+
+Markilo is not a "generate a logo" prompt. It is a Claude Code plugin plus a deterministic toolchain that
+**researches** a product, **designs** original vector marks, **measures** them (small-size legibility,
+balance, contrast, one-color reproduction), **compares** them against competitors and each other, and
+**exports** a complete, platform-correct asset kit — all locally, with no servers, paid APIs or accounts.
+
+![Markilo's own identity: every logo file, exported by Markilo](assets/kit-overview.png)
+
+<sub>Markilo's identity was made by running Markilo on itself, end to end: repository and market research (64 sources,
+37 competitor and category marks), five new directions plus the previous identity, an early sketch review, an
+independent critic gate that only one concept passed (`overlap`: two arches sharing a vermilion stem), then finalize
+and export. Every image in this README and the plugin icon is an unedited Markilo export (`branding/`). No trademark
+registry search has been done yet; the guidelines say so.</sub>
+
+## Highlights
+
+- **Brand intelligence, with receipts.** Repository and website scans, competitor and market research, and a persistent
+  Brand Intelligence Profile where every finding is `observed`, `inferred`, `verified` or `user-provided` and carries a
+  source and a date. Markilo reads what the product actually does — value proposition, features, audience, surfaces,
+  platforms, languages, pricing — and keeps what the product states apart from what it inferred. Unknowns are recorded
+  as gaps instead of guesses.
+- **Originality engine.** Silhouette overlap under rotation and mirroring, perceptual hashes (aHash/dHash/DCT pHash),
+  structural descriptors, palette distance (CIEDE2000), stock-primitive detection, concept-to-concept diversity, name
+  confusion (spelling, sound, stems) and trademark pre-screening plans for WIPO, TMview, USPTO, TÜRKPATENT and UKIPO —
+  written up as an Originality & Similarity Report with side-by-side overlays. Verdicts say how much evidence they rest
+  on — counted in distinct brands, with official, store and catalog sources rated apart: with too few references or no
+  logged registry searches the answer is `insufficient-evidence`, never "clear". Calibrated on 24 real brands' logos
+  (AUC 0.99; mirrored, rotated and recolored copies always caught; see [docs/ORIGINALITY.md](docs/ORIGINALITY.md)). It
+  finds conflicts among what was collected; it cannot prove a mark is unique or registrable.
+- **Ideas before drawings.** Every identity starts from a longlist of at least 12 visual hooks from the product, the
+  audience, the name, type and abstract character; a critic strikes the ones a stranger would read as a UI glyph or a
+  cliché from the words alone, before anything is drawn, and the gallery shows what was kept and why.
+- **Real design output.** Symbols built from construction specs — primitives, booleans, gaps, offsets, fillets,
+  repeats and real letterforms, compiled with Skia's path engine into clean SVG — and tuned by measured variants.
+  Wordmarks outlined from 24 bundled OFL families chosen for the brief's character, with real kerning (Turkish and
+  other Latin-extended letters checked in every weight); every changed letter is measured against the font's own
+  alphabet, so a word that would be misread ("an e that lost its eye", a dot that reads as a hyphen) is caught before
+  review. Lockups aligned to cap height, OKLCH tonal palettes with WCAG pairs.
+- **Looks before it talks.** Directions start as cheap sketches that a critical review must pick before any are
+  developed. Every concept is rendered to a review sheet (16–256 px, light, dark, black, white) and a context sheet (a
+  browser tab, a home screen next to the competitors, a site header, an avatar). An independent critic records a blind
+  first impression before it reads the rationale, and only concepts that pass its gate (brand fit, distinctiveness and
+  memorability ≥ 6 and "a senior designer would present it") reach you. A first look on the edge of the bar is decided
+  by the majority of three cold looks from fresh critics, and the designer can never approve its own work.
+- **Complete asset kit.** Logo variants, favicons, PWA + maskable icons, iOS (incl. dark/tinted and Icon Composer
+  layers), macOS `.icns`, Android adaptive + themed icons, Windows ICO + MSIX assets, Open Graph and social images,
+  marketing templates, design tokens and brand guidelines, with a manifest of sizes and hashes. You get what the
+  product needs: a web app gets web, social, tokens and guidelines; app and desktop icon sets are one question away.
