+description: Create distinctive, production-grade frontend interfaces with high design quality. Generates creative, polished code that avoids generic AI aesthetics. Use when the user asks to build web components, pages, artifacts, posters, or applications, or when any design skill requires project context. Call with 'craft' for shape-then-build, 'teach' for design context setup, or 'extract' to pull reusable components and tokens into the design system.

+
+<post-update-cleanup>
+BEFORE doing any design work, run this one-time maintenance step. Tell the user:
+
+> **Impeccable was updated.** A few skills were renamed or merged in this version (e.g. `/arrange` is now `/layout`, `/normalize` was folded into `/polish`). I'll clean up the old skill files so they don't clutter your project. This only runs once after an update.
+
+Then run:
+
+```bash
+node .agents/skills/impeccable/scripts/cleanup-deprecated.mjs
+```
+
+If the script removed files, briefly confirm what was cleaned up. If it found nothing, skip any output and move on.
+
+After running the script, delete this entire section (from `<post-update-cleanup>` through `</post-update-cleanup>` inclusive) from THIS file so it does not run again until the next update. Save the file.
+</post-update-cleanup>
+
+This skill guides creation of distinctive, production-grade frontend interfaces that avoid generic "AI slop" aesthetics. Implement real working code with exceptional attention to aesthetic details and creative choices.
+
+## Context Gathering Protocol
+
+Design skills produce generic output without project context. You MUST have confirmed design context before doing any design work.
+
+**Required context** (every design skill needs at minimum):
+- **Target audience**: Who uses this product and in what context?
+- **Use cases**: What jobs are they trying to get done?
+- **Brand personality/tone**: How should the interface feel?
+
+Individual skills may require additional context. Check the skill's preparation section for specifics.
+
+**CRITICAL**: You cannot infer this context by reading the codebase. Code tells you what was built, not who it's for or what it should feel like. Only the creator can provide this context.
+
+**Gathering order:**
+1. **Check current instructions (instant)**: If your loaded instructions already contain a **Design Context** section, proceed immediately.
+2. **Check .impeccable.md (fast)**: If not in instructions, read `.impeccable.md` from the project root. If it exists and contains the required context, proceed.
+3. **Run impeccable teach (REQUIRED)**: If neither source has context, you MUST run /impeccable teach NOW before doing anything else. Do NOT skip this step. Do NOT attempt to infer context from the codebase instead.
+
+---
+
+## Design Direction
+
+Commit to a BOLD aesthetic direction:
+- **Purpose**: What problem does this interface solve? Who uses it?
+- **Tone**: Pick an extreme: brutally minimal, maximalist chaos, retro-futuristic, organic/natural, luxury/refined, playful/toy-like, editorial/magazine, brutalist/raw, art deco/geometric, soft/pastel, industrial/utilitarian, etc. There are so many flavors to choose from. Use these for inspiration but design one that is true to the aesthetic direction.
+- **Constraints**: Technical requirements (framework, performance, accessibility).
+- **Differentiation**: What makes this UNFORGETTABLE? What's the one thing someone will remember?
+
+**CRITICAL**: Choose a clear conceptual direction and execute it with precision. Bold maximalism and refined minimalism both work. The key is intentionality, not intensity.
+
+Then implement working code that is:
+- Production-grade and functional
+- Visually striking and memorable
+- Cohesive with a clear aesthetic point-of-view
+- Meticulously refined in every detail
+
+## Frontend Aesthetics Guidelines
+
+### Typography
+→ *Consult [typography reference](reference/typography.md) for OpenType features, web font loading, and the deeper material on scales.*
+
+Choose fonts that are beautiful, unique, and interesting. Pair a distinctive display font with a refined body font.
+
+<typography_principles>
+Always apply these — do not consult a reference, just do them:
+
+- Use a modular type scale with fluid sizing (clamp) for headings on marketing/content pages. Use fixed `rem` scales for app UIs and dashboards (no major design system uses fluid type in product UI).
+- Use fewer sizes with more contrast. A 5-step scale with at least a 1.25 ratio between steps creates clearer hierarchy than 8 sizes that are 1.1× apart.
