Brand Guidelines V2

Brand Guidelines

Overview

This public intake copy packages plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills/skills/brand-guidelines from https://github.com/sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills into the native Omni Skills editorial shape without hiding its origin.

Use it when the operator needs the upstream workflow, support files, and repository context to stay intact while the public validator and private enhancer continue their normal downstream flow.

This intake keeps the copied upstream files intact and uses the external_source block in metadata.json plus ORIGIN.md as the provenance anchor for review.

Brand Guidelines Write user-facing copy following Sentry's brand guidelines.

Imported source sections that did not map cleanly to the public headings are still preserved below or in the support files. Notable imported sections: Tone Selection, Plain Speech (Default), Sentry Voice, Anti-Patterns, Limitations.

When to Use This Skill

Use this section as the trigger filter. It should make the activation boundary explicit before the operator loads files, runs commands, or opens a pull request.

• You need to write or rewrite user-facing copy in Sentry's voice.
• The task involves UI text, onboarding, empty states, docs, marketing copy, or other branded content.
• You need guidance on when to use Plain Speech versus Sentry Voice.
• Use when the request clearly matches the imported source intent: Write copy following Sentry brand guidelines. Use when writing UI text, error messages, empty states, onboarding flows, 404 pages, documentation, marketing copy, or any user-facing content. Covers both Plain Speech....
• Use when the operator should preserve upstream workflow detail instead of rewriting the process from scratch.
• Use when provenance needs to stay visible in the answer, PR, or review packet.

Operating Table

Workflow

This workflow is intentionally editorial and operational at the same time. It keeps the imported source useful to the operator while still satisfying the public intake standards that feed the downstream enhancer flow.

1. Confirm the user goal, the scope of the imported workflow, and whether this skill is still the right router for the task.
2. Read the overview and provenance files before loading any copied upstream support files.
3. Load only the references, examples, prompts, or scripts that materially change the outcome for the current request.
4. Execute the upstream workflow while keeping provenance and source boundaries explicit in the working notes.
5. Validate the result against the upstream expectations and the evidence you can point to in the copied files.
6. Escalate or hand off to a related skill when the work moves out of this imported workflow's center of gravity.
7. Before merge or closure, record what was used, what changed, and what the reviewer still needs to verify.

Imported Workflow Notes

Imported: Tone Selection

Choose the appropriate tone based on context:

Default to Plain Speech unless the context specifically calls for personality.

Examples

Example 1: Ask for the upstream workflow directly

Use @brand-guidelines-v2 to handle <task>. Start from the copied upstream workflow, load only the files that change the outcome, and keep provenance visible in the answer.

Explanation: This is the safest starting point when the operator needs the imported workflow, but not the entire repository.

Example 2: Ask for a provenance-grounded review

Review @brand-guidelines-v2 against metadata.json and ORIGIN.md, then explain which copied upstream files you would load first and why.

Explanation: Use this before review or troubleshooting when you need a precise, auditable explanation of origin and file selection.

Example 3: Narrow the copied support files before execution

Use @brand-guidelines-v2 for <task>. Load only the copied references, examples, or scripts that change the outcome, and name the files explicitly before proceeding.

Explanation: This keeps the skill aligned with progressive disclosure instead of loading the whole copied package by default.

Example 4: Build a reviewer packet

Review @brand-guidelines-v2 using the copied upstream files plus provenance, then summarize any gaps before merge.

Explanation: This is useful when the PR is waiting for human review and you want a repeatable audit packet.

Imported Usage Notes

Imported: Dash Usage

In most UI contexts, use hyphens. Reserve en-dashes for date ranges and em-dashes for longer prose.

Best Practices

Treat the generated public skill as a reviewable packaging layer around the upstream repository. The goal is to keep provenance explicit and load only the copied source material that materially improves execution.