+- **Brand Preview Gallery.** One offline HTML file comparing concepts on realistic surfaces (browser tab, home screen,
+  Dock, store listing, link preview, business card). Pin notes on the mark itself, compare two concepts side by side,
+  mark a preferred one, and send the decisions straight back to Claude (`gallery --serve`, local only) or paste them.
+- **Monorepo-aware.** Finds the sites, apps and packages of a monorepo, registers the user-facing ones as brands of a
+  family, and researches each separately — including existing icon sets and design-system docs.
+- **Families and locked brands.** Multi-product families share a system; existing identities can be **locked** so they
+  are reproduced byte-for-byte and never redesigned.
+- **Fits your stack.** `install-assets --framework auto` puts the files where Next.js (App Router metadata files),
+  Laravel, Flutter (Android, iOS and web) or a static site expects them — a dry run first, backups before anything is
+  replaced.
+- **Not tied to one AI.** Claude Code is home, but the toolchain is a plain CLI: `agent-setup` gives VS Code with
+  Copilot, Codex and Cursor the same workflow, with the researcher, designer and critic as sub-agents on the models
+  you choose (see [docs/INTEGRATIONS.md](docs/INTEGRATIONS.md)).
+
+## Measured quality
+
+Markilo is benchmarked end to end with nobody steering, on nine realistic products (an independent SaaS, a mobile
+app, a multi-product family, a developer tool, an online shop, a B2B platform, a learning app, a feature-flag service
+and a team secrets manager). Six of them were **holdouts** for a while: written before the changes they test and
+never used for tuning until those results were in. The plugin researches, writes the brief, designs, critiques, and
+finalizes only what passes its own gate. Blind judges then rate every critiqued concept from the brief and the images
+alone. Every run, image and score is in [bench/](bench).

+
+What this shows, plainly:
+
+- **1.0 did not make unattended work better, and says so.** On five briefs sealed before any 1.0 change and on three
+  real developer tools, an independent panel (Opus and Sonnet, blind) would present none of the 1.0 concepts; it would
+  not have presented the 0.5.0-rc.1 ones either. The two 1.0 gate passes were edge passes the panel rejected; the
+  gallery now marks such passes "at the edge". What 1.0 did improve is everything around the design: safety, the
+  install transaction, letter checks, typefaces, the critique process and the evidence. See
+  [bench/results/1.0.0](bench/results/1.0.0).
+
+- **Unattended, Markilo still rarely reaches its own gate** — 6 of the 47 validation runs since rc.5, 2 of 12 on
+  briefs that were still untouched holdouts when they ran.
+- **For the first time, what passes is what a strict judge would present.** In 0.5.0-rc.1 the gate and the Opus judge
+  (the majority of three looks per concept) agreed on all 29 critiqued concepts, and both identities that passed —
+  Quillnest, and Pinehold on a brief written for this round — were presentable to the judge. In 0.4.0 the two that
+  passed split it 2 of 4 and 0 of 4.
+- **Words beat invented symbols.** Both passes were wordmark-led: the name drawn from a real typeface with one letter
+  changed, the icon cut from it (2 of 13 judged presentable; invented symbols 0 of 16). Symbols assembled from
+  rectangles, circles and polygons keep reading as UI icons or objects — a power button, a wallet, an eye.
+- **Reworking a failed idea does not work, so Markilo stopped doing it.** Of 34 concepts sent back after a failed gate
+  in earlier rounds, one passed later, after three rounds. The gate now says `fix` once or `reject`; in rc.1 one
+  concept got a fix round, and the budget went to more directions instead (43, up from 27).
+- **How the gate got here was measured.** The critic's scores given after reading the rationale barely tracked the
+  strict judge (Spearman 0.20 on 32 concepts), a cold look did much better (0.51); the gate rests on the cold look.
+  Across all runs the gate and the judges agreed on 77 of 86 critiqued concepts. When nothing passes, Markilo says
+  so and nothing is finalized or exported.
