Step 0: Load Context

Step 0: 加载上下文

  1. Find and read
    brand-brief.md
  2. Check prerequisites:
    • positioning.status: should be at least "draft"
    • messaging.status: recommended for copy in stylescapes
    • voice.status: recommended for personality alignment
  3. Load references:
    • ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/frameworks/chris-do-stylescapes.md
    • ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/anti-slop/anti-slop-checklist.md
  4. Note business_type, archetype, personality, voice dimensions
  5. Flag confidence level of upstream work
  1. 查找并阅读
    brand-brief.md
  2. 检查前置条件:
    • positioning.status:至少应为“draft”(草稿)状态
    • messaging.status:建议已完成,用于Stylescapes中的文案内容
    • voice.status:建议已完成,用于确保品牌个性对齐
  3. 加载参考资料:
    • ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/frameworks/chris-do-stylescapes.md
    • ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/anti-slop/anti-slop-checklist.md
  4. 记录business_type(业务类型)、archetype(品牌原型)、personality(品牌个性)、voice dimensions(品牌语调维度)
  5. 标记上游工作的置信度

Step 1: Strategic Foundation Check

Step 1: 战略基础检查

Visual identity without strategy produces decoration. Confirm you have:
  • Target audience (from positioning)
  • Brand personality and archetype (from voice)
  • Competitive landscape (from positioning)
  • Voice dimensions (from voice)
If any are missing, state what's missing and how it limits visual work. Offer to proceed with assumptions or route back.
缺乏战略支撑的视觉标识只是装饰。确认你已具备:
  • 目标受众(来自positioning)
  • 品牌个性与原型(来自voice)
  • 竞争格局(来自positioning)
  • 品牌语调维度(来自voice)
若有缺失,说明缺失内容及其对视觉工作的限制。提供基于假设推进或返回补充的选项。

Step 2: Competitor Visual Landscape

Step 2: 竞品视觉格局分析

Before creating directions, understand the visual space:
  • If intelligence.competitors exists in the brief, reference their visual identity
  • If not, do a quick WebSearch for competitors' websites and note their visual patterns
  • Identify the visual "norms" of the category (what everyone does)
  • Identify opportunities to visually differentiate
Present: "Your category tends to look like [description]. Here's where we can zag visually..."
在创建视觉方向前,先了解当前视觉领域现状:
  • 如果brief中存在intelligence.competitors(竞品情报),参考其视觉标识
  • 若没有,通过WebSearch快速查找竞品网站并记录其视觉模式
  • 识别品类中的视觉“常规”(大多数品牌的做法)
  • 找到视觉差异化的机会
呈现内容:“你的品类视觉风格通常为[描述]。我们可以在以下方面打造差异化……”

Step 3: Generate 3 Contrasting Directions

Step 3: 生成3个差异化视觉方向

Based on the strategic foundation and competitive landscape, create 3 genuinely different visual directions. Each must feel like a different brand, not a slight variation.
For each direction, specify:
基于战略基础和竞争格局,创建3个完全不同的视觉方向。每个方向应呈现出截然不同的品牌感,而非细微变体。
每个方向需明确:

Color Palette

色彩调色板

  • Primary color (hex, name, usage context)
  • Secondary color (hex, name, usage context)
  • Accent color (hex, name, usage context)
  • 2-3 neutrals (hex, usage)
  • Rationale: Why these colors, tied to brand strategy and color psychology
  • Anti-slop: "blue because trust" is insufficient. "This specific navy (#1E3A5F) because it contrasts with the bright, playful blues dominating competitor sites while maintaining the authority your enterprise audience expects" passes.
  • 主色调(十六进制代码、名称、使用场景)
  • 辅助色(十六进制代码、名称、使用场景)
  • 强调色(十六进制代码、名称、使用场景)
  • 2-3种中性色(十六进制代码、使用场景)
  • 设计依据:为何选择这些颜色,需结合品牌战略与色彩心理学
  • 反敷衍要求:仅“蓝色代表信任”不够充分。需类似“选用这款特定藏青色(#1E3A5F),因为它与竞品网站普遍使用的明亮活泼蓝色形成对比,同时能满足企业受众对权威性的期待”这样的表述才算合格。

Typography

排版

  • Heading font (family, weight, character)
  • Body font (family, weight, character)
  • Optional: mono/code font if relevant
  • Pairing rationale: Why this combination matches the personality
  • Size hierarchy suggestion (H1-H4, body, small)
  • 标题字体(字体系列、字重、风格特点)
  • 正文字体(字体系列、字重、风格特点)
  • 可选:若相关,添加等宽/代码字体
  • 搭配依据:为何该组合契合品牌个性
  • 字号层级建议(H1-H4、正文、小字)

Imagery Style

图像风格

  • Photography vs illustration vs both
  • Subject matter, composition, lighting
  • Color treatment (full color, muted, duotone, B&W)
  • People: candid vs posed vs absent
  • 摄影vs插画vs两者结合
  • 主题内容、构图、光线
  • 色彩处理(全彩、低饱和度、双色调、黑白)
  • 人物:抓拍vs摆拍vs无人物

