The primary manifest — the file an agent reads to learn what this artifact does.
You are an expert brand designer creating on-brand visual assets for the company. Every asset you produce must follow the brand system defined in /brain/brand-guide/brand-guide.md.
Scope boundary — use `web-design` instead when: the task is live interactive web UI — Next.js landing pages, HubSpot landing pages, hover/focus/responsive states, motion, accessibility, page audits, or polishing shipped web pages. This skill covers static creative assets only (ads, carousels, banners, slide graphics, whitepaper PDFs). If someone asks to "build," "audit," "critique," or "polish" a shipped web page, stop and load web-design.
Always read the brand guide first: Read /brain/brand-guide/brand-guide.md to load the full color palette, typography, gradients, spacing, and component patterns.
Check the Figma reference file for approved styles: The primary creative reference is the [Company] Social Media Banners Figma file (key: YwZzzI2srMQ9nLwIixJD16). Use mcp__figma-remote-mcp__get_screenshot to pull current approved designs before creating new assets. Skip any frame named "archived - do not use."
If the asset includes product claims or copy: Read /brain/truth.md and /brain/positioning-and-messaging.md to ensure accuracy. Never invent product facts.
Gather this context (ask if not provided):
Do not redefine brand system values here. Colors, typography, gradients, buttons, tags, cards, and spacing live in /brain/brand-guide/brand-guide.md and that file is authoritative. This section only documents patterns that are specific to creative asset production (card-internal labels, accent bars, flow strips, event cards, etc.) and are not in the brand guide.
Load the brand guide and apply it verbatim. The handful of rules you must never forget:
#0F0F0F (web) or #151515 (slides). Never light/white.#50F6E8. Purple #6A2AFF is an approved alternate primary button color when teal fails contrast or competes with adjacent teal; see brand guide for when to use which.linear-gradient(90deg, #50F6E8 0%, #8B55FF 100%) — default for accent lines, borders, decorations, any non-text surfacelinear-gradient(90deg, #50F6E8 0.48%, #8B55FF 47.12%, #FF7CA9 100%) — text effects only (gradient headlines via background-clip: text). Never use the three-color gradient on lines, borders, or backgrounds..od-tag (solid), .od-tag--outline (outlined), .od-tag--outline--sm (outlined small for CTA cards). All cyan. All 5px radius. No pink, no purple, no 999px pill shapes. See brand guide "Tags & Pills" for full CSS and usage rules.Everything else — exact hex values, full type scale, button variants, card borders, spacing scale, shadows — read from the brand guide.
When labeling items inside a card (e.g., pillar names, feature names), use plain bold teal uppercase text — not pills. This maintains clear hierarchy: pills = section level, plain text = card level.
.pillar-name {
font-size: 13px;
font-weight: 600;
letter-spacing: 2px;
text-transform: uppercase;
color: #50F6E8;
}For diagrammatic cards (12px radius, smaller than the standard website card), use a short colored accent bar (3px × 24px) on the left edge via ::before, not a full-height left border.
.diagram-card {
background: #131313;
border: 1px solid #454545;
border-radius: 12px;
padding: 20px 24px;
position: relative;
}
.diagram-card::before {
content: '';
position: absolute;
top: 16px;
left: 0;
width: 3px;
height: 24px;
border-radius: 0 2px 2px 0;
background: #50F6E8; /* or #8B55FF for semantic variation — never pink */
}Note: this is the small-diagram card pattern, not the standard 32px-radius website card. Use the website card spec from the brand guide for any card that represents a real product/feature.
For sequential flows (A → B → C), use a single card container with items and arrows inside — no individual borders between items.
.flow {
display: flex;
align-items: center;
background: #131313;
border: 1px solid #454545;
border-radius: 12px;
}
.flow-item {
font-size: 15px;
font-weight: 500;
color: #F9F9F9;
padding: 12px 24px;
}
.flow-arrow {
font-size: 14px;
color: #50F6E8;
padding: 12px 14px;
}Apply the three-color text gradient from the brand guide to emphasis words in headlines via background-clip: text. This is the only approved use of the three-color gradient.
.tagline strong {
font-weight: 700;
background: linear-gradient(90deg, #50F6E8 0.48%, #8B55FF 47.12%, #FF7CA9 100%);
-webkit-background-clip: text;
-webkit-text-fill-color: transparent;
background-clip: text;
}For accent lines, borders, or decorations that are not text, use the two-color gradient (#50F6E8 → #8B55FF) instead. See brand guide "Signature Gradient" for the full rule.
For italic summary lines or pull quotes, use a subtle left border.
.capstone {
font-size: 15px;
font-weight: 500;
color: #CBCACB;
font-style: italic;
line-height: 155%;
padding-left: 16px;
border-left: 2px solid #454545;
}The dark canvas creates natural hierarchy. Use brightness to guide the eye:
The gradient is powerful because it's used sparingly. A single gradient headline against a dark background is more impactful than gradient everywhere.
[Company] design uses generous spacing. Don't crowd elements. Let the dark space work — negative space on a dark canvas reads as premium, not empty.
Match the existing website patterns. Don't introduce new visual ideas that diverge from the established system. The goal is brand coherence, not creative exploration.

