Branding

Every output is branded consistently. The plugin ships with Acme Inc defaults.

Custom branding

Create .reporting/brand-config.json in your project to override any brand values:

{
  "firm": {
    "name": "Your Company",
    "tagline": "Your tagline"
  },
  "colors": {
    "primary": "#003366",
    "accent": "#0077CC"
  }
}

Only override what you need — everything else falls back to defaults. See branding/skills/brand/assets/brand-config.schema.json for the full schema.

Brand assets

Place custom assets in .reporting/:

.reporting/
├── brand-config.json       # Override brand values
├── logo.png                # Primary logo (400x100px recommended)
├── logo-dark.png           # Logo for dark backgrounds
├── icon.png                # Square icon (256x256px)
└── fonts/
    └── heading.woff2       # Custom heading font

Natural language overrides

For quick tweaks, create .claude/branding.local.md:

Use a warm earth-tone palette.
Company name is "Terra Holdings".
Use serif fonts for headings.

Disable with "nl_overrides": false in brand-config.json for fully reproducible builds.

Output

All output goes to output/ in your working directory:

output/
├── pdf/          # PDF documents
├── docx/         # Word documents
├── pptx/         # PowerPoint decks
├── xlsx/         # Excel spreadsheets
├── csv/          # CSV exports
├── text/         # Markdown, HTML, TXT, JSON
└── app/          # Interactive React apps

Validation modes

Set "mode": "strict" in brand-config.json for strict validation:

• Hard-fail on missing dependencies, formula errors, font issues
• Emit .validation.json sidecar alongside each artifact
• Auto-correction: agent fixes issues and retries once

Default is "best_effort" — warn and continue.

Multi-format requests

When you request multiple formats, the agent:

1. Resolves branding first
2. Generates a canonical JSON data file (data-first pattern)
3. Generates each format from the same data — ensuring 100% data parity
4. Summarizes all outputs with file paths
