Commands

You talk to Brand Guard in the brand-guard Slack channel. Most of the time Brand Guard works silently in the background as part of the publish flow, but you can also ask it questions directly, request a review of a draft you paste in, or look up past decisions.

Check a Draft or a Paragraph

Paste a piece of content and ask Brand Guard to assess it against a specific client's brand.

@Agenteous look at this paragraph for [client name] and tell me if it's on-brand

Brand Guard loads that client's brand context, scores the text, and replies with a brief breakdown covering which dimension it flagged (Voice, Messaging, or Governance), the specific concern, and a proposed edit. This is a conversational review and does not record a formal audit decision.

Request a Full Review

Ask Brand Guard to run a complete brand-coherence check on a longer draft.

@Agenteous run a brand check on this draft for [client name]: [paste draft]

Brand Guard returns a score across all four dimensions (Voice, Visual, Messaging, Governance), a verdict (auto-approve, review, revise, or reject), and any redlines if the draft falls below the approval threshold. Conversational checks like this do not trigger the publish flow; they are for getting a read on a draft before you submit it formally.

Look Up a Past Decision

Ask Brand Guard why it blocked something.

@Agenteous why did you block that LinkedIn post for [client name] yesterday?

Brand Guard retrieves the recorded decision and replies with the score breakdown, the specific flags that were raised, and the redlines that were issued. You do not need a reference number; Brand Guard can find decisions by client and approximate timing.

Re-Audit an Edited Draft

After a draft has been revised, you can ask Brand Guard to score it again.

@Agenteous re-audit the revised draft for [client name]: it's been edited

Brand Guard pulls the current version of the draft, runs a fresh audit, records a new decision, and returns the updated score and verdict.

Compare Brand Rules Between Clients

If you notice two clients' content scoring differently for similar copy, ask Brand Guard to explain the difference.

@Agenteous why is [client A]'s content scoring lower than [client B]'s for similar drafts?

Brand Guard compares the two clients' brand configurations side by side and identifies the rules or voice standards that are driving the score difference.

Approval Buttons

Brand Guard does not post its own approval card. The approval card lives in the channel of the agent that created the draft: Marketing Content, Marketing Social, or Marketing Email.

When Brand Guard blocks a draft, a one-line notice appears in that agent's channel. The full breakdown, including the score, the flags, and the redlines, appears in the draft agent's card. From that card you can:

• Revise: take the redlines, edit the draft, and resubmit through the same agent.
• Publish now: override the block and publish the draft as-is. This is logged; Brand Guard records the override and the operator who made it.

Brand Guard does not have Approve or Skip buttons of its own. Its role is to supply the verdict; the decision to act on it belongs to you.
