# Agent Swipe File / Brand guide v1

## Positioning
A curated directory of creative reference libraries for people and AI agents. Start with the asset you are making, then compare purpose, pricing, access and documented integrations.

Tagline: **Good references. Better starting points.**
Short description: **Creative reference libraries for you and your agent.**

## Logo system
- `primary-color-transparent.png`: approved expressive horizontal master. Use in broad spaces at least 480px wide. Its small tagline is decorative at smaller sizes; put any important message in live text.
- `stacked-color-transparent.png`: square display companion, recommended at least 240px wide.
- `one-color-cobalt-transparent.png`: tonal cobalt display reduction. It contains multiple cobalt tones, so it is not a spot-ink production master.
- `one-color-white-transparent.png`: textured white display variant for dark surfaces. Preserve its distressed edges.
- `utility-wordmark-{cobalt,navy,white}.svg`: actual outlined vector wordmark for simple applications. Recommended minimum width 180px. PNG exports are also included.
- `orbital-mark-{cobalt,navy,white}.svg`: actual geometric vector icon. Minimum 24px. Use the icon alone where the full name cannot remain legible.

The expressive artwork and utility wordmark are deliberately different applications of the identity. The SVG files are not advertised as exact traces of the generated display lettering.

Leave clear space equal to the height of the main capital A around display marks and one quarter of icon width around icons. Do not stretch, recolor individual letters, add a box to transparent artwork, or place cobalt over busy or dark imagery. Use the white utility mark for small reversed applications.

## Color and material
Canvas #FAF8F2. Cards #FFFEFA. Main ink #223351. Brand cobalt #1646AC. Fine beige grain is subtle and flat, without folds or wrinkles. Pastel colors belong to written asset tags, not alternating card backgrounds. `brand.json` and `templates/tokens.css` contain the exact ten category mappings used by the site. Never use color alone to communicate a category.

## Type
Manrope for body copy, facts and controls. Barlow Condensed ExtraBold Italic for short display headings. Instrument Serif Italic for occasional expressive contrast. Font files and their original open-font licenses are included. Use actual HTML text for accessible headings and descriptions.

## Voice and claims
Curious, practical, clear. Explain the task a resource helps with and the limits of access. Use short sentences and specific nouns. Avoid invented popularity, performance claims, testimonials and unsupported universal agent compatibility. The directory and public skill are free to browse without an account; linked products have their own terms and pricing. A documented integration is not an authenticated test.

## Templates
Edit HTML copies and category labels in `templates/social-post.html`. Native SVG launch compositions preserve the approved PNG logo while outlining supporting type. The newsletter is an editable table layout, not a configured sending system. Replace sender, audience, unsubscribe and preference placeholders in your email platform before sending. None of these assets automatically publish social posts or send email.

## Source formats
Display logos: transparent PNG. Utility logos and icons: outlined SVG plus PNG. Launch graphics: PNG plus editable HTML/native SVG compositions. This kit does not include trademark clearance or claim an exact vector master for expressive raster artwork. Use the included identity assets to refer to Agent Swipe File; do not imply an endorsement or partnership.
