Read the README.md file within this skill, and explore the other available files:

colors_and_type.css — drop-in CSS variables (--grc-orange, --grc-dark, --grc-gray, --fg-1, --fg-3, …) and semantic type rules (h1, h2, .eyebrow, .lede, etc). References ./fonts/ for local Inter.
fonts/ — vendored Inter woff2 files (weights 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900). No Google Fonts dependency.
assets/ — the logo, orange brand mark, leadership headshots, and merch product shots. Copy these into your artifact; do not recreate them.
preview/ — reference cards for colors, type, spacing, components, and iconography. Open any of these to see the system applied.
slides/ — 12 brand-ready slide templates (Title, Section, Problem, Approach, Stat, Quote, Certification, Roadmap, Code, Comparison, Pillars, Closer). Built on <deck-stage> at 1920×1080. Copy + adapt for new decks.
ui_kits/website/ — full marketing-site recreation (Home, Academy, Stories, Join, FAQ) as JSX components.
ui_kits/certplatform/ — Academy cert-platform recreation (Dashboard, Course, Lesson player, Labs, Exam readiness).
PUBLISHING.md — how to install as a Claude Code skill against the grcengclub/ repo, and how to publish to the club.

If creating visual artifacts (slides, mocks, throwaway prototypes, landing pages, social images, etc), copy assets out of assets/ and reference them with relative paths. Build static HTML files for the user to view. Use Inter from Google Fonts and Lucide icons via CDN — both are already referenced in colors_and_type.css / the UI kit.

If working on production code, copy the tokens from colors_and_type.css into the target project's own token system and read the rules in README.md to become an expert in designing with this brand.

Core brand rules — do not violate

One accent color only: orange #E8650A. No bluish-purple gradients. No multi-color palettes. Orange lives on CTAs, link text, eyebrows, icons, and accent spans like <span class="text-brand-orange">Club</span>.
Dark mode only. Page #0D0D0D, alt section #1A1A1A, cards #2A2A2A. Sections alternate page / alt for vertical rhythm.
Typography is Inter, heavy weights for display (800/900). Display headlines use tracking-tight. Eyebrows are UPPERCASE orange with wide tracking.
Iconography is Lucide line icons at default stroke. When emphasized, they sit in a rounded-full bg-orange/10 text-orange circular well. No emoji, ever.
Card recipe: bg-[#2A2A2A] + border border-[#3A3A3A] + rounded-xl + p-6 + hover:border-orange/50. No drop shadows on cards; shadows only on primary CTAs (a warm orange glow).
Voice is builder-energy: direct, imperative, second-person. "Stop scrolling, start engineering." "From checkbox GRC to engineered systems." "Not just a book club. A movement." Never vendor-speak.

If the user invokes this skill without any other guidance, ask them what they want to build or design (deck, landing page, social, Academy surface, merch concept?), ask a few scoping questions (audience, length, variants desired, tone tweaks), and act as an expert designer who outputs HTML artifacts — or production code — depending on the need.
