# Build UI from a DESIGN.md

## Steps

1. **Get the DESIGN.md.**
   - If the user already pasted or attached one, use it.
   - Otherwise follow the `create-design-md` skill for the brand or URL they named. For "our site" or "our brand", ask for the URL once.
2. **Read the tokens before writing code.** From the frontmatter, pick out: background and surface colors, text colors, the one or two accent colors, font families and weights, the type scale, spacing unit, border radius and shadow style.
3. **Turn tokens into variables.** Start the code with CSS custom properties (or a Tailwind theme extension) named after the DESIGN.md tokens, e.g. `--color-surface: #080910;`. Use only those variables in the rest of the code.
4. **Follow the prose.** The sections on layout, components, imagery and tone decide density, button style, how images are used and how copy sounds. Apply them, not generic defaults.
5. **Build.** Produce the requested page or component. Keep it to the brand's actual palette: no extra colors, gradients or shadows the DESIGN.md doesn't describe.
6. **Report.** After the code, list in 2–4 bullets which tokens drove the main choices (e.g. "accent #5E6AD2 on primary buttons only").

## Notes

- If a needed token is missing (e.g. no error color), say which one you added and why.
- When the user's own content is involved, keep their text and structure; change only the styling.
