Audit a folder of visual assets against your guidelines

In Claude Cowork, Claude Opus 4.7 can read a large folder of image exports at full resolution to spot off-brand colors, outdated logos, and missing legal copy. Point Claude at your assets folder and your brand guidelines, and get back a categorized list of violations with a confidence rating on each one.

Describe the task

With Claude Opus 4.7, any folder of images can be checked against a written set of rules — brand guidelines for marketing assets, accessibility rules for UI screenshots, a style guide for a batch of design exports.

Opus 4.7 reads images at higher resolution than prior Claude models, so the small details that decide a match — a hex value, a logo version, a line of legal text — come through clearly. It can hold the rules document and the images together and check one against the other across the whole folder.

Here, a folder of live marketing assets gets checked against a brand-guidelines PDF and a legal-compliance sheet.

Audit every PNG and JPG in this folder against brand-meridian-2025-q2.pdf and legal-required-copy.txt.

Flag:

  • the old 2024 logo
  • off-brand hex codes (#0052B3 instead of #004B9F, #D4AF37 instead of #C9A961)
  • missing or undersized legal copy

Group by violation type. For each one give me filename, issue, guideline value, asset value, and confidence. End with how many assets passed all checks.

Give Claude context

In Claude Cowork, point your project at the folder that holds the brand-guidelines PDF, the legal sheet, and the asset exports.

Make sure Opus 4.7 is selected in the model picker. Opus 4.7 has improved vision which helps while reading small text in the guide and matching it against the same detail across hundreds of images.

Required context

  • A Claude Cowork project pointed at the folder holding the brand-guidelines PDF, legal sheet, and asset exports (PNG/JPEG)
No items found.

Optional context

  • Asana or Linear — file each high-confidence violation as a task.
  • Slack connector — post a summary to a channel.
  • A note in the project instructions ranking which rules are mandatory (legal copy) versus tolerable (a hex within a few points), so Claude weights them.

What Claude creates

Claude reads the guide and the legal sheet, then checks every asset in the folder against them. You get a grouped violation list (filename, issue, guideline vs asset value, confidence per item), a compliant count, and a short "less certain" block for the items worth opening yourself.

From Claude

Audited 200 PNG/JPG files against brand-meridian-2025-q2.pdf and legal-required-copy.txt.

Logo & lockup — 3 violations

  • q1-social-tile-14.png · 2024 logo still in use · high
  • partner-onepager-emea.pdf · clear space 8px (min is 20px) · high
  • product-hero.png · tagline reads "Better Decisions" (approved: "Always On") · high

Color — 2 violations

  • email-header-march.png · banner is #0052B3 (guide: #004B9F) · high
  • social-tile-feb.png · gold reads close to #D4AF37 (guide: #C9A961) · medium — estimated from tone, not a printed hex

Typography — 2 violations

  • case-study-onepager.pdf · body is Helvetica (guide: Manrope) · high
  • q2-email-template.html · H1 at 16pt (guide: 18pt+) · high

Required legal copy — 3 violations

  • partner-onepager-emea.pdf · footer at 7pt (min 8pt) · high
  • event-banner-sf.png · "© 2024" (should be 2025) · high
  • webinar-promo-9.png · footer missing · high

Unapproved claims — 1 violation

  • product-comparison.png · "3× faster" not in approved-claims list · high

Compliant: 189 assets pass all checks.

Less certain: the gold on social-tile-feb.png may be a JPG compression shift rather than the old hex; partner-deck-asia.pptx uses a green not in the guide, possibly an approved regional variant.

Continue the conversation with Claude to refine, expand, or explore further.

Check the live pages where these assets appear

The exports are one step removed from what customers see. With Claude in Chrome, Claude can open the live pages and run the same checks against what's rendering there — catching cases where the file was fixed but the page still shows the old version.

For each high-confidence violation, open the live page listed in asset-urls.csv in Chrome and tell me whether the published version has the same issue or has already been corrected.

Ask Claude

File each high-confidence violation as a task

With Asana or Linear connected, Claude turns each finding into a task with the filename, the rule, and the fix, so the audit ends in your tracker instead of a chat.

Create an Asana task in the Brand Compliance project for every high-confidence violation, assigned to the asset owner, with the filename, the guideline, and the corrected value in the description.

Ask Claude

Save the audit as a skill and put it on a schedule

When the rules and grouping are right, save them as a skill so the check is one line. Then set that skill as a scheduled task in Claude Cowork — every Friday, Claude runs the same audit on whatever is new in the folder and posts the result to Slack, with the rules already written down.

Save this as a skill called brand-compliance-audit, then schedule it to run every Friday at 2pm and post the summary to #brand-ops.

Tricks, tips, and troubleshooting

Name the deliverable and the grouping in your prompt

Tell Claude how to group the findings (Logo, Color, Legal, Claims) and what to return per item (filename, issue, guideline value, asset value, confidence). Opus 4.7 follows a format instruction like that closely, so you get a structured list you can act on rather than prose.

Opus 4.7 reads images with more precision; Claude Cowork is what lets it work through the whole folder

The high-resolution reading is a property of the model. Claude Cowork is what gives the model the entire folder — assets and reference documents together — and the working context to process all 200 in one task. You'd get the same reading quality on a handful of uploads in a claude.ai chat with Opus 4.7 selected; Claude Cowork is what makes it practical at folder scale and lets you schedule it.

Tell Claude which rules are mandatory and which are tolerable

If legal copy is non-negotiable but a hex within a few points is acceptable, say so in the prompt or the project instructions. Opus 4.7 will weight legal violations as high priority and near-miss colors as lower, and your output will already be sorted the way you'd triage it.

Ready to try for yourself?

Audit at the scale and pace your team can act on: high-confidence violations go to Asana, the items worth a second look stay in the folder, and the summary lands in Slack — from one prompt in Claude Cowork.