+- Line-height scales inversely with line length. Narrow columns want tighter leading, wide columns want more. For light text on dark backgrounds, ADD 0.05-0.1 to your normal line-height — light type reads as lighter weight and needs more breathing room.
+- Cap line length at ~65-75ch. Body text wider than that is fatiguing.
+</typography_principles>
+
+<font_selection_procedure>
+DO THIS BEFORE TYPING ANY FONT NAME.
+
+The model's natural failure mode is "I was told not to use Inter, so I will pick my next favorite font, which becomes the new monoculture." Avoid this by performing the following procedure on every project, in order:
+
+Step 1. Read the brief once. Write down 3 concrete words for the brand voice (e.g., "warm and mechanical and opinionated", "calm and clinical and careful", "fast and dense and unimpressed", "handmade and a little weird"). NOT "modern" or "elegant" — those are dead categories.
+
+Step 2. List the 3 fonts you would normally reach for given those words. Write them down. They are most likely from this list:
+
+<reflex_fonts_to_reject>
+Fraunces
+Newsreader
+Lora
+Crimson
+Crimson Pro
+Crimson Text
+Playfair Display
+Cormorant
+Cormorant Garamond
+Syne
+IBM Plex Mono
+IBM Plex Sans
+IBM Plex Serif
+Space Mono
+Space Grotesk
+Inter
+DM Sans
+DM Serif Display
+DM Serif Text
+Outfit
+Plus Jakarta Sans
+Instrument Sans
+Instrument Serif
+</reflex_fonts_to_reject>
+
+Reject every font that appears in the reflex_fonts_to_reject list. They are your training-data defaults and they create monoculture across projects.
+
+Step 3. Browse a font catalog with the 3 brand words in mind. Sources: Google Fonts, Pangram Pangram, Future Fonts, Adobe Fonts, ABC Dinamo, Klim Type Foundry, Velvetyne. Look for something that fits the brand as a *physical object* — a museum exhibit caption, a hand-painted shop sign, a 1970s mainframe terminal manual, a fabric label on the inside of a coat, a children's book printed on cheap newsprint. Reject the first thing that "looks designy" — that's the trained reflex too. Keep looking.
+
+Step 4. Cross-check the result. The right font for an "elegant" brief is NOT necessarily a serif. The right font for a "technical" brief is NOT necessarily a sans-serif. The right font for a "warm" brief is NOT Fraunces. If your final pick lines up with your reflex pattern, go back to Step 3.
+</font_selection_procedure>
+
+<typography_rules>
+DO use a modular type scale with fluid sizing (clamp) on headings.
+DO vary font weights and sizes to create clear visual hierarchy.
+DO vary your font choices across projects. If you used a serif display font on the last project, look for a sans, monospace, or display face on this one.
+
+DO NOT use overused fonts like Inter, Roboto, Arial, Open Sans, or system defaults — but also do not simply switch to your second-favorite. Every font in the reflex_fonts_to_reject list above is banned. Look further.
+DO NOT use monospace typography as lazy shorthand for "technical/developer" vibes.
+DO NOT put large icons with rounded corners above every heading. They rarely add value and make sites look templated.
+DO NOT use only one font family for the entire page. Pair a distinctive display font with a refined body font.
+DO NOT use a flat type hierarchy where sizes are too close together. Aim for at least a 1.25 ratio between steps.
+DO NOT set long body passages in uppercase. Reserve all-caps for short labels and headings.
+</typography_rules>
+
+### Color & Theme
+→ *Consult [color reference](reference/color-and-contrast.md) for the deeper material on contrast, accessibility, and palette construction.*
+
+Commit to a cohesive palette. Dominant colors with sharp accents outperform timid, evenly-distributed palettes.
+
+<color_principles>
+Always apply these — do not consult a reference, just do them:
+
+- Use OKLCH, not HSL. OKLCH is perceptually uniform: equal steps in lightness *look* equal, which HSL does not deliver. As you move toward white or black, REDUCE chroma — high chroma at extreme lightness looks garish. A light blue at 85% lightness wants ~0.08 chroma, not the 0.15 of your base color.
