Brand Profile
Your colours, fonts and logo rules captured as the source of truth every designer reads, so everything you make already looks like you.
Style Guide
A one-page guide you can look at: colour swatches with hex codes, your type scale, and logo do's and don'ts. Your look at a glance, and easy to share with your team.
Examples Library
A folder for your best finished work, a graphic, a proposal, a deck. Every designer reads it to match your style, so your own work always beats a default.
1.Gather your design bits
Tick these off as you find them. None of it is compulsory, and Design Studio tells you honestly what it had to work around.
Drag the whole lot into your _Unsorted folder.
No sorting, no naming, no tidying. No _Unsorted folder yet? It reads your logo and your website instead, and makes you one.
Would rather not? Paste them into the chat when you run it and they get saved for you. The folder is better: you do it once, and the rest of your Brain can use them too.
2.Install the Design Studio plugin
Download the plugin file. In Cowork, go to Customize → Plugins → Add → Upload Plugin and pick the file. Or press the install button on the plugin preview if it was shared with you in chat.
There is no connector to set up. Design Studio runs on its own, and it brings the whole design team with it.
Get the plugin → Claude's plugin help →3.Start a task on Opus 4.8
Open a new task in Cowork, set to Opus 4.8 on High effort. If you have an AI Business Brain project, start the task inside it, so your look saves into your Brain and everything else can read it.
4.Capture your look
Type /, start typing design-studio, pick it from the list, then send. Type it, do not paste it, a pasted command often will not register.
It reads your _Unsorted folder, your logo and your website, then asks you to confirm. Your Brand Profile, Style Guide and Examples folder come back as it goes.
5.Make your first asset
Name the platform and what it should say. Same move: type /, pick graphic-designer from the list, then type the rest on the same line.

6.Optional · push your look into Canva
On Canva Pro? You can have Design Studio set up your Canva Brand Kit with your palette and fonts, so your Canva designs match too. Connect Canva, then ask it to push your colours and fonts across. Skip this entirely if you do not use Canva. Everything else works without it.
OptionalMeet your four designers.
All four read your Brand Profile, so a graphic, a proposal, a deck and a page come back looking like the one firm. No design software, no image tool, no login.
/ and start typing their name, pick them from the list, then type what you want on the same line. So /graphic-designer then make me a quote card for LinkedIn. Plain English works too, but the slash is surer: it guarantees you get the designer rather than generic Claude.Click any command below to copy it. One catch: a pasted
/command often will not wake the picker up. If it just sits there as plain text, retype the / and the first few letters, pick the name from the list, and paste or type the rest after it.The account owner enables it once for everyone.
On a personal Claude plan you can install plugins yourself, so carry on. On a Team or Enterprise plan, members cannot install on their own. The owner enables the plugin for the organisation first, then members refresh. If your install button is greyed out, this is almost always why. The owner goes to Settings or Customize, finds the organisation plugins, and enables Design Studio for the team. Claude's help docs keep the exact steps →
What to expect.
- ·A short conversation, not a form. Pause and resume any time.
- ·It never invents. If it does not know a colour or a font, it asks.
- ·Photos are yours or nothing. No stock, no generated people. Skip a slot and it uses a brand colour panel.
- ·Real font files make everything sharper. Without them it uses a close match and tells you.
