+> **Additional context needed**: target platforms/devices and usage contexts.
+
+Adapt an existing design to a different context: another screen size, device, platform, or use case. The trap is treating adaptation as scaling. The job is rethinking the experience for the new context.
+
+
+---
+
+## Assess Adaptation Challenge
+
+Understand what needs adaptation and why:
+
+1. **Identify the source context**:
+   - What was it designed for originally? (Desktop web? Mobile app?)
+   - What assumptions were made? (Large screen? Mouse input? Fast connection?)
+   - What works well in current context?
+
+2. **Understand target context**:
+   - **Device**: Mobile, tablet, desktop, TV, watch, print?
+   - **Input method**: Touch, mouse, keyboard, voice, gamepad?
+   - **Screen constraints**: Size, resolution, orientation?
+   - **Connection**: Fast wifi, slow 3G, offline?
+   - **Usage context**: On-the-go vs desk, quick glance vs focused reading?
+   - **User expectations**: What do users expect on this platform?
+
+3. **Identify adaptation challenges**:
+   - What won't fit? (Content, navigation, features)
+   - What won't work? (Hover states on touch, tiny touch targets)
+   - What's inappropriate? (Desktop patterns on mobile, mobile patterns on desktop)
+
+**CRITICAL**: Adaptation is rethinking the experience for the new context, not scaling pixels.
+
+## Plan Adaptation Strategy
+
+Create context-appropriate strategy:
+
+### Mobile Adaptation (Desktop → Mobile)
+
+**Layout Strategy**:
+- Single column instead of multi-column
+- Vertical stacking instead of side-by-side
+- Full-width components instead of fixed widths
+- Bottom navigation instead of top/side navigation
+
+**Interaction Strategy**:
+- Touch targets 44x44px minimum (not hover-dependent)
+- Swipe gestures where appropriate (lists, carousels)
+- Bottom sheets instead of dropdowns
+- Thumbs-first design (controls within thumb reach)
+- Larger tap areas with more spacing
+
+**Content Strategy**:
+- Progressive disclosure (don't show everything at once)
+- Prioritize primary content (secondary content in tabs/accordions)
+- Shorter text (more concise)
+- Larger text (16px minimum)
+
+**Navigation Strategy**:
+- Hamburger menu or bottom navigation
+- Reduce navigation complexity
+- Sticky headers for context
+- Back button in navigation flow
+
+### Tablet Adaptation (Hybrid Approach)
+
+**Layout Strategy**:
+- Two-column layouts (not single or three-column)
+- Side panels for secondary content
+- Master-detail views (list + detail)
+- Adaptive based on orientation (portrait vs landscape)
+
+**Interaction Strategy**:
+- Support both touch and pointer
+- Touch targets 44x44px but allow denser layouts than phone
+- Side navigation drawers
+- Multi-column forms where appropriate
+
+### Desktop Adaptation (Mobile → Desktop)
+
+**Layout Strategy**:
+- Multi-column layouts (use horizontal space)
+- Side navigation always visible
+- Multiple information panels simultaneously
+- Fixed widths with max-width constraints (don't stretch to 4K)
+
+**Interaction Strategy**:
+- Hover states for additional information
+- Keyboard shortcuts
+- Right-click context menus
+- Drag and drop where helpful
+- Multi-select with Shift/Cmd
+
+**Content Strategy**:
+- Show more information upfront (less progressive disclosure)
+- Data tables with many columns
+- Richer visualizations
+- More detailed descriptions
+
+### Print Adaptation (Screen → Print)
+
+**Layout Strategy**:
+- Page breaks at logical points
+- Remove navigation, footer, interactive elements
+- Black and white (or limited color)
+- Proper margins for binding
+
+**Content Strategy**:
+- Expand shortened content (show full URLs, hidden sections)
+- Add page numbers, headers, footers
+- Include metadata (print date, page title)
+- Convert charts to print-friendly versions
+
+### Email Adaptation (Web → Email)
+
+**Layout Strategy**:
+- Narrow width (600px max)
+- Single column only
+- Inline CSS (no external stylesheets)
+- Table-based layouts (for email client compatibility)
+
+**Interaction Strategy**:
+- Large, obvious CTAs (buttons not text links)
+- No hover states (not reliable)
