Brand Onboarding
Researches a client's website and Instagram, sends a pre-filled intake doc, and synthesises everything into context/brand-style.md as the single source of truth for social work.

What it does
- Evidence capture (Phase 1): uses Playwright to screenshot the client's homepage and Instagram profile into
assets/, then documents everything verifiable — name, handle, tagline, bio, product range, customer language, dominant colours, type style — with the source cited and guesses flagged "(estimated)". - Pre-filled client doc (Phase 2): writes
[Client-Name]-Brand-Onboarding.mdthat shows confirmed facts for correction and only asks the true gaps: ICP, hero products, differentiators, social goals, signature post format, and 3–5 real captions. - Asset intake (Phase 3): files logo, original high-res product shots, lifestyle imagery, example posts, hex codes and font names into a defined folder structure; a Canva Brand Kit shortcuts the interview.
- Final deliverable (Phase 4–5): produces
context/brand-style.mdwith brand overview, audience, goals, colour palette table, typography, signature format, content pillars, photography style, do/don'ts, format specs, tone of voice and sample captions, then runs a review pass with the operator.
Who it's for
- Social media agencies and freelancers onboarding multiple client brands
- Marketers tired of re-explaining brand tone and colours to AI on every task
- In-house teams that want one canonical brand doc feeding all content tooling
Example uses
- New food brand signs on: run the skill, capture site + Instagram, and send a doc where most facts are already filled in so the client only fills genuine gaps.
- Client supplies brand guidelines: the skill treats them as the primary source and compresses the questionnaire to gap-fillers before writing the style guide.
- With
context/brand-style.mdin place, run/social-creative-designer,/content-calendar, and/caption-writerfor visuals and captions that match the existing feed.

Install in Claude Code
Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code
Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart. Copy the skills/brand-onboarding folder from the GitHub repo stevenflanagan1/social-ai-team into my ~/.claude/skills/brand-onboarding/. When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.
Install with a command instead
git clone https://github.com/stevenflanagan1/social-ai-team.git /tmp/social-ai-team && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r /tmp/social-ai-team/skills/brand-onboarding ~/.claude/skills/⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.
- Open a terminal (Terminal on macOS, PowerShell or WSL on Windows).
- Clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/stevenflanagan1/social-ai-team.git - Create the skills directory:
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills - Copy the skill:
cp -r social-ai-team/skills/brand-onboarding ~/.claude/skills/— also copy/social-creative-designer,/content-calendar, and/caption-writerif you want the full workflow. - Connect a browser automation tool (e.g. the Playwright MCP server) to Claude Code so the evidence-capture phase can take screenshots. If that isn't available, drop your own screenshots into
assets/manually. - Start Claude Code inside the client's project folder and ask: "Use the brand-onboarding skill for this client — website is …, Instagram is @…".
- Verify that
context/brand-style.mdand the client-facing onboarding doc were created, then send the doc to the client for completion.
