What’s inside

One SKILL.md (the playbook) + one starter template. A preview:

Continuity Asset Set

When to use

• A project has five contributors and the outputs are starting to drift into five different styles
• You're handing a brand to a new designer or writer and need them to match the existing look on day one
• Your decks, docs, and social posts for one project look like they came from three different companies
• You're starting a multi-month project and want consistency locked in before the second deliverable
• A client keeps saying "this doesn't feel like us" but can't explain what's off
• You need to audit an existing project and find exactly where the visual and verbal drift happened

Workflow

1. Collect the existing assets (input: current deliverables → output: asset inventory)
   Gather everything already made for the project: pages, decks, posts, docs, logos, photos, illustrations. List what each one actually uses — colours sampled from the files (not from memory), typefaces, image treatments, logo variants, recurring phrases. The inventory is evidence, not aspiration: if the real files use four greys, the inventory says four greys, even if the brand guide says two.
2. Distil the tokens (input: asset inventory → output: design token sheet)
   Reduce the inventory to a small locked set: 2–3 primary colours with hex values, 1–2 neutrals, 1 accent, 2 typefaces (headings + body) with sizes and weights, spacing unit, corner radius, and image treatment (e.g. "monochrome, high contrast, no colour photos"). Anything not on the token sheet is out. If two near-identical colours both appear, pick one and retire the other — near-duplicates are how drift starts.
3. Lock the voice rules (input: existing copy → output: voice sheet)
   Write the verbal half of continuity: tone (e.g. "plain, direct, no hype"), banned words and phrases, preferred terms (e.g. always "sign up", never "register"), sentence-length guidance, and how numbers, dates, and CTAs are formatted. Pull examples from the project's own best copy — a rule illustrated with a real sentence from the project beats an abstract adjective every time.
4. Build the reusable templates (input: tokens + voice → output: template pack)
   Create one template per recurring deliverable type: page header, slide layout, social card, doc cover, email header. Each template bakes in the tokens — fonts, colours, spacing, logo placement — so a contributor following the template cannot accidentally drift. A template with a blank where the headline goes is useful; a template that requires restyling before use is not.
