Individual skill
aesthetic-foundations
Inject aesthetic principles from painting, photography, graphic design, and Eastern visual tradition into any visual/design decision. Use when reviewing UI/UX, making typography/color/layout/spacing choices, evaluating a screenshot, or when user asks "does this look good" / "how to improve this design" / "审美". Loads composition theory (rule of thirds, visual weight, leading lines), color theory (Munsell, Albers, Itten 7 contrasts), grid systems (Müller-Brockmann, 8pt), Gestalt hierarchy, ma/negative-space, and references masters (Vermeer, Mondrian, Rothko, Hopper, Sargent, Bresson, Avedon, Saul Leiter, 杉本博司, Rams, Vignelli, Tschichold, Saul Bass, 原研哉, 八大山人, 倪瓒). Not a web/CSS framework checklist — complements rather than replaces frontend-design.

# Aesthetic Foundations
这个 skill 在你接到视觉判断任务时, **先把审美词汇激活**, 然后再开始评审或建议.
没有它的话默认会滑回"通用 web 风格": 圆角、Material 阴影、彩虹色 badge — 那不是审美, 那是肌肉记忆.
---
## 触发后第一件事
**别立刻给答案. 先做一次 [critique-protocol](critique-protocol.md) 7 步走**:
1. 三秒第一印象 — 眼睛先落在哪?
2. 眯眼测试 — 层次还在吗?
3. 灰度测试 — 转黑白还能不能用?
