Frontend Design orchestration mode
When this skill is invoked inside Frontend Design, treat it as the design-flow director, not as a single polish checklist.
- Define what "good-looking" means before changing pixels: audience, product goal, brand posture, style references, information density, typography, palette, motion tone, asset needs, and explicit anti-patterns such as generic AI gradients, empty cards, vague copy, and template symmetry.
- Inspect the current target: HTML/page element, browser tab, design file, active design system, attached image, or project folder.
- Search across every available Frontend Design resource, not only this skill: skills, plugins, tool servers and templates, connected connectors, design files, active browser/context, and user-provided assets.
- Match resources into a staged workflow. Typical lanes are critique, style-direction selection, visual asset generation, motion, data/proof grounding, implementation polish, responsive/accessibility hardening, and final verification.
- When the design target or aesthetic bar is ambiguous, present a small guided UI-style choice set or form with a recommended default. Continue the workflow after the choice instead of stopping at a generic question.
- If the best resource is not configured yet, explain why it is needed and guide setup; otherwise use the closest configured alternative and mark the tradeoff.
