ArcheBase Visual Design Skill

Design-method application layer for ArcheBase / 智域基石. SKILL.md is authoritative for agent behaviour; this README is the repository-level orientation only and no agent rule lives here alone.

Dependency

Official brand facts, assets, evidence, tokens, route playbooks, validators and release gates stay upstream:

• Repository: https://github.com/archebase/archebase-vi-guide
• Baseline: tag v3.5.4, commit 918d0ec8f05f775d1f34370e0c38fc796da8b83b

Resolve it with git clone --branch v3.5.4 https://github.com/archebase/archebase-vi-guide and verify git -C archebase-vi-guide rev-parse HEAD against the commit above. This repository does not copy or redistribute upstream VI assets or evidence, and it is not itself a brand authority.

Other declared dependencies are listed in skill-dependencies.json.

Scope

This repository is the application layer. It does not contain the official VI PDF, CSS, tokens, logo assets or evidence register, and it does not contain internal contracts, HR, finance, legal, sales or operations documents.

Layout

SKILL.md                agent-facing contract: triggers, boundary, workflow, gates
references/             design methods, brand restatement, source boundaries
templates/              briefs, IR records, retrieval/candidate records, spec, decision trace
evals/                  runnable regression + brand-fact checker, and an unexecuted A/B protocol
skill-dependencies.json pinned dependencies and non-goals
NOTICE.md  LICENSE      notices and licence (internal use)

Checks

python3 evals/check_brand_facts.py          # restated brand facts vs the pinned upstream
python3 evals/run_visual_design_benchmark.py # retrieval and design-space regression

Both read ARCHEBASE_VI_GUIDE / ARCHEBASE_DESIGN_IR, falling back to sibling directories, and report 待确认 instead of silently passing when a dependency is unreachable.

Renderer warning

The gradient logo SVGs use multiple stops with stop-opacity; ImageMagick's internal SVG renderer renders them incorrectly (darker, partially flattened). Use rsvg-convert or a browser engine, or the bundled PNG. Never use magick file.svg for a logo.

Status

Internal application-layer skill, published as a publicly readable repository (matching the sibling VI skill repos) so that teams and agents can load it by repository and commit. Public visibility is not a redistribution grant.

Third-party permissions for the design-source methods were confirmed by the brand owner on 2026-09-27; the decision and per-source terms are recorded in the internal repository archebase/archebase-design-workspace (sources/AUTHORIZATION.md, PUBLICATION-STATUS.md). The optional Design IR route resolves that repository's ir/ directory and, without access to it, stops with 待确认 — everything else in this skill works without it. Attribution to each source stays in the reference files. The upstream VI Guide dependency is proprietary and separately governed.
