Codex interaction mode notice (ADD)

This skill depends on structured question/answer turns. Behavior depends on Codex's current mode:

Plan mode: call the ask_user_question tool for each prompt below. One question per call. Wait for the user's answer before moving on.

Default mode (no ask_user_question available): emit the questions inline as a numbered list, then halt and wait for the user's next prompt. Do not improvise, infer, or fabricate answers — this skill fails closed if required input is missing. Resume only after the user replies.

The skill body below defines what to ask; the shim only governs how to ask.

ADD Brand Update Command v0.11.0

Update the project's branding configuration with new materials and audit existing generated artifacts for brand consistency. Optionally apply fixes to bring artifacts in line with the new brand.

Pre-Flight

Check if .add/config.json exists. If not, tell the user to run /add-init first.
Read .add/config.json and extract the current branding section.
Read ~/.codex/add/templates/presets.json for available presets and palette generation algorithm.

Arguments

The user provided: $ARGUMENTS

If arguments contain specific values (hex color, preset name, etc.), use them directly instead of asking.

Phase 1: Collect New Branding

Step 1.1: Determine Update Scope

Use ask the user (use a clear, single-question prompt):

Question: "What would you like to update?"
Options:
  - "Accent color only"
  - "Full brand refresh (color, fonts, tone, logo)"
  - "Apply a color preset"

Step 1.2a: Accent Color Only

Use ask the user (use a clear, single-question prompt):

Question: "Choose a new accent color:"
Options:
  - "Raspberry (#b00149) — bold and warm"
  - "AI Purple (#6366f1) — classic tech"
  - "Ocean (#0891b2) — professional and calm"
  - "Custom hex color"

If "Custom hex color": Ask for the hex value. Validate it's a valid 3 or 6 character hex color (with or without #).

Generate the full palette from the selected color using the algorithm in ~/.codex/add/templates/presets.json:

Parse hex to RGB, convert to HSL
Generate all palette values (accentLight, accentDark, accentMuted, accentGlow, gradientStart, gradientMid, gradientEnd)
Keep fixed colors (success: #22c55e, warning: #eab308, info: #0ea5e9)

Step 1.2b: Full Brand Refresh

Ask each in sequence:

Color: Same as Step 1.2a above.

Fonts: "Do you have font preferences?" Use ask the user (use a clear, single-question prompt):

"Use system defaults (Recommended)"
"Let me specify fonts"

If specifying: Ask for heading font, body font, code font. Store in branding.fonts.

Tone: "Describe your brand's tone/voice in a few words (e.g., 'professional but approachable', 'bold and confident', 'technical and precise')." (Default: null — no tone constraint)

Logo: "Path to your project logo file? (Leave empty to skip)" (Default: null)

Style Guide: "URL or file path to your style guide? (Leave empty to skip)" (Default: null)

Step 1.2c: Apply a Color Preset

List presets from ~/.codex/add/templates/presets.json:

Use ask the user (use a clear, single-question prompt):

Question: "Choose a color preset:"
Options:
  - "Raspberry (#b00149) — bold and warm"
  - "AI Purple (#6366f1) — classic tech"
  - "Ocean (#0891b2) — professional and calm"
  - "Forest (#059669) — rich emerald green"

(If more than 4 presets, show the top 4 most popular. User can type "Other" for Sunset or Midnight.)

Load the full palette from the preset. Set presetName to the chosen preset.

Phase 2: Update Configuration

Step 2.1: Write Updated Config

Update .add/config.json branding section with the new values:

"branding": {
  "accentColor": "{NEW_ACCENT}",
  "presetName": "{PRESET_NAME_OR_NULL}",
  "palette": {
    "accent": "{NEW_ACCENT}",
    "accentLight": "{GENERATED}",
    "accentDark": "{GENERATED}",
    "accentMuted": "{GENERATED}",
    "accentGlow": "{GENERATED}",
    "gradientStart": "{GENERATED}",
    "gradientMid": "{GENERATED}",
    "gradientEnd": "{GENERATED}",
    "success": "#22c55e",
    "warning": "#eab308",
    "info": "#0ea5e9"
  },
  "fonts": {"heading": "{OR_NULL}", "body": "{OR_NULL}", "code": "{OR_NULL}"},
  "tone": "{OR_NULL}",
  "logoPath": "{OR_NULL}",
  "styleGuideSource": "{OR_NULL}"
}

Use the Edit tool to update the branding section in .add/config.json. Preserve all other config sections.

Step 2.2: Confirm Update

BRANDING UPDATED

  Previous: {old_accentColor} ({old_presetName or "custom"})
  New:      {new_accentColor} ({new_presetName or "custom"})

  Palette:
    Gradient:   {gradientStart} → {gradientMid} → {gradientEnd}
    Light/Dark: {accentLight} / {accentDark}

Phase 3: Artifact Audit

Step 3.1: Find Generated Artifacts

Scan for existing generated artifacts:

docs/infographic.svg
reports/*.html
Any file in docs/ or reports/ that contains color hex values matching the OLD branding

Step 3.2: Audit Each Artifact

For each found artifact, compare embedded colors against the NEW branding palette.

SVG files: Search for hex colors in gradient definitions, fill attributes, stroke attributes. HTML files: Search for CSS variable definitions (--accent:), inline style colors, gradient definitions.

Step 3.3: Report Audit Results

ARTIFACT AUDIT

  Found {N} generated artifacts:

  docs/infographic.svg
    → Uses old accent #6366f1 in {N} locations
    → Needs update: gradient definitions, card accents, metric highlights

  reports/spike-2026-02-14.html
    → Uses old accent #6366f1 in CSS variables
    → Needs update: --accent, --accent-light, --accent-dark

  {N} artifacts need brand updates.

If no artifacts found:

ARTIFACT AUDIT

  No generated artifacts found. New artifacts will use the updated branding.

Step 3.4: Offer to Fix

If artifacts need updates:

Use ask the user (use a clear, single-question prompt):

Question: "{N} artifacts have outdated branding. Fix them now?"
Options:
  - "Yes — regenerate artifacts with new branding (Recommended)"
  - "No — I'll update them manually later"

If "Yes": For each artifact type:

Infographic SVG: If /add-infographic skill exists, suggest running it. Otherwise, use Edit tool to find-and-replace old palette hex values with new ones in the SVG.
HTML Reports: Use Edit tool to update CSS variables and inline colors.

Report what was fixed:

FIXES APPLIED

  ✓ docs/infographic.svg — updated {N} color references
  ✓ reports/spike-2026-02-14.html — updated CSS variables

  All artifacts now match configured branding.

If "No":

Artifacts left as-is. Run /add-brand to check drift status anytime.

Phase 4: Summary

BRAND UPDATE COMPLETE

  Accent:     {accentColor} ({presetName or "custom"})
  Artifacts:  {N} found, {M} updated
  Config:     .add/config.json updated
