-This power mirrors the base skill:
-- `Ai Agent Workflow/skills/frontend-design/SKILL.md`
+> **Philosophy:** Every pixel has purpose. Restraint is luxury. User psychology drives decisions.
+> **Core Principle:** THINK, don't memorize. ASK, don't assume.
 
-When both exist, prefer the base skill as source of truth unless power-specific overrides are added here.

+## 🎯 Selective Reading Rule (MANDATORY)
+
+**Read REQUIRED files always, OPTIONAL only when needed:**
+
+| File | Status | When to Read |
+|------|--------|--------------|
+| [ux-psychology.md](ux-psychology.md) | 🔴 **REQUIRED** | Always read first! |
+| [color-system.md](color-system.md) | ⚪ Optional | Color/palette decisions |
+| [typography-system.md](typography-system.md) | ⚪ Optional | Font selection/pairing |
+| [visual-effects.md](visual-effects.md) | ⚪ Optional | Glassmorphism, shadows, gradients |
+| [animation-guide.md](animation-guide.md) | ⚪ Optional | Animation needed |
+| [motion-graphics.md](motion-graphics.md) | ⚪ Optional | Lottie, GSAP, 3D |
+| [decision-trees.md](decision-trees.md) | ⚪ Optional | Context templates |
+
+> 🔴 **ux-psychology.md = ALWAYS READ. Others = only if relevant.**
+
+---
+
+## 🔧 Runtime Scripts
+
+**Execute these for audits (don't read, just run):**
+
+| Script | Purpose | Usage |
+|--------|---------|-------|
+| `scripts/ux_audit.py` | UX Psychology & Accessibility Audit | `python scripts/ux_audit.py <project_path>` |
+
+---
+
+## ⚠️ CRITICAL: ASK BEFORE ASSUMING (MANDATORY)
+
+> **STOP! If the user's request is open-ended, DO NOT default to your favorites.**
+
+### When User Prompt is Vague, ASK:
+
+**Color not specified?** Ask:
+> "What color palette do you prefer? (blue/green/orange/neutral/other?)"
+
+**Style not specified?** Ask: 
+> "What style are you going for? (minimal/bold/retro/futuristic/organic?)"
+
+**Layout not specified?** Ask:
+> "Do you have a layout preference? (single column/grid/asymmetric/full-width?)"
+
+### ⛔ DEFAULT TENDENCIES TO AVOID (ANTI-SAFE HARBOR):
+
+| AI Default Tendency | Why It's Bad | Think Instead |
+|---------------------|--------------|---------------|
+| **Bento Grids (Modern Cliché)** | Used in every AI design | Why does this content NEED a grid? |
+| **Hero Split (Left/Right)** | Predictable & Boring | How about Massive Typography or Vertical Narrative? |
+| **Mesh/Aurora Gradients** | The "new" lazy background | What's a radical color pairing? |
+| **Glassmorphism** | AI's idea of "premium" | How about solid, high-contrast flat? |
+| **Deep Cyan / Fintech Blue** | Safe harbor from purple ban | Why not Red, Black, or Neon Green? |
+| **"Orchestrate / Empower"** | AI-generated copywriting | How would a human say this? |
+| Dark background + neon glow | Overused, "AI look" | What does the BRAND actually need? |
+| **Rounded everything** | Generic/Safe | Where can I use sharp, brutalist edges? |
+
+> 🔴 **"Every 'safe' structure you choose brings you one step closer to a generic template. TAKE RISKS."**
+
+---
+
+## 1. Constraint Analysis (ALWAYS FIRST)
+
+Before any design work, ANSWER THESE or ASK USER:
+
+| Constraint | Question | Why It Matters |
+|------------|----------|----------------|
+| **Timeline** | How much time? | Determines complexity |
+| **Content** | Ready or placeholder? | Affects layout flexibility |
+| **Brand** | Existing guidelines? | May dictate colors/fonts |
+| **Tech** | What stack? | Affects capabilities |
+| **Audience** | Who exactly? | Drives all visual decisions |
+
+### Audience → Design Approach
+
+| Audience | Think About |
+|----------|-------------|
+| **Gen Z** | Bold, fast, mobile-first, authentic |
+| **Millennials** | Clean, minimal, value-driven |
+| **Gen X** | Familiar, trustworthy, clear |
+| **Boomers** | Readable, high contrast, simple |
+| **B2B** | Professional, data-focused, trust |