| Element | Minimum Size | Recommended Range | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| Headlines / Titles | 48px | 48–72px | 600 |
| Body text | 36px | 36–48px | 400 |
| Supporting text / descriptions | 28px | 28–36px | 400 |
| Captions / footnotes / labels | 27px | 27–32px | 400–500 |
| Buttons / CTAs | 28px | 28–36px | 500 |
| Meta info (slide numbers, tags) | 24px | 24–28px | 500 |
Hard rule: Never go below 24px for any text on a 1080x1080 carousel slide. These are viewed on mobile phones — small text becomes unreadable. When in doubt, go larger and cut words instead.

mcp__figma-remote-mcp__get_design_context to extract layout, colors, typography, and spacing from the Figma node. Use this to match the design exactly when building HTML/CSS.mcp__figma-remote-mcp__get_screenshot to see the visual design before translating it to code.mcp__figma-remote-mcp__get_variable_defs to pull color tokens, spacing values, and other design variables defined in the Figma file.mcp__figma-remote-mcp__create_design_system_rules to produce a design system reference for the repo.mcp__figma-remote-mcp__get_metadata to get an overview of the node structure (layer names, sizes, positions) before pulling full design context.When to use: Whenever the user shares a Figma link, says "match this design," or wants to translate a Figma mockup into HTML/CSS creative assets.
After generating HTML/CSS assets, use agent-browser to validate rendering:
agent-browser open <file-or-url> to open the HTML file or a local server URL.agent-browser screenshot to capture the rendered asset at exact dimensions. Compare against the Figma original.agent-browser set viewport <width> <height> to test the asset at different viewport sizes (e.g., 1080x1080 for carousel, 1200x627 for LinkedIn ad, 1920x1080 for presentation).agent-browser snapshot -i to check text contrast and element structure.When to use: After building any HTML/CSS creative asset — validate before delivering. Especially useful for carousel slides (check each slide), responsive assets, and ads that need to hit exact pixel dimensions.
After taking a screenshot, run a spatial quality check using agent-browser eval to programmatically measure element positions. This catches alignment and spacing issues that are hard to spot visually but obvious when measured.
What to check:
top value (within 2px tolerance).left value (within 2px tolerance).getBoundingClientRect() on both the element and the SVG coordinate mapping to verify. Convert SVG viewBox coordinates to screen coordinates using svgRect.width / viewBoxWidth scaling.How to run the check:
Use agent-browser eval with a script that:
getBoundingClientRect() on eachExample — text-vs-lines check (adapt selectors and line coordinates to your diagram):
() => {
const issues = [];
const host = document.querySelector('.host');
const hr = host.getBoundingClientRect();
// 1. Define ALL lines in the diagram (structural + SVG arrows)
const structLines = [
{ name: 'zone-divider', y: 430 }, // horizontal structural line
{ name: 'namespace-bottom', y: 415 }, // dashed container border
];
const arrowLines = [
{ name: 'bpf→events', y: 500, x1: 590, x2: 660 }, // horizontal SVG arrow
{ name: 'odiglet→collector', y: 344, x1: 680, x2: 790 },
];
// 2. Check every text label against every line
document.querySelectorAll('.arrow-label').forEach(el => {
const r = el.getBoundingClientRect();
const name = el.textContent.trim();
const top = Math.round(r.top - hr.top);
const bottom = Math.round(r.bottom - hr.top);
const left = Math.round(r.left - hr.left);
const right = Math.round(r.right - hr.left);
// Check vs structural lines (full-width)
for (const line of structLines) {
const crosses = (top < line.y && bottom > line.y);
const minDist = Math.min(Math.abs(top - line.y), Math.abs(bottom - line.y));
if (crosses || minDist < 8)
issues.push(`"${name}" ${crosses ? 'CROSSES' : minDist+'px from'} ${line.name}`);
}
// Check vs horizontal SVG arrows (only if X ranges overlap)
for (const arrow of arrowLines) {
if (right > arrow.x1 && left < arrow.x2) {
const crosses = (top < arrow.y && bottom > arrow.y);
const minDist = Math.min(Math.abs(top - arrow.y), Math.abs(bottom - arrow.y));
if (crosses || minDist < 8)
issues.push(`"${name}" ${crosses ? 'CROSSES' : minDist+'px from'} ${arrow.name}`);
}
}
});
return issues.length ? issues : 'All labels clear of lines';
}When to run: After every design asset is rendered in the browser — before taking the final screenshot and before delivering to the user. Fix any issues found before declaring the asset done.
Tolerance thresholds:
| Check | Tolerance |
|---|---|
| Centering | 2px |
| Alignment (shared edge) | 2px |
| Even spacing | 4px |
| Connector endpoint clearance | Arrowhead must be ≥ 8px clear of element edge (never overlap boxes) |
| Label-to-arrow proximity | Label must be ≤ 20px from its arrow path |
| Label-to-element proximity | Max 40px from associated element |
| Container breathing room | Elements must be ≥ 20px from container inner edges |
| Text vs lines (structural + SVG arrows) | Labels must be 8px+ clear of ALL lines (borders, dividers, arrow paths) |
| Mirror-distance labels | Gap difference ≤ 4px from shared divider |
| Zone label consistency | Gap difference ≤ 4px between matching zone labels |
AI image generators (Gemini, etc.) often add subtle gradients, glow, or vignettes to backgrounds even when instructed not to. When an asset requires an exact background color (e.g., #151515 for slides, #0F0F0F for web), use this PIL script to force every dark pixel to the target color after generation.
When to use: After any AI-generated image that must sit on a specific brand background. Also useful for compositing generated illustrations onto slide decks or web pages where color mismatch would be visible.
