Solid

Extract, define, and apply design DNA across three dimensions: design system (tokens), design style (qualitative feel), and visual effects (Canvas, WebGL, 3D, particles, shaders, scroll effects, etc.). Use this skill when: (1) a user wants to see the full 3-dimension design structure/schema, (2) a user provides images, screenshots, or URLs of reference designs and wants them analyzed into a structured JSON profile covering all three dimensions, (3) a user has a Design DNA JSON and content and wants a design generated from it, or (4) any combination of these phases. Triggers on "design DNA", "extract design style", "analyze design", "design tokens from reference", "generate design from JSON", "design system from screenshot", "design profile", "style guide JSON", "visual effects analysis", "design with effects", "3d design analysis".

# Design DNA A 3-phase workflow for extracting, structuring, and applying design identity across three dimensions: 1. **Design System** — measurable tokens (color, typography, spacing, layout, shape, elevation, motion, components) 2. **Design Style** — qualitative perception (mood, visual language, composition, imagery, interaction feel, brand voice) 3. **Visual Effects** — special rendering (Canvas, WebGL, 3D, particles, shaders, scroll effects, cursor effects, SVG animations, glassmorphism, etc.) ## Phases ### Phase 1: Structure — Output the Schema When the user asks for the structural dimensions or schema: 1. Read [references/schema.md](references/schema.md) 2. Present the full schema with field descriptions 3. Explain the three dimensions and their roles: - **design_system**: What you can measure — exact hex values, pixel sizes, rem scales - **design_style**: What you can feel — mood, personality, composition strategy - **visual_effects**: What you can see but can't express in CSS alone — WebGL scenes, particle systems, shader distortions, scroll-driven animations 4. Ask if the user wants to customize or extend any dimensions ### Phase 2: Analyze — Extract DNA from References When the user provides images, screenshots, or links representing a target design style: 1. Read [references/schema.md](references/schema.md) for the full field list 2. For each reference provided: - If image/screenshot: analyze visual properties directly - If URL: fetch and a...

Designer's eye plan review — interactive, like CEO and Eng review. Rates each design dimension 0-10, explains what would make it a 10, then fixes the plan to get there. Works in plan mode. For live site visual audits, use /design-review. Use when asked to "review the design plan" or "design critique". Proactively suggest when the user has a plan with UI/UX components that should be reviewed before implementation.
