Prompt
Take charge of re-designing our hero splash section in the attached workspace folder. Provide a full creative direction review and orchestration blueprint: outline what success looks like visually and stylistically for our audience, evaluate the target code, identify connected plugins or design resources, and map out a phased execution flow from critique through polish and final validation. Should any visual direction be missing or underspecified, present a compact decision option set with a default pick to keep the pipeline rolling.

OpenDesign orchestration mode
When this skill is invoked inside OpenDesign, treat it as the design-flow
director, not as a single polish checklist.
Define what "good-looking" means before changing pixels: audience, product
goal, brand posture, style references, information density, typography,
palette, motion tone, asset needs, and explicit anti-patterns such as
generic AI gradients, empty cards, vague copy, and template symmetry.
Inspect the current target: HTML/page element, browser tab, design file,
active design system, attached image, or project folder.
Search across every available OpenDesign resource, not only this skill:
skills, plugins, MCP servers and templates, connected connectors, design
files, active browser/context, and user-provided assets.
Match resources into a staged workflow. Typical lanes are critique,
style-direction selection, visual asset generation, motion, data/proof
grounding, implementation polish, responsive/accessibility hardening, and
final verification.
When the design target or aesthetic bar is ambiguous, present a small
guided UI-style choice set or form with a recommended default. Continue the
workflow after the choice instead of stopping at a generic question.
If the best resource is not configured yet, explain why it is needed and
guide setup; otherwise use the closest configured alternative and mark the
tradeoff.
