Core Aesthetic

Tron-meets-Excalidraw - Digital warmth combining:

• Hand-drawn Excalidraw-style sketch lines (NOT clean vectors)
• Dark slate backgrounds for modern contrast
• Neon orange (warmth) + cyan (tech) accents
• Subtle glows on key elements

Full aesthetic documentation: ${PAI_DIR}/skills/CORE/aesthetic.md

This is the SINGLE SOURCE OF TRUTH for all visual styling.
