brand-illustrate

Announce at start: "I'm using the humane:brand-illustrate skill to generate an on-brand illustration set from existing tokens."

Ring-2 humane skill. It reads the on-brand contract a design-tokens set already carries (palette with roles, fonts, shape, and the $extensions brand block) and walks the user through a short questionnaire — JTBD-style, one step at a time — to scaffold prompts that stay on-brand and generate a set that reads as one family.

Generators live outside the plugin. This skill is a thin adapter: it composes the prompt and shells out to whichever backend is installed. It never bundles a generator, an API client, or your keys.

No backend is not a dead end. The prompts are what this skill actually produces — assembled from the palette, the brand block, and the merged de-slop negatives — and they are the same whether or not an API call follows. With no generator present, a run writes prompts.md with every final prompt at its target size, plus metadata.json and the recipe. Paste them into any image tool, or install a backend and resume with run --recipe.
