Overview

This skill applies Anthropic's official brand colors and typography to artifacts that benefit from a consistent corporate look-and-feel. It maps headings and body text to Poppins and Lora (with Arial/Georgia fallbacks) and enforces palette rules for backgrounds, text, and accents. Use it to ensure visual consistency across presentations, documents, and UI mockups.

How this skill works

The skill inspects text hierarchy and element types, then assigns fonts and colors according to the brand rules. Headings 24pt and larger get Poppins (or Arial fallback); body text gets Lora (or Georgia fallback). It assigns primary, secondary, and accent colors to backgrounds, text, and shapes, cycling through orange, blue, and green for non-text accents.

When to use it

  • Creating or restyling presentations that must match Anthropic visual identity
  • Generating design artifacts, mockups, or exportable slides for internal or partner use
  • Post-processing automatically generated documents to meet brand standards
  • Applying consistent typography and color across reports, docs, or UI screenshots
  • Preparing marketing or investor materials that require corporate styling

Best practices

  • Pre-install Poppins and Lora in the working environment for exact font matches
  • Use headings >=24pt to ensure correct Poppins application and hierarchy
  • Prefer light backgrounds with Dark (#141413) text for readability, or Light (#faf9f5) text on dark backgrounds
  • Reserve accent colors (orange #d97757, blue #6a9bcc, green #788c5d) for shapes and highlights, not primary body text
  • Validate color contrast for accessibility when combining text and background colors

Example use cases

  • Convert a raw slide deck into an Anthropic-branded presentation with correct fonts and palette
  • Apply brand styling to exported HTML or PDF reports generated by data pipelines
  • Style UI mockups and screenshots so they reflect company color accents and typography
  • Post-process autogenerated marketing copy into brand-compliant documents
  • Standardize internal templates (one-pagers, pitch decks) to reduce manual formatting work

FAQ

What happens if Poppins or Lora aren't installed?

The skill automatically falls back to Arial for headings and Georgia for body text to preserve layout and readability.

Can I change the accent color cycle?

Yes — the accent cycle defaults to orange, blue, then green, but you can configure the order or limit accents per artifact.
