Apply a structured brand guide (colors, typography, buttons, spacing) when polishing DOCX and other deliverables so investor decks and specs look consistently professional.

About

Document-polisher is an agent skill that encodes an Apple-inspired brand guide—color roles, typography stacks, component treatments, spacing, and asset references—so your coding agent can restyle documents with the same discipline a design team would expect. Solo and indie builders shipping pitch decks, one-pagers, or customer-facing PDFs/DOCX often lack a designer on retainer; this skill turns brand tokens and layout rules into repeatable instructions the agent follows while editing files. Use it when a draft reads fine but looks off-brand, when you need consistent headings and link colors across a doc set, or when you want pill buttons and display typography called out explicitly instead of vague “make it prettier” requests. It pairs well with other polished-document skills in the same repo for end-to-end document workflows. Complexity is beginner-friendly because the taxonomy is tabular and copy-pasteable into agent edits.

  • Maps primary, accent, background, and link colors with hex roles and preview labels
  • Defines SF Pro Text/Display stacks with Helvetica/Arial fallbacks for body and headings
  • Documents H1/H2/body size scale and pill-shaped primary/secondary button specs
  • Includes spacing base unit (4px), content radius (5px), and DOCX application guidelines
  • Anchors polish to a full brand personality and target-audience narrative, not ad-hoc formatting

Workflow

Step 1: Ask the User

When a user wants to polish a document: 1. Display the brand selection menu above 2. Ask: "Which brand style would you like to apply? You can also tell me the purpose of your document and I'll recommend a style."

Step 2: Apply the Styling

IMPORTANT: Always use the Python script with python-docx. Never use direct XML/OOXML manipulation as it can corrupt documents.

Primary Method: Python Script (REQUIRED)

The script uses python-docx to safely recreate documents with brand styling. It:

  • Reads the source document
  • Creates a new document with brand styles applied
  • Copies all content with proper formatting
  • Preserves bold, italic, lists, and structure
# Ensure python-docx is installed in the environment
pip install python-docx

# Apply brand styling
python scripts/apply_brand.py <input.docx> <brand_name> <output.docx>

# Examples:
python scripts/apply_brand.py report.docx economist polished_report.docx
python scripts/apply_brand.py proposal.docx mckinsey styled_proposal.docx
python scripts/apply_brand.py guide.docx stripe tech_guide.docx
Available Brand Names:
  • economist - The Economist (editorial, serif)
  • mckinsey - McKinsey & Company (consulting, sharp)
  • deloitte - Deloitte (consulting, teal)
  • kpmg - KPMG (consulting, bold blue)
  • stripe - Stripe (tech, dark blue/purple)
  • apple - Apple (tech, minimalist)
  • ibm - IBM (tech, enterprise)
  • notion - Notion (productivity, clean)
  • linear - Linear (tech, modern purple)
  • figma - Figma (design, colorful)

What the Script Does

1. Loads brand configuration from templates/brand-mapping.json 2. Creates a fresh document (avoids corruption from XML editing) 3. Applies document-level styles:

  • Normal text style (font, size, color)
  • Heading 1, 2, 3 styles (font, size, color, spacing)
  • Title style
  • Page margins

4. Copies content with formatting:

  • Preserves headings at correct levels
  • Maintains bullet and numbered lists
  • Keeps bold, italic, underline formatting
  • Preserves paragraph alignment
  • Copies tables with styling

5. Saves as new file (never overwrites original)

Brand Reference Files

Detailed brand guidelines are stored in the brands/ directory:

BrandReference FileKey Elements
The Economistbrands/economist.mdGeorgia serif, #1F2E7A navy, minimal borders
McKinseybrands/mckinsey.mdHelvetica Neue, #051C2C dark, sharp corners
Deloittebrands/deloitte.mdOpen Sans, #007CB0 teal, rounded elements
KPMGbrands/kpmg.mdOpen Sans, #1E49E2 blue
Stripebrands/stripe.mdHelvetica Neue, #0A2540 + #9966FF purple
Applebrands/apple.mdHelvetica Neue, #0071E3 blue, minimal
IBMbrands/ibm.mdArial, #0F62FE blue, sharp corners
Notionbrands/notion.mdArial, #0075DE blue, block-based
Linearbrands/linear.mdArial, #5E6AD2 purple, modern
Figmabrands/figma.mdArial, multi-color palette

Style Mapping

The templates/brand-mapping.json file contains structured data for programmatic styling:

{
  "brands": {
    "economist": {
      "name": "The Economist",
      "colors": {
        "primary": "#1F2E7A",
        "accent": "#E3120B",
        "textPrimary": "#0D0D0D"
      },
      "typography": {
        "headingFont": "Georgia",
        "bodyFont": "Georgia"
      },
      "styles": {
        "h1": { "size": 28, "color": "#1F2E7A", "bold": true },
        "h2": { "size": 22, "color": "#1F2E7A", "bold": true },
        "body": { "size": 11, "color": "#0D0D0D" }
      }
    }
  }
}

Examples

Example 1: Polish a Report with McKinsey Style

User: "Make my quarterly report look more professional"

1. Show brand menu 2. User selects "McKinsey" 3. Apply styling:

cd /path/to/project
source venv/bin/activate  # if using virtual environment
python .claude/skills/document-polisher/scripts/apply_brand.py quarterly_report.docx mckinsey polished_quarterly_report.docx

Example 2: Apply Economist Style to a Guide

User: "Style this guide like The Economist"

python .claude/skills/document-polisher/scripts/apply_brand.py guide.docx economist guide_economist.docx

Example 3: Tech Documentation with Stripe Style

User: "Make this API doc look like Stripe's documentation"

python .claude/skills/document-polisher/scripts/apply_brand.py api_doc.docx stripe api_doc_stripe.docx

Dependencies

  • Python 3.x
  • python-docx: pip install python-docx

The script will check for python-docx and provide installation instructions if missing.

Tips for Best Results

1. Match brand to content: Use consulting brands for business docs, tech brands for technical content 2. Consider your audience: Economist for academics, Stripe for developers, Apple for consumers 3. Don't over-brand: The goal is professional polish, not exact brand copying 4. Test with PDF export: Some styling looks different in PDF vs Word 5. Use virtual environment: Keeps dependencies isolated

Troubleshooting

"Module not found: docx"

pip install python-docx

Document looks wrong

  • Ensure the source document uses standard Word styles (Heading 1, 2, 3, Normal)
  • Check that lists use built-in List Bullet/List Number styles

Script path issues

Always run from the project root or use absolute paths:

python /full/path/to/.claude/skills/document-polisher/scripts/apply_brand.py input.docx brand output.docx

Adding New Brands

To add a new brand: 1. Use FireCrawl to extract branding: mcp__firecrawl__firecrawl_extract_branding 2. Create a new file in brands/<brand_name>.md 3. Add entry to templates/brand-mapping.json with:

  • name, description, category
  • colors: primary, accent, background, textPrimary, textSecondary
  • typography: headingFont, bodyFont
  • styles: h1, h2, h3, body with size, color, bold

4. Test with sample documents
