Create a visual identity brief for a brand — logo direction, color palette, typography, imagery style, and design system foundations. Use when the user says "visual identity", "brand identity", "logo brief", "logo direction", "design brief", "brand design", "color palette for my brand", "typography for my brand", "visual language", "design system", "brand look and feel", "what should my brand look like", or is briefing a designer or design agency. Also use when the user has a brand strategy and wants to translate it into visual design direction.

Check if .agents/brand-context.md exists. If it does, read it before asking questions. Use that context and only ask for information not already covered.
If brand context is missing, ask:
Generate the brief in this order:
One paragraph (3–4 sentences) that translates the brand's positioning and personality into a design intention. This is the "why" behind every visual decision that follows. Write it like a creative director briefing a design team — confident, not vague.
Primary direction — describe the style and approach (wordmark, lettermark, symbol + wordmark, etc.)
Character — what feeling should the mark convey?
Style notes — geometric or organic? Hand-drawn or constructed? Minimal or expressive?
What to avoid — specific styles, shapes, or clichés this brand should not use
3 Logo References — describe 3 real logos (by name) that share qualities the brand should draw from, and explain which specific quality to borrow from each
Primary color — name, hex code (suggest one), and rationale. What does this color say about the brand?
Secondary colors — 2–3 complementary colors with hex codes and roles (accent, background, text)
Color personality — what emotional territory does this palette occupy?
Usage rules — primary use cases and any combinations to avoid
Palette type — monochromatic, analogous, complementary, triadic?
Primary typeface — suggest a specific free or paid font. Describe its character.
Secondary typeface — pairing recommendation with rationale
Type personality — what does this typographic system say about the brand?
Usage hierarchy — Headlines / Subheads / Body / Labels
Avoid — any typeface categories or styles that conflict with the brand
Overall aesthetic — what is the visual mood? (e.g. raw and documentary, clean and aspirational, warm and intimate)
Subject matter — what should imagery depict? People, product, environment, abstraction?
Color treatment — natural, high contrast, desaturated, warm-toned?
What to avoid — stock photo clichés, over-produced aesthetics, styles that feel off-brand
Style — line icons, filled, rounded, sharp, illustrated, abstract?
Weight — thin, regular, bold?
Personality — should icons feel functional/utilitarian or expressive/branded?
