 ### Conflict policy
 
 - Template files and `.cursor/rules/*`: **skip** if the destination exists (unless `--force`).
+- Companion skills (`skills-cli`): always reinstall/update to **latest** when selected.
 - `.cursor/mcp.json`: merge other servers; skip existing `morya-ui` entry unless `--force`.
 - `package.json` `check:colors`: add only if missing (unless `--force`).
 - Styles: inject only when an entry file is found and the import is not already present.
 
-### What gets copied
+### What gets copied / installed
 
 From the package `template/` (synced from repo `design-kit/`):
 
 - `DESIGN.md` — core design contract (principles, tokens, bans)
-- `.agents/skills/<selected>/` — at least `morya-ui-pages`
+- `.agents/skills/morya-ui-pages/` — first-party page skill
 - `.cursor/rules/`
 - `scripts/check-raw-colors.mjs`
 
+Via `npx skills add …` when optional companions are selected:

-description: Audit and fix HTML accessibility issues including ARIA labels, keyboard navigation, focus management, color contrast, and form errors. Use when adding interactive controls, forms, dialogs, or reviewing WCAG compliance.
----
-
-# fixing-accessibility
-
-> **morya-ui consumer note:** Prefer library defaults (`label`, `aria-label`, Esc-dismiss overlays). Do not replace `M*` widgets with custom ARIA hacks. When guidance conflicts with `DESIGN.md` or `morya-ui-pages`, **those win**.
-
-Fix accessibility issues.
-
-## how to use
-
-- `/fixing-accessibility`
-  Apply these constraints to any UI work in this conversation.
-
-- `/fixing-accessibility <file>`
-  Review the file against all rules below and report:
-  - violations (quote the exact line or snippet)
-  - why it matters (one short sentence)
-  - a concrete fix (code-level suggestion)
-
-Do not rewrite large parts of the UI. Prefer minimal, targeted fixes.
-
-## when to apply
-
-Reference these guidelines when:
-- adding or changing buttons, links, inputs, menus, dialogs, tabs, dropdowns
-- building forms, validation, error states, helper text
-- implementing keyboard shortcuts or custom interactions
-- working on focus states, focus trapping, or modal behavior
-- rendering icon-only controls
-- adding hover-only interactions or hidden content
-
-## rule categories by priority

-| 1 | accessible names | critical |
-| 2 | keyboard access | critical |
-| 3 | focus and dialogs | critical |

-
-## quick reference
-
-### 1. accessible names (critical)
-
-- every interactive control must have an accessible name
-- icon-only buttons must have aria-label or aria-labelledby
-- every input, select, and textarea must be labeled
-- links must have meaningful text (no “click here”)
-- decorative icons must be aria-hidden
-
-### 2. keyboard access (critical)
-
-- do not use div or span as buttons without full keyboard support
-- all interactive elements must be reachable by Tab
-- focus must be visible for keyboard users
-- do not use tabindex greater than 0
-- Escape must close dialogs or overlays when applicable
-
-### 3. focus and dialogs (critical)
-
-- modals must trap focus while open
-- restore focus to the trigger on close
-- set initial focus inside dialogs
-- opening a dialog should not scroll the page unexpectedly
-
-### 4. semantics (high)
-
-- prefer native elements (button, a, input) over role-based hacks
-- if a role is used, required aria attributes must be present
-- lists must use ul or ol with li
-- do not skip heading levels
-- tables must use th for headers when applicable
-
-### 5. forms and errors (high)
-
-- errors must be linked to fields using aria-describedby
-- required fields must be announced
-- invalid fields must set aria-invalid
-- helper text must be associated with inputs
-- disabled submit actions must explain why
-
-### 6. announcements (medium-high)
-
-- critical form errors should use aria-live
-- loading states should use aria-busy or status text
-- toasts must not be the only way to convey critical information
-- expandable controls must use aria-expanded and aria-controls
-
-### 7. contrast and states (medium)
-
-- ensure sufficient contrast for text and icons
-- hover-only interactions must have keyboard equivalents
-- disabled states must not rely on color alone
-- do not remove focus outlines without a visible replacement
-
-### 8. media and motion (low-medium)
-
-- images must have correct alt text (meaningful or empty)
-- videos with speech should provide captions when relevant
-- respect prefers-reduced-motion for non-essential motion
-- avoid autoplaying media with sound
-
-### 9. tool boundaries (critical)
-
-- prefer minimal changes, do not refactor unrelated code
-- do not add aria when native semantics already solve the problem
-- do not migrate UI libraries unless requested
-
-## common fixes
-
-```html
-<!-- icon-only button: add aria-label -->
-<!-- before --> <button><svg>...</svg></button>
-<!-- after -->  <button aria-label="Close"><svg aria-hidden="true">...</svg></button>
-
-<!-- div as button: use native element -->
-<!-- before --> <div onclick="save()">Save</div>
-<!-- after -->  <button onclick="save()">Save</button>
-
-<!-- form error: link with aria-describedby -->
-<!-- before --> <input id="email" /> <span>Invalid email</span>
-<!-- after -->  <input id="email" aria-describedby="email-err" aria-invalid="true" /> <span id="email-err">Invalid email</span>
-```
-
-## review guidance
-
-- fix critical issues first (names, keyboard, focus, tool boundaries)
-- prefer native HTML before adding aria
-- quote the exact snippet, state the failure, propose a small fix
-- for complex widgets (menu, dialog, combobox), prefer established accessible primitives over custom behavior