+- Tint your neutrals toward your brand hue. Even a chroma of 0.005-0.01 is perceptible and creates subconscious cohesion between brand color and UI surfaces. The hue you tint toward should come from THIS brand, not from a "warm = friendly" or "cool = tech" formula. Pick the brand's actual hue first, then tint everything toward it.
+- The 60-30-10 rule is about visual *weight*, not pixel count. 60% neutral / surface, 30% secondary text and borders, 10% accent. Accents work BECAUSE they're rare. Overuse kills their power.
+</color_principles>
+
+<theme_selection>
+Theme (light vs dark) should be DERIVED from audience and viewing context, not picked from a default. Read the brief and ask: when is this product used, by whom, in what physical setting?
+
+- A perp DEX consumed during fast trading sessions → dark
+- A hospital portal consumed by anxious patients on phones late at night → light
+- A children's reading app → light
+- A vintage motorcycle forum where users sit in their garage at 9pm → dark
+- An observability dashboard for SREs in a dark office → dark
+- A wedding planning checklist for couples on a Sunday morning → light
+- A music player app for headphone listening at night → dark
+- A food magazine homepage browsed during a coffee break → light
+
+Do not default everything to light "to play it safe." Do not default everything to dark "to look cool." Both defaults are the lazy reflex. The correct theme is the one the actual user wants in their actual context.
+</theme_selection>
+
+<color_rules>
+DO use modern CSS color functions (oklch, color-mix, light-dark) for perceptually uniform, maintainable palettes.
+DO tint your neutrals toward your brand hue. Even a subtle hint creates subconscious cohesion.
+
+DO NOT use gray text on colored backgrounds; it looks washed out. Use a shade of the background color instead.
+DO NOT use pure black (#000) or pure white (#fff). Always tint; pure black/white never appears in nature.
+DO NOT use the AI color palette: cyan-on-dark, purple-to-blue gradients, neon accents on dark backgrounds.
+DO NOT use gradient text for impact — see <absolute_bans> below for the strict definition. Solid colors only for text.
+DO NOT default to dark mode with glowing accents. It looks "cool" without requiring actual design decisions.
+DO NOT default to light mode "to be safe" either. The point is to choose, not to retreat to a safe option.
+</color_rules>
+
+### Layout & Space
+→ *Consult [spatial reference](reference/spatial-design.md) for the deeper material on grids, container queries, and optical adjustments.*
+
+Create visual rhythm through varied spacing, not the same padding everywhere. Embrace asymmetry and unexpected compositions. Break the grid intentionally for emphasis.
+
+<spatial_principles>
+Always apply these — do not consult a reference, just do them:
+
+- Use a 4pt spacing scale with semantic token names (`--space-sm`, `--space-md`), not pixel-named (`--spacing-8`). Scale: 4, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 48, 64, 96. 8pt is too coarse — you'll often want 12px between two values.
+- Use `gap` instead of margins for sibling spacing. It eliminates margin collapse and the cleanup hacks that come with it.
+- Vary spacing for hierarchy. A heading with extra space above it reads as more important — make use of that. Don't apply the same padding everywhere.
+- Self-adjusting grid pattern: `grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(280px, 1fr))` is the breakpoint-free responsive grid for card-style content.
+- Container queries are for components, viewport queries are for page layout. A card in a sidebar should adapt to the sidebar's width, not the viewport's.
+</spatial_principles>
+
+<spatial_rules>
+DO create visual rhythm through varied spacing: tight groupings, generous separations.
+DO use fluid spacing with clamp() that breathes on larger screens.
+DO use asymmetry and unexpected compositions; break the grid intentionally for emphasis.
+
+DO NOT wrap everything in cards. Not everything needs a container.
+DO NOT nest cards inside cards. Visual noise; flatten the hierarchy.
+DO NOT use identical card grids (same-sized cards with icon + heading + text, repeated endlessly).
+DO NOT use the hero metric layout template (big number, small label, supporting stats, gradient accent).
+DO NOT center everything. Left-aligned text with asymmetric layouts feels more designed.
+DO NOT use the same spacing everywhere. Without rhythm, layouts feel monotonous.
