What problem does it solve? Starting a new project's UI without a design system leads to inconsistent, generic-looking interfaces. This Skill acts as a design consultant that researches your product space, proposes a coherent design system (aesthetic, typography, color, layout, spacing, motion), and writes DESIGN.md as your project's design source of truth. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Competitive Design Research: Uses WebSearch and an optional headless browser to analyze what top products in your space are doing visually, then synthesizes findings across tried-and-true patterns, trends, and first-principles reasoning. - Complete Design Proposal: Presents one coherent package covering aesthetic direction, decoration level, layout approach, color palette with hex values, typography with specific font recommendations, spacing, and motion — with a SAFE/RISK breakdown showing where to follow category norms and where to differentiate. - Outside Design Voices: Optionally runs parallel design critiques via Codex and a Claude subagent for independent design direction proposals. - Preview Pages & DESIGN.md: Generates font and color preview pages and writes DESIGN.md as the durable design reference. - Use Case: You're starting a new SaaS dashboard with no brand guidelines. Run this Skill to get a researched, opinionated design system proposal, preview the fonts and colors, and commit DESIGN.md before writing any UI code. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to run /design-consultation to create a design system and DESIGN.md for your project.
