Reverse-engineer a live website (or one specific UI effect/animation on it) into a portable DESIGN.md design system, validate it with a linter, export it to Tailwind / DTCG / CSS-variables, then recreate the effect FROM the exports to prove the recovered system transfers. Use this whenever the user wants to capture, recover, copy, clone, or replicate a site's visual identity or a specific effect (flip cards, hover animations, glassmorphism, gradients, motion) as reusable design tokens — especially when they care about consistency across multiple sites, a single source of truth, a DESIGN.md / design tokens / Stitch / Google Labs design file, or "make this ours so every page uses it." Trigger even if the user just says "I saw this effect on site X, recreate it" or "turn this site's look into tokens" — the value of this skill over ad-hoc copying is that it produces a linted, exportable, normative spec instead of one-off CSS that drifts.

Bootstrap a fresh project workspace with a clean order of operations — .gitignore, agent/project docs, workspace structure, filenaming convention, venv, local git init, and remote connection last. Use when starting a new empty repository or project workspace from scratch.
