When to Use
Use this skill when you need direction and intent for frontend design. Use with design when defining purpose, tone, domain, color world, and review bar; includes cross-domain lens from cinema, architecture, marketing, UX, automotive, industrial design.
Apply with the design skill on every design task. Do this before coding.

accesslint-diff
Diff a live page's accessibility violations against a baseline — by default compares uncommitted changes (stash-based), or pass --branch [<name>] to diff against a branch. Reports only new violations introduced, violations fixed, and pre-existing count. Use `scan` for a full audit with no diffing.
accesslint-scan
Audit a live page for accessibility issues, locate each WCAG violation precisely, and return a selector-grounded fix worklist without editing.
accint-commitments
Triage acc's open promises and close them with honest real-world verdicts via acc_act(runtime="outcome").
accint-frames
Drain acc's deliberation queue — open/waiting brain_frames checkpointed by headless runs — via acc_act(runtime="continue").
accint-solve
Route a goal through acc's scored-memory loop via acc_act(runtime="solve"); deliberate any returned brain_frame and submit via continue.
ad-creative
Create, iterate, and scale paid ad creative for Google Ads, Meta, LinkedIn, TikTok, and similar platforms. Use when generating headlines, descriptions, primary text, or large sets of ad variations for testing and performance optimization.
