Applying CMS Brand

Universal skill for searching, extracting, and applying CMS brand guidelines to generated content.

Scope

**This skill is for APPLYING existing brand guidelines from Salesforce CMS to content you generate.**

**Use this skill when the user wants to:**

• Apply their brand voice/tone to generated content
• Find and use brand guidelines stored in Salesforce CMS
• Search for an existing brand in their org
• Get brand instructions for content generation
• Ensure generated content matches their brand identity
• Apply brand styling, tone, or voice to a page, component, or app

**DO NOT use this skill when the user wants to:**

• Search for images or media (use experience-content-media-search skill)
• Create a new brand from scratch
• Edit brand definitions in CMS
• Generate logos or visual brand assets

Before You Start

**CRITICAL: You must retrieve brand instructions BEFORE applying any brand.**

When a user requests branded content:

1. **Search for available brands** (if brand is not already identified) 2. **Extract brand instructions** for the selected brand 3. **Apply brand guidelines** to all content you generate

**Never generate content first and retrofit branding later.** Brand instructions must inform content generation from the start.

Workflow Overview

Copy this checklist and track your progress:

CMS Branding Progress:
- [ ] Step 1: Determine if brand is already identified or needs search
- [ ] Step 2: Search for brands (if needed) and present options to user
- [ ] Step 3: Extract brand instructions for the selected brand

Step 1: Determine Brand Context

Check if the user has already specified which brand to use:

**Brand is known** (user named it, or only one brand exists):

• Skip to Step 3 (Extract Brand Instructions)

**Brand is unknown** (user says "apply my brand" without specifying which):

• Proceed to Step 2 (Search for Brands)

Step 2: Search for Brands

**Tool:** `search_media_cms_channels`

Brands are stored as CMS content of type `sfdc_cms__brand`. Search for them by querying the CMS channels with the brand content type.

> **Note:** Brand content search (`contentTypeFqn=sfdc_cms__brand`) is explicitly > excluded from the `experience-content-media-search` skill's scope. Calling > `search_media_cms_channels` directly here is correct and intentional — do not > route brand search through `experience-content-media-search`.

**Process:**

1. **Determine search query** — Use the user's keyword. Brand search matches on brand title and description. 2. **Build the request** with the fixed brand-search input contract:

{
  "inputs": [{
    "searchKeyword": "keyword",
    "searchLanguage": "<detected_language>",
    "channelType": "PublicUnauthenticated",
    "contentTypeFqn": "sfdc_cms__brand",
    "pageOffset": 0,
    "searchLimit": 25
  }]
}

Field rules:

• `searchKeyword` — the user's keyword input
• `searchLanguage` — auto-detect from the user's input; if unsure, use `en_US`
• `channelType` — always `PublicUnauthenticated` (brand content is delivered

via the public CMS channel; authenticated-channel brand search is not supported by this tool)

• `contentTypeFqn` — always `sfdc_cms__brand`
• `pageOffset` — `0`
• `searchLimit` — `25`

3. **Call `search_media_cms_channels`** with the request 4. **Parse the response** — A brand result has an ID starting with **`9Ps`**. Extract:

• `managedContentId` — Unique ID (use this for extraction in Step 3)
• `managedContentKey` — Content key identifier
• `title` — Brand display name
• `contentUrl` — URL to the brand content, found under

`managedContentChannelDeliveryDetails[0].contentUrl`

• `pageNumber`, `pageSize`, `totalResults` — pagination summary

Presenting Brand Results

**If brands found**, first show a summary line, then use `ask_followup_question` to present options:

Showing [N] of [totalResults] total results (page [pageNumber], page size [pageSize]).

Which brand should I apply?

1. [Brand Title 1]
2. [Brand Title 2]
3. [Brand Title 3]

Which brand would you like to use?

When the user replies with their selection, do NOT perform another search — proceed immediately to Step 3.

**If one brand found**, confirm with the user:

I found the brand "[Brand Title]". Should I apply this brand's guidelines to the content?

**If no brands found:**

No brands found in Salesforce CMS. To use branding:
1. Create a brand in Salesforce CMS (Content Type: sfdc_cms__brand)
2. Provide brand guidelines directly in this conversation

Would you like to proceed without CMS branding, or provide guidelines manually?

**Never auto-select a brand without confirmation.** Always wait for user choice.

Step 3: Extract Brand Instructions

**Tool:** `get_brand_instructions`

**Process:**

1. **Call `get_brand_instructions`** — This retrieves the branding extraction prompt template 2. **Parse the response:**

• `promptBody` — Contains the full brand instruction prompt with ext