+| **Luxury** | Restrained elegance, whitespace |
+
+---
+
+## 2. UX Psychology Principles
+
+### Core Laws (Internalize These)
+
+| Law | Principle | Application |
+|-----|-----------|-------------|
+| **Hick's Law** | More choices = slower decisions | Limit options, use progressive disclosure |
+| **Fitts' Law** | Bigger + closer = easier to click | Size CTAs appropriately |
+| **Miller's Law** | ~7 items in working memory | Chunk content into groups |
+| **Von Restorff** | Different = memorable | Make CTAs visually distinct |
+| **Serial Position** | First/last remembered most | Key info at start/end |
+
+### Emotional Design Levels
+
+```
+VISCERAL (instant)  → First impression: colors, imagery, overall feel
+BEHAVIORAL (use)    → Using it: speed, feedback, efficiency
+REFLECTIVE (memory) → After: "I like what this says about me"
+```
+
+### Trust Building
+
+- Security indicators on sensitive actions
+- Social proof where relevant
+- Clear contact/support access
+- Consistent, professional design
+- Transparent policies
+
+---
+
+## 3. Layout Principles
+
+### Golden Ratio (φ = 1.618)
+
+```
+Use for proportional harmony:
+├── Content : Sidebar = roughly 62% : 38%
+├── Each heading size = previous × 1.618 (for dramatic scale)
+├── Spacing can follow: sm → md → lg (each × 1.618)
+```
+
+### 8-Point Grid Concept
+
+```
+All spacing and sizing in multiples of 8:
+├── Tight: 4px (half-step for micro)
+├── Small: 8px
+├── Medium: 16px
+├── Large: 24px, 32px
+├── XL: 48px, 64px, 80px
+└── Adjust based on content density
+```
+
+### Key Sizing Principles
+
+| Element | Consideration |
+|---------|---------------|
+| **Touch targets** | Minimum comfortable tap size |
+| **Buttons** | Height based on importance hierarchy |
+| **Inputs** | Match button height for alignment |
+| **Cards** | Consistent padding, breathable |
+| **Reading width** | 45-75 characters optimal |
+
+---
+
+## 4. Color Principles
+
+### 60-30-10 Rule
+
+```
+60% → Primary/Background (calm, neutral base)
+30% → Secondary (supporting areas)
+10% → Accent (CTAs, highlights, attention)
+```
+
+### Color Psychology (For Decision Making)
+
+| If You Need... | Consider Hues | Avoid |
+|----------------|---------------|-------|
+| Trust, calm | Blue family | Aggressive reds |
+| Growth, nature | Green family | Industrial grays |
+| Energy, urgency | Orange, red | Passive blues |
+| Luxury, creativity | Deep Teal, Gold, Emerald | Cheap-feeling brights |
+| Clean, minimal | Neutrals | Overwhelming color |
+
+### Selection Process
+
+1. **What's the industry?** (narrows options)
+2. **What's the emotion?** (picks primary)
+3. **Light or dark mode?** (sets foundation)
+4. **ASK USER** if not specified
+
+For detailed color theory: [color-system.md](color-system.md)
+
+---
+
+## 5. Typography Principles
+
+### Scale Selection
+
+| Content Type | Scale Ratio | Feel |
+|--------------|-------------|------|
+| Dense UI | 1.125-1.2 | Compact, efficient |
+| General web | 1.25 | Balanced (most common) |
+| Editorial | 1.333 | Readable, spacious |
+| Hero/display | 1.5-1.618 | Dramatic impact |
+
+### Pairing Concept
+
+```
+Contrast + Harmony:
+├── DIFFERENT enough for hierarchy
+├── SIMILAR enough for cohesion
+└── Usually: display + neutral, or serif + sans
+```
+
+### Readability Rules
+
+- **Line length**: 45-75 characters optimal
+- **Line height**: 1.4-1.6 for body text
+- **Contrast**: Check WCAG requirements
+- **Size**: 16px+ for body on web
+
+For detailed typography: [typography-system.md](typography-system.md)
+
+---
+
+## 6. Visual Effects Principles
+
+### Glassmorphism (When Appropriate)
+
+```
+Key properties:
+├── Semi-transparent background
+├── Backdrop blur
+├── Subtle border for definition
+└── ⚠️ **WARNING:** Standard blue/white glassmorphism is a modern cliché. Use it radically or not at all.
