When to Use This Skill
Use this skill whenever you write prose for humans:
- Documentation, README files, technical explanations
- Commit messages, pull request descriptions
- Error messages, UI copy, help text, comments
- Reports, summaries, or any explanation
- Editing to improve clarity
If you're writing sentences for a human to read, use this skill.

Use when asked to watch, analyze, review, or understand video content.
6design-spec-extraction
Extract comprehensive JSON design specifications from visual sources including Figma exports, UI mockups, screenshots, or live website captures. Produces W3C DTCG-compliant output with component trees, suitable for code generation, design documentation, and developer handoff.
