Open Design Landing

open-design-landing

Build a single-page editorial landing site (or a slide deck — see the sibling open-design-landing-deck skill) in the Atelier Zero design system: warm-paper background, Inter Tight + Playfair Display, italic serif emphasis spans, dotted hairline rules, coral terminating dots, scroll-reveal motion, and 16 surreal collage plates.

This is the canonical OpenDesign marketing-page recipe — the example output is the very page you see at open-design.

The skill is fully parameterized. The agent fills one typed inputs.json from the user's brief; the composer turns that JSON + the canonical styles.css into a deployable artifact.

textCopy code
inputs.json + styles.css                       16 image slots
        │                                            │
        └──────────► scripts/compose.ts ◄────────────┘
                            │
                            ▼
              <out>/index.html  (self-contained)
              <out>/assets/      (PNG or SVG)

What you get

A single HTML file with all of:

• Editorial topbar (volume / issue / language strip), Headroom-style sticky nav with live GitHub star count.
• 8 numbered Roman-numeral sections with paper-textured background: hero (with 3 stat rings + 4-step index), about, capabilities (4 cards), labs (5 cards + filter pills + progress bar), method (4 steps with thumbnails), selected work (dark slab + 2 tilted cards), testimonial (pull quote + 5 partner glyphs), CTA (ribbon + email pill).
• Footer with 4 link columns + huge italic-serif kicker word.
• Scroll-reveal motion on every section (IntersectionObserver, respects prefers-reduced-motion).
• Fully responsive at 1280 / 1080 / 880 / 560 breakpoints.

Workflow contract

Run these four steps in order. The agent should complete each step before moving on, and prefer asking the user a focused question over inventing copy.

1. Gather brand inputs

Use AskQuestion (or the equivalent in your UI) to collect the brand brief in chunks; do not dump the entire schema.ts on the user. Map their answers into inputs.json matching the typed shape.

The eight question groups, in order:

Open inputs.example.json for a complete worked example (OpenDesign itself).

2. Decide the image strategy

Set inputs.imagery.strategy accordingly.

placeholder — frame mode

bashCopy code
npx tsx scripts/placeholder.ts <out>/assets/

Writes 16 .svg files (with .png aliases for compatibility) into <out>/assets/. Each placeholder shows the slot id, ratio, pixel dimensions, and the prompt hint from image-manifest.json. The composer's <img src='./assets/hero.png'> etc. just work.

generate — gpt-image-2 mode

bashCopy code
FAL_KEY=... npx tsx scripts/imagegen.ts <inputs.json> --out=<out>/assets/

Calls fal.ai's openai/gpt-image-2 synchronous endpoint per slot. Composes prompts as: style anchor (paper-collage editorial system)

• brand variables (name / nav / headline / italic emphasis pulled from inputs.json) + per-slot composition (e.g. cropped plaster head + tree growing through arch). Skips slots whose target file already exists; pass --force to re-render.

Without FAL_KEY, the script prints the prompts so the operator can route them through the /gpt-image-fal slash-command skill manually.

bring-your-own

Drop 16 PNGs matching assets/image-manifest.json filenames at inputs.imagery.assets_path. Done.

3. Compose the artifact

bashCopy code
npx tsx scripts/compose.ts <inputs.json> <out>/index.html

The composer reads inputs.json and ../styles.css, then writes one self-contained HTML file. The page includes:

• The full Atelier Zero stylesheet, inlined.
• All section markup with data-reveal attributes for staggered scroll motion.
• Inline IntersectionObserver script for [data-reveal].
• Inline Headroom nav script (mirrors header.tsx).
• Inline GitHub star-count fetcher (auto-detects from brand.primary_url).

Self-check before delivering

Before marking done, the agent must verify:

• <out>/index.html opens in a browser without console errors.
• All 16 image slots load (no 404s in DevTools network tab).
• Headline italic emphasis spans render in Playfair (not sans).
• Coral terminating dots appear at every display h1/h2 end.
• Scroll from top to bottom; every section animates in once.
• Resize to 880px and 560px; no horizontal scroll, no overlap.
• prefers-reduced-motion: reduce (DevTools → Rendering) disables transitions cleanly.
• Lighthouse: contrast AA, font-display swap, no layout shift on the hero (CLS < 0.05).

Boundaries

• Do not invent new colors or typefaces. Tokens live in design-systems/atelier-zero/DESIGN.md; extend the design system before adding a new ramp here.
• Do not drop data-reveal attributes from generated markup. Without them the page goes static and feels dead.
• Do not wrap the composed HTML in a framework that injects its own stylesheet ordering — Atelier Zero relies on stylesheet-order cascade for paper texture and z-index of side rails.
• Do not add a separate stylesheet file that reorders Atelier Zero cascade; keep styles.css as the single visual source.
