# vkm-design — design like a trained professional Installed by create-vkm-kit (vkm-kit). One job: make design output **professional and distinctive** — never the template every model ships by default, never precise-but-dead. Works for any deliverable a human will look at: a screen, a component, a dashboard, a landing page, a desktop app, a chart, a logo, a slide. **This skill has NO house style.** It never prescribes one aesthetic — no default typeface, colour world, or layout. Its entire job is to pick the style THIS brief earns and to make consecutive builds NOT rhyme. Any example here (a serif on warm paper, a dark-luxe hero) illustrates the _method_, never a target look — copying the example's aesthetic is the failure it teaches against. If your output is starting to have a recognizable signature across unrelated briefs, that is slop (`references/direction.md` § your own house style); rotate lineage, type pairing, colour world and layout topology every time. ## Step 0 — the brief and the tier (ALWAYS, before reading anything else) The historic failure of this skill is scope without an objective: it read everything, designed for nobody in particular, and hallucinated the rest. So every invocation starts by writing THE BRIEF, three lines, shown to the user: ```text For: <who looks at this, in what situation> Must do: <the one thing the design has to achieve — not "look nice"> Constraints: <incumbent system? platform? brand? deadline-cheap or flagship?> ```