+- Deep links to web app for complex interactions
+
+## Implement Adaptations
+
+Apply changes systematically:
+
+### Responsive Breakpoints
+
+Choose appropriate breakpoints:
+- Mobile: 320px-767px
+- Tablet: 768px-1023px
+- Desktop: 1024px+
+- Or content-driven breakpoints (where design breaks)
+
+### Layout Adaptation Techniques
+
+- **CSS Grid/Flexbox**: Reflow layouts automatically
+- **Container Queries**: Adapt based on container, not viewport
+- **`clamp()`**: Fluid sizing between min and max
+- **Media queries**: Different styles for different contexts
+- **Display properties**: Show/hide elements per context
+
+### Touch Adaptation
+
+- Increase touch target sizes (44x44px minimum)
+- Add more spacing between interactive elements
+- Remove hover-dependent interactions
+- Add touch feedback (ripples, highlights)
+- Consider thumb zones (easier to reach bottom than top)
+
+### Content Adaptation
+
+- Use `display: none` sparingly (still downloads)
+- Progressive enhancement (core content first, enhancements on larger screens)
+- Lazy loading for off-screen content
+- Responsive images (`srcset`, `picture` element)
+
+### Navigation Adaptation
+
+- Transform complex nav to hamburger/drawer on mobile
+- Bottom nav bar for mobile apps
+- Persistent side navigation on desktop
+- Breadcrumbs on smaller screens for context
+
+**IMPORTANT**: Test on real devices. Device emulation in DevTools is helpful but not perfect.
+
+**NEVER**:
+- Hide core functionality on mobile (if it matters, make it work)
+- Assume desktop = powerful device (consider accessibility, older machines)
+- Use different information architecture across contexts (confusing)
+- Break user expectations for platform (mobile users expect mobile patterns)
+- Forget landscape orientation on mobile/tablet
+- Use generic breakpoints blindly (use content-driven breakpoints)
+- Ignore touch on desktop (many desktop devices have touch)
+
+## Verify Adaptations
+
+Test thoroughly across contexts:
+
+- **Real devices**: Test on actual phones, tablets, desktops
+- **Different orientations**: Portrait and landscape
+- **Different browsers**: Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Edge
+- **Different OS**: iOS, Android, Windows, macOS
+- **Different input methods**: Touch, mouse, keyboard
+- **Edge cases**: Very small screens (320px), very large screens (4K)
+- **Slow connections**: Test on throttled network
+
+When the adaptation feels native to each context, hand off to `/impeccable polish` for the final pass.

+> **Additional context needed**: performance constraints.
+
+Add motion that conveys state, gives feedback, and clarifies hierarchy. Cut motion that exists only for decoration. Animation fatigue is a real cost; spend the budget on the moments that need it.
+
+---
+
+## Register
+
+Brand: orchestrated page-load sequences, staggered reveals, scroll-driven animation. Motion is part of the voice; one well-rehearsed entrance beats scattered micro-interactions.
+
+Product: 150–250 ms on most transitions. Motion conveys state: feedback, reveal, loading, transitions between views. No page-load choreography; users are in a task and won't wait for it.
+
+---
+
+## Assess Animation Opportunities
+
+Analyze where motion would improve the experience:
+
+1. **Identify static areas**:
+   - **Missing feedback**: Actions without visual acknowledgment (button clicks, form submission, etc.)
+   - **Jarring transitions**: Instant state changes that feel abrupt (show/hide, page loads, route changes)
+   - **Unclear relationships**: Spatial or hierarchical relationships that aren't obvious
+   - **Lack of delight**: Functional but joyless interactions
+   - **Missed guidance**: Opportunities to direct attention or explain behavior
+
+2. **Understand the context**:
+   - What's the personality? (Playful vs serious, energetic vs calm)
+   - What's the performance budget? (Mobile-first? Complex page?)
+   - Who's the audience? (Motion-sensitive users? Power users who want speed?)
+   - What matters most? (One hero animation vs many micro-interactions?)
+
+If any of these are unclear from the codebase, STOP and call the AskUserQuestion tool to clarify.
