Set a deliberate visual direction before any UI is built — the single biggest lever against generic AI output. Derives a posture from product-soul/PRD/specs, scores a curated archetype palette, then generates 2-3 GENUINELY DISTINCT directions and compares them side-by-side before committing to one. Load when the user asks to pick an aesthetic, choose a design direction, decide what a UI should feel like, explore visual options, says "what should this look like", "make it feel like [Linear/Apple/ Duolingo]", "give me design directions", "explore some looks", or when frontend-design routes here. Replaces design-archetype. Sub-skill of frontend-design.

Convert frontend code (Vite, React, Angular, Vue, etc.) to a Stitch Design by chaining static HTML extraction, design system extraction, and file upload. **ALWAYS** use this skill when the user's intent is to move existing web apps or React/Angular/Vue components into Stitch (e.g., requests to "save", "migrate", or "upload"). You must use this skill even for simple "save" operations, as it is the only way to ensure the design system is extracted and assets are properly linked.

Massimo Vignelli's complete design discipline, distilled from The Vignelli Canon.

Use this skill when visual quality and design identity matter for a PDF. CREATE (generate from scratch): "make a PDF", "generate a report", "write a proposal", "create a resume", "beautiful PDF", "professional document", "cover page", "polished PDF", "client-ready document". FILL (complete form fields): "fill in the form", "fill out this PDF", "complete the form fields", "write values into PDF", "what fields does this PDF have". REFORMAT (apply design to an existing doc): "reformat this document", "apply our style", "convert this Markdown/text to PDF", "make this doc look good", "re-style this PDF". This skill uses a token-based design system: color, typography, and spacing are derived from the document type and flow through every page. The output is print-ready. Prefer this skill when appearance matters, not just when any PDF output is needed.
