visual-design
SolidGuides and reviews the visual design and brand identity of UI components for web and React Native — color systems, typography pairing, visual hierarchy, signature details, and named style directions (minimal, swiss, editorial, brutalist, neo-brutalist, glass, soft-UI, terminal, playful, retro). Owns the generative, brand-aware side; defers WCAG contrast math, size minimums, and dark-mode mechanics back to /ux. Modes: `guide` (default — build a component from scratch), `review` (audit existing visuals against direction), `direction` (propose a style direction for a new product or feature). Triggers on "visual design", "make this look good", "brand identity", "style direction", "improve the visuals", "review the look", "does this look generic", "/visual-design".

design-brief
Use when a work item has real UI surface and its visual direction isn't settled - a request to make something look good, design a landing page or a screen, pick an aesthetic or a design system, fix a UI that reads as generic AI slop, or turn a vague "looks nice" into visual done-criteria the loop can verify. This is the design front-end `/groundwork` composes to settle foundation tokens and `/plan-grill` composes for a UI feature. Composes the host's design skill and sources one on a gap; hardcodes no aesthetic or stack. Not for auditing existing UI code against accessibility or style guidelines - that is a host design-review skill (`/web-design-guidelines`) or `/review`.
design
Audit and fix the design of interfaces that already exist in files, across 17 modes (checkup, smell, review, deslop, typeset, recolor, motion, interaction, relayout, responsive, redesign, tokenize, setup, finish, refine, voice, surface). Use this whenever the user types "/design" or "design" followed by a mode name or a target file. Also use it, without waiting for the word "design", whenever someone says a screen looks generic, AI-generated, templated, sloppy, boring, flat, weak, unfinished, or "like every other landing page", or asks to audit, critique, review, de-slop, restyle, recolor, retype, relayout, tighten, polish, or ship-check an existing page or component. Trigger on complaints about a hero, feature cards, spacing, type hierarchy, color palette, motion, hover or focus states, empty and error states, dark mode, or responsive behavior in code that is already written. For inventing a brand new interface from nothing, prefer the frontend-design skill; this skill is for UI that is already in files.
web-design
Apply when designing, building, or reviewing web UI / frontend — visual polish, typography, color, layout, spacing, motion, accessibility, and UX copy. Use to avoid the generic "AI default" look and to make deliberate, restrained design choices. Shipped and kept current by Loom.