+
+**CRITICAL**: Respect `prefers-reduced-motion`. Always provide non-animated alternatives for users who need them.
+
+## Plan Animation Strategy
+
+Create a purposeful animation plan:
+
+- **Hero moment**: What's the ONE signature animation? (Page load? Hero section? Key interaction?)
+- **Feedback layer**: Which interactions need acknowledgment?
+- **Transition layer**: Which state changes need smoothing?
+- **Delight layer**: Where can we surprise and delight?
+
+**IMPORTANT**: One well-orchestrated experience beats scattered animations everywhere. Focus on high-impact moments.
+
+## Implement Animations
+
+Add motion systematically across these categories:
+
+### Entrance Animations
+- **Page load choreography**: Stagger element reveals (100-150ms delays), fade + slide combinations
+- **Hero section**: Dramatic entrance for primary content (scale, parallax, or creative effects)
+- **Content reveals**: Scroll-triggered animations using intersection observer
+- **Modal/drawer entry**: Smooth slide + fade, backdrop fade, focus management
+
+### Micro-interactions
+- **Button feedback**:
+  - Hover: Subtle scale (1.02-1.05), color shift, shadow increase
+  - Click: Quick scale down then up (0.95 → 1), ripple effect
+  - Loading: Spinner or pulse state
+- **Form interactions**:
+  - Input focus: Border color transition, slight scale or glow
+  - Validation: Shake on error, check mark on success, smooth color transitions
+- **Toggle switches**: Smooth slide + color transition (200-300ms)
+- **Checkboxes/radio**: Check mark animation, ripple effect
+- **Like/favorite**: Scale + rotation, particle effects, color transition
+
+### State Transitions
+- **Show/hide**: Fade + slide (not instant), appropriate timing (200-300ms)
+- **Expand/collapse**: Height transition with overflow handling, icon rotation
+- **Loading states**: Skeleton screen fades, spinner animations, progress bars
+- **Success/error**: Color transitions, icon animations, gentle scale pulse
+- **Enable/disable**: Opacity transitions, cursor changes
+
+### Navigation & Flow
+- **Page transitions**: Crossfade between routes, shared element transitions
+- **Tab switching**: Slide indicator, content fade/slide
+- **Carousel/slider**: Smooth transforms, snap points, momentum
+- **Scroll effects**: Parallax layers, sticky headers with state changes, scroll progress indicators
+
+### Feedback & Guidance
+- **Hover hints**: Tooltip fade-ins, cursor changes, element highlights
+- **Drag & drop**: Lift effect (shadow + scale), drop zone highlights, smooth repositioning
+- **Copy/paste**: Brief highlight flash on paste, "copied" confirmation
+- **Focus flow**: Highlight path through form or workflow
+
+### Delight Moments
+- **Empty states**: Subtle floating animations on illustrations
+- **Completed actions**: Confetti, check mark flourish, success celebrations
+- **Easter eggs**: Hidden interactions for discovery
+- **Contextual animation**: Weather effects, time-of-day themes, seasonal touches
+
+## Technical Implementation
+
+Use appropriate techniques for each animation:
+
+### Timing & Easing
+
+**Durations by purpose:**
+- **100-150ms**: Instant feedback (button press, toggle)
+- **200-300ms**: State changes (hover, menu open)
+- **300-500ms**: Layout changes (accordion, modal)
+- **500-800ms**: Entrance animations (page load)
+
+**Easing curves (use these, not CSS defaults):**
+```css
+/* Recommended: natural deceleration */
+--ease-out-quart: cubic-bezier(0.25, 1, 0.5, 1);    /* Smooth */
+--ease-out-quint: cubic-bezier(0.22, 1, 0.36, 1);   /* Slightly snappier */
+--ease-out-expo: cubic-bezier(0.16, 1, 0.3, 1);     /* Confident, decisive */
+
+/* AVOID: feel dated and tacky */
+/* bounce: cubic-bezier(0.34, 1.56, 0.64, 1); */
+/* elastic: cubic-bezier(0.68, -0.6, 0.32, 1.6); */
+```
+
+**Exit animations are faster than entrances.** Use ~75% of enter duration.
