Brand Identity — Full Brand Identity Design Pipeline
Collaboratively design a brand's strategy, naming, verbal identity, and visual identity through an agent team, all in one pass.
Execution Mode
Agent Team — Five agents communicate directly via SendMessage and cross-validate each other's work.

Workflow
Phase 1: Preparation (Performed Directly by the Orchestrator)
- Extract from user input:
- Business Domain: What product/service?
- Target Customer (optional): Core customer segment
- Competitors (optional): Brands to benchmark
- Brand Direction (optional): Desired image, keywords
- Existing Elements (optional): Already-finalized brand name, colors, etc.
- Create the
_workspace/ directory at the project root
- Organize the input and save it to
_workspace/00_input.md
- If existing files are available, copy them to
_workspace/ and skip the corresponding phase
- Determine the execution mode based on the scope of the request
Phase 2: Team Assembly and Execution

_workspace/04_visual_identity.md |
| 4 |
Identity review |
identity-reviewer |
Tasks 2, 3a, 3b |
_workspace/05_review_report.md |
Tasks 3a (verbal) and 3b (visual) run in parallel. Both depend on Task 2 (naming), so they can start simultaneously once naming is complete.
Inter-agent communication flow:
- brand-strategist completes -> delivers essence, archetype, and competitive analysis to naming-specialist; mission/vision/target to copywriter; archetype and positioning to visual-director
- naming-specialist completes -> delivers TOP 5 names + meanings to copywriter; visual characteristics of names to visual-director
- copywriter <-> visual-director: coordinate tone and manner with visual mood for consistency
- reviewer cross-validates all deliverables. On RED Must Fix findings, sends revision requests to the relevant agent -> rework -> re-validate (up to 2 cycles)
Phase 3: Integration and Final Deliverables
- Verify all files in
_workspace/
- Confirm that all RED Must Fix items from the review report have been addressed
- Report the final summary to the user:
- Brand strategy —
01_brand_strategy.md
- Naming candidates —
02_naming_candidates.md
- Verbal identity —
03_verbal_identity.md
- Visual identity —
04_visual_identity.md
- Review report —
05_review_report.md
Execution Modes by Scope
| User Request Pattern |
Execution Mode |
Agents Deployed |
| "Full brand identity design," "full branding" |
Full Pipeline |
All 5 agents |
| "Just do the naming" |
Naming Mode |
brand-strategist + naming-specialist + identity-reviewer |
| "Create a slogan for this brand name" (existing name) |
Verbal Mode |
copywriter + identity-reviewer |
| "Create visual guidelines" (existing brand) |
Visual Mode |
visual-director + identity-reviewer |
| "Review this brand guideline" |
Review Mode |
identity-reviewer only |
Using Existing Files: If the user provides an existing brand name, guidelines, etc., copy them to _workspace/ and skip the corresponding phase.
Data Transfer Protocol
| Strategy |
Method |
Use Case |
| File-based |
_workspace/ directory |
Store and share major deliverables |
| Message-based |
SendMessage |
Real-time key information delivery, revision requests |
| Task-based |
TaskCreate/TaskUpdate |
Progress tracking, dependency management |
File naming convention: {order_number}_{deliverable}.{extension}
Error Handling
| Error Type |
Strategy |
| Web search failure |
Strategist works from general knowledge; note "Real-time market data not reflected" |
| Domain/trademark verification unavailable |
Mark as "[Verification Needed]"; recommend user verify directly |
| Image generation failure |
Proceed with text concepts + prompts only; user can retry |
| Agent failure |
Retry once -> if still failing, proceed without that deliverable; note the gap in the review report |
| RED found in review |
Send revision request to relevant agent -> rework -> re-validate (up to 2 cycles) |
Test Scenarios
Normal Flow
Prompt: "I want to create an eco-friendly household goods brand. Targeting women aged 20-30, premium positioning. Design the brand identity."
Expected Result:
- Strategy: Eco-friendly market analysis, 3+ competitive benchmarks, persona, archetype (Caregiver/Explorer)
- Naming: 10+ candidates narrowed to TOP 5, domain/trademark review, evaluation matrix
- Verbal: 5+ slogans, tagline, brand story (3 versions), tone and manner guide
- Visual: Color palette (nature tones), typography, 2+ logo concepts, application examples
- Review: Consistency score, alignment matrix, touchpoint simulation
Existing File Flow
Prompt: "The brand name is 'Greenleaf.' Create a slogan and visual guidelines."
Expected Result:
- Record existing name in
_workspace/02_naming_candidates.md
- Merged verbal + visual mode: deploy copywriter + visual-director + identity-reviewer
- brand-strategist builds minimal strategy only; naming-specialist is skipped
Error Flow
Prompt: "Create a brand, any field is fine"
Expected Result:
- Strategist proposes 3 business domains + positioning directions
- Proceed with full pipeline after user selection
- Review report notes "Proceeded based on user selection"

1---2name: brand-identity3description: A full branding pipeline where an agent team collaborates to design brand identity all at once, from naming through slogans, tone and manner, and visual guidelines. Use this skill for 'create a brand,' 'brand identity design,' 'brand naming,' 'create a slogan,' 'brand guidelines,' 'logo concept,' 'tone and manner design,' 'brand strategy,' and all other brand identity tasks. Also supports slogan/visual design when an existing brand name is provided. Note: actual logo file production (.ai, .svg), print mock-ups, and trademark filing are outside this skill's scope.4---56# Brand Identity — Full Brand Identity Design Pipeline78Collaboratively design a brand's strategy, naming, verbal identity, and visual identity through an agent team, all in one pass.910## Execution Mode1112**Agent Team** — Five agents communicate directly via SendMessage and cross-validate each other's work.1314## Agent Roster1516| Agent | File | Role | Type |17|-------|------|------|------|18| brand-strategist | `.claude/agents/brand-strategist.md` | Market analysis, positioning, archetypes | general-purpose |19| naming-specialist | `.claude/agents/naming-specialist.md` | Brand name development, domain/trademark review | general-purpose |20| copywriter | `.claude/agents/copywriter.md` | Slogans, tone and manner, brand story | general-purpose |21| visual-director | `.claude/agents/visual-director.md` | Color, typography, logo concepts | general-purpose |22| identity-reviewer | `.claude/agents/identity-reviewer.md` | Cross-validation, consistency checks | general-purpose |2324## Workflow2526### Phase 1: Preparation (Performed Directly by the Orchestrator)27281.
