Skill: Redesign & Audit

Audit-first redesign that preserves behavior.

Steps

Read workflows/redesign-audit.md (the full Scan → Diagnose → Direct → Apply → Verify sequence + Output Completeness).
Scan the codebase: framework, styling method (→ route to the matching frameworks/ adapter), token reality, components, what must be preserved.
Diagnose with the Banned Defaults checklist (taste/design-taste.md) + the review rubric (design-review skill). Produce a prioritized findings table.
Direct: choose an archetype/system (apply-aesthetic skill) that fits the brand.
Apply in order — tokens first, then typography/spacing, then component states, then motion — without changing routes/data/markup semantics (except a11y fixes).
Verify: re-run design-review + a11y-audit; smoke-test every previously working flow; dark mode + responsive spot-check. Run scripts/validate_contrast.py on the token source and scripts/lint_hardcodes.py over the changed code.

Guardrails

Never sacrifice a working feature for aesthetics. Never ship a brand color that fails contrast. Never remove existing accessibility affordances. Deliver complete files — no placeholders.

Single-theme consistency (critical for multi-page apps)

Consolidate to ONE shared token theme and make every page consume it — a redesign that leaves different pages on different palettes has failed. Replace per-page/ad-hoc colors with semantic tokens; verify with scripts/lint_hardcodes.py that no page reintroduces off-theme values. Theme switches must come from the single token source, not page edits (.claude/rules/tokens-and-color.md → Single-Theme Consistency).

# Skill: Redesign & Audit

Audit-first redesign that preserves behavior.

## Steps
1. Read `workflows/redesign-audit.md` (the full Scan → Diagnose → Direct → Apply → Verify sequence + Output Completeness).
2. **Scan** the codebase: framework, styling method (→ route to the matching `frameworks/` adapter), token reality, components, what must be preserved.
3. **Diagnose** with the Banned Defaults checklist (`taste/design-taste.md`) + the review rubric (`design-review` skill). Produce a prioritized findings table.
4. **Direct**: choose an archetype/system (`apply-aesthetic` skill) that fits the brand.
5. **Apply** in order — tokens first, then typography/spacing, then component states, then motion — without changing routes/data/markup semantics (except a11y fixes).
6. **Verify**: re-run `design-review` + `a11y-audit`; smoke-test every previously working flow; dark mode + responsive spot-check. Run `scripts/validate_contrast.py` on the token source and `scripts/lint_hardcodes.py` over the changed code.

## Guardrails
Never sacrifice a working feature for aesthetics. Never ship a brand color that fails contrast. Never remove existing accessibility affordances. Deliver complete files — no placeholders.

## Single-theme consistency (critical for multi-page apps)
Consolidate to ONE shared token theme and make **every page** consume it — a redesign that leaves different pages on different palettes has failed. Replace per-page/ad-hoc colors with semantic tokens; verify with `scripts/lint_hardcodes.py` that no page reintroduces off-theme values. Theme switches must come from the single token source, not page edits (`.claude/rules/tokens-and-color.md` → Single-Theme Consistency).
