The AI entry point for THE WORD brand system

Every file below is raw Markdown or JSON, served without navigation, scripts, or decoration. Agents should start at manifest.json, which names every current resource with its version and checksum.

Humans want the Brand Guide and the Messaging Guide instead.

ResourceWhat it is
manifest.jsonThe doorway. Versions, checksums, and links to everything else.
brand-system.mdThe complete brand standard as one document.
SKILL.mdInstallable agent skill: the retrieval and audit workflow.
tokens.jsonColors, typography, both themes, the type scale, the neutral ramp, system tokens and states, outcome and progression colour, and every contrast pair measured.
tokens.dtcg.jsonThe same tokens in W3C Design Tokens format, for design tooling.
tokens.tsThe same tokens as typed TypeScript exports, for applications.
tailwind.preset.jsThe same tokens as a Tailwind preset, replacing the default theme.
audit.mdThe brand audit rubric and report template.
components.jsonComponent specifications, resolved against current tokens.
channels.jsonOne entry per surface: sizes, safe areas, limits, rules, and the audit checks that apply.
governance.jsonPolicies, processes, and procedures: how this system is run, changed, and used.
copy-bank.jsonPre-approved strings by channel, each within the character limit it was written against.
assets.jsonApproved logos, photography, and video, with usage rules.
approved-examples.mdWorked output that passes the audit.
anti-patterns.mdWhat not to do, including every DON'T and every banned word.

To point any AI tool at this system, paste this:

Before beginning, retrieve https://brand.theword.world/ai/manifest.json. Follow the brand system and skill it names. Audit the result against the audit resource and state which brand-system version you used.