• Use American English spelling (color, not colour)
• Use Title Case for headings and page titles
• Use Sentence case for body text, buttons, and labels
• No exclamation marks in UI text (exception: celebratory moments)
• No periods in short UI labels or button text
• Use periods in complete sentences and help text
• No ALL CAPS except for acronyms (API, SDK, URL)

Imported Operating Notes

Imported: General Rules

Spelling and Grammar

• Use American English spelling (color, not colour)
• Use Title Case for headings and page titles
• Use Sentence case for body text, buttons, and labels

Punctuation

• No exclamation marks in UI text (exception: celebratory moments)
• No periods in short UI labels or button text
• Use periods in complete sentences and help text
• No ALL CAPS except for acronyms (API, SDK, URL)

Word Choices

Imported: UI Element Guidelines

Buttons

• Use action verbs: "Save", "Delete", "Create"
• Be specific: "Create Project" not just "Create"
• Max 2-3 words when possible
• No periods or exclamation marks

Error Messages

1. Say what happened
2. Say why (if helpful)
3. Say what to do next

Good: "Could not save changes. Check your connection and try again." Bad: "Error: Save failed."

Empty States

1. Explain what would normally be here
2. Provide a clear action to populate the state
3. Sentry Voice is appropriate here

Good: "No projects yet. Create your first project to start tracking errors."

Confirmation Dialogs

• Make the action clear in the title
• Explain consequences if destructive
• Use specific button labels ("Delete Project", not "OK")

Tooltips and Help Text

• Keep under 2 sentences
• Explain the "why", not just the "what"
• Link to docs for complex topics

Troubleshooting

Problem: The operator skipped the imported context and answered too generically

Symptoms: The result ignores the upstream workflow in plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills/skills/brand-guidelines, fails to mention provenance, or does not use any copied source files at all. Solution: Re-open metadata.json, ORIGIN.md, and the most relevant copied upstream files. Check the external_source block first, then restate the provenance before continuing.

Problem: The imported workflow feels incomplete during review

Symptoms: Reviewers can see the generated SKILL.md, but they cannot quickly tell which references, examples, or scripts matter for the current task. Solution: Point at the exact copied references, examples, scripts, or assets that justify the path you took. If the gap is still real, record it in the PR instead of hiding it.

Problem: The task drifted into a different specialization

Symptoms: The imported skill starts in the right place, but the work turns into debugging, architecture, design, security, or release orchestration that a native skill handles better. Solution: Use the related skills section to hand off deliberately. Keep the imported provenance visible so the next skill inherits the right context instead of starting blind.

Imported Reference Notes

• Sentry Voice Guidelines
• Sentry Frontend Handbook

Imported: Plain Speech (Default)

Plain Speech is clear, direct, and functional. Use it for most UI elements.

Rules

1. Be concise - Use the fewest words needed
2. Be direct - Tell users what to do, not what they can do
3. Use active voice - "Save your changes" not "Your changes will be saved"
4. Avoid jargon - Use simple words users understand
5. Be specific - "3 errors found" not "Some errors found"

Examples

Imported: Sentry Voice

Sentry Voice adds personality in appropriate moments. It's empathetic, self-aware, and occasionally snarky.

Principles

1. Empathetic snark - Direct frustration at the situation, never the user
2. Self-aware - Acknowledge the absurdity of software
3. Fun but functional - Personality should enhance, not obscure meaning
4. Earned moments - Only use when users have time to appreciate it

Examples

404 Pages:

"This page doesn't exist. Maybe it never did. Maybe it was a dream. Either way, let's get you back on track."

Empty States:

"No errors yet. Enjoy this moment of peace while it lasts."

Onboarding:

"Let's get your first error. Don't worry, it's not as scary as it sounds."

Loading States:

"Crunching the numbers..." "Fetching your data..."

When NOT to Use Sentry Voice

• Error messages (users are frustrated)
• Settings pages (users are focused)
• Documentation (users need information)
• Billing/payment flows (users need trust)

Imported: Anti-Patterns

Avoid these common mistakes:

• Robot speak: "Item has been successfully deleted" -> "Deleted"
• Passive voice: "Changes were saved" -> "Changes saved"
• Unnecessary words: "In order to" -> "To"
• Hedging: "This might cause..." -> "This will cause..."
• Double negatives: "Not unlike..." -> "Similar to..."
• Marketing speak in UI: "Supercharge your workflow" -> "Speed up your workflow"

Imported: Limitations

• Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
• Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
• Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