----
-
-# Frontend Design
-
-> **morya-ui consumer note:** Use this skill for Express / brand taste only. Always implement interactive controls with `M*` and colors/spacing with `--m-*`. When this skill conflicts with project `DESIGN.md`, `morya-ui-pages`, or MCP APIs, **those win**.
-
-Approach this as the design lead at a small studio known for giving every client a visual identity that could not be mistaken for anyone else's. This client has already rejected proposals that felt templated, and is paying for a distinctive point of view: make deliberate, opinionated choices about palette, typography, and layout that are specific to this brief, and take one real aesthetic risk you can justify.
-
-## Ground it in the subject
-
-If the brief does not pin down what the product or subject is, pin it yourself before designing: name one concrete subject, its audience, and the page's single job, and state your choice. If there's any information in your memory about the human's preferences, context about what they're building, or designs you've made before – use that as a hint. The subject's own world, its materials, instruments, artifacts, and vernacular, is where distinctive choices come from. Build with the brief's real content and subject matter throughout.
-
-## Design principles
-
-For web designs, the hero is a thesis. Open with the most characteristic thing in the subject's world, in whatever form makes sense for it: a headline, an image, an animation, a live demo, an interactive moment. Be deliberate with your choice: a big number with a small label, supporting stats, and a gradient accent is the template answer, only use if that's truly the best option.
-
-Typography carries the personality of the page. Pair the display and body faces deliberately, not the same families you would reach for on any other project, and set a clear type scale with intentional weights, widths, and spacing. Make the type treatment itself a memorable part of the design, not a neutral delivery vehicle for the content.
-
-Structure is information. Structural devices, numbering, eyebrows, dividers, labels, should encode something true about the content, not decorate it. Many generic designs use numbered markers (01 / 02 / 03), but that's only appropriate if the content actually is a sequence - like a real process or a typed timeline where order carries information the reader needs. Question if choices like numbered markers actually make sense before incorporating them.
-
-Leverage motion deliberately. Think about where and if animation can serve the subject: a page-load sequence, a scroll-triggered reveal, hover micro-interactions, ambient atmosphere. An orchestrated moment usually lands harder than scattered effects; choose what the direction calls for. However, sometimes less is more, and extra animation contributes to the feeling that the design is AI-generated.
-
-Match complexity to the vision. Maximalist directions need elaborate execution; minimal directions need precision in spacing, type, and detail. Elegance is executing the chosen vision well.
-
-Consider written content carefully. Often a design brief may not contain real content, and it's up to you to come up with copy. Copy can make a design feel as templated as the design itself. See the below section on writing for more guidance.
-
-## Process: brainstorm, explore, plan, critique, build, critique again
-
-For calibration: AI-generated design right now clusters around three looks: (1) a warm cream background (near #F4F1EA) with a high-contrast serif display and a terracotta accent; (2) a near-black background with a single bright acid-green or vermilion accent; (3) a broadsheet-style layout with hairline rules, zero border-radius, and dense newspaper-like columns. All three are legitimate for some briefs, but they are defaults rather than choices, and they appear regardless of subject. Where the brief pins down a visual direction, follow it exactly — the brief's own words always win, including when it asks for one of these looks. Where it leaves an axis free, don't spend that freedom on one of these defaults. Just like a human designer who's hired, there's often a careful balance between doing what you're good at and taking each project as a chance to experiment and learn.
-
-Work in two passes. First, brainstorm a short design plan based on the human's design brief: create a compact token system with color, type, layout, and signature. Color: describe the palette as 4–6 named hex values. Type: the typefaces for 2+ roles (a characterful display face that's used with restraint, a complementary body face, and a utility face for captions or data if needed). Layout: a layout concept, using one-sentence prose descriptions and ASCII wireframes to ideate and compare. Signature: the single unique element this page will be remembered by that embodies the brief in an appropriate way.
-
-Then review that plan against the brief before building: if any part of it reads like the generic default you would produce for any similar page (work through a similar prompt to see if you arrive somewhere similar) rather than a choice made for this specific brief — revise that part, say what you changed and why. Only after you've confirmed the relative uniqueness of your design plan should you start to write the code, following the revised plan exactly and deriving every color and type decision from it.
-
-When writing the code, be careful of structuring your CSS selector specificities. It's easy to generate CSS classes that cancel each other out (especially with a type-based selector like .section and a element-based selector like .cta). This can happen often with paddings/margins between sections.
-
-Try to do a lot of this planning and iteration in your thinking, and only show ideas to the user when you have higher confidence it'll delight them.
-
-## Restraint and self-critique

