 You are working in a project that uses **Brand Intent**, an open file format for encoding brand identity, expression intent, and content composition rules across five composable layers. This skill teaches you how to read, compose, and validate Brand Intent files.

 ## File Discovery
 
-Brand Intent files follow this structure:
+A Brand Intent brand lives in its own folder, named after the brand:
 
 ```
-brandname.identity
-brandname.brand
-formats/*.format
-purposes/*.purpose
-compositions/*.composition
+brandname/
+├── brandname.identity
+├── brandname.brand
+├── formats/*.format
+├── purposes/*.purpose
+└── compositions/*.composition
 ```
 
-To find the active brand, look for the `.identity` and `.brand` files at the project root. There is exactly one of each per project.
+### Finding the active brand
+
+A **brand folder** is a directory that contains both a `*.identity` and a `*.brand` file whose base name matches the folder name. To find the active brand:
+
+1. Search the project for brand folders, but **skip anything under `examples/`** — those are reference material, not the user's real brand.
+2. **If exactly one non-example brand folder exists**, use it silently. That is the active brand.
+3. **If multiple exist**, ask the user which brand they want to work on. Don't guess.
+4. **If none exist but an example brand does** (e.g. `examples/krume/`), treat the example as the active brand — the user is in learning mode. Before doing work, say one line: *"Working with the Krume example brand — run `/brand-intent onboard` when you want to create your own."* Then proceed normally.
+5. **If nothing exists at all**, suggest running `/brand-intent onboard` to create a brand, or `npx brand-intent init` to scaffold the Krume example.
+
+Explicit references to an example brand (e.g. "show me the Krume example", "how does Krume handle headlines?") always reach into `examples/` directly, regardless of what the active brand is.
