Brand Extract

Many companies operate without formal brand guidelines, or their guidelines are buried in a PDF from three years ago that no longer matches reality. When designers, developers, or agencies need to work with the brand, they end up eyeballing colors and guessing at font sizes.

ToolRouter's extract_brand skill solves this by treating the live website as the source of truth. It extracts the actual colors, fonts, spacing patterns, and visual hierarchy being used in production, then presents them in a structured format that serves as a de facto brand guide.

This is a game-changer for agencies onboarding new clients who say "just match our website," for internal teams who need to document what actually exists, and for companies going through a brand refresh who need a clear picture of the current state before planning changes. The extracted data can serve as the foundation for a formal brand guide or as a quick reference for anyone who needs to stay on-brand.
