reimagine-it-lock

Design DNA capture — extracts palette, type stack, motifs, motion, and 3D signatures from a shipped HTML file and saves them as a reusable reference pack. Use when the user says /reimagine-it lock, "lock this design", "save design DNA", "capture this look", or wants to reuse a shipped design on a different target. Locks capture palette, type, motif, and motion from a shipped HTML file. Part of the reimagine-it Content-Derived Design suite.

  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • Self-contained

    Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.

  • Open source

    Published by Kayforkind on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Reimagine It Lock AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
    https://github.com/Kayforkind/reimagine-it/tree/main/skills/reimagine-it/lock
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Kayforkind/reimagine-it.git /tmp/reimagine-it
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/reimagine-it/skills/reimagine-it/lock .claude/skills/reimagine-it-lock
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Reimagine It Lock in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Reimagine It Lock on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Reimagine It Lock is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

/reimagine-it lock

Parent: ../SKILL.md — the full Content-Derived Design engine. This sub-skill handles design DNA capture and reuse.

Captures a shipped design's full identity into a portable markdown pack so it can be reused on any source file:

/reimagine-it lock gold/domains/cinematic/after.html as house-cinema
/reimagine-it lock examples/end-users/horizon/auto.html as ops-console

What gets captured

CategoryWhatExample
PaletteGround, accent, support colors with hex values#08141a ground, #3ae098 accent
Type stackDisplay family, body family, fallbacksIowan Old Style, Georgia, serif
MotifsRepeating visual patternsPulse wave, heartbeat ring
MotionAnimation budget, keyframe durationsalive-micro, 2–4 loops
3D signature3D approach for the mediummatcap-hero, card-fan
Section structurePage anatomy gridHero → Cards → Footer

Token translation

Locks include a translation table so a webpage lock can inform another HTML token:

/reimagine-it webpage --ref house-cinema
/reimagine-it infographic --ref house-cinema
/reimagine-it dashboard --ref house-cinema

CLI (machine-readable)

The agent pack is markdown for the LLM. The CLI writes JSON the engine can apply without an agent:

bash
npx reimagine-it lock -i house-style.html -o house.lock.json
npx reimagine-it -i my-page.html --ref house.lock.json -t landing -o on-brand.html
npx reimagine-it -i my-page.html --ref competitor.html --auto -o study.html

--ref accepts a .lock.json file or raw HTML (reverse-lock). Structure stays content-derived; only palette, type, and voice are pinned.

Procedure

  1. Read the target file (HTML with inline CSS).
  2. Extract palette: scan :root { } block and all var(--*) usage for hex values.
  3. Extract type stack: scan font-family declarations; capture display, body, fallbacks.
  4. Extract motifs: scan SVG <pattern>, <linearGradient>, keyframe @keyframes names.
  5. Extract motion: count @keyframes blocks, note durations, check prefers-reduced-motion.
  6. Extract 3D: scan for perspective, rotateX, rotateY, translateZ.
  7. Extract section structure: scan semantic HTML (<header>, <main>, <section>, <footer>).
  8. Write the pack to references/locks/<name>.md.
  9. Report LOCKED: <name> → references/locks/<name>.md with a summary of what was captured.

Must not

  • Save outside references/locks/ (or the host's configured locks path)
  • Capture invented colors not actually in the source CSS
  • Overwrite an existing lock without asking
  • Skip the token translation table

Frequently asked questions

What does the Reimagine It Lock AI skill do?

Design DNA capture — extracts palette, type stack, motifs, motion, and 3D signatures from a shipped HTML file and saves them as a reusable reference pack. Use when the user says /reimagine-it lock, "lock this design", "save design DNA", "capture this look", or wants to reuse a shipped design on a different target. Locks capture palette, type, motif, and motion from a shipped HTML file. Part of the reimagine-it Content-Derived Design suite.

Why use Reimagine It Lock on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Reimagine It Lock is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Reimagine It Lock in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/Kayforkind/reimagine-it/tree/main/skills/reimagine-it/lock. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Reimagine It Lock?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Reimagine It Lock?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Reimagine It Lock with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Reimagine It Lock AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by Kayforkind under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
