Body Text And ReadingAUse when setting or fixing running text meant to be read continuously — article bodies, documentation, long-form pages, onboarding copy, email. Also use when readers report eye strain, losing their place, re-reading lines, or text that "feels dense", and when choosing body size, line-height, or measure.designgitdocumentationVotes: 0GitHub stars: 2
Color And Icon FontsAUse when type needs to be more than one flat colour, or when glyphs carry non-letter meaning — layer fonts, colour fonts (COLRv1, OT-SVG, bitmap), CSS font-palette, icon fonts, emoji. Also use when deciding between an icon font and SVG, when a colour font renders as flat black, or when emoji or icons break in a screen reader.designgonodeVotes: 0GitHub stars: 2
Design Token GenerationAUse when turning typographic decisions into tokens, variables, or theme config — naming a type scale, structuring font/size/weight/line-height tokens, exporting to CSS/Tailwind/Style Dictionary/iOS/Android, or fixing a token set that has drifted into arbitrary values. Also use when design and code disagree about what the type scale actually is.designexpressdocumentationVotes: 0GitHub stars: 2
Editorial Web TypographyAUse when designing article, long-form, marketing, or art-directed pages — pull quotes, drop caps, captions, bylines, subheads, figures, footnotes, hero compositions. Also use when an article template feels flat and undifferentiated, or when a page needs expressive typographic voice without sacrificing readability.designgoexpressVotes: 0GitHub stars: 2
Font Loading And PerformanceAUse when shipping webfonts — choosing formats, subsetting, preloading, setting font-display, eliminating FOUT/FOIT, or fixing layout shift (CLS) caused by font swap. Also use when fonts are slow, text is invisible on load, the page jumps when fonts arrive, or Core Web Vitals flag font-related shift.ai-agentsgogitVotes: 0GitHub stars: 2
Hierarchy And ScaleAUse when building or fixing a type scale, choosing heading sizes, or when a screen's importance ordering is unclear — everything looks the same weight, users miss the primary action, or headings compete. Also use when a design has drifted into a dozen ad-hoc font sizes.designgoexpressVotes: 0GitHub stars: 2
International TypographyAUse whenever type will render in a non-Latin script or a language other than English — Arabic, Hebrew, CJK, Indic, Cyrillic, Greek, Thai. Also use for bidirectional text, vertical writing, localisation-driven layout breakage, font stacks for multiple scripts, and any assumption that Latin typographic rules generalise.designgotestingVotes: 0GitHub stars: 2
MicrotypographyAUse when text is technically correct but reads poorly — uneven word spacing, rivers, bad rags, orphans and widows, awkward hyphenation, loose or tight tracking, wrong quote marks and dashes, cramped all-caps. Also use when a design "feels cheap", "looks AI-generated", or "something is off" and the cause is spacing detail rather than font choice.ai-agentsgogitVotes: 0GitHub stars: 2
Motion TypographyAUse when type moves or changes over time — animated headlines, kinetic type, text transitions, animated or responsive logotypes, scroll-driven text effects, typing/counting animations, variable-font axis animation, or loading and streaming text. Also use when motion is making text hard to read, causing discomfort, or failing reduced-motion and accessibility requirements.ai-agentsgotestingVotes: 0GitHub stars: 2
Responsive TypographyAUse when type must adapt across viewports, containers, or devices — fluid sizing with clamp(), breakpoint jumps, text that overflows or shrinks illegibly on mobile, headings that wrap badly, or a scale that works on desktop and collapses on phone. Also use when building a type system intended to be resolution-independent.designgoperformanceVotes: 0GitHub stars: 2
Type FoundationsAUse when typographic vocabulary or first principles are needed — what an em actually is, font vs typeface, leading vs line-height, points vs pixels, how CSS units relate, what the em square means. Also use when someone is confidently using a term incorrectly, or when an explanation needs grounding before a decision is made.designgoapiVotes: 0GitHub stars: 2
TypeAUse when the user invokes /type, or when any task involves setting, choosing, scaling, spacing, loading, tokenizing, auditing, or critiquing type — a font choice, a type scale, body copy, headings, a data table, a UI label, responsive text, webfont performance, or non-Latin script. Also use when a screen "looks off" and the cause may be typographic. Dispatcher that routes to the focused typography-* skills.designgoexpressVotes: 0GitHub stars: 2
