BF nous-branding
Generate images and content consistent with the Nous Research brand identity. Use when creating visuals in the Nous / Theia / Hermes ecosystem: a "cyber-classical" style blending neo-classical statuary, cyberpunk/industrial grunge, and retro anime illustration. Covers official brand color palette, typography (Inter/IBM Plex Sans, JetBrains Mono, heavy distressed display faces), the Nous Girl mascot, texture system, and image prompt construction. Ships reference images for palette, mascot, and brand collage that can be used as img2img inputs. Do not use this skill for unrelated requests; route to the nearest named specialist.
