What it is
This skill helps you document the visual design system of a website or application. Point it at a design or codebase, and it'll analyze and describe the typography choices, color palettes, layout patterns, and overall aesthetic vibe. The output is a clean markdown document that captures the design language for team alignment, brand guidelines, or design handoff.