Typeface AnatomyAUse when reading a specimen, naming letterform parts, or explaining why two typefaces differ — apertures, counters, terminals, stroke contrast, axis, x-height, proportions. Also use when a font choice needs to be justified from visible evidence rather than vibes, or when comparing candidates that "look basically the same".ai-agentsgoangularVotes: 0GitHub stars: 2
Typeface PairingAUse when combining two or more typefaces — heading plus body, display plus UI, adding a face to an existing system, or diagnosing a pairing that "clashes" or "looks the same". Also use when deciding whether a second typeface is needed at all.designrustgoVotes: 0GitHub stars: 2
Typeface SelectionAUse when choosing or replacing a typeface — "which font should we use", evaluating candidates, building a type palette, or replacing a face that isn't working. Also use when a font must carry a brand tone, survive small sizes, support extra scripts, or fit a licensing and performance budget.ai-agentsgoexpressVotes: 0GitHub stars: 2
Typography AccessibilityAUse whenever type carries information — always co-load this with body text, UI, and editorial typography work. Specifically for contrast, 200% zoom, user text-spacing overrides, Dynamic Type, dyslexia and low-vision needs, screen-reader compatibility, images of text, and any claim that typography is "accessible".designgoapiVotes: 0GitHub stars: 2
Typography AuditAUse when systematically reviewing existing typography against criteria — "check this page", "audit our type", pre-launch review, design-system compliance, or inherited work of unknown quality. Produces a pass/fail finding list with evidence. Use typography-critique instead when the question is about taste rather than compliance.ai-agentsgoexpressVotes: 0GitHub stars: 2
Typography CritiqueAUse when the question is quality or taste rather than compliance — "is this any good", "does this feel right", "why does this look generic or AI-generated", art-direction review, or judging whether a typographic risk pays off. Use typography-audit instead when checking against defined criteria.designgoreactVotes: 0GitHub stars: 2
Typography Layout SystemsAUse when composing type in space rather than sizing it — deciding how a poster, hero, editorial spread, dashboard, or landing page is structurally organized. Also use when a layout feels arbitrary, elements float without relationship, a grid is being applied by reflex, or a composition needs deliberate tension or movement.designgoexpressVotes: 0GitHub stars: 2
Ui Component TypographyAUse when setting type inside interface components — buttons, labels, inputs, form errors, navigation, badges, tooltips, tables, dense dashboards. Also use when numbers jitter in a table, labels wrap unpredictably, UI text is illegible at small sizes, or a component's text breaks in another language.designgitapiVotes: 0GitHub stars: 2
Variable FontsAUse when working with variable fonts — choosing between variable and static files, using weight/width/optical-size/slant axes, setting font-variation-settings vs standard properties, animating axes, or deciding whether a variable font actually saves bytes. Also use when a variable font renders wrong or ignores its axes.designgogitVotes: 0GitHub stars: 2
Brand Case StudiesAUse when you need a real-world brand-identity precedent to justify a recommendation, cite a comparable project, or diagnose what made an identity succeed — e.g. a rebrand honoring heritage/equity, localizing or naming for a new market, differentiating from a parent company, launching a new company or category, unifying a fractured multi-touchpoint ecosystem, or building a dynamic/flexible system.ai-agentsgoVotes: 0GitHub stars: 2
Brand DynamicsAUse when accounting for contemporary forces on a brand — social justice stances, sustainability/triple bottom line, going global or localizing, AI in the workflow, big-data analytics, social media strategy, digital/AR/VR interfaces, mobile app icons, evidence-based marketing, private-label architecture, brand licensing, certification symbols, crisis communications, or personal branding.content-marketingrustgoVotes: 0GitHub stars: 2
