Brand Research Skill

Analyze a brand's website to extract brand elements for content creation.

This skill uses 5 specialized agents that analyze different brand dimensions in parallel, then synthesizes into a unified brand profile.

What It Extracts

| Dimension | Elements | Used For | |-----------|----------|----------| | Visual | Colors, typography, logo, imagery style | Image prompts, video style | | Voice | Tone, messaging, taglines, copy style | Voiceover, scripts | | Product | Offerings, features, USPs, pricing | Content focus | | Audience | Demographics, psychographics, pain points | Tone targeting | | Positioning | Market position, competitors, differentiation | Messaging strategy |

Prerequisites

  • Browser access (uses web scraping)
  • No API keys required

Workflow

Step 1: Get the Website URL (REQUIRED)

FIRST, always ask for the website URL. Do not proceed without it.

Say this to the user:

"I'll analyze that brand for you!

What's the website URL? (e.g., https://nike.com)

Optional: Any specific pages to focus on? Any known competitors?"

Wait for the user to provide the URL before proceeding.

If the user just says "analyze Nike's brand", ask:

"I'll analyze Nike for you. Just to confirm - should I use https://nike.com?"

Step 2: Navigate and Capture Website Data

Use browser tools to navigate the website and capture:

1. Homepage - Overall impression, hero messaging, colors
2. About page - Company story, values, team
3. Products/Services page - Offerings, features, pricing
4. Blog/Resources - Voice, content style
5. Footer - Social links, taglines

Capture for each page:

  • Screenshot for visual analysis
  • HTML/CSS for colors and fonts
  • Text content for voice analysis
  • Images for style analysis

Step 3: Run Specialized Agents in Parallel

Deploy 5 agents, each analyzing a different dimension:

Agent 1: Visual Analyst

Focus: Colors, typography, logo, imagery style

Analyze:
- Primary, secondary, accent colors from CSS/design
- Font families for headings and body
- Logo usage and placement
- Photography/illustration style
- Overall visual mood (minimal, bold, playful, etc.)

Agent 2: Voice Analyst

Focus: Tone, messaging, taglines, copy style

Analyze:
- Headlines and how they're written
- Body copy style (formal vs casual)
- CTAs and their tone
- Taglines and slogans
- Emotional appeals used

Agent 3: Product Analyst

Focus: Offerings, features, USPs, pricing

Analyze:
- What products/services they offer
- Key features highlighted
- Unique selling propositions
- Pricing model and tiers
- Value propositions

Agent 4: Audience Analyst

Focus: Demographics, psychographics, pain points

Analyze:
- Who the messaging targets
- Pain points addressed
- Aspirations appealed to
- Language level and jargon
- Testimonials and case studies

Agent 5: Competitive Analyst

Focus: Market position, competitors, differentiation

Analyze:
- Market/industry category
- Implied competitors
- How they differentiate
- Unique market position
- Competitive advantages claimed

Step 4: Synthesize into Brand Profile

Combine all agent outputs into a unified brand_profile.json:

Step 5: Save and Deliver

Save the brand profile:

# Save to current directory
brand_profile.json

# Or to a specific location
/path/to/project/brand_profile.json

Delivery message:

"✅ Brand analysis complete!

Brand Profile saved to: brand_profile.json

Summary:

  • Brand: Acme Corp
  • Colors: Blue (#1E40AF) + Orange (#F59E0B)
  • Voice: Confident, approachable, expert
  • Audience: Technical founders, 25-45
  • Position: Simplicity + Power

Use this profile with:

  • video-producer --brand brand_profile.json
  • podcast-producer --brand brand_profile.json
  • social-producer --brand brand_profile.json

Want me to:

  • Analyze additional pages?
  • Deep dive on any dimension?
  • Create content using this profile?"

Using the Brand Profile with Producers

Once you have a brand_profile.json, reference it when creating content:

Example workflow:

USER: "Create a product video using our brand profile"

PRODUCER:
1. Reads brand_profile.json
2. Uses colors for visual prompts: "Color scheme: blue (#1E40AF) and orange (#F59E0B)"
3. Uses voice for TTS: "Tone: Confident, approachable, professional"
4. Uses music style: "Modern, upbeat, confident"
5. Uses imagery style: "Clean, minimal, professional photography"

RESULT: On-brand video that matches company's existing presence

Manual Brand Profile

If you can't scrape or prefer manual input, create brand_profile.yaml:

brand:
  name: "My Company"
  tagline: "Innovation for everyone"

visual:
  colors:
    primary: "#1E40AF"
    secondary: "#F59E0B"
  typography:
    headings: "Montserrat"
    body: "Open Sans"

voice:
  tone: ["Friendly", "Expert", "Approachable"]
  formality: "Professional casual"

audience:
  primary: "Small business owners, 30-50"
  pain_points: ["Too complex", "Too expensive"]

# ... etc

This skill uses 5 specialized agents defined in agents/:

Limitations

  • Dynamic content: May miss JavaScript-rendered content

  • Access: Some sites may block scraping
  • Currency: Brands evolve; re-analyze periodically
