name	retheme
description	Systematically apply an approved design lane (LANE.md) to a React + Tailwind site — 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)

1. unslop/LANE.md exists and was user-approved. If missing, stop and run /unslop:interview first.
2. Clean git state: ask the user to commit or stash, or create a branch (unslop/retheme) before touching anything.
3. npm run build passes before you start. If it doesn't, fix nothing design-related — report the build error and stop.
4. 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 — never skip ahead)

Pass 1 — Tokens. Install the lane's :root CSS variables and Tailwind config mapping. Replace stock color classes (indigo-600, gray-50, …) with token-based ones. Load the lane's Google Fonts. No layout changes yet.

Pass 2 — 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 — Sections, one at a time. Nav → hero → each content section → footer. Apply the lane's surfaces (radius system, depth cue, texture), fix the layout tells from the checklist (L1–L4), and build the lane's signature moment where it belongs. One section per edit batch.

Pass 4 — 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 — 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   # must pass clean
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 — no silent skips.
• Client report. Also write unslop/CLIENT-REPORT.html — 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 — flag content problems, don't rewrite the user's words.
