Use when brainstorming visual directions, offering mockup variants, or implementing an approved generated design; do not stop at the mockups or the first code approximation.</h2>\n<h1>Design With Images</h1>\n<p>The deliverable is the working design, visibly matched to the approved reference.\nImage generation explores the target; real screenshots prove the implementation.\nFor an exploration-only request, deliver the options and wait for a selection.</p>\n<h2>Workflow</h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Frame the decision.</strong> Read the relevant design skill and capture the actual\nsurface. Pin what may change and what must stay: content, framing, palette,\ninteractions and surrounding UI. Keep the original capture.</li>\n<li><strong>Generate alternatives.</strong> Use the available image-generation skill/tool with\nthat capture as a reference. Produce a small, labelled set of distinct visual\ndirections. Show them as concepts, never as screenshots of implemented code.</li>\n<li><strong>Freeze the chosen target.</strong> Use an existing approval or delegated design discretion; otherwise obtain\nthe user's selection. Preserve the selected image, prompt and provenance in the project's\nreference area. Name its visible requirements: spacing and padding, silhouette,\ntypography, opacity, edge softness, hierarchy and placement. Do not substitute\nthe prompt's requested properties for what the selected image actually shows.\nBefore coding, complete the reference measurements in\n<a href=\"../compare-screenshots/references/reference-landmarks.md\">Reference Landmarks</a>.</li>\n<li><strong>Implement the design.</strong> Use the project's real components and visual\nprimitives. A generated mockup is not source code, and easy CSS is not evidence\nof fidelity. Preserve intended relationships when implementation constraints\nrequire a different mechanism. Label generated text errors or invented details\nas artifacts; do not ship them merely to match pixels.</li>\n<li><strong>Compare and iterate.</strong> Capture the real implementation at comparable scale,\nframing and state. Run <a href=\"../compare-screenshots/SKILL.md\">compare-screenshots</a>\nagainst the <strong>approved concept</strong>, with full context and tight crops of the\nchanged features. Complete its boundary/overlap checks: compare each side\nof the effect and any foreground it crosses, not just overall softness and\nspacing. Keep the per-feature pass/fix/uncertain record through handover.\nA before/after code screenshot comparison is supplementary;\nit proves change, not fidelity to the selected design. List the material\nmismatches, fix them in code, recapture and compare again. Continue until each\nintended feature matches or the user explicitly revises the target. Passing\nfunctional tests, a lower distance score, or \"close enough\" from memory is\nnot a stopping condition. Disclose constraints as soon as they emerge.</li>\n<li><strong>Verify and hand over.</strong> Check the real design in its relevant states and\nsizes, including crowded and low-contrast cases. Use\n<a href=\"../screenshot-critique/SKILL.md\">screenshot-critique</a> for an unprimed review;\nshow the approved reference beside the actual result, clearly labelled, using\n<a href=\"../preview-shots/SKILL.md\">preview-shots</a> where available. Resolve material\nfeedback through the same comparison loop before claiming completion or\npublishing. Stabilize this visual gate before running expensive closeout\nsuites; use focused checks while the design is still changing. Preserve existing\nauthorization; do not invent another approval gate when the selected design and shipping action are already approved.</li>\n</ol>\n<h2>Rules</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Keep concept, previous implementation and current implementation distinct.\nNever replace the approved reference with the latest code screenshot.</li>\n<li>Keep actual-size captures as primary evidence. Label derived alignments;\nnever change application scale or crop away defects to improve agreement.</li>\n<li>Judge generated references by their intended design features, not literal\nequality of re-rendered text or scenery. Document such exclusions explicitly;\nthey are not permission to excuse different padding, shapes or hierarchy.</li>\n<li>A selected concept is a requirement, not inspiration to reinterpret silently.\nIf it cannot be implemented faithfully, show the specific conflict and seek a\nrevised target rather than presenting an approximation as finished.</li>\n</ul>\n","files":[{"path":"SKILL.md","sizeBytes":4482,"isText":true}],"reviewScore":null,"reviewSummary":null,"trust":{"provenance":"trusted-source-unreviewed","notice":"Community-authored content, reproduced verbatim and not vetted as instructions.
