 # 12ui Design
 
 If the `12ui` CLI is not present, run `npx -y @12ui/design cli install` once.
 
-Code-generating models converge on a narrow band of visual defaults and cannot see that convergence from inside it. 12ui uses image models and corpus-grounded generation to genuinely explore different directions, handling visual hierarchy, composition, whitespace, and other subtlety not available to code-generating models like yourself. It can expand a single viewport image into a full app. This workflow then converts images with near-pixel fidelity — faster and truer than coding it by hand.
+The workflow uses image models and corpus-grounded generation to explore visual hierarchy, composition, typography, and distinct design directions. Expand the selected direction, convert it into editable code and assets, then integrate the requested functionality.
 
-Start where you already are: a finished design image goes to §3, an existing interface that should get better to §6, a rough concept to §1, and reference imagery as the deliverable to §5. Each command prints the next, and `12ui <command> --help` prints every flag and its choices — read it rather than guess.
+Start where you already are: a finished design image goes to §3, an existing interface that should get better to §6, a rough concept to §1, and reference imagery as the deliverable to §5. Each command prints the next, and `12ui <command> --help` prints its flags and choices. The same workflow applies in every supported coding client; the CLI selects and checks the execution engine. Read [outputs.md](outputs.md) only for output boundaries or engine-specific requirements.
 
 ## 1. Draft
 
-The draft command uses the best reference concepts from a large design corpus as starting points to generate professional quality UI.
+The draft command uses relevant concepts from the design corpus as starting points for UI candidates. Keep the full design brief in `--concept`; optionally write a separate concise visual caption in `--corpus-query` (or `--corpus-query @file`) for reference retrieval, preserving style details wherever they appear in the brief. Hedge caption generation accepts at most 400 characters after whitespace normalization. Longer queries automatically use balanced retrieval with the complete query and a recorded explanation; a short separate caption keeps hedge retrieval. The CLI owns retrieval, downloads, candidate generation, and resumable identities.
 
-    12ui draft --concept "<product, audience, surface, goal, personality; 1485 chars max>" --candidates 4
+    12ui draft --concept "<product, audience, surface, goal, personality>" --corpus-query "<surface, layout, typography, imagery, palette; 400 chars max>" --candidates 4
 
 Prefer 4 or more candidates. Add `--reference <path-or-url>` to carry an existing interface's style into a new page; it retains style and excludes layout, content, and assets by default. Use `--retain layout` only when source geometry should be preserved.
 
 Inspect the real candidate images before continuing. Choose the strongest direction—or present the meaningful choice when the user is involved—rather than averaging them into a generic compromise.
 
-Draft claims one hosted run and keeps every candidate dispatch request in the foreground. Then run `12ui next <run-dir> --wait` to poll, repair only recorded slots that never started, and download the real images into the run directory.
+Draft dispatches in the foreground, then generation continues server-side. Run `12ui next <run-dir> --wait` to collect the real images. Keep the recorded run and follow the CLI's continuation instructions.
 
-Only if needed, read `inspire.md` for how to search the corpus directly.
+Only if needed, read [inspire.md](inspire.md) for direct corpus search.
 
 ## 2. Branch
 
-Use whenever the deliverable is more than one viewport — a full page, a multi-route site, an app with several states — expand the approved design rather than re-deriving it per screen.
+When the deliverable needs more than one viewport—a full page, a multi-route site, or several app states—expand the approved design rather than re-deriving it per screen.
 
-    12ui branch execute --start <image.png> --scope page|site --convert html --prototype --concept "<what the rest of the surface must cover; 1485 chars max>"
+    12ui branch execute --start <image.png> --scope page|site --convert html --prototype --concept "<what the rest of the surface must cover>"
 
-`--scope page` grows that screen into the rest of its page and `--scope site` adds sibling routes and app states. With `--convert html`, ordered `web_page` viewports stay in one continuous page; complete `web_app`, `mobile_app`, and `immersive` states become separate pages so recurring application shells are never stacked into one long document.
+`--scope page` grows the approved screen into its page; `--scope site` adds sibling routes and app states. Ordered `web_page` viewports belong to one continuous page. Complete application states belong to separate pages; recurring shells must not be stacked into one long document. Inspect the returned page/state mapping and any omitted screens.
 