Brand ElementsAUse when choosing or evaluating the concrete building blocks of a visual identity — deciding which type of logo or mark fits a brand (wordmark, letterform, pictorial, abstract, emblem, dynamic), naming a company or product, judging whether a name or tagline is strong, or picking whether a brand needs a character. Reach for it whenever the question is 'what type of mark/name/tagline should this be' rather than how to run the identity process.content-marketinggoshellVotes: 0GitHub stars: 2
Brand FundamentalsAUse when someone conflates brand, branding, brand identity, and brand strategy or asks what those words mean; when justifying investment in identity; when mapping stakeholders, aligning culture with brand, defining brand experience, or choosing a brand-architecture type (branded house vs house of brands vs endorsed/hybrid); or when scoping visual identity, messaging/voice, or governance.content-marketinggoexpressVotes: 0GitHub stars: 2
Brand IdealsAUse when judging, critiquing, or defending brand identity work and functional checkboxes (recognizable, protectable, consistent) aren't enough to explain why one identity is better; evaluating a proposed logo/system, setting acceptance criteria for an identity project, repositioning a brand, or grading a merger/retail/venture identity against a rubric.ai-agentsrustgoVotes: 0GitHub stars: 2
Brand RedesignAUse when deciding whether to refresh an existing brand, evolve vs overhaul a brandmark, redesign packaging, or rename a company or product — and when judging how much brand equity to preserve, whether a redesign is warranted, or how to justify the business case for change.ai-agentsrustgoVotes: 0GitHub stars: 2
BrandAUse when the user invokes /brand, or asks to build, name, position, design, roll out, evaluate, or refresh a brand identity — a logo/brandmark, brand strategy, positioning, brand brief, visual system, brand guidelines, touchpoints, or a rebrand — and it is unclear which brand-identity reference skills apply. Dispatcher that routes to the right companion skills distilled from Wheeler & Meyerson's Designing Brand Identity (6e).content-marketinggotestingVotes: 0GitHub stars: 2
Clarifying StrategyAUse when defining what a brand stands for and what to call it — distilling research into a unifying idea, narrowing focus, writing a positioning strategy, developing a brand brief, running a naming project, or screening names for trademark/legal availability. Also when a merger, joint venture, blank-page startup, or repositioning needs a strategy or name.businessgoexpressVotes: 0GitHub stars: 2
Conducting ResearchAUse when starting a brand identity project and you need to understand the organization before designing — gathering baseline documents, interviewing stakeholders, defining the problem, running market research or usability tests, auditing marketing/competitors/language, or presenting a findings report to decision makers.content-marketinggoawsVotes: 0GitHub stars: 2
Creating TouchpointsAUse when the identity concept is approved and it's time to roll it out across every touchpoint — designing or reviewing the website, collateral, stationery, product, packaging, advertising, branded environments, signage/wayfinding, vehicles, uniforms, or ephemera — or when applications feel inconsistent, off-brand, or produced ad hoc without a unified system.content-marketinggoexpressVotes: 0GitHub stars: 2
Designing IdentityAUse when starting Phase 3 creative design after the brand brief is agreed — designing the actual visual/sensory system: choosing wordmark vs symbol, building color palettes, selecting or commissioning typefaces, designing iconography, defining look and feel, adding sound/scent/touch/taste, testing marks in trial applications, or planning the first design presentation.content-marketinggoexpressVotes: 0GitHub stars: 2
Managing Brand AssetsAUse when launching a new or changed brand identity, rebranding or merging entities, planning an internal vs external rollout, building employee brand champions, standing up an online brand center or DAM, writing brand guidelines or a brand book, or deciding what content the standards must cover to keep the brand consistent over time.content-marketinggoexpressVotes: 0GitHub stars: 2
Managing The ProcessAUse when planning or running a brand-identity initiative end to end — scoping a rebrand or new brand, estimating how long it will take, setting up project-management or decision-making protocols, choosing who leads, judging whether the organization is ready to start, defining how success is measured, handling collaboration across silos, or sorting out trademark/IP basics.businessrustgoVotes: 0GitHub stars: 2
