Generate a design tokens file (CSS variables or Tailwind config) based on a chosen aesthetic philosophy, with light and dark mode palettes, spacing scale, type ramp, and component-level tokens. Use when starting a new project, establishing a visual system, setting up tokens, or mentions "tokens" or "design system".

This repo contains 7 individual skills — each has its own dedicated page.
Break a design brief into an ordered checklist of independently buildable tasks using vertical slices. Saves as a markdown checklist. Use when user wants to break down work, create tasks from a brief, plan implementation order, or mentions "tasks" or "breakdown".
Create a design brief through an interactive interview, codebase exploration, and experience design decisions. Saved as a markdown file in the project. Use when user wants to write a design brief, plan a new feature or page, define a UI direction, or mentions "brief".
Run the full design-to-build workflow as a guided sequence. Orchestrates all designer skills in order, from grilling through review. Use when user wants to go through the complete design process, start a project from scratch, run the full flow, or mentions "design flow" or "full workflow".
Run a structured design critique against the brief and codebase. Checks visual hierarchy, consistency, responsiveness, accessibility, and aesthetic fidelity. Use when user wants a design review, critique, QA pass, polish pass, or mentions "review" after building.
Build distinctive, production-grade frontend interfaces with high design quality, guided by named aesthetic philosophies. Use when building components, pages, or applications. Generates working code with exceptional attention to aesthetic details and creative choices that avoid generic AI output.
Interview the user relentlessly about a plan or design until reaching shared understanding, resolving each branch of the decision tree. Use when user wants to stress-test a plan, get grilled on their design, challenge an approach, or mentions "grill me".
Define the structural layer of a product or site before visual design begins. Covers navigation, content hierarchy, page structure, URL patterns, and user flows. Use when user wants to plan site structure, define navigation, map user flows, organize content, or mentions "IA" or "information architecture".
Convert Mermaid code blocks in Markdown files to PNG images using the mermaid.ink API.
This skill should be used when the user wants to push code to Railway, says "railway up", "deploy", "deploy to railway", "ship", or "push". For initial setup or creating services, use new skill. For Docker images, use environment skill.
Implement, review, or improve data visualizations using Swift Charts. Use when building bar, line, area, point, pie, donut, or iOS 26 3D charts; when adding chart selection, scrolling, annotations, axes, scales, legends, or foregroundStyle grouping; when plotting functions with BarPlot, LinePlot, AreaPlot, PointPlot, Chart3D, or SurfacePlot; or when creating heat maps, Gantt charts, grouped bars, sparklines, threshold lines, or spatial visualizations.
Create data-driven charts with Vega-Lite (declarative) and Vega (programmatic). Best for statistical visualization of numeric data — bar, line, scatter, heatmap, area, radar charts, and word clouds.
Build responsive, mobile-first layouts using fluid containers, flexible units, media queries, and touch-friendly design that works across all screen sizes. Use this skill when creating or modifying UI layouts, responsive grids, breakpoint styles, mobile navigation, or any interface that needs to adapt to different screen sizes. Apply when working with responsive CSS, media queries, viewport settings, flexbox/grid layouts, mobile-first styling, breakpoint definitions (mobile, tablet, desktop), touch target sizing, relative units (rem, em, %), image optimization for different screens, or testing layouts across multiple devices. Use for any task involving multi-device support, responsive design patterns, or adaptive layouts.
Use this skill to automate visual testing and UI interaction verification using browser automation after deploying features.
