description	Convert markdown newsletters to styled HTML matching the Catskill Crew brand and preview in browser

<essential_principles> This skill converts markdown newsletters into styled HTML pages that match the Catskill Crew aesthetic. The preview uses design elements extracted from catskillcrew.com including:

• Colors: Cream background (#F5EAD9), dark text (#3E3E3E), tan accents (#9A9082)
• Fonts: Archivo for headings and body, Courier for buttons/monospace
• Dividers: Hand-drawn woodcut-style animal illustrations (eagle, deer, fox, bear, rabbit, fish, owl, bird, snake)
• Layout: 600px max-width, generous spacing, vintage/rustic aesthetic

The preview is for visual verification before sending - it shows how the newsletter will "feel" with proper branding applied. </essential_principles>

Before routing, determine:

1. What does the user want?

   • "preview the newsletter" → Preview existing markdown
   • "convert to HTML" → Same as preview
   • "refresh design" / "update design tokens" → Re-extract from website
   • "download assets" → Re-download brand images

2. Is there a specific file?

   • If user specifies a file, use that
   • Otherwise, use the latest output/newsletter_*.md

3. Does the user want to see it in browser?

   • Default: Yes, open via Playwright MCP
   • If user says "just generate" → Create HTML only

Route to the appropriate workflow:

User Intent	Workflow
Preview newsletter / see how it looks	workflows/preview-newsletter.md
Refresh design / update styles	workflows/extract-design.md
Re-download brand assets	workflows/download-assets.md

<quick_start> Most common usage: User has written a newsletter and wants to see the preview.

User: "preview the newsletter"
→ Route to: workflows/preview-newsletter.md

The workflow will:

1. Find the latest newsletter markdown in output/
2. Convert to HTML using the template and design tokens
3. Open in browser via Playwright MCP
4. Take a screenshot for reference </quick_start>
