Established M_

The lens

“I’d keep this for years.” Flexibility & context over features.

Palette & functional colour

Black · oxblood · greys · white. Colour spent only when it must be.

The _ signature

One mark — waiting, working, speaking. Splash, icon, thinking, loops.

Motion grammar

Tempo encodes meaning: blip · building cursor · listening pulse.

A · Front door

The Threshold + matched Access screen.

B · Voice canvas

Listening · thinking · speaking, one focused surface.

C · Settings

Web-hosted; one system; grouped; native bridge only.

D · Dispatch chat

Typeset replies, copper you, the growing tick, today-only.

Loops

Checklists with cursor-bullets; tap to strike; clear next day.

States & rooms

Sheet · menu · empty · offline (auto-retry) · first-run · denied.

App icon

Ink-on-charcoal M_, one SVG for Android + web.

Voice & copy

Spymaster persona; controls stay plain.

📄 docs/design/mallory-brand-design-guide.md

It’s written. Have a read, and tell me where to go next:
Tweak anything in the guide
Commit it as the session output (I’ll add .superpowers/ to .gitignore)
Export the app-icon assets from the spec
Write an implementation plan to build it in the real app
