Brand DNA in structures agents load, not loose PDFs. Each export is diffable, scoped, and built to drop into repos, IDEs, and model system prompts.
Repo-local instructions for Claude and other LLM agents: voice, visual constraints, and do/don't rules shaped from your mythos.
Example
## VoiceClear, confident; evidence over hype.## VisualPrimary #9C4221 - hero CTAs only.Display: Instrument Serif; body: DM Sans.## RulesDO: short paragraphs, numbered steps.DON'T: ALL CAPS emphasis or vague claims.Cursor-native constraints: naming, tokens, and voice. Completions and refactors stay on-brand without opening a separate doc.
Example
# Cursor - Acmevoice: see CLAUDE.mdcomponents: PascalCase in src/components/colors: var(--color-*) only, never raw hexspacing: --space-2 | --space-4 | --space-8a11y: landmark tags, focus rings on interactivesGovernance for autonomous agents: scope, safety rails, and brand voice rules. Reviewable in git like any other policy file.
Example
## ScopeAgents may: suggest tests, document APIs.Agents must NOT: change secrets or CI config.## BrandAll user-facing copy follows CLAUDE.md voice.## EscalationStop if token or voice rules conflict with a ticket.Custom properties your design system and codegen share. Color roles, type stacks, and spacing so AI-written UI doesn't invent one-off values.
Example
:root { --color-primary: #9c4221; --color-accent: #d97706; --color-surface: #fffbf5; --font-display: "Instrument Serif", serif; --font-body: "DM Sans", sans-serif; --radius: 4px;}Portable instructions for ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, and other chat surfaces. Same mythos, tuned for conversational length limits.
Example
You write as Acme: direct, warm, never breathless.Use #9C4221 only for primary CTAs.Before shipping copy, check claims against approved proof points.If unsure, ask for a human review - do not guess.Structured entities and relationships. Queryable facts for RAG, agents, and internal tools without re-parsing prose each time.
Example
{ "@type": "Brand", "name": "Acme", "slogan": "Ship with confidence.", "knowsAbout": ["B2B SaaS", "compliance"], "sameAs": ["https://acme.com"]}A hosted, semantic HTML reference: logo usage, palette roles, type, and voice. Share one URL instead of emailing versioned PDFs.
Example
<article class="bm-voice"> <h1>Voice</h1> <p>Direct, proof-first. No filler.</p></article><section id="colors"> <h2>Primary</h2> <p>#9C4221 - CTAs and key actions only.</p></section>Ingest once; generate CLAUDE.md, Cursor rules, tokens, prompts, graphs, and the HTML guide from the same structured source.
