Aesthetic Application

Summary

Translates a named aesthetic into a complete, developer-ready design specification: a structured token specification table, cultural marker lists, component-level notes, and a flags section for conflicts. All decisions are concrete and implementable — never abstract mood descriptions. Covers all 7 dimensions of the aesthetic framework.

Compatibility / Tooling

This skill intentionally does not declare allowed-tools frontmatter. It is portable across Agent Skills-compatible runtimes and relies on reading this SKILL.md plus skill-local references/ markdown files and the installed aesthetic-literacy dictionary. If an agent has file-reading tools, use them to load those files; otherwise ask the user to provide the relevant excerpt.

When to Apply This Skill

Apply when:

• The user asks to "make it look like X", "apply this aesthetic", or "design tokens for X"
• The user needs a developer-handoff spec from an aesthetic direction
• The user asks for CSS variables, design tokens, or component notes grounded in an aesthetic
• The user has supplied grounded visual values that need to be formatted as tokens
