Design Guidelines Skill

Create the DESIGN_GUIDELINES.md document that defines HOW to design interfaces for your customer. This document drives all UI/UX: components, layouts, animations, colors, typography—everything visual.

Prerequisite: CUSTOMER.md must exist. Design without customer definition is just aesthetic preference. The interface must resonate with WHO you're building for.
