Annotated Guidelines

One-page brand sheet to copy

A one-page brand summary for a freelancer, a partner or an AI agent: logo files, colors, fonts, voice and words as plain text. Copy it and fill it in.

Not every job needs the whole guide. A one-page sheet gives a freelancer, a partner, or an AI agent the values for most everyday work. It links to the full guide for everything else. Keep it to one screen.

The sheet

# [Brand]: one-page brand sheet

Updated [date]. Full guide: [link]. Questions: [email].

When to use it

  • A brief for a freelancer or an agency on a small job.
  • The first file that you give an AI agent when it starts work on the brand.
  • A partner who needs to place your logo and name correctly, and nothing else.

How to keep it current

The sheet is a summary, so it goes out of date when the guide changes. Put the same date on both, and change them together. Sharing shows how to keep one current version for a team and its agents.
