The brandkit skill is very helpful when creating a brand kit from zero, but it currently seems to assume there are no existing brand assets or brand direction. It generates a complete brand kit without first checking whether the user already has a logo, color palette, typography, or brand references.
Why this is a problem
That workflow is great for new brands, but it becomes a mismatch when someone already has an existing identity and only wants the skill to build from what already exists. In those cases, the output can feel generic or disconnected from the actual brand.
Suggested improvement
Before generating the brand kit, the skill should first ask a short set of intake questions such as:
Do you already have a logo?
Do you already have brand colors?
Do you have existing typography or fonts?
Do you have a visual direction or mood reference?
Is this a brand kit from scratch or an extension of an existing brand?
Based on the answer:
If the brand is starting from zero, continue with the current full brand-kit generation flow.
If the brand already exists, adapt the output to the existing assets and direction instead of inventing everything from scratch.
Expected behavior
The skill should support two modes:
Create from scratch — when no assets or direction exist.
Build on existing brand — when logos, colors, or brand references are already available.
Benefit
This would make the skill more flexible and accurate for real-world branding workflows, where many users already have some brand foundation and only need the kit standardized or expanded.
Optional enhancement
The skill could also ask users whether they want:
a brand kit from scratch,
a refresh of an existing brand,
or a brand kit based on partial inputs.
Example wording
“Before I create the brand kit, do you already have any existing brand assets such as a logo, color palette, typography, or visual direction? If yes, I’ll build around them. If not, I’ll create the brand kit from scratch.”