+DO NOT let body text wrap beyond ~80 characters per line. Add a max-width like 65–75ch so the eye can track easily.
+</spatial_rules>
+
+### Visual Details
+
+<absolute_bans>
+These CSS patterns are NEVER acceptable. They are the most recognizable AI design tells. Match-and-refuse: if you find yourself about to write any of these, stop and rewrite the element with a different structure entirely.
+
+BAN 1: Side-stripe borders on cards/list items/callouts/alerts
+  - PATTERN: `border-left:` or `border-right:` with width greater than 1px
+  - INCLUDES: hard-coded colors AND CSS variables
+  - FORBIDDEN: `border-left: 3px solid red`, `border-left: 4px solid #ff0000`, `border-left: 4px solid var(--color-warning)`, `border-left: 5px solid oklch(...)`, etc.
+  - WHY: this is the single most overused "design touch" in admin, dashboard, and medical UIs. It never looks intentional regardless of color, radius, opacity, or whether the variable name is "primary" or "warning" or "accent."
+  - REWRITE: use a different element structure entirely. Do not just swap to box-shadow inset. Reach for full borders, background tints, leading numbers/icons, or no visual indicator at all.
+
+BAN 2: Gradient text
+  - PATTERN: `background-clip: text` (or `-webkit-background-clip: text`) combined with a gradient background
+  - FORBIDDEN: any combination that makes text fill come from a `linear-gradient`, `radial-gradient`, or `conic-gradient`
+  - WHY: gradient text is decorative rather than meaningful and is one of the top three AI design tells
+  - REWRITE: use a single solid color for text. If you want emphasis, use weight or size, not gradient fill.
+</absolute_bans>
+
+DO: Use intentional, purposeful decorative elements that reinforce brand.
+DO NOT: Use border-left or border-right greater than 1px as a colored accent stripe on cards, list items, callouts, or alerts. See <absolute_bans> above for the strict CSS pattern.
+DO NOT: Use glassmorphism everywhere (blur effects, glass cards, glow borders used decoratively rather than purposefully).
+DO NOT: Use sparklines as decoration. Tiny charts that look sophisticated but convey nothing meaningful.
+DO NOT: Use rounded rectangles with generic drop shadows. Safe, forgettable, could be any AI output.
+DO NOT: Use modals unless there's truly no better alternative. Modals are lazy.
+
+### Motion
+→ *Consult [motion reference](reference/motion-design.md) for timing, easing, and reduced motion.*
+
+Focus on high-impact moments: one well-orchestrated page load with staggered reveals creates more delight than scattered micro-interactions.
+
+**DO**: Use motion to convey state changes: entrances, exits, feedback
+**DO**: Use exponential easing (ease-out-quart/quint/expo) for natural deceleration
+**DO**: For height animations, use grid-template-rows transitions instead of animating height directly
+**DON'T**: Animate layout properties (width, height, padding, margin). Use transform and opacity only
+**DON'T**: Use bounce or elastic easing. They feel dated and tacky; real objects decelerate smoothly
+
+### Interaction
+→ *Consult [interaction reference](reference/interaction-design.md) for forms, focus, and loading patterns.*
+
+Make interactions feel fast. Use optimistic UI: update immediately, sync later.
+
+**DO**: Use progressive disclosure. Start simple, reveal sophistication through interaction (basic options first, advanced behind expandable sections; hover states that reveal secondary actions)
+**DO**: Design empty states that teach the interface, not just say "nothing here"
+**DO**: Make every interactive surface feel intentional and responsive
+**DON'T**: Repeat the same information (redundant headers, intros that restate the heading)
+**DON'T**: Make every button primary. Use ghost buttons, text links, secondary styles; hierarchy matters
+
+### Responsive
+→ *Consult [responsive reference](reference/responsive-design.md) for mobile-first, fluid design, and container queries.*
+
+**DO**: Use container queries (@container) for component-level responsiveness
+**DO**: Adapt the interface for different contexts, not just shrink it
+**DON'T**: Hide critical functionality on mobile. Adapt the interface, don't amputate it
+
+### UX Writing
+→ *Consult [ux-writing reference](reference/ux-writing.md) for labels, errors, and empty states.*
+
+**DO**: Make every word earn its place
+**DON'T**: Repeat information users can already see
+
+---
+
+## The AI Slop Test
+
+**Critical quality check**: If you showed this interface to someone and said "AI made this," would they believe you immediately? If yes, that's the problem.