+
+### CSS Animations
+```css
+/* Prefer for simple, declarative animations */
+- transitions for state changes
+- @keyframes for complex sequences
+- transform and opacity for reliable movement
+- blur, filters, masks, clip paths, shadows, and color shifts for premium atmospheric effects when verified smooth
+```
+
+### JavaScript Animation
+```javascript
+/* Use for complex, interactive animations */
+- Web Animations API for programmatic control
+- Framer Motion for React
+- GSAP for complex sequences
+```
+
+### Performance
+- **Motion materials**: Use transform/opacity for reliable movement, but use blur, filters, masks, shadows, and color shifts when they materially improve the effect
+- **Layout safety**: Avoid casual animation of layout-driving properties (`width`, `height`, `top`, `left`, margins)
+- **will-change**: Add sparingly for known expensive animations
+- **Bound expensive effects**: Keep blur/filter/shadow areas small or isolated, use `contain` where appropriate
+- **Monitor FPS**: Ensure 60fps on target devices
+
+### Accessibility
+```css
+@media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce) {
+  * {
+    animation-duration: 0.01ms !important;
+    animation-iteration-count: 1 !important;
+    transition-duration: 0.01ms !important;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**NEVER**:
+- Use bounce or elastic easing curves; they feel dated and draw attention to the animation itself
+- Animate layout properties casually (`width`, `height`, `top`, `left`, margins) when transform, FLIP, or grid-based techniques would work
+- Use durations over 500ms for feedback (it feels laggy)
+- Animate without purpose (every animation needs a reason)
+- Ignore `prefers-reduced-motion` (this is an accessibility violation)
+- Animate everything (animation fatigue makes interfaces feel exhausting)
+- Block interaction during animations unless intentional
+
+## Verify Quality
+
+Test animations thoroughly:
+
+- **Smooth at 60fps**: No jank on target devices
+- **Feels natural**: Easing curves feel organic, not robotic
+- **Appropriate timing**: Not too fast (jarring) or too slow (laggy)
+- **Reduced motion works**: Animations disabled or simplified appropriately
+- **Doesn't block**: Users can interact during/after animations
+- **Adds value**: Makes interface clearer or more delightful
+
+When the motion clarifies state instead of decorating it, hand off to `/impeccable polish` for the final pass.

+Run systematic **technical** quality checks and generate a comprehensive report. Don't fix issues; document them for other commands to address.
+
+This is a code-level audit, not a design critique. Check what's measurable and verifiable in the implementation.
+
+## Diagnostic Scan
+
+Run comprehensive checks across 5 dimensions. Score each dimension 0-4 using the criteria below.
+
+### 1. Accessibility (A11y)
+
+**Check for**:
+- **Contrast issues**: Text contrast ratios < 4.5:1 (or 7:1 for AAA)
+- **Missing ARIA**: Interactive elements without proper roles, labels, or states
+- **Keyboard navigation**: Missing focus indicators, illogical tab order, keyboard traps
+- **Semantic HTML**: Improper heading hierarchy, missing landmarks, divs instead of buttons
+- **Alt text**: Missing or poor image descriptions
+- **Form issues**: Inputs without labels, poor error messaging, missing required indicators
+
+**Score 0-4**: 0=Inaccessible (fails WCAG A), 1=Major gaps (few ARIA labels, no keyboard nav), 2=Partial (some a11y effort, significant gaps), 3=Good (WCAG AA mostly met, minor gaps), 4=Excellent (WCAG AA fully met, approaches AAA)
+
+### 2. Performance
+
+**Check for**:
+- **Layout thrashing**: Reading/writing layout properties in loops
+- **Expensive animations**: Casual layout-property animation, unbounded blur/filter/shadow effects, or effects that visibly drop frames
+- **Missing optimization**: Images without lazy loading, unoptimized assets, missing will-change
+- **Bundle size**: Unnecessary imports, unused dependencies
+- **Render performance**: Unnecessary re-renders, missing memoization

