  • 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.

  • Self-contained

    Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.

  • Open source

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

Installation

Install the Branding Identity 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.
    https://github.com/flitzrrr/frontend-design-skills/tree/main/skills-src/branding-identity
  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.

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/flitzrrr/frontend-design-skills.git /tmp/frontend-design-skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/frontend-design-skills/skills-src/branding-identity .claude/skills/branding-identity
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Branding Identity 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 Branding Identity 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 Branding Identity 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.

Branding and Identity

A brand is more than a logo. It encompasses all perceptions and experiences people have with a company. Design is strategy, not decoration.

Scope

Use this skill when you:

  • Develop or review a brand positioning
  • Create a corporate design or brand style guide
  • Align a website's visual identity with the brand strategy
  • Design portfolio or case study pages
  • Define tone of voice and brand personality
  • Ensure consistency across all touchpoints

Principles

1. A Brand Is More Than a Logo

Branding encompasses design, communication, service, and behavior. Everything shapes the brand.

2. Consistency Builds Trust

A brand is built through continuous, consistent communication over an extended period. Inconsistency destroys trust.

3. Positioning Is Mandatory

Every company must clearly define what sets it apart from the competition. Without positioning, the offering is interchangeable.

4. Brands Are Formed in People's Minds

The company does not define the brand — the audience's perception does. Branding actively steers that perception.

5. Authenticity Over Staging

Show real people, real work, real results. Disingenuous portrayals lead to disappointment.

Rules

DO: Develop a Positioning

  • DEFINE clearly what distinguishes the company.
  • IDENTIFY differentiators (quality, communication, pricing, service).
  • FORMULATE a positioning statement: "We are [what] for [whom], who [need], because [differentiator]."

DO: Define the Brand Core

  • DEFINE 3-5 core values for the brand.
  • FORMULATE a brand story: Why does the company exist? What problem does it solve?
  • DESCRIBE the brand personality: If the brand were a person — how would it speak?

DO: Implement Corporate Design Consistently

  • CREATE a design system with defined colors, fonts, spacing, and components.
  • USE the logo in predefined variants (color, black/white, icon-only, with/without tagline).
  • DEFINE logo placement, clear space, and minimum size.
  • LIMIT the color palette to a maximum of 5-7 colors.
  • SELECT a maximum of 2 font families.

DO: Design All Touchpoints

  • DESIGN every touchpoint intentionally: website, email, social media, print materials.
  • ENSURE that all touchpoints convey the same brand message.
  • DEFINE tone of voice: formal/informal, humorous/factual, addressing style.

DO: Use the Portfolio as a Brand Showcase

  • SHOW only the best and most representative work (quality over quantity).
  • DESCRIBE each project: initial situation, challenge, approach, solution, outcome.
  • USE high-quality, large-format images and mockups.
  • INTEGRATE client testimonials as social proof.
  • UPDATE the portfolio regularly.

DO: Make the About Page Personal

  • SHOW yourself/the team with authentic photos.
  • TELL the story behind the company.
  • OFFER multiple contact options prominently.

DON'T: Equate Branding with Logo Design

  • A logo alone does not create brand perception. It requires the full package.

DON'T: Send Inconsistent Brand Signals

  • DO NOT use different color schemes across different channels.
  • DO NOT change the communication style depending on the medium.
  • DO NOT alter the visual identity without strategic justification.

DON'T: Let Trends Dictate Brand Identity

  • DO NOT follow every design trend if it does not fit the brand.
  • PRESERVE the core identity beyond trends.
  • EVOLVE the brand gradually, not radically.

Patterns

Brand Style Guide

A documented reference containing logo specifications, color palette (Hex, RGB, CMYK), typography rules, visual language, tone of voice, spacing, and grid system. The authoritative reference for anyone designing on behalf of the brand. For details, see references/brand-style-guide.md.

Portfolio Project Page (Case Study)

Structured layout: 1. Project title and summary, 2. Initial situation and challenge, 3. Approach and process, 4. Visual results (large-format screenshots/mockups), 5. Measurable impact, 6. Client testimonial.

Brand Personality Spectrum

Define the brand on scales: Formal--Informal, Factual--Emotional, Serious--Humorous, Reserved--Confident. Each scale has a defined value, from which language examples are derived.

Visual Differentiator

Identify one or two visual elements unique to the brand (signature color, illustration style, distinctive typeface, recurring graphic motif). This element appears consistently across all touchpoints.

Before/After Showcase

For relaunch projects: before-and-after comparison as visual proof. Interactive slider or side-by-side. Supplement with measurable results (conversion increase, load time improvement).

Anti-Patterns

Logo-Only Branding

Branding is reduced to logo design with no strategy and no brand core. Solution: Positioning, values, tone of voice, and visual system as the foundation before logo design.

Anonymous Portfolio

Portfolio shows work but no person, no process, no context. Solution: Personal about page, process descriptions, client testimonials, clear contact options.

Trend-Chaser Design

Visual identity is completely overhauled with every trend. Prevents recognition. Solution: Keep the core identity stable; only adopt trends when they fit.

Appearing Larger Than You Are

A sole practitioner presents themselves as a large agency. Clients notice the discrepancy. Solution: Present authentically; communicate the strengths of a small team.

Portfolio Overload

Too many projects, small screenshots, no context. Solution: 5-10 best projects, large-format images, case study descriptions.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Branding Identity AI skill do?

Brand strategy, visual identity, positioning, corporate design, portfolio presentation, and consistent brand management across all digital touchpoints.

Why use Branding Identity on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Branding Identity 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 Branding Identity in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/flitzrrr/frontend-design-skills/tree/main/skills-src/branding-identity. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Branding Identity?

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 Branding Identity?

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

Is the Branding Identity AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by flitzrrr under the MIT license. 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.
