# Skill: Apply Aesthetic Choose and apply a design direction without breaking accessibility. ## Steps 1. **Brief Inference first (mandatory)** — before any tokens, name it: industry/domain, audience & tone, the one mood adjective the result must earn, motion depth, and the layout-family sequence (`taste/design-taste.md` → Brief Inference + Variance Mandate). Generating before deciding = slop. 2. Pick a direction in `taste/aesthetic-systems.md`: - An **archetype** (recipe mapped to our tokens), or - A **named library system** — browse with `python3 scripts/design_systems.py list` (or `search <term>` / `show <name>`); specs live in `design-systems/library/<name>/DESIGN.md`. 3. Apply the **Library Contract** (in `aesthetic-systems.md`): re-point `semantic.*` tokens to the chosen system's color roles; map typography/spacing/radius/shadow/motion to `tokens/*.json`. 4. **Verify contrast** of every mapped color pair (`scripts/contrast.py` / `a11y-audit`). A brand value that fails must be adjusted — taste never overrides POUR. 5. Add motion per `taste/motion-choreography.md`; run the pre-flight aesthetic check in `design-taste.md`. ## Output Updated/overridden semantic tokens + notes on type/space/motion, then render via `design-code`. Confirm the result passes both the aesthetic check and accessibility.