+- **What moved the needle was measured, not guessed.** Hairline gaps came from Markilo's own guide; clichés reached
+  development because the sketch review picked the best of weak boards; the name's initial with a cut became the
+  default move once objects were ruled out; same-colour layers left seams. Each was found in the runs and fixed in
+  the plugin. The model was not the bottleneck (Opus 5.5 as designer did no better on the SaaS brief).
+
+Markilo is built to work with you: you pick the sketch to develop, react in the gallery and decide. Unattended runs
+measure the floor. The two that passed in 0.5.0-rc.1, as exported (fictional products, no human edits):

+
+## Install
+
+Requirements: [Claude Code](https://code.claude.com) and Node.js ≥ 20.10. Nothing else — the toolchain ships prebuilt
+(pure JavaScript + WebAssembly) and works on macOS, Linux and Windows.
+
+In Claude Code:
+
+```text
+/plugin marketplace add cihantopac/markilo
+/plugin install markilo@markilo
+```
+
+Or from a terminal:
+
+```bash
+claude plugin marketplace add cihantopac/markilo
+```
+
+```bash
+claude plugin install markilo@markilo
+```
+
+To update later: `claude plugin marketplace update markilo`, then `claude plugin update markilo@markilo` and restart
+Claude Code.
+
+Without Claude Code — for other coding agents ([docs/INTEGRATIONS.md](docs/INTEGRATIONS.md)) and scripts — the same
+toolchain is on npm:
+
+```bash
+npm install -g markilo
+```
+
+Then `markilo help`; to run without a global install, use `npx markilo <command>`.
+
+### `/markilo` and `/markilo:design`
+
+After installing, both `/markilo` and `/markilo:design` start the studio (verified with Claude Code 2.1.308). If another
+command already uses the name `/markilo` on your machine, Markilo can install a tiny personal skill that forwards to the
+plugin. It never touches files it did not create:
+
+```bash
+node ~/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/markilo/plugin/dist/markilo.mjs shortcut install --yes
+```
+
+(`shortcut status` and `shortcut uninstall --yes` are available too.)
+

+
+### A typical session
+
+```text
+you  › /markilo:design ./ — we're launching this as a product, it needs an identity
+     › (Markilo scans the repo: package.json, README, existing favicon, CSS colors, fonts)
+     › Discover: no real identity yet → mode "new". May I research competitors on the web? (y)
+     › Research: 8 competitors, category codes (green + shields everywhere), 3 gaps recorded
+     › Brief: 3 questions, each with a suggested answer
+     › Ideas: 16 visual hooks; the critic strikes 11 from the words ("a gauge", "a return key"), keeps 5
+     › Explore: 3 directions from the kept ideas — "Pulse" monogram, "Lighthouse" pictogram, "Signal" abstract
+     › Sketch: 4 quick constructions per direction; you pick in the gallery, with the critic's reading beside each
+     › Design: concept-designer agents develop the picks; each iterates on its review and context sheets
+     › Verify: "Lighthouse" 71% similar to a competitor reference → reworked from the idea up
+     › Critique: blind first look ("reads as: a pin, a drop") then scores; only "Pulse" passes the gate
+     › Review: gallery at http://127.0.0.1:…/ — pin a note on the stem, compare, "Send to your agent"
+     › Deliverables: a web app → logos, web, social, tokens, guidelines (app icons are one question away)
+     › Finalize "Pulse" → Export: 80 files → Next.js detected: 10 files for app/ and public/ (dry run, 0 overwrites)
+```
+
+### Monorepos and product families
+
+```text
+/markilo:research This is our product family monorepo at ./ — sites in products/, apps in apps/. The Ledger app's existing identity is locked.
+```
+
+Markilo runs `research monorepo`, shows you the packages it considers brands, and after you confirm registers them
+(with their folders) and scans each one. Work then proceeds family-first: shared system, master brand, sites one by one,
+and many apps as one coherent app-icon system. Exports can be copied into any package with
+`install-assets --project <folder>` (dry run first).
