Mode: Analyze Template (--analyze)

When --analyze tactical (or other template) is specified:

Deep Analysis Process

1. Read the CSS file completely

   Read: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/styles/subpage-styles.css
   

2. Extract Design System Variables

   • Color palette (primary, secondary, accent)
   • Typography scale (headings, body, small)
   • Spacing scale (margins, padding)
   • Border radius and shadows
   • Animation timings

3. Catalog All Components For each component, document:

   • Class name and variants
   • HTML structure required
   • Responsive behavior
   • Interaction states (hover, focus, active)
   • Dependencies on other components

4. Generate Component Usage Examples

   <!-- Feature Grid Example -->
   <div class="feature-grid">
       <div class="feature-item">
           <div class="feature-icon">Icon</div>
           <h3>Feature Title</h3>
           <p>Feature description text</p>
       </div>
       <!-- Repeat for each feature -->
   </div>
   

5. Identify Extension Points

   • Which variables can be overridden
   • Where new components can be added
   • What patterns should be followed

6. Accessibility Audit

   • Color contrast ratios
   • Focus state visibility
   • Touch target sizes
   • Semantic structure requirements

Mode: Create Template (--create)

When --create [name] is specified:

Template Creation Process

1. Define Design Direction Gather requirements for the new template:

   • Visual style (modern, classic, bold, subtle)
   • Industry/use case focus
   • Color scheme preferences
   • Typography preferences

2. Generate Base CSS Structure

   Using the frontend-design skill, create a new CSS file with:

   /* ========================================
    * [Template Name] Design System
    * Generated: [Date]
    * Purpose: [Description]
    * ======================================== */
   
   /* Variables */
   :root {
       /* Colors */
       --bg-primary: [value];
       --bg-secondary: [value];
       --text-primary: [value];
       --text-secondary: [value];
       --accent: [value];
       --accent-hover: [value];
   
       /* Typography */
       --font-heading: [stack];
       --font-body: [stack];
       --font-mono: [stack];
   
       /* Spacing */
       --space-xs: 0.25rem;
       --space-sm: 0.5rem;
       --space-md: 1rem;
       --space-lg: 2rem;
       --space-xl: 4rem;
   
       /* Borders */
       --radius-sm: 4px;
       --radius-md: 8px;
       --radius-lg: 16px;
   
       /* Shadows */
       --shadow-sm: [value];
       --shadow-md: [value];
       --shadow-lg: [value];
   }
   
   /* Base Styles */
   * { box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0; padding: 0; }
   
   body {
       font-family: var(--font-body);
       background: var(--bg-primary);
       color: var(--text-primary);
       line-height: 1.6;
   }
   
   /* Navigation */
   .nav { ... }
   
   /* Hero Section */
   .hero { ... }
   
   /* Content Sections */
   .content-section { ... }
   
   /* Feature Grid */
   .feature-grid { ... }
   
   /* Cards */
   .card { ... }
   
   /* CTA */
   .cta-section { ... }
   .cta-btn { ... }
   
   /* Footer */
   .footer { ... }
   
   /* Responsive */
   @media (max-width: 768px) { ... }
   @media (max-width: 480px) { ... }
   

3. Validate Template

   • Test with sample landing page content
   • Verify responsive behavior
   • Check accessibility compliance
   • Preview with Playwright

4. Save Template

   • Location: {config.directories.contractor_root}/landing-pages/{slug}/styles.css
   • The {slug} is provided by the caller — either the user (passed in) or the /create-landing-page orchestrator. The {slug} folder under landing-pages/ is shared with sibling landing-page skills (create-landing-page, copywrite, copywriting-spec) — this skill writes styles.css INTO that existing per-slug folder.
   • Create the folder if needed: mkdir -p {config.directories.contractor_root}/landing-pages/{slug}.

Quick Reference: Common Patterns

Hero Section Pattern

<section class="hero">
    <div class="hero-content">
        <h1 class="hero-title">Main Headline</h1>
        <p class="hero-subtitle">Supporting subheadline with value prop</p>
        <div class="hero-cta">
            <a href="#" class="cta-btn">Primary Action</a>
            <a href="#" class="secondary-btn">Secondary Action</a>
        </div>
    </div>
</section>

Feature Grid Pattern

<section class="content-section">
    <h2 class="section-title">Benefits Section</h2>
    <div class="feature-grid">
        <div class="feature-item">
            <div class="feature-icon">[Icon/Emoji]</div>
            <h3>Benefit One</h3>
            <p>Description of benefit</p>
        </div>
        <!-- Repeat 2-3 more items -->
    </div>
</section>

CTA Section Pattern

<section class="cta-section">
    <h2>Ready to Get Started?</h2>
    <p>Supporting copy that reinforces value</p>
    <a href="#" class="cta-btn">Take Action Now</a>
</section>
