- /algorithmic-color-palette
Derive a full UI colour palette algorithmically from one or two brand colours. Darker and lighter variants for interactive states, desaturated greys from the brand hue for borders and backgrounds, and semantic colours that feel coherent with the brand rather than generic. Use
Open skill - /authentic-product-representation
Product visuals — hero shots, demos, screenshots, landing-page panels — must reproduce the real product, not a stylised poster of it. Design with real content and real data, mirror the actual output the product generates, keep every label and number truthful, and refuse
Open skill - /brand-visual-language
A brand's visual tone — playful or serious, rounded or angular — should be consistent across all UI elements. Shape language in typography, border-radius, and iconography communicates personality before a single word is read. Use when establishing a design system, choosing icon
