GRC Engineering Club — Design System

The open-source brand kit for GRC Engineering Club. Colors, type, logos, slide templates, UI kits, and an agent skill — everything you need to make anything in-brand: a conference deck, a sponsor page, a LinkedIn carousel, a merch concept, a landing page for a partnership, a meetup poster.

Not just a book club. A movement. From checkbox GRC to engineered systems.

If you're a Club member and you're building something that should look like it's part of the Club, start here.


What's in here

BRAND.md Brand bible — voice, palette, type, layout, iconography rules

slides/ 12 ready-to-edit slide templates in a <deck-stage> shell
ui_kits/website/ Marketing-site component recreation

source_decks/ Original Academy .pptx decks (reference content)
SKILL.md Claude Code / Claude Agent SDK manifest
PUBLISHING.md Step-by-step: install as a skill, publish to your audience

Use this for

  • Slides & decks. Open slides/index.html in a browser, duplicate the template, swap the copy. 12 layouts — title, section, stat, quote, code, comparison, closer, and more.
  • LinkedIn carousels & graphics. The palette, type, and Lucide icons give you a consistent visual language. Use the brand mark sparingly as a cover graphic.
  • Landing pages. Grab colors_and_type.css, drop it into your page, compose with the patterns from ui_kits/website/.
  • Merch concepts. Check assets/merch/ for the existing product shots and brand voice in BRAND.md before mocking anything new.
  • Meetup & conference assets. Speaker slides, sponsor pages, event posters — same kit.
  • Agent-assisted design. Install as a Claude Code skill (see PUBLISHING.md) and ask Claude to build something in-brand for you.

Quick start

1. Use the raw files

git clone https://github.com/GRCEngClub/designsystem.git
cd designsystem
open preview/colors-brand.html   # see the palette
open slides/index.html           # see the slide templates

Read BRAND.md to internalize the rules — one accent color (orange), dark-mode only, Inter heavy weights, Lucide icons, builder-energy voice.

2. Install as a Claude Code skill

From any repo you want Claude to design for:

mkdir -p .claude/skills/grc-engineering-club-design
cd .claude/skills/grc-engineering-club-design
git clone https://github.com/GRCEngClub/designsystem.git .

Then in Claude Code:

"Use the grc-engineering-club-design skill to build a landing page for a Wiz partnership."

The full skill install flow is in PUBLISHING.md.

3. Drop the tokens into an existing site

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/GRCEngClub/designsystem/main/colors_and_type.css" />

(For production, vendor the CSS and fonts — don't hot-link.)


The rules, in one screen

  • One accent color: orange #E8650A. Never blues, greens, rainbow gradients, or off-brand accents.
  • Dark mode only. Page #0D0D0D, alt section #1A1A1A, cards #2A2A2A. Alternate page/alt per section for vertical rhythm.
  • Inter, heavy weights. Display H1 = font-black (900). Section H2 = font-extrabold (800). Eyebrows = uppercase font-bold orange.
  • Lucide icons only. Default stroke. Orange well for emphasis: rounded-full bg-orange/10 text-orange. No emoji.
  • Card recipe. bg-[#2A2A2A] rounded-xl p-6 border-[#3A3A3A] hover:border-orange/50. No drop shadows on cards — shadows only on CTAs (warm orange glow).
  • Voice. Direct, imperative, second-person. "Stop scrolling, start engineering." "Pick your path. Start building today." Never vendor-speak.

Full detail in BRAND.md.

Members — we'd love your additions. Some things that'd be awesome:

  • New slide templates (added to slides/)
  • Additional UI kit recreations for surfaces we don't cover yet
  • Social-image templates (LinkedIn carousel, Twitter/X card, YouTube thumbnail)
  • Translated voice examples in other languages
  • Corrections to BRAND.md when we get something wrong

See CONTRIBUTING.md for how to propose changes.
