It targets files across `marketing/**`, `landing/**`, `app/**`, and `src/**`. Instead of lorem ipsum, the skill insists on realistic names and edge-case text wrapping. Empty states matter. The model must explicitly handle loading indicators, zero-item accounts, and container overflows. Decorative chrome gets stripped away. The rules eliminate fake terminal outputs and synthetic AI glows. When direct screenshots cannot be used, mockups must rely on the genuine data schema and actual rendering components. Fabricating unreleased features breaks credibility the moment someone tests the tool. ## Install ### Claude Code (native platform) 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add dembrandt/dembrandt-skills --skill authentic-product-representation -a claude-code ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `~/.claude/skills/authentic-product-representation/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/authentic-product-representation/ ### Codex 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add dembrandt/dembrandt-skills --skill authentic-product-representation -a codex ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.agents/skills/authentic-product-representation/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/ ### Cursor 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add dembrandt/dembrandt-skills --skill authentic-product-representation -a cursor ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.cursor/skills/authentic-product-representation/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/ ### GitHub Copilot 1. **GitHub CLI** ```bash gh skill install dembrandt/dembrandt-skills authentic-product-representation ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.github/skills/authentic-product-representation/SKILL.md` ### Gemini CLI 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add dembrandt/dembrandt-skills --skill authentic-product-representation -a gemini-cli ``` 2. **Platform CLI** ```bash gemini skills install https://github.com/dembrandt/dembrandt-skills --path skills/authentic-product-representation ``` ### Windsurf (Devin Desktop) **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.devin/skills/authentic-product-representation/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works ### OpenCode **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add dembrandt/dembrandt-skills --skill authentic-product-representation -a opencode ``` ### Claude.ai **Claude.ai** - Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/dembrandt/dembrandt-skills/tree/HEAD/skills/authentic-product-representation/SKILL.md ## When to use it - Replace lorem ipsum with realistic names and edge-case content - Remove fabricated terminal windows and artificial AI chrome from mockups - Build credible hero sections using actual data schemas and rendering components - Represent genuine product outputs without exaggerated numbers or fake features ## Example prompts - Make this hero section credible by replacing placeholder content with real data - Remove the fake terminal visual and display authentic CLI output - Build the demo panel in `landing/page.tsx` using our actual component schema ## Source text · SKILL.md · MIT Below is the content of a third-party file.

People have seen thousands of landing pages; they recognise a fabricated dashboard, a screenshot full of lorem ipsum, or a "terminal" that prints things the real tool never would. The visual that converts is the one that looks like it was screenshotted straight out of the working product — because it was, or because it was built to be indistinguishable from it. The principle is simple: **the visual is the product, not a poster of it.** Every shortcut away from that — invented data, decorative chrome, a capability shown that does not exist — is a small withdrawal from the trust account. This skill governs whether a visual is *credible*; what it has to accomplish in the page's argument comes from the product narrative framework in [[layout-paradigms-and-consistency]]. A fabricated proof point proves nothing. --- ## Design With Real Content Idealised placeholder content hides the problems your design will actually face. ``` END THIRD-PARTY FILE 2b80a483f84aa7c5 The third-party file has ended.