+```
+
+### Shadow Hierarchy
+
+```
+Elevation concept:
+├── Higher elements = larger shadows
+├── Y-offset > X-offset (light from above)
+├── Multiple layers = more realistic
+└── Dark mode: may need glow instead
+```
+
+### Gradient Usage
+
+```
+Harmonious gradients:
+├── Adjacent colors on wheel (analogous)
+├── OR same hue, different lightness
+├── Avoid harsh complementary pairs
+├── 🚫 **NO Mesh/Aurora Gradients** (floating blobs)
+└── VARY from project to project radically
+```
+
+For complete effects guide: [visual-effects.md](visual-effects.md)
+
+---
+
+## 7. Animation Principles
+
+### Timing Concept
+
+```
+Duration based on:
+├── Distance (further = longer)
+├── Size (larger = slower)
+├── Importance (critical = clear)
+└── Context (urgent = fast, luxury = slow)
+```
+
+### Easing Selection
+
+| Action | Easing | Why |
+|--------|--------|-----|
+| Entering | Ease-out | Decelerate, settle in |
+| Leaving | Ease-in | Accelerate, exit |
+| Emphasis | Ease-in-out | Smooth, deliberate |
+| Playful | Bounce | Fun, energetic |
+
+### Performance
+
+- Animate only transform and opacity
+- Respect reduced-motion preference
+- Test on low-end devices
+
+For animation patterns: [animation-guide.md](animation-guide.md), for advanced: [motion-graphics.md](motion-graphics.md)
+
+---
+
+## 8. "Wow Factor" Checklist
+
+### Premium Indicators
+
+- [ ] Generous whitespace (luxury = breathing room)
+- [ ] Subtle depth and dimension
+- [ ] Smooth, purposeful animations
+- [ ] Attention to detail (alignment, consistency)
+- [ ] Cohesive visual rhythm
+- [ ] Custom elements (not all defaults)
+
+### Trust Builders
+
+- [ ] Security cues where appropriate
+- [ ] Social proof / testimonials
+- [ ] Clear value proposition
+- [ ] Professional imagery
+- [ ] Consistent design language
+
+### Emotional Triggers
+
+- [ ] Hero that evokes intended emotion
+- [ ] Human elements (faces, stories)
+- [ ] Progress/achievement indicators
+- [ ] Moments of delight
+
+---
+
+## 9. Anti-Patterns (What NOT to Do)
+
+### ❌ Lazy Design Indicators
+
+- Default system fonts without consideration
+- Stock imagery that doesn't match
+- Inconsistent spacing
+- Too many competing colors
+- Walls of text without hierarchy
+- Inaccessible contrast
+
+### ❌ AI Tendency Patterns (AVOID!)
+
+- **Same colors every project**
+- **Dark + neon as default**
+- **Purple/violet everything (PURPLE BAN ✅)**
+- **Bento grids for simple landing pages**
+- **Mesh Gradients & Glow Effects**
+- **Same layout structure / Vercel clone**
+- **Not asking user preferences**
+
+### ❌ Dark Patterns (Unethical)
+
+- Hidden costs
+- Fake urgency
+- Forced actions
+- Deceptive UI
+- Confirmshaming
+
+---
+
+## 10. Decision Process Summary
+
+```
+For EVERY design task:
+
+1. CONSTRAINTS
+   └── What's the timeline, brand, tech, audience?
+   └── If unclear → ASK
+
+2. CONTENT
+   └── What content exists?
+   └── What's the hierarchy?
+
+3. STYLE DIRECTION
+   └── What's appropriate for context?
+   └── If unclear → ASK (don't default!)
+
+4. EXECUTION
+   └── Apply principles above
+   └── Check against anti-patterns
+
+5. REVIEW
+   └── "Does this serve the user?"
+   └── "Is this different from my defaults?"
+   └── "Would I be proud of this?"
+```

-This is a compatibility power wrapper for the `game-development` skill.
+> **Orchestrator skill** that provides core principles and routes to specialized sub-skills.
 
-Primary source:
-- `Ai Agent Workflow/skills/game-development/SKILL.md`
+---
+
+## When to Use This Skill
+
+You are working on a game development project. This skill teaches the PRINCIPLES of game development and directs you to the right sub-skill based on context.
