mohitagw15856 036511ab3e Windsurf + Aider targets, MCP server, and demo placement (#33)
Broadens both reach (more tools) and content types (an MCP server), continuing
the multi-platform story.

Windsurf + Aider:
- build-exports.mjs gains two platforms: exports/windsurf/*.md (workspace rules,
  trigger: model_decision) and exports/aider/*.md (conventions for `aider --read`).
  Now 5 platforms (ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor, Windsurf, Aider).
- install.sh + bin/cli.mjs install both (windsurf -> .windsurf/rules, aider ->
  .aider/skills with a --read hint); generated README index is excluded from copies.
- One-line windsurf-install.sh / aider-install.sh wrappers for parity.

MCP server (new content type):
- mcp/server.mjs — zero-dependency stdio MCP server exposing list_skills,
  search_skills, get_skill. Published as a second bin (pm-claude-skills-mcp).
  Logs to stderr; reads bundled skills/ at startup. mcp/README.md documents
  client config.

Also: README hero "See it in action" demo placement (ready to swap in a GIF;
recording guide in web/docs-assets/README.md), Works-With table + exports +
install docs updated, CHANGELOG Unreleased. package.json files/bin updated.

# Figma Variant Matrix Skill
Defines all variants, properties, and states a component needs before building it in Figma — preventing missing variants discovered after the component is already used across 40 screens.
## Required Inputs
- **Component name** (Button, Card, Input, Badge, Navigation item, etc.)
- **Component purpose** (what does it do, where is it used?)
- **Platform** (iOS / Android / Web / Multi-platform)
- **Design system context** (standalone / part of existing system)
## Output Structure
### 1. Component Overview
Name, category (Interactive/Display/Layout/Form/Navigation/Feedback), used in contexts.
### 2. Variant Properties
| Property | Values | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Type | Primary, Secondary, Tertiary, Destructive | |
| Size | Large, Medium, Small | |
| State | Default, Hover, Active, Disabled, Loading | |
| Icon | None, Leading, Trailing, Only | |
Total combinations: [N]. Flag if over 50 — consider splitting into multiple components.
### 3. State Definitions
For each state, list only what changes from Default:
- Default: [Full visual spec]
- Hover (web): [Delta from default]
- Active/Pressed: [Delta]
- Disabled: [Delta — use layer-level properties, not opacity on whole component]
- Loading: [What replaces label, interactive during loading?]
- Error (forms): [Border colour, helper text, icon changes]
### 4. Anatomy Breakdown
| Layer name | Purpose | Required? | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| container | Background and bounds | Yes | |
| label | Text | Conditional | Hide when icon-only |
| icon-leading | Leading icon slot | No | |
### 5. Token Mapping
| Property | Token | Fallback |
|---|---|---|
| Background default | color.brand.primary | #hex |
| Border radius | radius.medium | 8px |
### 6. Build Order
1. Default state, most common variant
2. Convert to component, add properties
3. Size variants
4. State variants
5. Type variants
6. Icon slot variants last
## Quality Checks
- [ ] All interactive states defined
- [ ] Total variant count calculated, flagged if over 50
- [ ] Every layer named semantically
- [ ] Token mapping covers all visual properties
- [ ] Disabled state uses layer-level properties not opacity
## Anti-Patterns
- [ ] Do not create a variant matrix with properties that overlap or conflict — each property must be independently variable
- [ ] Do not use opacity for disabled states — disabled states must use layer-level properties, not opacity
- [ ] Do not enumerate every mathematical combination if many are invalid — document only valid, buildable combinations
- [ ] Do not define variants without considering responsive behaviour — specify which properties change across screen sizes
- [ ] Do not produce a matrix without Figma implementation guidance — variant naming conventions must follow Figma's property system
## Example Trigger Phrases
- "Define the variants for a [component] in Figma"
- "What states does my [component] need?"
- "Help me plan the variant matrix for [component]"
- "Set up the Figma properties for a [button/card/input]"
- "What are all the combinations I need for my [component]?"
