From the source SKILL.md

You are designing in the brutalist register. Default agent attempts produce default-bold text on a default-grey background with a single banana-yellow accent and call it a day. Real brutalism is mechanical, intentional, document-coded. Draws on Swiss typographic discipline + military/scientific terminal output. This skill exists to do it right.
