+## Importing an extracted design system
+
+A consumer reverse-engineers an existing site/repo with any external static tool
+and hands the result here as a `design-system.json`. We own the **import
+contract**, not the crawler — the package never ships the Playwright runtime, a
+font-bundler, or a `.skill` auto-installer (out of scope). Full schema lazy from
+[`reference/design-system-json.md`](reference/design-system-json.md); read only
+on import.
+
+Import procedure:
+
+1. Read `design-system.json`; reject if `source` (kind + ref + captured_at) is
+   missing — no provenance, no import.
+2. Diff every field vs the current `DESIGN.md`.
+3. **Per-field confirm/merge proposal** — observed, not authoritative (mirrors
+   `source-discovery`); never write silently.
+4. Conflict with a registered brand value (confirmed `.tokens.json` / brand
+   token) → **flag, never auto-apply** (`brand-source-of-truth`). Precedence:
+   brand tokens > confirmed `DESIGN.md` > imported observation.
+5. On accept, persist chosen fields; hand mapped DTCG fields to
+   [`brand-to-tokens`](../brand-to-tokens/SKILL.md) / `design-tokens` for
+   `.tokens.json` — no parallel token format.

+Two sources, one shape: external target → external tool emits the artifact;

+
+## Field rules
+
+- **Map to DTCG where it maps cleanly.** `colors` / `typography` / `spacing` /
+  `radius` / `shadow` = the DTCG `.tokens.json` shape `design-tokens` /
+  `brand-to-tokens` already author — reuse it; never a parallel token format.
+- **Mark extraction-only metadata.** Observation, not a token decision, lives
+  under `_meta` (`motion._meta.detected_libs`, `components[].observed`). Informs
+  the human; never becomes a token.
+- **`source` is mandatory** — `kind` + `ref` + `captured_at`. No provenance →
+  reject (can't confirm what you can't trace).
+- **`bundled_local`** is a flag, not an instruction: the package never
+  downloads/bundles fonts (out of scope); it records that the source did.
+
+## Trust posture (mandatory)
+
+An import is **observed, not authoritative** (mirrors `source-discovery`:
+evidence vs. authoritative). It seeds `DESIGN.md` as a **proposal the human
+confirms per field** — never a silent write. A field conflicting with a
+registered brand value (confirmed `.tokens.json` / brand token) is **flagged,
+never auto-applied** (`brand-source-of-truth`). Precedence: registered brand
+tokens > confirmed `DESIGN.md` > imported observation.
+
+## Two sources, one shape
+
+- **External target** (a site/repo you don't own) → external standalone tool
+  emits `design-system.json`; hand it to `design-system-capture`.
+- **Current repo** → prefer [`existing-ui-audit`](../../existing-ui-audit/SKILL.md):
+  it inventories the codebase and emits the same shape, so the import path is
+  identical either way.
+
+Package **owns this contract**; does **not** ship the crawler, the Playwright
+runtime, or a font-bundler.
