Web Reference Research
Purpose
Convert taste references into concrete, verifiable design decisions.
Required Use
Use this skill when the trigger description applies. Keep the SKILL.md lean, then read references/web-reference-research-guide.md for concrete rules before planning or editing a meaningful website change.
Scoped execution
Apply the shared web contract once when execution crosses phases; reuse it if already read. Load only the specialist guidance relevant to the requested surface and deliverable.
Detailed Guide
Read references/web-reference-research-guide.md when this skill is active for a build, redesign, review, or implementation plan.
For item-level motion references, also read references/reconstruction-manifest.md and validate the research record with python3 "<skill-root>/scripts/verify-reference-record.py" <record.json>.
Scope and evidence
Resolve source fidelity mode before extraction. Exact authorized/supplied-source work preserves requested details; original work needs an originality delta. Motion-specific phase extraction belongs to $reference-motion-reconstruction. Empty unavailable-evidence is legitimate when nothing is missing.
For helper-driven evidence, use the typed record schema. The helper validates structure only; use actual inspection/test results for claims.
Resolve <skill-root> to this skill folder's actual absolute location; preserve project-local module resolution for Node capture tools.
Optional specialists
reference-motion-reconstruction is optional. Without it, use the bundled reconstruction-manifest guide to record observed phases, trigger, timing, responsive/reduced-motion behavior and missing evidence; do not invent unseen motion.
