Before this workflow, follow the once-per-session update preflight.

StyleSeed setup

StyleSeed setup chooses a design method for the result, not a favorite brand to imitate. Use /ss-resolve --list (Claude Code) or $ss-resolve --list (Codex) to inspect the supported grammar, adapter, domain, page, recipe, palette, and profile IDs without loading the full handbook.

When not to use

• Project already has a valid STYLESEED.md → use /ss-update.
• User supplied references that are not represented by a built-in grammar → run /ss-reference before setup, then select the compiled grammar.
• One component inside an established system → /ss-component.

The method, review, and reference compiler are framework-agnostic. The bundled component scaffold currently targets React and Tailwind v4; on another stack configure the lock and apply the method without pretending the scaffold is portable.
