## What it does

The skill hands your agent a set of building blocks for polishing a Next.js app. The component library covers a button with primary, secondary, outline, ghost and danger variants in three sizes, a card with CardHeader, CardTitle, CardDescription, CardContent and CardFooter, plus text inputs and a textarea with validation states, icons and helper text.

Two reference documents carry the design side. `references/design_principles.md` walks through visual hierarchy, spacing, typography and accessibility at WCAG AA/AAA. `references/color_palettes.md` lists six schemes — Corporate Blue, Vibrant Purple, Minimalist Gray, Warm Sunset, Ocean Fresh and Dark Mode — each with primary, accent, background, text, semantic and border colors. Animations live in `assets/animations.css`: fade, slide, scale, skeleton shimmer and hover effects, all respecting `prefers-reduced-motion`.

Layouts are separate files. `assets/layout-hero-section.tsx` gives a centered, split or minimal hero with CTA support, and `assets/layout-feature-grid.tsx` builds a 2, 3 or 4 column grid with staggered animation. Copy the file you want into your components directory and make sure the `cn` helper from `assets/utils-cn.ts` is present — the components import it, so a missing helper breaks the build on the first import.
