  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • 2 bundled files

    Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.

  • Open source

    Published by bitwarden on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Applying Bitwarden Branding AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.
2

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/bitwarden/ai-plugins.git /tmp/ai-plugins
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/ai-plugins/plugins/bitwarden-design-tools/skills/applying-bitwarden-branding .claude/skills/applying-bitwarden-branding
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Applying Bitwarden Branding in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Applying Bitwarden Branding on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Applying Bitwarden Branding is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Applying Bitwarden Branding

This skill grounds brand-application decisions in Bitwarden's two canonical sources:

  • bitwarden.com/brand — the brand guidelines hub, including logo lockups, the radius system, social-post framing, product images, and B-roll.
  • github.com/bitwarden/brand — the source-of-truth repository for SVG logos, PNG product icons (multiple sizes), the shield mark, color palette in multiple formats (HEX, HSL, SCSS), screenshots, and media assets.

When applying brand in real work, treat the repo as canonical for assets and the brand site as canonical for usage rules. Detailed reference material lives in references/brand-assets.md (asset inventory and file paths) and references/color-palette.md (full palette with usage notes and SCSS variable names).

The five rules that catch the most mistakes

  1. Capitalize the B in Bitwarden. Always. The W is never capitalized. The only place "bitwarden" appears lowercase is inside the official logo lockup — not in body copy, not in headlines, not in handles or URLs.
  2. Primary palette before tertiary palette. Green, Yellow, and Red are tertiary — use them sparingly, primarily in product graphics and for success / warning / error communications. They are not headline colors.
  3. Inter for everything. Product and website. The available weights are 300 (light), 400 (regular), 500 (medium), 600 (semi-bold), and 700 (bold).
  4. Logo safe-area is non-negotiable. Horizontal lockup needs one Bitwarden-shield width of clear space on every side. Vertical lockup uses the height of the "X" in the logotype. Cramped logos break the lockup.
  5. 36px radius system, but buttons are the exception. Rounded corners follow a 36px radius across primary brand surfaces. Buttons sit outside that system — don't apply 36px to buttons.

Logo usage

  • Default mark. /logos/logo-horizontal-blue.svg from the brand repo. Horizontal is the primary/preferred lockup.
  • Inverse (for dark backgrounds). /logos/logo-horizontal-white.svg.
  • Vertical lockup. Available for use cases where horizontal doesn't fit; the safe area uses the height of the "X" in the logotype.
  • Product icon (the shield). Available rounded and square, at 16/32/64/128/256 px PNG plus SVG (/logos/icon.svg, /logos/icon-inverse.svg, /icons/*.png). The shield itself lives at /shield/.
  • Product logos. Unique lockups exist for individual Bitwarden products (Password Manager, Secrets Manager, etc.). Use these "primarily for use in-product."

Don't recolor, distort, rotate, or recompose the logo. If the supplied SVG doesn't fit the need, reach out to the brand owners rather than improvising a variant.

Color palette quick reference

Full palette with all variable names is in references/color-palette.md. Five colors carry most of the work:

ColorHEXUse
Bitwarden Blue#175DDCPrimary brand color. Headlines, primary CTAs, accents.
Deep Blue#0C3276Secondary brand color. Dense surfaces, headers.
Off White#F3F6F9Default light surface.
True Black#000000Default text on light surfaces.
Teal Highlight#2CDDE9Accent and highlight — pair with the blues.

Tertiary palette (Green #7BF1A8, Yellow #FDC700, Red #FF6550) is sparingly applied for product graphics and success/warning/error states. The brand site is explicit on this.

SCSS variable names (from the brand repo's brand-colors/palette.scss):

  • $bitwarden-blue, $deep-blue, $off-white, $true-white, $true-black, $light-grey, $teal-highlight, $light-teal-highlight, $tertiary-green, $tertiary-yellow, $tertiary-red.

Typography

  • Typeface: Inter (open-source, Google Fonts).
  • Weights available: 300 (light), 400 (regular), 500 (medium), 600 (semi-bold), 700 (bold).
  • Use: product UI and website body / headline copy. The brand site doesn't enumerate weight-per-context rules; defer to product or marketing leads when an unusual case comes up.

Iconography

  • Web icons. Designed for a wide range of uses with more detail than the product icon.
  • Product icon (shield). Available rounded and square at multiple sizes from the brand repo's /icons/ directory.

Asset paths and full sizing tables are in references/brand-assets.md.

Capitalization and trademark

  • The "B" in Bitwarden is capitalized in all copy text.
  • The "W" is never capitalized — neither BITWARDEN (in body copy) nor bitWarden.
  • The only place "bitwarden" appears in lowercase is inside the official logo lockup itself.
  • "Bitwarden" is a registered trademark of Bitwarden Inc. — surface this when content is external-facing and trademark attribution is appropriate.

Composing with other skills

  • content-style-guide. Brand sits alongside content style. When reviewing user-visible surfaces, walk both: this skill catches color, logo, and capitalization issues; the content style guide catches voice, tone, sentence case, and accessibility.
  • using-figma. Use get_variable_defs to check whether a design's colors are library-bound and aligned to the brand palette; use get_libraries to confirm the right design library is loaded before claiming a design is on-brand.
  • preparing-design-handoff. Surface brand findings as part of the handoff gate — flag them as Figma annotations or as open questions in the Epic when something is off-brand at handoff time. Don't quietly fix.
  • evolving-design-system-components. New patterns must respect the brand palette and the 36px radius system (with the button exception). The Component Library governance review catches obvious violations, but raise them explicitly when sponsoring a pattern.

Output format for brand checks

When asked "is this on-brand?", structure the response as:

  1. What's checked — which brand surfaces this design touches (logo, color, typography, iconography, capitalization).
  2. What's on-brand — what's working and should stay.
  3. What's off-brand — each finding tied to the specific brand rule it violates (cite the section, e.g., "Tertiary palette overused — Green appears in three non-state surfaces, per the bitwarden.com/brand tertiary-usage rule").
  4. Proposed corrections — concrete swaps the designer can apply, sourced from the canonical palette or asset.

Keep findings specific. "The headline uses #7BF1A8 (tertiary green) where Bitwarden Blue (#175DDC) is the brand-primary color" beats "the color is wrong."

Additional resources

  • references/brand-assets.md — full inventory of brand repo assets with file paths (logos, icons, shield, screenshots, media assets).
  • references/color-palette.md — full palette with HEX, HSL, SCSS variable names, and per-color usage notes.

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Applying Bitwarden Branding AI skill do?

Apply Bitwarden brand standards — logo usage, color palette, typography, iconography, and capitalization rules — grounded in bitwarden.com/brand and the bitwarden/brand repository.

Why use Applying Bitwarden Branding on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Applying Bitwarden Branding is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Applying Bitwarden Branding in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/bitwarden/ai-plugins/tree/main/plugins/bitwarden-design-tools/skills/applying-bitwarden-branding. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Applying Bitwarden Branding?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Applying Bitwarden Branding?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Applying Bitwarden Branding with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Applying Bitwarden Branding AI skill free?

It is published on GitHub by bitwarden. Check the repository for licensing terms. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
