Establish a design source-of-truth (a DESIGN.md-style two-layer doc of tokens + rationale), build a lookbook that renders it, and wire a live-refresh preview server so visual work gets a fast edit→see feedback loop. Use when setting up or restructuring a design system / design tokens, creating a DESIGN.md or design source-of-truth, building a lookbook, or wanting live preview / live reload of design or marketing artifacts — landing pages, decks, one-pagers, marketing material previews. The visual analogue of the operator-seam test loop: it crystallises taste into determinism. Defers aesthetic taste (typography/color/motion choices) to the frontend-design skill.

From the source SKILL.md

<objective> Promode runs a fast feedback loop for logic: the headless operator seam gives an agent a deterministic pass/fail signal, and the discovery⇄determinism flywheel crystallises judgement into checks (see discovery-to-determinism). Visual/design work has no such loop by default — only an ad-hoc screenshot diff.
