# Skill: design-system
Generates three artifacts that together define a brand's visual system:
1. **`DESIGN.md`** — portable spec following the [Google design.md format](https://github.com/google-labs-code/design.md). YAML frontmatter (machine-readable tokens) + 8 markdown sections (human rationale).
2. **`tokens.css`** — CSS custom properties exported from the YAML, consumed by `design-ui-components` and every platform skill.
3. **`showcase.html`** — single self-contained HTML page that renders every token in context. The visual proof that the system holds together.
## When to use
- After `/design-plan` has produced `DESIGN-PLAN.md`
- Before any platform artifact skill (LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube, etc.) — they all read `DESIGN.md` and `tokens.css`
- When iterating on brand: re-run to regenerate downstream files when the plan changes
## Inputs
- **Required:** brand slug (e.g. `shane-personal`)
- **Preferred:** existing `./design/<brand-slug>/DESIGN-PLAN.md` (read with Read tool)
- **Fallback:** if no plan exists, ask the user for a 3-question inline brief (visual direction, voice adjectives, hard NOs)
## Outputs
```
./design/<brand-slug>/
DESIGN.md # Google spec format
tokens.css # CSS custom properties
showcase.html # visual proof
```
## Steps
### 1. Locate and read the plan
```bash
test -f ./design/<brand-slug>/DESIGN-PLAN.md
```
If present, read it. If absent, ask the user 3 quick questions (visual direction, voice adjectives, hard N
