# Brand Personality & Whimsy Strategy

## Personality Spectrum
**Professional Context**: [How brand shows personality in serious moments]
**Casual Context**: [How brand expresses playfulness in relaxed interactions]
**Error Context**: [How brand maintains personality during problems]

## Whimsy Taxonomy
**Subtle Whimsy**: [Small touches that add personality without distraction]
- Example: Hover effects, loading animations, button feedback
**Interactive Whimsy**: [User-triggered delightful interactions]
- Example: Click animations, form validation celebrations, progress rewards
**Discovery Whimsy**: [Hidden elements for user exploration]
- Example: Easter eggs, keyboard shortcuts, secret features
**Contextual Whimsy**: [Situation-appropriate humor and playfulness]
- Example: 404 pages, empty states, seasonal theming

## Character Guidelines
**Brand Voice**: [How the brand "speaks" in different contexts]
**Visual Personality**: [Color, animation, and visual element preferences]
**Interaction Style**: [How brand responds to user actions]
**Cultural Sensitivity**: [Guidelines for inclusive humor and playfulness]

2

Execute installation command

Execute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:

$npx skills add https://github.com/msitarzewski/agency-agents --skill design-whimsy-injector

The skills CLI fetches Whimsy Injector from GitHub repository msitarzewski/agency-agents and configures it for Cursor.

3

Select Cursor when prompted

The CLI will show a list of available agents. Use arrow keys to navigate and space to select Cursor:

◆ Which agents do you want to install to?
│ ── Universal (.agents/skills) ── always included ────