+
+A distinctive interface should make someone ask "how was this made?" not "which AI made this?"
+
+Review the DON'T guidelines above. They are the fingerprints of AI-generated work from 2024-2025.
+
+---
+
+## Implementation Principles
+
+Match implementation complexity to the aesthetic vision. Maximalist designs need elaborate code with extensive animations and effects. Minimalist or refined designs need restraint, precision, and careful attention to spacing, typography, and subtle details.
+
+Interpret creatively and make unexpected choices that feel genuinely designed for the context. No design should be the same. Vary between light and dark themes, different fonts, different aesthetics. NEVER converge on common choices across generations.
+
+Remember: the model is capable of extraordinary creative work. Don't hold back. Show what can truly be created when thinking outside the box and committing fully to a distinctive vision.
+
+---
+
+## Craft Mode
+
+If this skill is invoked with the argument "craft" (e.g., `/impeccable craft [feature description]`), follow the [craft flow](reference/craft.md). Pass any additional arguments as the feature description.
+
+---
+
+## Teach Mode
+
+If this skill is invoked with the argument "teach" (e.g., `/impeccable teach`), skip all design work above and instead run the teach flow below. This is a one-time setup that gathers design context for the project.
+
+### Step 1: Explore the Codebase
+
+Before asking questions, thoroughly scan the project to discover what you can:
+
+- **README and docs**: Project purpose, target audience, any stated goals
+- **Package.json / config files**: Tech stack, dependencies, existing design libraries
+- **Existing components**: Current design patterns, spacing, typography in use
+- **Brand assets**: Logos, favicons, color values already defined
+- **Design tokens / CSS variables**: Existing color palettes, font stacks, spacing scales
+- **Any style guides or brand documentation**
+
+Note what you've learned and what remains unclear.
+
+### Step 2: Ask UX-Focused Questions
+
+ask the user directly to clarify what you cannot infer. Focus only on what you couldn't infer from the codebase:
+
+#### Users & Purpose
+- Who uses this? What's their context when using it?
+- What job are they trying to get done?
+- What emotions should the interface evoke? (confidence, delight, calm, urgency, etc.)
+
+#### Brand & Personality
+- How would you describe the brand personality in 3 words?
+- Any reference sites or apps that capture the right feel? What specifically about them?
+- What should this explicitly NOT look like? Any anti-references?
+
+#### Aesthetic Preferences
+- Any strong preferences for visual direction? (minimal, bold, elegant, playful, technical, organic, etc.)
+- Light mode, dark mode, or both?
+- Any colors that must be used or avoided?
+
+#### Accessibility & Inclusion
+- Specific accessibility requirements? (WCAG level, known user needs)
+- Considerations for reduced motion, color blindness, or other accommodations?
+
+Skip questions where the answer is already clear from the codebase exploration.
+
+### Step 3: Write Design Context
+
+Synthesize your findings and the user's answers into a `## Design Context` section:
+
+```markdown
+## Design Context
+
+### Users
+[Who they are, their context, the job to be done]
+
+### Brand Personality
+[Voice, tone, 3-word personality, emotional goals]
+
+### Aesthetic Direction
+[Visual tone, references, anti-references, theme]
+
+### Design Principles
+[3-5 principles derived from the conversation that should guide all design decisions]
+```
+
+Write this section to `.impeccable.md` in the project root. If the file already exists, update the Design Context section in place.
+
+Then ask the user directly to clarify what you cannot infer. whether they'd also like the Design Context appended to .github/copilot-instructions.md. If yes, append or update the section there as well.
+
+Confirm completion and summarize the key design principles that will now guide all future work.
+
+---
+
+## Extract Mode
+
+If this skill is invoked with the argument "extract" (e.g., `/impeccable extract [target]`), follow the [extract flow](reference/extract.md). Pass any additional arguments as the extraction target.

