Hero Image Art Direction

Use this skill to make the first viewport immediately specific, inspectable, and composed.

Workflow

1. Inspect the project, media assets, framework image/video APIs, responsive breakpoints, accessibility requirements, and verification commands. 2. Read [Hero Image Art Direction Guide](references/hero-image-art-direction-guide.md) for detailed direction before changing visuals or code. 3. Define the media's job: proof, desire, navigation, instruction, atmosphere, conversion, or accessibility. 4. Implement with stable dimensions, responsive crops, useful fallbacks, and real content hierarchy. 5. Inspect rendered desktop and mobile states, then refine crop, contrast, loading, labels, captions, and polish.

Scoped execution

Apply the [shared web contract](../website-operating-rules/references/scoped-web-contract.md) once when execution crosses phases; reuse it if already read. Load only the specialist guidance relevant to the requested surface and deliverable.
