AutoVault Identity

Brand Scope

AutoVault is the public brand for this system. Keep the name direct and do not substitute HU AutoEvolve, AutoEvolve, or another parent-brand label in public surfaces unless the user explicitly asks for a separate historical note.

Core Idea

AutoVault presents agent skills as reviewed, signed, portable capability bundles. The identity should feel precise, secure, inspectable, and lively enough to showcase automation without turning into generic cyberpunk.

Palette

Use these tokens as the default source of truth:

Token	Value	Role
--av-bg	#0b1014	page background and deep charcoal surfaces
--av-bg-2	#0f161c	secondary bands and elevated dark surfaces
--av-panel	#131c24	compact panels, tool wells, cards
--av-line	#1f2c37	default borders and separators
--av-line-strong	#283744	active borders and stronger dividers
--av-ink	#e6edf3	primary text on dark
--av-ink-2	#aab8c5	secondary text
--av-ink-3	#6e8090	captions and disabled text
--av-mint	#5ad6c0	active state, vault stroke, success/admitted signal
--av-mint-soft	rgba(90, 214, 192, 0.12)	soft mint fills and halos
--av-warn	#e8a866	pending or needs-review state
--av-bad	#d97171	blocked or rejected state
--av-blue	#5a9dd6	Codex or information accent
--av-violet	#b48ad6	secondary agent or provenance accent

Use mint sparingly. Mint is the signal color, not the full theme. Charcoal, ink, line, and neutral surfaces should carry most of the interface.

Type

• Interface text: Inter.
• Code, terminal, manifests, hashes, and micro-labels: JetBrains Mono.
• Editorial or launch emphasis: Instrument Serif, used selectively and never inside dense controls.
• Micro-labels should be short, mono, and compact. Keep letter spacing at 0 unless the surrounding design system already defines another value.

Mark Anatomy

The canonical mark is a simplified vault:

• Rounded rectangular body.
• Two short bottom stubs.
• Center dial in locked/readable states.
• Optional dashed inner outline or depth hint for unlocked/read-path states.
• Mint stroke on charcoal by default.

Keep the body, stubs, and dial recognizable even at small sizes. In tight contexts the mark may lose glow, dashed depth, and interior detail, but it should not lose the vault silhouette.

Voice

Use clear product language: reviewed, signed, synced, admitted, staged, trusted, portable, inspectable. Avoid inflated claims and vague AI magic. The brand can be playful in mascot contexts, but the product voice stays practical.

Layout

• Prefer dense, inspectable layouts over oversized marketing cards for app surfaces.
• Use cards only for repeated items, modals, and genuinely framed tools.
• Let dark bands and constrained inner content define sections.
• Keep text within its container at mobile and desktop sizes.

Accessibility

• Maintain contrast on charcoal backgrounds.
• Provide a non-animated state for every animated mark or loader.
• Do not rely on color alone for lock, admit, reject, or pending states.
• Avoid tiny text inside SVG marks unless the target asset is large enough for real reading.