+**Score 0-4**: 0=Severe issues (layout thrash, unoptimized everything), 1=Major problems (no lazy loading, expensive animations), 2=Partial (some optimization, gaps remain), 3=Good (mostly optimized, minor improvements possible), 4=Excellent (fast, lean, well-optimized)
+
+### 3. Theming
+
+**Check for**:
+- **Hard-coded colors**: Colors not using design tokens
+- **Broken dark mode**: Missing dark mode variants, poor contrast in dark theme
+- **Inconsistent tokens**: Using wrong tokens, mixing token types
+- **Theme switching issues**: Values that don't update on theme change
+
+**Score 0-4**: 0=No theming (hard-coded everything), 1=Minimal tokens (mostly hard-coded), 2=Partial (tokens exist but inconsistently used), 3=Good (tokens used, minor hard-coded values), 4=Excellent (full token system, dark mode works perfectly)
+
+### 4. Responsive Design
+
+**Check for**:
+- **Fixed widths**: Hard-coded widths that break on mobile
+- **Touch targets**: Interactive elements < 44x44px
+- **Horizontal scroll**: Content overflow on narrow viewports
+- **Text scaling**: Layouts that break when text size increases
+- **Missing breakpoints**: No mobile/tablet variants
+
+**Score 0-4**: 0=Desktop-only (breaks on mobile), 1=Major issues (some breakpoints, many failures), 2=Partial (works on mobile, rough edges), 3=Good (responsive, minor touch target or overflow issues), 4=Excellent (fluid, all viewports, proper touch targets)
+
+### 5. Anti-Patterns (CRITICAL)
+
+Check against ALL the **DON'T** guidelines from the parent impeccable skill (already loaded in this context). Look for AI slop tells (AI color palette, gradient text, glassmorphism, hero metrics, card grids, generic fonts) and general design anti-patterns (gray on color, nested cards, bounce easing, redundant copy).
+
+**Score 0-4**: 0=AI slop gallery (5+ tells), 1=Heavy AI aesthetic (3-4 tells), 2=Some tells (1-2 noticeable), 3=Mostly clean (subtle issues only), 4=No AI tells (distinctive, intentional design)

+When asked for "bolder," AI defaults to the same tired tricks: cyan/purple gradients, glassmorphism, neon accents on dark backgrounds, gradient text on metrics. These are the opposite of bold. Reject them first, then increase visual impact and personality through stronger hierarchy, committed scale, and decisive type.
+
+---
+
+## Register
+
+Brand: "bolder" means distinctive. Extreme scale, unexpected color, typographic risk, committed POV.
+
+Product: "bolder" rarely means theatrics; those undermine trust. It means stronger hierarchy, clearer weight contrast, one sharper accent, more committed density. The amplification is in clarity, not drama.
+
+---
+
+## Assess Current State
+
+Analyze what makes the design feel too safe or boring:
+
+1. **Identify weakness sources**:
+   - **Generic choices**: System fonts, basic colors, standard layouts
+   - **Timid scale**: Everything is medium-sized with no drama
+   - **Low contrast**: Everything has similar visual weight
+   - **Static**: No motion, no energy, no life
+   - **Predictable**: Standard patterns with no surprises
+   - **Flat hierarchy**: Nothing stands out or commands attention
+
+2. **Understand the context**:
+   - What's the brand personality? (How far can we push?)
+   - What's the purpose? (Marketing can be bolder than financial dashboards)
+   - Who's the audience? (What will resonate?)
+   - What are the constraints? (Brand guidelines, accessibility, performance)
+
+If any of these are unclear from the codebase, STOP and call the AskUserQuestion tool to clarify.
+
+**CRITICAL**: "Bolder" doesn't mean chaotic or garish. It means distinctive, memorable, and confident. Think intentional drama, not random chaos.
+
+**WARNING - AI SLOP TRAP**: Review ALL the DON'T guidelines from the parent impeccable skill (already loaded in this context) before proceeding. Bold means distinctive, not "more effects."
+
+## Plan Amplification
+
+Create a strategy to increase impact while maintaining coherence:
+
+- **Focal point**: What should be the hero moment? (Pick ONE, make it amazing)
+- **Personality direction**: Maximalist chaos? Elegant drama? Playful energy? Dark moody? Choose a lane.
+- **Risk budget**: How experimental can we be? Push boundaries within constraints.
