Remotion Brand Research

Researches a portfolio company's visual identity from public sources (homepage, about page, marketing copy, GitHub README) and produces a structured BrandResearch dossier. Triggered when `Synthex/packages/brand-config/src/brands/{slug}.ts` (canonical home per RA-1985 / Synthex SYN-897) is missing, older than 90 days, or the user explicitly says "refresh brand for {brand}". Output feeds remotion-brand-codify.

File contents

remotion-brand-research

Discovery skill that builds a structured picture of a brand before any rendering happens.

Triggers

remotion-orchestrator flags brands/{slug}.ts as missing or mtime < now - 90 days.
User says "refresh the {brand} brand", "redo brand research for {brand}", or pastes a new brand guidelines URL.

Inputs

brandSlug — one of dr | nrpg | ra | carsi | ccw
Optional: list of source URLs (homepage, brand book PDF, style guide page)
Optional: existing brands/{slug}.ts for delta detection

Method

Fetch the company's homepage and 2-3 deep pages (about, services, contact). Extract:
- Visual: dominant hex colours sampled from the hero region; logos linked from <header> and <img alt=...logo>; web fonts from <link href=fonts...> or font-family declarations.
- Verbal: headline phrases, taglines, repeated CTAs, prohibited claims (e.g. "cheapest", "guaranteed").
- Audience: who the page addresses (B2B vs B2C, regional, role-specific).
Read the company's GitHub repo README.md and package.json if present — sometimes the design tokens leak there.
Cross-reference with Pi-Dev-Ops/.harness/business-charters/{slug}-charter.md and Pi-SEO/business-charters/projects/{slug}-charter.md for mission/voice cues.

Output

Markdown dossier at remotion-studio/.research/brand-{slug}-{YYYY-MM-DD}.md:

# Brand research: {displayName} ({slug})
Date: 2026-04-28
Sources: [url1, url2, ...]

## Visual
- Primary colours (sampled): #..., #..., #...
- Logos found: [...]
- Web fonts: [...]

## Verbal
- Tagline candidates: [...]
- Tone descriptors: [...]
- Forbidden words: [...]

## Audience
- Primary: ...
- Secondary: ...

## Channel signals
- Active on: LinkedIn / YouTube / Instagram (frequency, last post)

## Risks / open questions
- ...

And a structured JSON sibling at .research/brand-{slug}-{YYYY-MM-DD}.json matching a partial BrandConfig.

Boundaries

Never scrape sites that block bots via robots.txt (skip + note in dossier).
Never invent hex codes — if sampling fails, leave field null and note "needs founder input".
Never source brand voice from competitor sites — only the brand itself.

Hands off to

remotion-brand-codify reads this dossier and produces src/brands/{slug}.ts.
