For posters, graphics and compositions rather than product screens. Design philosophy first, output second.
In the author’s words
Create beautiful visual art in .png and .pdf documents using design philosophy. You should use this skill when the user asks to create a poster, piece of art, design, or other static piece. Create original visual designs, never copying existing artists' work to avoid copyright violations.

Goes well with
emil-design-eng
The design-engineering house style behind Sonner and Vaul.
Emil's main skill. Mostly animation, with the UI-polish and component judgement that surrounds it: what to build, how far to push it, and when to stop.

prototype
Builds several genuinely different UI variants behind a live picker.
Flip through real implementations instead of arguing about descriptions, then promote the one that wins.

apple-design
Apple's interface and motion principles, translated for the web.
Distilled from the WWDC design talks. Gesture-driven UI, spring physics, interruptible transitions, translucent materials, optical sizing and the restraint underneath all of it.
