What it does

AI creative director with recursive self-assessment: 20+ methodologies (SIT, TRIZ, Bisociation, SCAMPER, Synectics), 3-axis evaluation calibrated against Cannes/D&AD/HumanKind, 5-phase process from brief to presentation.

Open Design orchestration mode

When this skill is invoked inside Open Design, 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 Open Design 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.