+

+## How it works
+
+```text
+Claude Code  ──  skills/ (process: research, strategy, design, critique)  ──  agents/ (researcher, designer, critic)
+                       │  node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/dist/markilo.mjs …
+                       ▼
+Toolchain (src/ → plugin/dist/): XML/SVG lint & optimize · resvg-wasm rendering · shape features & perceptual hashes ·
+similarity & genericity · quality scorecard · fontkit wordmarks · lockups · OKLCH palettes · research scanners ·
+originality & quality reports · exporters (ICO/ICNS encoders) · gallery · guidelines
+```
+
+The rule that keeps it honest: **anything measurable comes from code; anything judged is labeled as judgment.**
+Read [docs/ARCHITECTURE.md](docs/ARCHITECTURE.md) and [docs/ORIGINALITY.md](docs/ORIGINALITY.md).
+
+## The toolchain on its own
+
+The same CLI runs without Claude Code — useful in CI or scripts:
+
+```bash
+node plugin/dist/markilo.mjs help
+```
+
+```bash
+node plugin/dist/markilo.mjs compare my-logo.svg competitor.png
+```
+
+Examples: `wordmark --text "Acme" --font sora --weight 600 -o acme.svg`, `score logo.svg`, `palette "#f45d2c"`,
+`render logo.svg -o sheet.png --sheet`, `name check Acme --against Acmo,Akme`. Every command prints JSON.
+
+## Privacy and permissions
+
+- Everything runs locally, with no accounts, servers or paid APIs. The toolchain reaches the network only in the
+  research and font commands (`research site`, `research competitors`, `research app`, `fonts search/add`), which require
+  `--allow-network`; the skills ask you first, and before web searches that would reveal unreleased names. Site
+  research honours `robots.txt`.
+- The repository scanner never opens secret-like files (`.env*`, keys, credentials), and profiles store project-relative
+  paths, never your user name or folder layout.
+- Markilo writes only inside the brand workspace (`./brand`). Copying assets into your project is a dry run until you
+  approve `--apply`; existing files are never overwritten without `--force` and are backed up first.
+- `gallery --serve` listens on `127.0.0.1` only, with a random token, and serves only the gallery and approved artwork.
+- Raw research captures and competitor references are git-ignored inside the workspace.
+
+Details: [docs/PRIVACY.md](docs/PRIVACY.md) · [SECURITY.md](SECURITY.md).
+
+## Limitations
+
+- **Not legal advice.** Similarity analysis and registry pre-screening do not clear a trademark. No results ≠ unique.
+  Use a trademark attorney before adopting a brand.
+- Automated similarity measures form, composition, structure and color. **Conceptual** similarity (the same idea drawn
+  differently) is judged by the critic agent and by you.
+- Reference comparison covers only the marks collected for the brand; collecting good references matters.
+- Raster images (PNG/JPEG) are analyzed for similarity; vector tracing of raster logos is not included.
+- Icon Composer (`.icon`) files are not written directly; Markilo exports the layer sources to import.
+- X (Twitter) image sizes could not be verified against x.com documentation (blocked to automated readers).
+- Design quality still depends on the model and on your direction: unattended runs rarely pass the critic gate, and a
+  strict independent judge accepts only a few of the marks they develop (see [Measured quality](#measured-quality)).
+  On real developer tools with coined names, twelve unattended runs produced no identity an independent panel would
+  present ([bench/results/1.0.0/real-projects.md](bench/results/1.0.0/real-projects.md)). Markilo raises the floor and
+  refuses to hide weak work; taste is a conversation, and the gallery is where you steer it.
+
+## Develop
+
+```bash
+npm ci
+```
+
+```bash
+npm run ci
+```
+
+`npm run ci` runs Biome, TypeScript, Vitest (unit, integration and bundled-CLI tests), the build and a check that the
+committed `plugin/dist/` matches the sources. `node scripts/smoke.mjs` takes an empty folder to installed assets with
+the bundle alone (CI also runs it on the copy `claude plugin install` produces). `node scripts/bench.mjs` runs the
+end-to-end benchmark ([bench/](bench)). Plugin evals live in [`plugin/evals/`](plugin/evals) (`claude plugin eval plugin`).
