What this routes to
This skill is a Phase-5 specialization of /research (see
skills/research/SKILL.md). When invoked, it immediately hands off to
/research with the design-refs angle preselected, which runs:
web-researcher teammate → Find award-winning and niche-relevant sites
(Awwwards, CSS Design Awards, Godly, SiteInspire, One Page Love).arch-analyst teammate → For each reference: visual archetype, color
system, type stack, motion tier, layout grid, notable interactions.kei-critic teammate → Which patterns are overused / stale? Where are
references converging on the same AI-slop templates?
