# Brand

Brand identity, voice, messaging, asset management, and consistency frameworks.

## When to Use

- Brand voice definition and content tone guidance
- Visual identity standards and style guide development
- Messaging framework creation
- Brand consistency review and audit
- Asset organization, naming, and approval
- Color palette management and typography specs

## Quick Start

**Inject brand context into prompts:**
```bash
node scripts/inject-brand-context.cjs
node scripts/inject-brand-context.cjs --json
```

**Validate an asset:**
```bash
node scripts/validate-asset.cjs <asset-path>
```

**Extract/compare colors:**
```bash
node scripts/extract-colors.cjs --palette
node scripts/extract-colors.cjs <image-path>
```

## Brand Sync Workflow

```bash
# 1. Edit docs/brand-guidelines.md (or use /brand update)
# 2. Sync to design tokens
node scripts/sync-brand-to-tokens.cjs
# 3. Verify
node scripts/inject-brand-context.cjs --json | head -20
```

**Files synced:**
- `docs/brand-guidelines.md` → Source of truth
- `assets/design-tokens.json` → Token definitions
- `assets/design-tokens.css` → CSS variables