+
+---
+
+## Sub-Skill Routing
+
+### Platform Selection
+
+| If the game targets... | Use Sub-Skill |
+|------------------------|---------------|
+| Web browsers (HTML5, WebGL) | `game-development/web-games` |
+| Mobile (iOS, Android) | `game-development/mobile-games` |
+| PC (Steam, Desktop) | `game-development/pc-games` |
+| VR/AR headsets | `game-development/vr-ar` |
+
+### Dimension Selection
+
+| If the game is... | Use Sub-Skill |
+|-------------------|---------------|
+| 2D (sprites, tilemaps) | `game-development/2d-games` |
+| 3D (meshes, shaders) | `game-development/3d-games` |
+
+### Specialty Areas
+
+| If you need... | Use Sub-Skill |
+|----------------|---------------|
+| GDD, balancing, player psychology | `game-development/game-design` |
+| Multiplayer, networking | `game-development/multiplayer` |
+| Visual style, asset pipeline, animation | `game-development/game-art` |
+| Sound design, music, adaptive audio | `game-development/game-audio` |
+
+---
+
+## Core Principles (All Platforms)
+
+### 1. The Game Loop
+
+Every game, regardless of platform, follows this pattern:
+
+```
+INPUT  → Read player actions
+UPDATE → Process game logic (fixed timestep)
+RENDER → Draw the frame (interpolated)
+```
+
+**Fixed Timestep Rule:**
+- Physics/logic: Fixed rate (e.g., 50Hz)
+- Rendering: As fast as possible
+- Interpolate between states for smooth visuals
+
+---
+
+### 2. Pattern Selection Matrix
+
+| Pattern | Use When | Example |
+|---------|----------|---------|
+| **State Machine** | 3-5 discrete states | Player: Idle→Walk→Jump |
+| **Object Pooling** | Frequent spawn/destroy | Bullets, particles |
+| **Observer/Events** | Cross-system communication | Health→UI updates |
+| **ECS** | Thousands of similar entities | RTS units, particles |
+| **Command** | Undo, replay, networking | Input recording |
+| **Behavior Tree** | Complex AI decisions | Enemy AI |
+
+**Decision Rule:** Start with State Machine. Add ECS only when performance demands.
+
+---
+
+### 3. Input Abstraction
+
+Abstract input into ACTIONS, not raw keys:
+
+```
+"jump"  → Space, Gamepad A, Touch tap
+"move"  → WASD, Left stick, Virtual joystick
+```
+
+**Why:** Enables multi-platform, rebindable controls.
+
+---
+
+### 4. Performance Budget (60 FPS = 16.67ms)
+
+| System | Budget |
+|--------|--------|
+| Input | 1ms |
+| Physics | 3ms |
+| AI | 2ms |
+| Game Logic | 4ms |
+| Rendering | 5ms |
+| Buffer | 1.67ms |
+
+**Optimization Priority:**
+1. Algorithm (O(n²) → O(n log n))
+2. Batching (reduce draw calls)
+3. Pooling (avoid GC spikes)
+4. LOD (detail by distance)
+5. Culling (skip invisible)
+
+---
+
+### 5. AI Selection by Complexity
+
+| AI Type | Complexity | Use When |
+|---------|------------|----------|
+| **FSM** | Simple | 3-5 states, predictable behavior |
+| **Behavior Tree** | Medium | Modular, designer-friendly |
+| **GOAP** | High | Emergent, planning-based |
+| **Utility AI** | High | Scoring-based decisions |
+
+---
+
+### 6. Collision Strategy
+
+| Type | Best For |
+|------|----------|
+| **AABB** | Rectangles, fast checks |
+| **Circle** | Round objects, cheap |
+| **Spatial Hash** | Many similar-sized objects |
+| **Quadtree** | Large worlds, varying sizes |
+
+---
+
+## Anti-Patterns (Universal)
+
+| Don't | Do |
+|-------|-----|
+| Update everything every frame | Use events, dirty flags |
+| Create objects in hot loops | Object pooling |
+| Cache nothing | Cache references |
+| Optimize without profiling | Profile first |
+| Mix input with logic | Abstract input layer |
+
+---
+
+## Routing Examples
+
+### Example 1: "I want to make a browser-based 2D platformer"
+→ Start with `game-development/web-games` for framework selection
+→ Then `game-development/2d-games` for sprite/tilemap patterns
+→ Reference `game-development/game-design` for level design
+
+### Example 2: "Mobile puzzle game for iOS and Android"
+→ Start with `game-development/mobile-games` for touch input and stores
+→ Use `game-development/game-design` for puzzle balancing
+
+### Example 3: "Multiplayer VR shooter"
+→ `game-development/vr-ar` for comfort and immersion
+→ `game-development/3d-games` for rendering
+→ `game-development/multiplayer` for networking
+
