Documentation

Read the README.md file within this skill, and explore the other available files.

If creating visual artifacts (slides, mocks, throwaway prototypes, etc), copy assets out and create static HTML files for the user to view. If working on production code, you can copy assets and read the rules here to become an expert in designing with this brand.

If the user invokes this skill without any other guidance, ask them what they want to build or design, ask some questions, and act as an expert designer who outputs HTML artifacts or production code, depending on the need.

Quickstart

  • Primary accent: Indigo #3F51B5 (portfolio). Cooler blue #2980b9 → #1a6da3 gradient for the blog sticky nav only.

  • Section eyebrows are lowercase + mono + underlined with a 40%-opacity indigo wash. Service titles are UPPERCASE with 2px letter-spacing.
  • Voice: first-person, confident, named frameworks (SOC 2, zero trust, DevSecOps). Avoid generic marketing language.
