material.

What is the difference between applying and creating brand guidelines?▼

Applying brand guidelines means translating an existing brand system into a concrete deliverable without inventing new rules. Creating brand guidelines means defining the brand system itself, which requires a separate brand-creation workflow.

How do I handle brand colors that fail accessibility contrast?▼

Treat accessibility as a delivery constraint. If an approved color combination fails contrast or legibility checks, preserve the brand intent and flag the conflict with an accessible alternative rather than silently changing the palette.

Should I use literal color values or design tokens?▼

Prefer semantic tokens such as brand-primary and text-muted over repeated literal values. Tokens keep the implementation aligned with the brand system and make future updates propagate consistently across surfaces.

When should brand rules be adapted for different channels?▼

Adapt the expression when the medium demands it, such as mobile screens, emails, slides, or social posts, since each needs different compositions. Keep recognizable brand attributes intact and document intentional channel adaptations to distinguish them from noncompliance.
