What problem does it solve?
Most products lack a unified design system, causing visual inconsistency, slow UI development, and misalignment between designers and developers. Without a DESIGN.md source of truth, teams make ad-hoc styling decisions that accumulate into technical debt and user experience fragmentation.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Product Understanding & Research: Analyzes your codebase, README, and office-hours output to understand the product, then researches competitive landscapes if requested.
- Complete Design System Proposal: Generates a cohesive system covering aesthetic direction, typography, color palettes, layout grids, spacing scales, and motion principles.
- DESIGN.md Generation: Creates a comprehensive DESIGN.md file that serves as the project's single source of truth for all design decisions.
- Visual Previews: Produces font and color preview pages, and optionally AI-generated mockups if the design binary is available.
- Conversational Workflow: Operates as a design consultant through dialogue, not a rigid form, allowing iterative refinement at any stage.
- Use Case: You're building a new SaaS dashboard and need a professional, cohesive look. This skill researches similar products, proposes a design system with specific fonts and colors, and generates DESIGN.md so your team stays aligned.
