How to Build a Brand Style-Guide One-Pager from Pasted Tokens
Style guides invent secondary hex and Inter. Colors were three pasted values. Clear-space math was NOT IN INPUTS.
The matching generator is the Brand Style-Guide One-Pager from Pasted Tokens (No Invented Hex) prompt. Browse related cards in the PromptDig library (Browse more prompts). When a filled run survives, share the version you actually use (Share a prompt).
Quote every hex before swatches
Build a brand style-guide one-pager from pasted design tokens only. No invented hex codes or fonts. Start by filling Inputs, not by asking the model to remember last week's run. If a field is blank, write NONE or NOT IN INPUTS and leave it blank through Generate. The card is built so the model cannot honestly invent a number, owner, URL, or command that you did not paste.
Paste these fields before you hit run:
Brand name: [Brand]
Color tokens with hex: [Colors]
Type tokens: [Type]
Logo rules I may state: [Logo]
Voice adjectives I allow: [Voice]
Words I must not use: [Banned]
What I must never invent: [Never]
Do-not list: [Dont]
Output format: [Format]
Audience for the one-pager: [Audience]
That inventory is the honesty ledger. Anything that does not appear there is forbidden in the draft. If you catch yourself adding a nice-to-have after the run, you are no longer using the card. You are ghostwriting. Put the extra fact in Inputs and run again.
Type only from Type tokens
Generate is numbered on purpose. Do not skip a step because the first paragraph looked done. The early steps exist to stop later prose from smuggling claims.
Walk the Generate list in order:
- Honesty ledger: Brand, Colors, Type, Logo, Voice, Dont, Audience. Forbidden: hex/fonts not pasted.
- Color section quoting only Colors hex.
- Type section quoting only Type.
- Logo section only Logo rules; if empty write logo rules NOT IN INPUTS.
- Voice and Dont.
- One-pager layout description without inventing measurements.
- Gaps list for missing tokens.
- Compliance pass: cut Banned and Never. Format as Format.
If a step asks for a version lock, quote the version from Inputs in the output. If a step asks for a refuse list, keep the refuse list in the published artifact, not in a sidebar you delete. Reviewers should see what the model was not allowed to do.
Logo rules without invented clear space
Most failures are the same shape: a missing field gets a confident fill. A conversion rate appears. A Gradle task appears. A flash point appears. A caption appears on a job that asked for slide text only. Your review is to search the draft for numbers, names, and commands, then grep Inputs. No match means cut.
Honor the constraints as hard stops, not vibes:
- One-pager from pasted tokens. Not a logo redesign.
- Never invent hex codes or font families.
- If Logo is empty, do not invent clear space.
- No emojis.
When the card says not legal advice, not certification, not an exam dump, or not a caption engine, that sentence belongs at the top of the output. Deleting it to look more finished is how you inherit risk.
Voice and Dont stay short
Finish with the compliance pass the prompt already asks for. Quote the banned-word hits. Cut them. Print character counts when the job has a cap. Print word counts when the job has a budget. List gaps as gaps. Five missing facts are more useful than one smooth paragraph.
Tags on the card (brand style guide one-pager, design tokens style guide, no invented hex) are a reminder of the job shape, not an invitation to wander into a neighboring cluster. If you need a different surface, open a different PromptDig card rather than stretching this one.
Fill the card, then run
Replace every bracket. Run on ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini. Read the ledger first, then the artifact. If the model invents a commit, KPI, DOI, PEL, bid, or logo, discard the run. Tighten Inputs. Run again. Share the filled card that survived, not the first draft that sounded done.
