Flashback is a skill for coding agents that provides historically accurate design references spanning 1900 to the present, enabling agents to generate era-specific design outputs based on real research dossiers. It innovatively combines a structured agent skill with a curated design history archive to ground AI-generated design in authentic historical context rather than generic retro styling.