+# Color & Contrast
+
+## Color Spaces: Use OKLCH
+
+**Stop using HSL.** Use OKLCH (or LCH) instead. It's perceptually uniform, meaning equal steps in lightness *look* equal—unlike HSL where 50% lightness in yellow looks bright while 50% in blue looks dark.
+
+The OKLCH function takes three components: `oklch(lightness chroma hue)` where lightness is 0-100%, chroma is roughly 0-0.4, and hue is 0-360. To build a primary color and its lighter / darker variants, hold the chroma+hue roughly constant and vary the lightness — but **reduce chroma as you approach white or black**, because high chroma at extreme lightness looks garish.
+
+The hue you pick is a brand decision and should not come from a default. Do not reach for blue (hue 250) or warm orange (hue 60) by reflex — those are the dominant AI-design defaults, not the right answer for any specific brand.
+
+## Building Functional Palettes
+
+### Tinted Neutrals
+
+**Pure gray is dead.** A neutral with zero chroma feels lifeless next to a colored brand. Add a tiny chroma value (0.005-0.015) to all your neutrals, hued toward whatever your brand color is. The chroma is small enough not to read as "tinted" consciously, but it creates subconscious cohesion between brand color and UI surfaces.
+
+The hue you tint toward should come from THIS project's brand, not from a "warm = friendly, cool = tech" formula. If your brand color is teal, your neutrals lean toward teal. If your brand color is amber, they lean toward amber. The point is cohesion with the SPECIFIC brand, not a stock palette.
+
+**Avoid** the trap of always tinting toward warm orange or always tinting toward cool blue. Those are the two laziest defaults and they create their own monoculture across projects.
+
+### Palette Structure
+
+A complete system needs:
+
+| Role | Purpose | Example |
+|------|---------|---------|
+| **Primary** | Brand, CTAs, key actions | 1 color, 3-5 shades |
+| **Neutral** | Text, backgrounds, borders | 9-11 shade scale |
+| **Semantic** | Success, error, warning, info | 4 colors, 2-3 shades each |
+| **Surface** | Cards, modals, overlays | 2-3 elevation levels |
+
+**Skip secondary/tertiary unless you need them.** Most apps work fine with one accent color. Adding more creates decision fatigue and visual noise.
+
+### The 60-30-10 Rule (Applied Correctly)
+
+This rule is about **visual weight**, not pixel count:
+
+- **60%**: Neutral backgrounds, white space, base surfaces
+- **30%**: Secondary colors—text, borders, inactive states
+- **10%**: Accent—CTAs, highlights, focus states
+
+The common mistake: using the accent color everywhere because it's "the brand color." Accent colors work *because* they're rare. Overuse kills their power.
+
+## Contrast & Accessibility
+
+### WCAG Requirements
+
+| Content Type | AA Minimum | AAA Target |
+|--------------|------------|------------|
+| Body text | 4.5:1 | 7:1 |
+| Large text (18px+ or 14px bold) | 3:1 | 4.5:1 |
+| UI components, icons | 3:1 | 4.5:1 |
+| Non-essential decorations | None | None |
+
+**The gotcha**: Placeholder text still needs 4.5:1. That light gray placeholder you see everywhere? Usually fails WCAG.
+
+### Dangerous Color Combinations
+
+These commonly fail contrast or cause readability issues:
+
+- Light gray text on white (the #1 accessibility fail)
+- **Gray text on any colored background**—gray looks washed out and dead on color. Use a darker shade of the background color, or transparency
+- Red text on green background (or vice versa)—8% of men can't distinguish these
+- Blue text on red background (vibrates visually)
+- Yellow text on white (almost always fails)
+- Thin light text on images (unpredictable contrast)
+
+### Never Use Pure Gray or Pure Black
+
+Pure gray (`oklch(50% 0 0)`) and pure black (`#000`) don't exist in nature—real shadows and surfaces always have a color cast. Even a chroma of 0.005-0.01 is enough to feel natural without being obviously tinted. (See tinted neutrals example above.)
