What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a structured, iterative process for designing and implementing visual themes, ensuring consistency and maintainability by building from foundational layers upwards.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Layered Design Application: Apply and validate design layers (reset, tokens, typography, colors, etc.) in strict order.
  • Visual Validation Workflow: Integrates with local development servers and Playwright for immediate visual feedback.
  • Syntax Theme Export: Generate syntax highlighting themes for various platforms from the Base16 palette.
  • Use Case: A designer needs to create a new visual theme for the blog. They use design init to start, then design layer commands to incrementally build and validate each aspect of the theme, ensuring a cohesive and robust final product.
