branded-docs

Turn plain content into polished, perfectly on-brand documents (proposals, one-pagers, presentations, invoices) without a designer or a single template fight.

What it does

branded-docs produces finished business documents that look like your brand every single time. You provide the words; the workbench wraps them in your identity (colors, type, logo, spacing) and hands you a clean document ready to send or save as PDF.

There is no design tool to learn, no template to wrestle, and no toolchain to install. The output is a self-contained HTML document you open in any browser and print to PDF.

Why it matters

One customer replaced their paid AI document tool after branded-docs held a consistent look across 135 deliverables. Determinism is the point: the same brand, no drift, no cleanup.

When to use it

Reach for branded-docs whenever something needs to leave your workshop looking professional and on-brand. If you would otherwise open a blank doc and start fighting fonts, this is the tool.

What you can make

Each document type maps to a purpose-built template. Just name what you need.

Type	What it’s for
Proposal & agreement	Proposals, agreements, memos, general documents. Portrait, Letter.
One-pager & sell sheet	Capability statements and single-page leave-behinds that sell.
Presentation	On-brand slide decks with a presenter console, no slide software.
Invoice, quote & PO	Billing documents that carry your identity, not a generic grid.

Quick start

1. Ask your CLI agent. In your own harness (Claude Code, Codex, opencode, or another) say “Draft a one-page capability statement for a Huntsville manufacturer,” plus the points you want covered.
2. It drafts the content. Your assistant writes the body into a content fragment; you review and edit the words, never the styling.
3. It renders on-brand. The workbench wraps your content in the right template, applying brand-kit colors, type, and logo automatically.
4. Open & save as PDF. Open the result in your browser, then Print → Save as PDF. Enable “Background graphics” so the brand prints.

How the content works

Under the hood, your document is just a short content fragment: a five-line header followed by ordinary HTML for the body. You rarely touch this directly (your assistant writes it), but here is what one looks like, so you know there is no magic.

---
title: Capability Statement
subtitle: Acme Manufacturing · Huntsville, AL
type: document

<h2>Who we are</h2>
<p>One paragraph of plain content. The brand is applied for you.</p>

The brand never lives in the document; it lives in brand-kit. Change your brand once there, and every document re-renders to match. That is the whole “docs-as-data” idea.

Tips & FAQ

My PDF prints without the colors. Turn on “Background graphics” in the browser print dialog. That single checkbox is what carries the brand into the PDF.

Can I change the colors or logo? Yes, but not per document. Update brand-kit once and every branded-docs output follows. This is deliberate: it is what keeps 100+ documents consistent.

Do I need any software installed? No. Output is plain HTML and your browser does the PDF. There is no Marp, no build step, no toolchain.

What if I need a document type that is not listed? Just ask your assistant. New templates are built from your brand-kit, so a new type still comes out perfectly on-brand.
