Design Language
All colors are OKLCH. The palette evokes aged archival paper, dried specimens, and forest greens.

**Palette logic:** Warm cream base (hue 82) with muted brown foreground (hue 50) and a single green accent (hue 150). No saturated colors anywhere. The entire palette reads as naturally faded.

Agent instructions (SKILL.md)(advanced)
Design Skill
Produces a botanical illustration portfolio styled as a scientific herbarium folio. Specimens appear as inline SVG line drawings mounted in double-border frames with L-shaped corner tapes, classified with binomial nomenclature and collection metadata. Typography pairs Cormorant Infant (display serif) with Courier Prime (specimen labels). The warm cream OKLCH background simulates archival Fabriano paper with barely-visible SVG noise grain.
