Read the README.md file within this skill, and explore the other available files.
If creating visual artifacts (slides, mocks, throwaway prototypes, etc), copy assets out and create static HTML files for the user to view. If working on production code, you can copy assets and read the rules here to become an expert in designing with this brand.
If the user invokes this skill without any other guidance, ask them what they want to build or design, ask some questions, and act as an expert designer who outputs HTML artifacts _or_ production code, depending on the need.

Quick reference (PBS Style Guide v3.0):
- **Colors:** Primary — PBS Blue `#2638C4` (signature/CTAs/links) + White. Secondary Blues — Navy `#0A145A`, Medium `#0F1E8C`, Light `#486CD8`. Primary accents (minimal, one at a time): Teal `#48D3CD`, Yellow `#FFCF00`, Coral `#FE704E`; Accent Alts (contrast/low-vibrancy cases): Sky `#8DDFFF`, Honey `#FFBD00`, Peach `#FFB699`. Secondary accents (infographics only, never On-Air): Purple `#4E05AC`, Red `#D6383A`, Green `#087B45`. Official neutrals: Cloud/Fog/Slate/Deep Sea/Midnight. Tokens live in `tokens/`.
- **Gradients:** `--gradient-primary` (Light→PBS→Medium Blue; overlay at 80% = `--gradient-primary-overlay`); `--gradient-secondary` (adds Sky, full-bleed only, no imagery). Light source in a top corner, opposite the subject.
- **Type:** one family — PBS Sans (self-hosted; condensed cut via `--font-cond`). Title Case headers, sentence-case body (left-aligned), ALL CAPS only brief secondary messages; Italic = captions/quotes, Condensed = credits/fine print. Display/headings bold-to-black, tight tracking.
- **Shape language:** pill buttons, quiet 8–12px card/media radius, minimal cool-tinted shadows, mostly-flat surfaces, geometric brand patterns (blue colorway only) under Navy ≥50% overlays.
- **Graphic elements** (`components/graphic/`): CircleCrop (bleeds 3 sides), Curve (bottom-left only), CircleHighlight (≤8 chars/line, one per layout), LargeCircleHighlight (gradient @80% over wide imagery), SymbolCrop (official artwork, ≥1.5:1), LineHighlight (digital only, blue backgrounds). Rules in each `.prompt.md`.
- **Logos:** `assets/logos/` — color on light, white on dark. Never recolor, rotate, or split the mark.
- **Components:** link `styles.css`, load `_ds_bundle.js`, read from `window.NashvillePBSDesignSystem_8fe663`. See `components/*/*.prompt.md` for usage.
- **Broadcast / On-Air (Toolkit v3.1):** all graphics 1920×1080, PBS Sans only, blues + one primary accent (never secondary accents or neutrals on-air), equal-scale co-brand lockup, tune-in caps ("TONIGHT" never takes "pm"). Rules on the Broadcast Graphics guideline cards; generator at `templates/on-air/` (slates, support end cards, endpages, title cards, lower thirds).
- **Full example UI:** `ui_kits/website/`.
