| description | Systematically apply an approved design lane (LANE.md) to a React + Tailwind site โ tokens first, then section-by-section, with build + screenshot verification after every pass. Use when the user says "retheme", "apply the lane", "make it match the design", or after /unslop:interview produced an approved LANE.md. |
Retheme
Apply the approved lane to the codebase, pass by pass, with evidence at every step.
This is the only unslop skill that edits source.
Preconditions (hard)
unslop/LANE.md exists and was user-approved. If missing, stop and
run /unslop:interview first.- Clean git state: ask the user to commit or stash, or create a branch
(
unslop/retheme) before touching anything.
npm run build passes before you start. If it doesn't, fix nothing
design-related โ report the build error and stop.- Read in full:
unslop/LANE.md,
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/rules/anti-slop-checklist.md, and
unslop/DESIGN-AUDIT.md if present (its Top 5 fixes get priority).
Passes (in order โ never skip ahead)
Pass 1 โ Tokens. Install the lane's :root CSS variables and Tailwind config
mapping. Replace stock color classes (indigo-600, gray-50, โฆ) with token-based
ones. Load the lane's Google Fonts. No layout changes yet.
Pass 2 โ Typography & spacing. Apply the type scale, weights, tracking and
leading per the lane. Snap arbitrary spacing to the scale; set the section rhythm.
Pass 3 โ Sections, one at a time. Nav โ hero โ each content section โ footer.
Apply the lane's surfaces (radius system, depth cue, texture), fix the layout
tells from the checklist (L1โL4), and build the lane's signature moment where
it belongs. One section per edit batch.
Pass 4 โ States & motion. Hover and focus-visible styled to the lane;
loading/empty/error states on data-touching UI; motion per the lane's budget with
the stated prefers-reduced-motion stance; kill transition-all.
Pass 5 โ Exit audit. Re-run the full audit procedure (screenshots, slop-scan,
contrast-check, checklist walk) and verify every acceptance check in LANE.md.
Verification after EVERY pass (non-negotiable)
npm run build
node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/screenshot.mjs" <url> ./unslop/screenshots/pass-N
Read the new screenshots and confirm the pass did what it claimed at 375 and
1440px before starting the next pass. If a pass broke something, fix it inside
that pass. Never claim a pass is done without a passing build and fresh
screenshots you have actually looked at.
Finish
- Final score from Pass 5 vs. the original audit score, stated plainly.
- Before/after: first audit screenshots vs. final ones, linked in a short
unslop/RETHEME-REPORT.md.
- Any acceptance check that could not be met: say so explicitly โ no silent skips.
- Client report. Also write
unslop/CLIENT-REPORT.html โ a self-contained
HTML page for a non-technical reader, following
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/rules/client-report.md. Score delta up front,
before/after screenshots embedded, what changed in plain language. This is
the artifact a freelancer hands to (or invoices) a client.
- Suggest a commit with a summary of the passes.
Scope rules
- Change only what the lane and checklist require. No feature additions, no
refactors, no dependency swaps beyond fonts/motion lib the lane demands.
- Copy/content stays unless it's placeholder lorem โ flag content problems,
don't rewrite the user's words.
