# Design Skill

This is the standalone, shareable version of the reusable skill in `design-skill/SKILL.md`. It is intentionally self-contained: a new implementation should not need the existing website, screenshots, proprietary assets, or copied CSS to reproduce the style.

## Design direction

Make the page feel like an independent magazine translated into a product site:

- oversized, tightly tracked display type and generous whitespace;
- warm paper, stone, peach, caramel, and near-black ink;
- hairline rules, editorial labels, rounded controls, and sparse arrows;
- one quiet abstract motif such as concentric orbit lines or a cropped circle;
- an asymmetric hero with a dominant copy column and a smaller note/artifact column;
- slow, useful reveals and hover lifts with reduced-motion support.

Avoid neon, glossy gradients, generic SaaS blue, dense card grids, excessive shadows, and icon-heavy navigation.

## Default landing-page structure

1. Header with centered wordmark, simple text navigation, and one dark CTA.
2. Two-column hero: eyebrow, short headline, lede, primary CTA, secondary link, thesis note, abstract proof panel, and scroll cue.
3. Warm showcase section containing a
