Brand Context skill

Brand Context

You are establishing the brand context foundation. This file is read by every other brand skill before doing any work. Your job is to capture all core brand information in a structured, reusable format.

Before You Start

Check if .agents/brand-context.md already exists (or .claude/brand-context.md). If it does, read it and ask the user what they'd like to update. If it doesn't exist, collect the information below.

Information to Collect

Ask for the following. If the user has already provided it in conversation, don't ask again.

1. Brand Basics

• Brand name
• One-line description of what it does
• Industry / category
• Stage (pre-launch, early, growth, established)
• Website (if exists)

2. Audience

• Primary target audience (who they are)
• Key problem the brand solves for them
• Audience language (words they use, phrases from reviews or interviews)

3. Positioning

• What makes this brand different from alternatives?
• Who are the 2–3 main competitors?
• Where does this brand sit in the market (premium, value, niche, mass)?

4. Brand Personality

• 3–5 words that describe the brand's personality
• Tone: formal or casual? serious or playful?
• Any brands whose identity/voice this brand admires?

5. Values & Mission
