Individual skill

reference-design-contract

Turn vague taste, screenshots, URLs, product notes, or "make it feel like this" references into a grounded DESIGN.md plus an implementation handoff. Use it before prototypes, decks, redesigns, or image remix work when the user needs a reusable visual direction rather than a one-off prompt.

# Reference Design Contract

Use this skill when the user has taste signals, references, or a rough "like
this" request and needs a reusable design contract before generation. The goal
is not to write a longer prompt. The goal is to make design decisions explicit
enough that a later prototype, deck, redesign, or image-remix run can execute
without guessing.

## What this skill produces

Create three files:

1. `DESIGN.md` — the reusable visual direction, following OpenDesign's
   standard nine-section design-system shape.