+- **Hierarchy amplification**: Make big things BIGGER, small things smaller (increase contrast)
+
+**IMPORTANT**: Bold design must still be usable. Impact without function is just decoration.
+
+## Amplify the Design
+
+Systematically increase impact across these dimensions:
+
+### Typography Amplification
+- **Replace generic fonts**: Swap system fonts for distinctive choices (see the parent skill's typography guidelines and [typography.md](typography.md) for inspiration)
+- **Extreme scale**: Create dramatic size jumps (3x-5x differences, not 1.5x)
+- **Weight contrast**: Pair 900 weights with 200 weights, not 600 with 400
+- **Unexpected choices**: Variable fonts, display fonts for headlines, condensed/extended widths, monospace as intentional accent (not as lazy "dev tool" default)
+
+### Color Intensification
+- **Increase saturation**: Shift to more vibrant, energetic colors (but not neon)
+- **Bold palette**: Introduce unexpected color combinations. Avoid the purple-blue gradient AI slop
+- **Dominant color strategy**: Let one bold color own 60% of the design
+- **Sharp accents**: High-contrast accent colors that pop
+- **Tinted neutrals**: Replace pure grays with tinted grays that harmonize with your palette
+- **Rich gradients**: Intentional multi-stop gradients (not generic purple-to-blue)
+
+### Spatial Drama
+- **Extreme scale jumps**: Make important elements 3-5x larger than surroundings
+- **Break the grid**: Let hero elements escape containers and cross boundaries
+- **Asymmetric layouts**: Replace centered, balanced layouts with tension-filled asymmetry
+- **Generous space**: Use white space dramatically (100-200px gaps, not 20-40px)
+- **Overlap**: Layer elements intentionally for depth
+
+### Visual Effects
+- **Dramatic shadows**: Large, soft shadows for elevation (but not generic drop shadows on rounded rectangles)
+- **Background treatments**: Mesh patterns, noise textures, geometric patterns, intentional gradients (not purple-to-blue)
+- **Texture & depth**: Grain, halftone, duotone, layered elements. NOT glassmorphism (it's overused AI slop)
+- **Borders & frames**: Thick borders, decorative frames, custom shapes (not rounded rectangles with colored border on one side)
+- **Custom elements**: Illustrative elements, custom icons, decorative details that reinforce brand
+
+### Motion & Animation
+- **Entrance choreography**: Staggered, dramatic page load animations with 50-100ms delays
+- **Scroll effects**: Parallax, reveal animations, scroll-triggered sequences
+- **Micro-interactions**: Satisfying hover effects, click feedback, state changes
+- **Transitions**: Smooth, noticeable transitions using ease-out-quart/quint/expo (not bounce or elastic, which cheapen the effect)
+
+### Composition Boldness
+- **Hero moments**: Create clear focal points with dramatic treatment
+- **Diagonal flows**: Escape horizontal/vertical rigidity with diagonal arrangements
+- **Full-bleed elements**: Use full viewport width/height for impact
+- **Unexpected proportions**: Golden ratio? Throw it out. Try 70/30, 80/20 splits
+
+**NEVER**:
+- Add effects randomly without purpose (chaos ≠ bold)
+- Sacrifice readability for aesthetics (body text must be readable)
+- Make everything bold (then nothing is bold; you need contrast)
+- Ignore accessibility (bold design must still meet WCAG standards)
+- Overwhelm with motion (animation fatigue is real)
+- Copy trendy aesthetics blindly (bold means distinctive, not derivative)
+
+## Verify Quality
+
+Ensure amplification maintains usability and coherence:
+
+- **NOT AI slop**: Does this look like every other AI-generated "bold" design? If yes, start over.
+- **Still functional**: Can users accomplish tasks without distraction?
+- **Coherent**: Does everything feel intentional and unified?
+- **Memorable**: Will users remember this experience?
+- **Performant**: Do all these effects run smoothly?
+- **Accessible**: Does it still meet accessibility standards?
+
+**The test**: If you showed this to someone and said "AI made this bolder," would they believe you immediately? If yes, you've failed. Bold means distinctive, not "more AI effects."
+
+When the result feels right, hand off to `/impeccable polish` for the final pass.
