Fed it a real site excerpt (CSS custom props + copy); the baseline free-hand pass fabricated a hex (#F5F0E8) and two font names never present anywhere in the source, exactly the failure this skill's Rule 1/2 exist to prevent, while the skill run pulled the real 4 hexes and 2 font families from the CSS and correctly flagged the unstated divider color and font weights as needs-confirmation.

What Brand Lock Extractor does

Extracts a nine-section brand-lock.md (identity, palette, type, mood, never-list, motion, voice) from a website, brand-book PDF, screenshots, or written description, tagging every value extracted/inferred/needs-confirmation with its source. Triggers on 'extract my brand', 'build a brand lock', or handing over brand assets; explicitly declines to run on a vague idea with no assets, pointing the user at the blank template instead.
