Takeaway Skill
0. Position
- Chinese alias:
拿来主义skill - English name:
takeaway-skill - Core stance:
- Takeaway is not copy-paste.
- The point is not "How similar can we make it?"
- The point is "Which mechanisms are worth taking, and how do we turn them into our own version?"
1. When To Use
Use this skill when the user says things like:
- "Study this effect, but do not copy it literally."
- "Break down this website and tell me what is worth taking."
- "Distill this reference into something reusable."
- "I want the mechanism, not the skin."
- "Tell me what can be reused and what must be redesigned."
- "学一下这个效果。"
- "拆一下这个网站。"
- "别照抄,把能拿的拿出来。"
Typical reference objects:
- websites
- demos
- interaction effects
- landing pages
- layout systems
- visual systems
- screenshots
- short recordings
- reference videos
2. Default Goal
The goal is not to summarize the reference.
The default goal is to:
- identify the most valuable thing to take away
- separate transferable mechanisms from non-transferable surface traits
- suggest how to adapt the idea into the user's own version
- produce a stable output instead of vague commentary
- suggest a clear implementation handoff
2.1 Repository Reminder
When this skill is used inside this public repository, do not leave the result as a standalone text note only.
The default expectation is:
- distill the reference
- turn the result into a reusable entry or placeholder block
- place the working result into
takeaway_is_here/distilled_entries/ - use
takeaway_is_here/OPEN_HOME.htmlas the beginner-friendly entry - only mirror the public-safe showcase layer into
site/index.html - review it through the webpage instead of treating the skill output as the final destination
In short:
skill/SKILL.mddefines the reasoning methodreferences/provides safe templatestakeaway_is_here/is the default result zonesite/index.htmlis the public-facing showcase shell
3. Default Workflow
3.1 Identify the object before judging it
Answer these questions first:
- What is this object actually doing?
- Is its strength mainly in mechanism, structure, visual language, or rhythm?
- Which layer does the user want to take?
- Is this task about:
- distillation only
- implementation
- adaptation
3.2 Split the reference by layers
Analyze the reference through these layers:
- Structure layer
- information architecture
- page skeleton
- module order
- Mechanism layer
- interaction rules
- layout logic
- motion triggers
- state changes
- Visual layer
- color
- material
- typography
- texture
- highlight and shadow
- Rhythm layer
- density
- pause
- movement
- breathing room
- Implementation layer
- code-driven
- design-asset-driven
- media-processing-driven
3.3 Produce four judgments every time
Every run should identify all four:
- Can take directly
- Cannot take directly
- Can take after adaptation
- Evidence still insufficient
4. Evidence And Stop-Loss Rules
4.1 Evidence priority
Use this evidence priority:
- real source code
- user screen recordings
- user screenshots
- real DOM and asset structure
- our own reconstruction demos
Rules:
- A demo made by us is validation material, not ground truth about the original.
- If a recording or screenshot conflicts with our demo, trust the recording or screenshot first.
- If the evidence is not enough, mark it as insufficient instead of forcing a clean conclusion.
- If the effect is clearly made of multiple layers, split the layers first and judge them separately.
4.2 Stop-loss
- If two rounds still cannot explain which layer is being studied, stop and go back to the evidence.
- If the same visual problem is pointed out twice, stop guessing parameters and return to source material.
- For banner, hero, or page-layout tasks, lock:
- skeleton
- crop
- block relationships before tuning:
- font size
- spacing
- color
- decorative details
5. Fixed Deliverables
Every run should produce at least four of the following:
- Distilled object
- One-line judgment
- Most valuable takeaway
- Directly reusable list
- Not safe to copy list
- Adaptation suggestions
- Recommended next implementation handoff
Recommended output order:
- What this object is
- What is most worth taking
- Which parts are mechanism
- Which parts are only surface
- How to adapt it into the user's own version
- What to do next
If you need a stable response skeleton, read:
references/output_template.md
If you need safe prompt placeholders instead of third-party examples, read:
references/prompt_slots.md
6. Public Release Boundary
This public package should not become a hidden archive of third-party examples.
Rules:
- Do not store third-party site names as official examples in this public repo.
- Do not store third-party screenshots, recordings, or protected copy in reusable example files.
- If examples are needed, prefer:
- blank templates
- placeholder slots
- anonymous object types
- Use your own banner, copy, and assets if you want branding in a public release.
If you need a public-safety check, read:
references/open_source_safety.md
6.1 Public intake safety
When this public package borrows ideas from GitHub repositories, design libraries, or UI tools, treat them as:
- method references
- taxonomy references
- output-shape references
Do not treat them as trusted execution chains to copy wholesale.
Do not import directly:
- full executable prompts
- external automation pipelines
- install scripts or environment-specific setup
- third-party screenshot collections
- private notes from the internal workflow
6.2 Public identity boundary
This public package must not automatically carry over:
- private identity details
- private links
- local absolute paths
- internal-only workflow traces
- third-party screenshots or recordings kept for private study
7. Downstream Handoff
This skill decides what is worth taking and how it should be adapted.
It does not have to implement everything itself.
Typical downstream destinations:
- web implementation workflow
- SVG or vector workflow
- image extraction workflow
- static visual refinement workflow
- copywriting or narrative rewrite workflow
When handing off, always include:
- which layer is being implemented
- which evidence is most trustworthy
- what should not be touched yet
- what the smallest valid result is
- what the stop-loss condition is
If the repository already contains a site shell, the default public workflow is:
- save working outputs into
takeaway_is_here/distilled_entries/ - keep beginner entry routing in
takeaway_is_here/OPEN_HOME.html - mirror only the public-safe showcase layer into
site/index.html
7.1 Public v2.0 output boundary
For the public v2.0 package:
references/is for method templates, not for the user's long-term distilled result library.takeaway_is_here/is the default place to store user-facing distilled outputs.takeaway_is_here/OPEN_HOME.htmlis the beginner-safe shortcut back to the homepage.site/index.htmlshould be treated as the public showcase shell, not the only storage location for every result.
8. Boundaries
- Do not turn takeaway into full-site cloning.
- Do not encourage copying someone else's brand identity, signature typography, or highly recognizable facade.
- Do not confuse reference analysis with project completion.
- If the user clearly wants implementation or adaptation, continue with a real handoff instead of stopping at commentary.
9. Trigger Samples
- "Study this, but do not copy it."
- "Break down this site and tell me what is worth taking."
- "Distill this reference into a version I can use."
- "I only want its rhythm and mechanism, not its visual skin."
- "看看哪些能直接复用,哪些必须改。"
