+# Visual Direction Reference
+
+Use this reference when a new app or workspace needs a visual point of view and
+does not already have an established brand system. It adapts the useful parts
+of Impeccable's workflow: understand the product, name the surface mode, deal
+several coherent directions, commit to one, and audit the result for defaults
+that became the design by accident.
+
+## The direction contract
+
+Before writing UI, capture these decisions in the app's `DESIGN.md`:
+
+| Decision             | What to record                                                      |
+| -------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| Product mode         | `operate`, `read`, `persuade`, or `experience`                      |
+| Audience and cadence | Who uses it, how often, and under what conditions                   |
+| Visual world         | A short name and the feeling it creates                             |
+| Palette family       | The semantic accent family and neutral undertone                    |
+| Type treatment       | Sans-first, editorial contrast, or display-led emphasis             |
+| Composition          | Dense console, focused workbench, document, canvas, or guided steps |
+| Shape language       | Quiet corners, crisp geometry, or soft utility surfaces             |
+| Anti-references      | Defaults this app must not drift toward                             |
+
+`DESIGN.md` is a portable design contract, not a license to bypass the app's
+tokens or component system. If the app already has a brand system, document it
+and preserve it. If it does not, choose a direction before styling.
+
+## Palette families
+
+Use one family as an accent and keep the rest of the system semantic and quiet.
+These are starting points, not a fixed theme library:
+
+| Family           | Good fit                                    | Typical character                 |
+| ---------------- | ------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------- |
+| Ink / graphite   | Admin, security, sensitive review           | Serious, low-noise, high contrast |
+| Cobalt / sky     | Planning, collaboration, scheduling         | Clear, trustworthy, alert         |
+| Pine / teal      | Automation, systems, finance, data          | Calm, capable, grounded           |
+| Indigo / violet  | Slides, creative tools, research            | Exploratory, focused, expressive  |
+| Plum / berry     | Publishing, knowledge, editorial work       | Distinctive, thoughtful, human    |
+| Coral / rose     | Communication, people, customer workflows   | Warm, direct, social              |
+| Ochre / citron   | Lightweight planning or energetic utilities | Optimistic, sparing, directional  |
+| Paper / charcoal | Long-form reading, exports, approvals       | Tactile, restrained, legible      |
+
+Do not make warm beige plus terracotta the universal fallback. Do not rotate
+through saturated colors mechanically. Choose the family that supports the
+workflow, then verify contrast, dark mode, focus states, destructive states,
+and the sidebar boundary.
+
+## Variation without chaos
+
+Vary at least two independent axes when sibling apps share a workspace:
+
+- accent family or neutral undertone;
+- information density and page composition;
+- type contrast and display treatment;
+- radius and border language;
+- navigation emphasis and use of whitespace.
+
+Keep shared behavior, semantic token names, accessibility, and AgentSidebar
+placement consistent. The goal is a family of products, not five unrelated
+themes and not five copies of the same starter.
+
+For a batch of apps, keep a small direction ledger in the workspace
+`DESIGN.md` or the handoff. Record each app's mode, direction, and palette
+family, then choose a new family or a clearly different composition for the
+next app unless an existing brand requires reuse. Never copy a sibling's
+`global.css` palette block or treat the last app's accent as the generator
+default.
+
+## Review vocabulary
+
+Make one named intervention at a time so the agent can reason about the
+change:
+
+- `distill` - remove copy, controls, cards, and chrome that do not serve the
+  next decision;
+- `typeset` - repair hierarchy, measure, line length, and emphasis;
+- `colorize` - establish a restrained semantic palette and contrast states;
+- `layout` - repair grouping, density, alignment, and responsive composition;
+- `polish` - resolve the small visual inconsistencies after the structure is
+  right;
+- `audit` - check slop, accessibility, responsive behavior, and visual drift.
+
+Do not average several directions into a generic compromise. Deal two or three
+coherent options when the brief is open, select one, and encode the decision in
+tokens and `DESIGN.md`.
