# Web Reference Research

## Purpose

Convert taste references into concrete, verifiable design decisions.

## Required Use

Use this skill when the trigger description applies. Keep the `SKILL.md` lean, then read `references/web-reference-research-guide.md` for concrete rules before planning or editing a meaningful website change.

## Operating Contract

1. Inspect before coding when code exists.
2. Convert vague taste into concrete rules.
3. Explain planned files before major changes unless the user clearly said to proceed.
4. Build, inspect, polish, and verify.
5. Report commands run, files changed, and anything not tested.

## Detailed Guide

Read `references/web-reference-research-guide.md` when this skill is active for a build, redesign, review, or implementation plan.