+
+### Testing
+
+Don't trust your eyes. Use tools:
+
+- [WebAIM Contrast Checker](https://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/)
+- Browser DevTools → Rendering → Emulate vision deficiencies
+- [Polypane](https://polypane.app/) for real-time testing
+
+## Theming: Light & Dark Mode
+
+### Dark Mode Is Not Inverted Light Mode
+
+You can't just swap colors. Dark mode requires different design decisions:
+
+| Light Mode | Dark Mode |
+|------------|-----------|
+| Shadows for depth | Lighter surfaces for depth (no shadows) |
+| Dark text on light | Light text on dark (reduce font weight) |
+| Vibrant accents | Desaturate accents slightly |
+| White backgrounds | Never pure black—use dark gray (oklch 12-18%) |
+
+In dark mode, depth comes from surface lightness, not shadow. Build a 3-step surface scale where higher elevations are lighter (e.g. 15% / 20% / 25% lightness). Use the SAME hue and chroma as your brand color (whatever it is for THIS project — do not reach for blue) and only vary the lightness. Reduce body text weight slightly (e.g. 350 instead of 400) because light text on dark reads as heavier than dark text on light.
+
+### Token Hierarchy
+
+Use two layers: primitive tokens (`--blue-500`) and semantic tokens (`--color-primary: var(--blue-500)`). For dark mode, only redefine the semantic layer—primitives stay the same.
+
+## Alpha Is A Design Smell
+
+Heavy use of transparency (rgba, hsla) usually means an incomplete palette. Alpha creates unpredictable contrast, performance overhead, and inconsistency. Define explicit overlay colors for each context instead. Exception: focus rings and interactive states where see-through is needed.
+
+---
+
+**Avoid**: Relying on color alone to convey information. Creating palettes without clear roles for each color. Using pure black (#000) for large areas. Skipping color blindness testing (8% of men affected).

+# Craft Flow
+
+Build a feature with impeccable UX and UI quality through a structured process: shape the design, load the right references, then build and iterate visually until the result is delightful.
+
+## Step 1: Shape the Design
+
+Run /shape, passing along whatever feature description the user provided.
+
+Wait for the design brief to be fully confirmed before proceeding. The brief is your blueprint, and every implementation decision should trace back to it.
+
+If the user has already run /shape and has a confirmed design brief, skip this step and use the existing brief.
+
+## Step 2: Load References
+
+Based on the design brief's "Recommended References" section, consult the relevant impeccable reference files. At minimum, always consult:
+
+- [spatial-design.md](spatial-design.md) for layout and spacing
+- [typography.md](typography.md) for type hierarchy
+
+Then add references based on the brief's needs:
+- Complex interactions or forms? Consult [interaction-design.md](interaction-design.md)
+- Animation or transitions? Consult [motion-design.md](motion-design.md)
+- Color-heavy or themed? Consult [color-and-contrast.md](color-and-contrast.md)
+- Responsive requirements? Consult [responsive-design.md](responsive-design.md)
+- Heavy on copy, labels, or errors? Consult [ux-writing.md](ux-writing.md)
+
+## Step 3: Build
+
+Implement the feature following the design brief. Work in this order:
+
+1. **Structure first**: HTML/semantic structure for the primary state. No styling yet.
+2. **Layout and spacing**: Establish the spatial rhythm and visual hierarchy.
+3. **Typography and color**: Apply the type scale and color system.
+4. **Interactive states**: Hover, focus, active, disabled.
+5. **Edge case states**: Empty, loading, error, overflow, first-run.
+6. **Motion**: Purposeful transitions and animations (if appropriate).
+7. **Responsive**: Adapt for different viewports. Don't just shrink; redesign for the context.
+
+### During Build
+- Test with real (or realistic) data at every step, not placeholder text
+- Check each state as you build it, not all at the end
+- If you discover a design question, stop and ask rather than guessing
+- Every visual choice should trace back to something in the design brief
+
+## Step 4: Visual Iteration
+
+**This step is critical.** Do not stop after the first implementation pass.
+
+Open the result in a browser window. If browser automation tools are available, use them to navigate to the page and visually inspect the result. If not, ask the user to open it and provide feedback.
+
+Iterate through these checks visually:
+
+1. **Does it match the brief?** Compare the live result against every section of the design brief. Fix discrepancies.
