Brand Dev skill

Brand.dev Skill

Fetch brand data from the brand.dev API and save logos locally for serving.

Step 1: Get the Domain

Extract the target domain from the user's input. Strip protocol and trailing slashes (e.g., "https://example.com/" -> "example.com").

Step 2: Fetch Brand Info

# BRANDDEV_API_KEY must be set in your environment
curl -s "https://api.brand.dev/v1/brand/retrieve?domain=${DOMAIN}" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${BRANDDEV_API_KEY}" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json"

Extract from the response:

• Brand name (.brand.title or .brand.name)
• Description (.brand.description)
• Logo URLs (from .brand.logos[]) — prefer icon/square logos for card layouts, full logos for headers
• Industry/category if available

Step 3: Download Logos Locally

ALWAYS download logos locally for serving. Never reference external media.brand.dev URLs in production code — they can change or go down.

Where to save

The save location depends on the project. Look for existing patterns:

• Next.js / static sites: public/logos/<context>/ (served as /logos/<context>/)
• Other web projects: check for existing static/, assets/, images/, or public/ directories
• If no convention exists: create a logos/ directory under the project's static asset root

Naming Convention

• <brand-slug>.<ext> where:
  • <brand-slug> is the lowercase brand name, spaces replaced by hyphens (e.g., miss-a not miss_a)
  • <ext> matches the original file extension (png, webp, jpg, svg)
• Optionally group by context subdirectory (e.g., partners/, customers/) if the project has multiple logo collections

Download Command

mkdir -p <logo-dir>
curl -sL "<logo-url>" -o "<logo-dir>/<brand-slug>.<ext>"

Verify Download

ls -la <logo-dir>/<brand-slug>.<ext>

Step 4: Return Results

Provide the user with:

• Brand name
• Description
• Industry
• Local logo path — the path to use in code (relative to the project's static root)
• Original source URL (for reference only)

Important Rules

1. Always save images locally — never use media.brand.dev URLs directly in production code.
2. Use local paths in code — reference relative to the project's static asset serving root.
3. Prefer square/icon logos for card layouts (they fit better in grid cards).
4. Prefer full/horizontal logos for headers and hero sections.
5. If the brand has no logos in the API response, note this and suggest using a fallback icon.
