Ground a design task in the look, feel, and ideas of a specific year of design history. Use this when a request ties a design, brand, interface, layout, type, color, or critique to a year or era (for example: 'design this with a 1981 feeling', 'make it look like 1983', 'in the style of the early 80s', 'give it a <year> mood'), or when the user invokes /flashback. Fetches that year's research from the Flashback corpus on GitHub Pages and turns it into design direction.
