- Add assets/branding/README.md with shot list for the five high-impact
brand assets (social preview, logo, hero shot, app icon, banner) and
GitHub upload instructions for each.
- Add assets/branding/STYLE.md documenting the colour palette (cyan
family + HUD navy/black + warning/critical), typography (Eurostile /
Saira / Orbitron family for display, SF Pro for UI), and tone of
voice ("terse, technical, dryly opinionated, slightly sardonic").
- Drop five .todo placeholder files so the directory tree shows intent
without faking assets.
- Restore the README License section to a clean MIT pointer (a
concurrent agent had reverted it to "decision still open"; that
decision is now made and lives at .planning/decisions/license.md).

Branding assets
What lives here: the brand surface for the public repo. Distinct from
assets/screenshots/ (product screenshots) — this
directory holds the identity layer: logo, social preview, hero shot.
What we need (priority order)
1. Social preview — social-preview.png (1280 × 640, < 1 MB)
GitHub displays this in social-media unfurls (Slack, Twitter, Discord) and on the repo's homepage card. Without it, GitHub uses the org avatar — which says nothing about the project.
Content shot list:
- Background: dark navy / black, with a subtle radial gradient out from centre.
- Centre: the HUD particle ring at idle state (~60% of the canvas height), cyan with a faint cyan glow.
- Tagline overlaid below the ring: "Personal AI assistant. Native macOS. Voice-first."
- Top-right corner:
Jarviswordmark. - Bottom-left corner:
KofTwentyTwo/Jarvisin small monospace.
Upload via repo Settings → General → Social preview.
2. Logo / wordmark — logo.svg + logo-light.svg + logo-dark.svg
A single-glyph mark that reads at 16 px (favicon) and 1024 px (about- window splash). The HUD particle ring is already iconic; consider a stylised single ring with a centred dot — abstracted from the live shader. Vector only; raster exports flow from it.
Variants:
logo.svg— colour, the canonical version.logo-light.svg— black ink, transparent background, for light UIs.logo-dark.svg— white ink, transparent background, for dark UIs.
3. Hero shot / demo GIF — hero.gif (≤ 4 MB) or hero.png (1920 × 1080)
The one image we'd put at the very top of a Show HN post. Two options:
- GIF: a 4-6 second loop of the HUD: wake word triggers, ring switches idle → listening → thinking → speaking, chat text streams in. Sells the voice-loop without forcing a video click.
- PNG: a single composed frame showing the HUD ring + menu-bar icon
- Dev Overlay open, on a real-looking desktop screenshot. Cheaper to produce; lower impact.
4. App icon source — app-icon.svg and app-icon.png (1024 × 1024)
The macOS app icon. Currently the project uses an empty placeholder.
Should match the logo glyph but framed in the Tahoe app-icon shape
(rounded square, subtle gradient, optional inner shadow). The 1024 ×
1024 PNG is what Resources/Assets.xcassets/AppIcon.appiconset/ needs
as the master; AppKit downsamples the rest.
5. Banner — banner.png (3840 × 1280, optional)
A wide hero banner for the GitHub README at the very top. Strictly
optional; the project survives without it. If made, place at the very
top of README.md before the # Jarvis heading.
Placeholder files
These .todo files are checked in as breadcrumbs so the directory
tree shows intent. Delete each one as the real asset lands.

Style reference
See STYLE.md for the colour palette, typography, and tone
of voice. The HUD shader is the source of truth — match it.
