Sometimes a DESIGN.md Is Not Enough

Short summary

Introduces web-reverse-engineer, a portable SKILL.md workflow that extracts runtime design and motion principles from live reference sites so AI coding agents can build original implementations rather than copies. Addresses the gap between static DESIGN.md tokens and dynamic interaction behavior that agents can't capture from screenshots alone. Includes three demo rebuilds covering ambient canvas motion, cursor-tracking SVG interactions, and procedural sine-wave animations.

• •Identifies the gap between static design tokens and runtime motion/interaction behavior that AI coding agents miss
• •Introduces web-reverse-engineer as a reusable SKILL.md workflow for extracting design principles from live sites
• •Emphasizes building original implementations inspired by principles rather than copying assets or source code
