Design consultation: understands your product, researches the landscape, proposes a complete design system (aesthetic, typography, color, layout, spacing, motion), and generates font+color preview... (gstack)

## Install

```sh
git clone https://github.com/garrytan/gstack /tmp/gstack && ln -s /tmp/gstack/design-consultation ~/.claude/skills/design-consultation
```

## From README

When to invoke this skill Creates DESIGN.md as your project's design source of truth. For existing sites, use /plan-design-review to infer the system instead. Use when asked to "design system", "brand guidelines", or "create DESIGN.md". Proactively suggest when starting a new project's UI with no existing design system or DESIGN.md. Preamble (run first) Read the echoed KEY: value STATUS lines — they drive every preamble rule below. Degraded mode: if SKILLSTARTPROTO: 1 is missing from the output (script absent, stale , or a different protocol number), apply safe defaults: treat SESSIONKIND as interactive, do NOT assume Conductor, skip onboarding/telemetry steps (their gates are marker-based, so consent and onboarding prompts are DEFERRED to the next healthy run — never lost), tell the user to run ./ or /gstack-upgrade, and proceed with their task. Note SESSIONID and TELSTART from the output — the Telemetry step needs them at skill end.
