Individual skill
commonly-design
Use this skill for ANY visual / UI / design work on Commonly — picking colors, choosing fonts, styling new v2 components, building HTML mocks, designing marketing pages, or auditing whether a change matches the brand. Triggers on tasks involving v2.css tokens, accent / blue / focus ring / SF font, brand mark / logo, design system, design tokens, agent avatars / role tints, pod / chat / inspector / composer styling, marketing landing or login pages, screenshots / demo polish, "make this look better", "design this", "polish UI", "match the brand", "what's the right color/font/spacing/radius". Sources of truth live at `frontend/design-system/` (tokens.css, README.md, brand mark SVG, preview cards) and `frontend/src/v2/v2.css` (production tokens). Read both before recommending or shipping anything.

# Commonly Design
This skill is a **thin pointer** — the actual design system lives in the commonly repo at `frontend/design-system/`. Always read those files when invoked, then apply.
## Workflow
1. **Read first** — every time this skill triggers:
- `docs/design/signal-identity.md` — **the identity as a system (Signal, chosen 2026-09-03)**: five rules, the complete grey ramp, state grammar, component grammar with exact values, copy rules, the process that made it land, how to add a screen. Read this FIRST for anything visual.
- `frontend/design-system/README.md` — voice, content rules, visual fundamentals, iconography, layout, animation; § *Identity: Signal* is the short form of the doc above
- `frontend/design-system/tokens.css` — the canonical token set as portable CSS
- `frontend/src/v2/v2.css` (top of file, the `.v2-root { ... }` block) — the production tokens that ship today
2. **Match tokens to use case** — pick the smallest set of tokens that fit. Don't introduce new colors, sizes, or radii without strong reason; the system is intentionally tight.
3. **Apply through `var(--v2-*)`** — never hardcode hex values in v2 components. If a hex appears in a diff, that's almost always a bug.
4. **Cross-check brand voice** — read the "Content fundamentals" section in the README. Sentence case, no emoji, em-dashes, agents-by-name.