-Spend your boldness in one place. Let the signature element be the one memorable thing, keep everything around it quiet and disciplined, and cut any decoration that does not serve the brief. Not taking a risk can be a risk itself! Build to a quality floor without announcing it: responsive down to mobile, visible keyboard focus, reduced motion respected. Critique your own work as you build, taking screenshots if your environment supports it – a picture is worth 1000 tokens. Consider Chanel's advice: before leaving the house, take a look in the mirror and remove one accessory. Human creators have memory and always try to do something new, so if you have a space to quickly jot down notes about what you've tried, it can help you in future passes.

-## More on writing in design
-
-Words appear in a design for one reason: to make it easier to understand, and therefore easier to use. They are design material, not decoration. Bring the same intentionality to copy that you would bring to spacing and color. Before writing anything, ask what the design needs to say, and how it can best be said to help the person navigate the experience.
-
-Write from the end user's side of the screen. Name things by what people control and recognize, never by how the system is built. A person manages notifications, not webhook config. Describe what something does in plain terms rather than selling it. Being specific is always better than being clever.
-
-Use active voice as default. A control should say exactly what happens when it's used: "Save changes," not "Submit." An action keeps the same name through the whole flow, so the button that says "Publish" produces a toast that says "Published." The vocabulary of an interface is the signposting for someone navigating the product. Cohesion and consistency are how people learn their way around.
-
-Treat failure and emptiness as moments for direction, not mood. Explain what went wrong and how to fix it, in the interface's voice rather than a person's. Errors don't apologize, and they are never vague about what happened. An empty screen is an invitation to act.
-
-Keep the register conversational and tuned: plain verbs, sentence case, no filler, with tone matched to the brand and the audience. Let each element do exactly one job. A label labels, an example demonstrates, and nothing quietly does double duty.