     12ui next <run-dir> --wait
 
-Execute stays in the foreground through its network work; `next` can report progress from a second shell, and `12ui branch resume <run-dir>` continues an interrupted run, replaying already-settled screens for free. Leave the foreground command running rather than building the same pages by hand in the meantime — they are already being produced and paid for. Screens land in `<run-dir>/branch/screens/`; HTML lands in `<run-dir>/branch/pages/`, one file per continuous web page or complete app state.
+Execute stays in the foreground through its work; `next` can report progress from a second shell. `12ui branch resume <run-dir>` continues the recorded run. Avoid independently rebuilding pages while that conversion is running. Screens land in `<run-dir>/branch/screens/`; converted pages land in `<run-dir>/branch/pages/`.
 
-Use `--prototype` with `--convert html` when the deliverable should be clickable. The export becomes a working app — navigation, shared shells, and holding pages for unbuilt routes — written to `<run-dir>/branch/prototype/`.
+Use `--prototype` with `--convert html` for a clickable baseline in `<run-dir>/branch/prototype/`. Inspect navigation, shared shells, and any holding pages. Generated interactions do not replace the application's real data and behavior.
 
-Add `--polish` only when the user wants the opt-in production-feel pass. It runs the retained deterministic, harm-guarded rules after build, records every rule as fired, silent, or reverted, and runs the prototype runtime gates on that polished output.

 ## 3. Convert
 
-When you have a single image to convert (or for example only designing a single viewport), you can directly convert the image instead of branching it.
+For a single approved image, convert directly rather than branching.
 
-    12ui convert <source-image> --output layerdoc|html|html_fixed|svg|png|jpg|webp|pdf|psd|pptx|sketch
+    12ui convert <source-image> --output html --out-dir <run-dir>
 
-`html` is responsive, while `html_fixed` matches the exact dimensions of the source. `--output html` writes both the LayerDoc and responsive HTML beside each other. Derive further formats from that conversion instead of converting again:
+Use the returned editable HTML/CSS and assets as the implementation baseline. Derive another supported output from the saved run or its output directory:
 
-    12ui convert <conversion-id> --output html_fixed,svg,pdf --out-dir <dir> --idempotency-key <stable-key>
+    12ui convert <run-dir-or-output-dir> --output assets|png|jpg|webp|pdf|react --out-dir <dir>
 
-All but `html` are free, deterministic, and parallel; reusing a key replays finished work rather than buying it twice.
+LayerDoc is optional. Native design formats and hosted conversion-ID derivations have different requirements; consult [outputs.md](outputs.md) when those are requested. Keep the run and follow `12ui next <run-dir>` or `12ui resume <run-dir>` for status and recovery.
 
 ## 4. Integrate and close
 
-Avoid rebuilding from scratch because you will lose pixel precision. For a multi-screen HTML branch, use its generated prototype as the interaction and routing baseline before adding application-specific data and behavior.
+Integrate the converted code and real assets into the owning project. Preserve its framework, routes, data, controls, and tests. For multi-screen HTML, use the generated prototype as the routing and interaction baseline before wiring application behavior.
+
+After functionality and content are in place, inspect the real browser against each page or state's original approved image. That image remains the visual authority; a derived document or top-viewport screenshot does not prove alignment for lower regions or other states. Check relevant widths and transitions.
+
+Correct concrete observed mismatches in the owning source and re-render. Preserve paid assets and the requested behavior and content. When the CLI provides project apply, use it for focused alignment with the approved image:
 
-For every non-trivial completed design implementation, close against the original approved design after the requested functionality and content are in place. Each distinct page or state uses its own original approved image or matching unchanged LayerDoc as the target:
+    12ui improve <implemented-url> --target <approved-screen.png> --repo <repo> --apply --out-dir <directory-outside-repo>
 
-    12ui improve <implemented-url> --target <approved-screen.png|approved-screen.layerdoc.json> --repo <repo> --out-dir <kit>
+If project apply is unavailable, omit `--apply` to obtain the existing implementation kit and apply its plan in the owning project. Use the result's source diff, build/test evidence, and browser rendering to verify completion. Do not impose a broad model repair loop when focused normalization suffices or the implementation already matches. Read [improve.md](improve.md) for project apply, hosted kits, and continuous-page coverage.
 
-Read and apply the kit, then compare the rendered result with its approved source at relevant widths and transitions. Keep the requested functional and content changes. Read `improve.md` for target preparation, continuous Branch-page coverage, and recovery.
+Deliver openable code, assets, and observed limitations. State when rendering or application behavior remains unverified.