+2. **Does it pass the AI slop test?** If someone saw this and said "AI made this," would they believe it immediately? If yes, it needs more design intention.
+3. **Check against impeccable's DON'T guidelines.** Fix any anti-pattern violations.
+4. **Check every state.** Navigate through empty, error, loading, and edge case states. Each one should feel intentional, not like an afterthought.
+5. **Check responsive.** Resize the viewport. Does it adapt well or just shrink?
+6. **Check the details.** Spacing consistency, type hierarchy clarity, color contrast, interactive feedback, motion timing.
+
+After each round of fixes, visually verify again. **Repeat until you would be proud to show this to the user.** The bar is not "it works"; the bar is "this delights."
+
+## Step 5: Present
+
+Present the result to the user:
+- Show the feature in its primary state
+- Walk through the key states (empty, error, responsive)
+- Explain design decisions that connect back to the design brief
+- Ask: "What's working? What isn't?"
+
+Iterate based on feedback. Good design is rarely right on the first pass.

+# Extract Flow
+
+Identify reusable patterns, components, and design tokens, then extract and consolidate them into the design system for systematic reuse.
+
+## Step 1: Discover the Design System
+
+Find the design system, component library, or shared UI directory. Understand its structure: component organization, naming conventions, design token structure, import/export conventions.
+
+**CRITICAL**: If no design system exists, ask the user directly to clarify what you cannot infer. before creating one. Understand the preferred location and structure first.
+
+## Step 2: Identify Patterns
+
+Look for extraction opportunities in the target area:
+
+- **Repeated components**: Similar UI patterns used 3+ times (buttons, cards, inputs)
+- **Hard-coded values**: Colors, spacing, typography, shadows that should be tokens
+- **Inconsistent variations**: Multiple implementations of the same concept
+- **Composition patterns**: Layout or interaction patterns that repeat (form rows, toolbar groups, empty states)
+- **Type styles**: Repeated font-size + weight + line-height combinations
+- **Animation patterns**: Repeated easing, duration, or keyframe combinations
+
+Assess value: only extract things used 3+ times with the same intent. Premature abstraction is worse than duplication.
+
+## Step 3: Plan Extraction
+
+Create a systematic plan:
+
+- **Components to extract**: Which UI elements become reusable components?
+- **Tokens to create**: Which hard-coded values become design tokens?
+- **Variants to support**: What variations does each component need?
+- **Naming conventions**: Component names, token names, prop names that match existing patterns
+- **Migration path**: How to refactor existing uses to consume the new shared versions
+
+**IMPORTANT**: Design systems grow incrementally. Extract what is clearly reusable now, not everything that might someday be reusable.
+
+## Step 4: Extract & Enrich
+
+Build improved, reusable versions:
+
+- **Components**: Clear props API with sensible defaults, proper variants for different use cases, accessibility built in (ARIA, keyboard navigation, focus management), documentation and usage examples
+- **Design tokens**: Clear naming (primitive vs semantic), proper hierarchy and organization, documentation of when to use each token
+- **Patterns**: When to use this pattern, code examples, variations and combinations
+
+## Step 5: Migrate
+
+Replace existing uses with the new shared versions:
+
+- **Find all instances**: Search for the patterns you extracted
+- **Replace systematically**: Update each use to consume the shared version
+- **Test thoroughly**: Ensure visual and functional parity
+- **Delete dead code**: Remove the old implementations
+
+## Step 6: Document
+
+Update design system documentation:
+
+- Add new components to the component library
+- Document token usage and values
+- Add examples and guidelines
+- Update any Storybook or component catalog
+
+**NEVER**:
+- Extract one-off, context-specific implementations without generalization
+- Create components so generic they are useless
+- Extract without considering existing design system conventions
+- Skip proper TypeScript types or prop documentation
+- Create tokens for every single value (tokens should have semantic meaning)
+- Extract things that differ in intent (two buttons that look similar but serve different purposes should stay separate)
+
+Remember: A good design system is a living system. Extract patterns as they emerge, enrich them thoughtfully, and maintain them consistently.
