Port the two genuinely-novel ideas from Command Code's /design skill into
our existing claude-design skill (skill-only, zero model-tool footprint):
- Surface-First: commit to one of 7 surface archetypes (Monitor/Operate/
Compare/Configure/Decide/Explore/Command) before any visual tokens. Most
AI design slop is compositional, not cosmetic — conditioning generation on
a surface choice collapses entropy the way a CoT step does. Workflow step 3.
- Slop Diagnostic: the ~10 tells that account for ~90% of the 'this is AI'
signal, as a score-out-of-10 self-audit. Diagnose-then-treat: the report is
context not a to-do list; repair only what fired, matched to the tell
(re-layout vs recolor vs de-decorate). Workflow step 7 (Verify).
Did NOT clone /design's 16-mode CLI, proprietary reference corpus, or make it
a core tool. Docs page regenerated via generate-skill-docs.py.
