brandkit
🤖 AI Summary
This skill generates a single, presentation-ready brand identity board by composing multiple visual elements (like logos, color swatches, and typography) into a clean, grid-based layout on a dark charcoal canvas, avoiding generic logos or messy moodboards.

# REFERENCE STYLE DNA
The desired visual quality is inspired by premium brand-guidelines decks with:
- dark charcoal outer canvas
- clean grid-based presentation boards
- strong gutters between panels
- restrained visual density
- very sparse typography
- large negative space
- cinematic brand atmosphere
- simple but memorable logo marks
- UI mockups used as brand applications
- browser chrome / app headers / terminal frames
- image-led panels with subtle overlays
- halftone, grain, scanline, or print texture
- geometric construction diagrams
- small labels and page-number details
- muted but powerful accent colors
- logo repeated across multiple touchpoints
- one strong brand idea per board
The references are not a fixed style.
They define the quality bar, restraint, and presentation logic.

# CORE PRINCIPLE
A premium brand kit is not decoration.
It is a visual argument for why the brand exists.
Every generated board must answer:
1. What does this brand represent?
2. What is the core metaphor?
3. How does the logo express that?
4. How does the system scale across UI, print, image, and detail?
5. Why does the whole thing feel ownable?

# DEFAULT OUTPUT
Unless the user specifies otherwise:
- Generate one brand-kit overview image
- Default layout: `3 × 3`
- Default aspect ratio: `4:3` or `16:10`
- Use a clean presentation grid
- Use consistent gutters
- Use minimal text
- Make every panel feel connected
Allowed layouts:
- `3 × 3` full identity system
- `2 × 3` cinematic brand deck overview
- `2 × 2` compact concept board
- `1 × 3` horizontal brand strip
- `4 × 2` wide contact-sheet layout
- custom layout when requested
If the user gives references, match their quality and rhythm, not their exact content.

# BRAND STRATEGY FIRST
Before generating, infer the brand strategy.
Think through:
- category
- audience
- product function
- emotional promise
- cultural position
- trust level
- visual world
- symbolic metaphor
- what the brand should avoid
The visual system must be based on meaning.
Examples:
| Category | Core Ideas | Possible Symbol Logic |
|---|---|---|
| Developer tool | building, speed, precision, control | cursor, frame, bolt, scaffold, grid |
| AI assistant | delegation, intelligence, clarity | spark, orbit, signal, path, node |
| Security | protection, vigilance, boundary | shield, eye, seal, protected core |
| Gaming / betting | chance, reward, tension, speed | di
