Richie 2205862c2f Add workflow tooling: claude2figma skills, Storybook addons, Figma permissions
Install @storybook/addon-designs for embedding Figma frames in stories
and claude2figma skills (preflight, component-rules, style-binding,
reference-interpreter) for enforcing design token compliance when
writing to Figma. Add PostToolUse hook for use_figma QA reminders and
pre-allow Figma MCP + Code Connect tools in settings.json.

# Reference Interpreter
Analyze a reference (screenshot, URL, or description) and produce a **Design Brief** that maps visual observations to design system tokens. Output the Brief, then **stop and wait for user confirmation** before building anything.
Prerequisite: `figma-preflight` should have run so the Token Map and Style Registry are available.
---
## Phase 1 — Analyze
Examine the reference across these dimensions:
1. **Layout** — structure, columns, section heights, grid width, alignment
2. **Typography** — heading/body hierarchy, weight contrast, tracking
3. **Color** — dark/light sections, accent usage, neutral dominance
4. **Spacing** — generous vs compact, section padding, internal gap
5. **Visual Anchor** — what draws the eye: large type, hero image, illustration
6. **Components** — what UI elements are visible: cards, buttons, forms, nav
---
## Phase 2 — Map to Design System
For each observation, identify the specific Token or Style from the session's Token Map:
```
"Large dark headline" → Text Style: heading/h1 · Color: text/primary
"Neutral section bg" → Variable: background/surface-2
"Tight card spacing" → Gap: gap/xs · Padding: padding/sm
```
If no token exists, flag it:
```
⚠️ Gap: [observation] — no matching token. Options: (a) nearest match: [name], (b) add token first.
```
---
## Phase 3 — Output the Design Brief
```
## Design Brief
**Reference**: [source]
**Section**: [what this covers]
**Aesthetic**: [3-5 keywords]
### Layout
[structure, height, alignment]
### Typography
- Heading: [Style name] — [why]
- Body: [Style name]
### Colors
- Background: [Variable] — [context]
- Text: [Variable]
- Accent: [Variable] — [used for]
### Spacing
- Section padding: [Variable]
- Internal gap: [Variable]
### Components needed
- [Name]: [from library? source]
### Gaps
- [Gap description] — awaiting decision
- (none) [if all mapped]
```
---
## Phase 4 — Wait
Output exactly:
```
Brief complete. Type `confirmed` to begin building, or tell me what to adjust.
```
Do NOT call `use_figma` or place any nodes until user types `confirmed`.
