SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Undoing design work by hand-editing CSS toward an older look leaves residue and drift. This Skill performs a clean restore of design and theme files to a named baseline so the palette is exactly what it was, not an approximation. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Baseline identification: Locates the target state from a prior commit (git log --oneline -- resources/css/app.css), a date, a named palette version, or the framework's stock starter-kit CSS. - Restore, don't patch: Uses git checkout <commit> -- <files> or writes the stock default file verbatim instead of incrementally editing current styles. - Whole-kind consistency: Reverts every theme file of the same kind (all theme CSS, fonts in app.blade.php, hardcoded accent shadows) and keeps STYLESEED.md / .ui-craft/tokens.md token docs in sync. - Use Case: A user says "reset the css to basic black and white" or "restore app.css to the version from 2 days ago" — the Skill finds the right commit, restores all related theme files, rebuilds assets, and verifies the UI shows the baseline palette. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to revert app.css and all theme files back to the version from a specific commit or named palette, then rebuild the assets.

Frequently Asked Questions about reverting-design-to-known-good-baseline

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I revert CSS files to a previous git commit?▼

Find the target commit with `git log --oneline -- resources/css/app.css`, then run `git checkout <commit> -- <files>` to restore the files exactly. Rebuild assets with `npm run build` and verify the UI shows the restored palette.

How to reset a Laravel app to the default color scheme?▼

Restore the framework's fresh-install starter-kit CSS verbatim rather than approximating the default look by hand. Also revert fonts in app.blade.php and any hardcoded accent shadows so the whole theme stays consistent.

Why not just edit current styles back toward the old look?▼

Hand-editing toward a previous design leaves residue and drift, so the result never exactly matches the baseline. A clean git checkout of the baseline commit restores the exact prior state without leftover artifacts.

Should I revert only app.css or all theme files together?▼

Revert every theme file of the same kind together: all theme CSS, fonts referenced in app.blade.php, and hardcoded accent shadows. Reverting only one file leaves the palette inconsistent across the UI.

What happens to STYLESEED.md or ui-craft token docs after a revert?▼

When STYLESEED.md or .ui-craft/tokens.md exist, they must be updated to match the restored palette. Keeping token documentation in sync prevents future design work from referencing stale colors.
