Before you start

Open a new session in Claude Code with the Metanoia repo connected. Brandforge loads automatically — you don't need to configure anything. Just start describing what you want to make.

Your work lives in the session until you push it

Anything you generate exists only in your current Claude Code session. If you close the tab or start a new conversation, it's gone. Push your work to its destination before you leave — each surface has its own push command listed below.

How to prompt

  1. 1

    Start a fresh conversation

    Open a new session each time. A clean slate means Brandforge loads correctly and nothing from a previous session carries over unexpectedly.

  2. 2

    Describe what you're making and who it's for

    Name the asset, the audience, and the goal. Don't describe colors or fonts — describe the communication problem you're solving. Brandforge translates intent into on-brand output.

    "Create a landing page for the AIC product. Audience is operations managers at mid-size manufacturers. Goal is to get them to request a demo. Three sections: hero, key benefits, call to action."
  3. 3

    Describe structure, not style

    Say what sections or pieces you need. Leave every visual decision to Brandforge. If you need to reference something visual, use plain English — the AI will translate it to the right brand value.

    "Hero with a headline, one-sentence subhead, and a button. Three feature cards below. Footer with contact info." not: "Use the dark navy background with the aqua button."
  4. 4

    Review and direct

    If something feels off, say so in plain English. "The headline feels too small." "The cards feel cramped." You're directing — Brandforge is executing. You never need to touch the code.

  5. 5

    Push your work

    When you're happy with the result, use the push command for your surface type. This sends the file to its destination so it exists beyond the session and is accessible to your team.

Example prompts by surface

Active surfaces can be generated and pushed today. Coming soon surfaces can be previewed in-session but don't have a push command yet — your work will be lost when the session ends.