+
+## Anti-slop audit
+
+Before handoff, inspect the first viewport and ask:
+
+- Did the app inherit the neighboring app's palette or hero layout without a
+  product reason?
+- Are there equal-weight cards, status chips, helper paragraphs, or controls
+  that should be removed or disclosed?
+- Does the typography fit the product mode instead of decorating the shell?
+- Is the AgentSidebar distinct but quiet, with the domain page still primary?
+- Are focus, loading, empty, error, dark, and narrow-width states part of the
+  same design direction?

+
+## The direction contract
+
+Before writing UI, capture these decisions in the app's `DESIGN.md`:
+
+| Decision             | What to record                                                      |

+`DESIGN.md` is a portable design contract, not a license to bypass the app's
+tokens or component system. If the app already has a brand system, document it
+and preserve it. If it does not, choose a direction before styling.
+
+## Palette families
+
+Use one family as an accent and keep the rest of the system semantic and quiet.
+These are starting points, not a fixed theme library:
+
+| Family           | Good fit                                    | Typical character                 |
+| ---------------- | ------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------- |
+| Ink / graphite   | Admin, security, sensitive review           | Serious, low-noise, high contrast |
+| Cobalt / sky     | Planning, collaboration, scheduling         | Clear, trustworthy, alert         |
+| Pine / teal      | Automation, systems, finance, data          | Calm, capable, grounded           |
+| Indigo / violet  | Slides, creative tools, research            | Exploratory, focused, expressive  |
+| Plum / berry     | Publishing, knowledge, editorial work       | Distinctive, thoughtful, human    |
+| Coral / rose     | Communication, people, customer workflows   | Warm, direct, social              |
+| Ochre / citron   | Lightweight planning or energetic utilities | Optimistic, sparing, directional  |
+| Paper / charcoal | Long-form reading, exports, approvals       | Tactile, restrained, legible      |
+
+Do not make warm beige plus terracotta the universal fallback. Do not rotate
+through saturated colors mechanically. Choose the family that supports the
+workflow, then verify contrast, dark mode, focus states, destructive states,
+and the sidebar boundary.
+
+## Variation without chaos
+
+Vary at least two independent axes when sibling apps share a workspace:
+
+- accent family or neutral undertone;
+- information density and page composition;
+- type contrast and display treatment;
+- radius and border language;
+- navigation emphasis and use of whitespace.
+
+Keep shared behavior, semantic token names, accessibility, and AgentSidebar
+placement consistent. The goal is a family of products, not five unrelated
+themes and not five copies of the same starter.
+
+For a batch of apps, keep a small direction ledger in the workspace
+`DESIGN.md` or the handoff. Record each app's mode, direction, and palette
+family, then choose a new family or a clearly different composition for the
+next app unless an existing brand requires reuse. Never copy a sibling's
+`global.css` palette block or treat the last app's accent as the generator
+default.
+
+## Review vocabulary
+
+Make one named intervention at a time so the agent can reason about the
+change:
+
+- `distill` - remove copy, controls, cards, and chrome that do not serve the
+  next decision;
+- `typeset` - repair hierarchy, measure, line length, and emphasis;
+- `colorize` - establish a restrained semantic palette and contrast states;
+- `layout` - repair grouping, density, alignment, and responsive composition;
+- `polish` - resolve the small visual inconsistencies after the structure is
+  right;
+- `audit` - check slop, accessibility, responsive behavior, and visual drift.
+
+Do not average several directions into a generic compromise. Deal two or three
+coherent options when the brief is open, select one, and encode the decision in
+tokens and `DESIGN.md`.
+
+## Anti-slop audit
+
+Before handoff, inspect the first viewport and ask:
+
+- Did the app inherit the neighboring app's palette or hero layout without a
+  product reason?
+- Are there equal-weight cards, status chips, helper paragraphs, or controls
+  that should be removed or disclosed?
+- Does the typography fit the product mode instead of decorating the shell?
+- Is the AgentSidebar distinct but quiet, with the domain page still primary?
+- Are focus, loading, empty, error, dark, and narrow-width states part of the
+  same design direction?
