Apply pre-composed aesthetic archetype defaults to jumpstart brand design work covering color, typography, layout, voice, and imagery direction. Use this skill whenever the user wants a starting point for brand visual and verbal direction, references a brand they want to design near (for example 'something like Stripe' or 'editorial like Linear'), needs to converge faster from many directions to one, or wants known-good defaults for a specific industry vertical. Triggers on archetype, design archetype, brand archetype, near to (brand), in the style of, similar aesthetic, design starting point, brand template, vertical-typical, industry-typical. Also triggers when the user has a brief and wants to map it to a known aesthetic family rather than design from first principles.

# Brand Archetype System

Pre-composed aesthetic archetype defaults that jumpstart brand design work. Each archetype bundles color tendencies, type pairings, layout patterns, voice samples, and imagery direction for a recognizable aesthetic family. Stack-agnostic. Tool-agnostic.

This is a starting-point library, not a methodology library. The agent applies archetype defaults to a specific brief; the archetypes themselves provide anchor points, not endpoints.

## When to use

- The user wants a starting point rather than designing from first principles
- The user references a brand or aesthetic family they want to design near
- Need to converge faster from many directions to one
- The user wants vertical-typical defaults (for example fintech consumer, B2B developer tools)
