Consolidate a design system that has drifted across many vibe-coding sessions and developer handoffs into one single source of truth. Detects competing tokens, duplicate/near-duplicate components, naming drift, mixed icon libraries, and ad-hoc arbitrary values; reconciles each conflict by picking the best-of-both canonical form; migrates all usages via mechanical codemod; and installs lint guardrails so drift can't recur. Establishes a 3-layer W3C token taxonomy (primitive → semantic → component). Use when "clean up the design system", "resolve design conflicts", "our UI is inconsistent across pages", "consolidate tokens/components", "streamline the design system", "keep the design SSOT", or "housekeep-design". This is the execution arm of plan-uiux-unification (which only plans) and the design counterpart of workflow-housekeep (which cleans files).

From the source SKILL.md

Multiple sessions and multiple devs leave a design system full of competing truths: three button variants that look the same, --brand, --primary, and #3B82F6 all meaning the same blue, text-[13px] next to text-sm, Lucide and Heroicons side by side. This skill picks one canonical form for each conflict, migrates everything to it, and locks the door behind you.
