Design Skill
This Design Skill provides a contemplative design language rooted in Ma (間), the Japanese aesthetic principle of intentional negative space. It applies ink-wash gradients, asymmetric balance, enso circle motifs, and extreme whitespace (64px+ gaps) to create mindfulness interfaces that feel like breathing. Content is constrained to 600px max-width, all transitions move at 800ms, and empty space is treated as a compositional element with weight and meaning.