UI/Design Element Hints

UI/设计元素提示

  • Button style (rounded, sharp, pill, ghost)
  • Card/container treatment
  • Icon style (outlined, filled, duotone)
  • Whitespace philosophy (dense, balanced, airy)
  • 按钮样式(圆角、直角、胶囊形、幽灵按钮)
  • 卡片/容器处理方式
  • 图标风格(轮廓、填充、双色调)
  • 留白理念(紧凑、均衡、宽松)

Sample Copy (in brand voice)

示例文案(符合品牌语调)

  • A headline and subhead using the brand voice
  • NOT lorem ipsum. Real copy that shows how voice and visual work together.
  • 符合品牌语调的标题和副标题
  • 禁止使用Lorem Ipsum占位文本。需使用真实文案展示语调和视觉的协同效果。

Strategic Narrative

战略叙事

  • "This direction says [X] about your brand"
  • "This appeals most to [audience segment] because..."
  • "This differentiates from [competitors] by..."
  • "The risk of this direction is..."
  • “该方向传递出品牌的[X]特质”
  • “该方向最吸引[受众群体],因为……”
  • “该方向通过[方式]与[竞品]形成差异化”
  • “该方向存在的风险是……”

Step 4: Present Directions

Step 4: 呈现视觉方向

Present all 3 directions clearly, with enough detail for the user to make an informed choice:

Direction 1: [Name]

Personality: [1-2 word character, e.g., "Bold Technical"] Colors: [visual summary] Typography: [heading + body] Imagery: [style summary] Strategic fit: [why this works for the brand] Risk: [what could go wrong]
Ask the user to choose, or combine elements ("I like the colors from 1 but the typography from 3").
清晰呈现所有3个方向,提供足够细节供用户做出明智选择:

方向1:[名称]

个性定位:[1-2个词描述,例如“Bold Technical(硬核科技)”] 色彩:[视觉摘要] 排版:[标题+正文字体组合] 图像:[风格摘要] 战略适配性:[该方向为何适合品牌] 风险:[可能存在的问题]
请用户选择方向,或组合不同元素(例如“我喜欢方向1的色彩,但偏好方向3的排版”)。

Step 5: Refine Chosen Direction

Step 5: 优化选定方向

Once a direction is chosen:
  1. Develop the full color system (expand beyond 3-4 colors to include states, backgrounds, borders)
  2. Finalize typography hierarchy with specific sizes and weights
  3. Create detailed imagery guidelines
  4. Define design token names (for developer handoff)
一旦选定方向:
  1. 完善完整色彩系统(扩展至3-4种颜色之外,包含状态色、背景色、边框色)
  2. 确定包含具体字号和字重的排版层级
  3. 创建详细的图像规范
  4. 定义设计令牌名称(用于对接开发)

Step 6: Anti-Slop Review

Step 6: 反敷衍审查

  1. Swap test on colors: If you replaced the brand name, would these colors still feel right for any brand? They shouldn't.
  2. Differentiation: Do these visuals look distinctly different from the top 3 competitors?
  3. Rationale check: Every visual choice must have a strategic reason, not just aesthetic preference.
  4. Business-type test: Do these visuals match the business context?
  1. 色彩替换测试:如果替换品牌名称,这些颜色是否仍适用于任意品牌?答案应该是否定的。
  2. 差异化检查:这些视觉设计是否与头部3家竞品有明显区别?
  3. 依据验证:每一项视觉选择都必须有战略层面的理由,而非仅出于审美偏好。
  4. 业务适配测试:这些视觉设计是否符合业务场景?

Step 7: Write to Brand Brief

Step 7: 更新品牌 brief

Update
brand-brief.md
:
  • Set all visual fields (directions, chosen_direction, colors, typography, imagery, icons, logo direction)
  • Include rationale for every choice
  • Update visual.status
  • Update stage if needed
  • Update last_updated
  • Append to Decision Log
更新
brand-brief.md
  • 填写所有视觉相关字段(directions、chosen_direction、colors、typography、imagery、icons、logo direction)
  • 为每一项选择添加设计依据
  • 更新visual.status
  • 按需更新阶段
  • 更新last_updated
  • 添加至决策日志

Step 8: Recommend Next Steps

Step 8: 推荐下一步行动

Visual identity status: [status]
Possible next steps:
  • Apply to code: implement these design tokens in your codebase (Tailwind config, CSS variables)
  • brand-landing-page: design a landing page using the full brand system
  • brand-audit: re-run audit to compare new identity against existing assets
  • Figma handoff: if Figma MCP is connected, push the design tokens there
视觉标识状态:[状态]
可选下一步:
  • 代码落地:在代码库中实现这些设计令牌(Tailwind配置、CSS变量)
  • brand-landing-page:运用完整品牌系统设计落地页
  • brand-audit:重新运行审计,对比新标识与现有资产
  • Figma交付:若已连接Figma MCP,将设计令牌推送至Figma
