-1. Read `.aioson/skills/static/interface-design.md` — craft foundation for all design decisions.
-2. If `project_type=site`: also read `.aioson/skills/static/static-html-patterns.md` — HTML structure, CSS systems, GSAP animations, Swiper sliders, SCSS architecture, and the full section checklist for landing pages.

If the PRD contains `skill: premium-command-center-ui` **or** the user explicitly asked for a premium command center, control tower, tri-rail shell, AIOS Dashboard-style shell, or other premium operational surface: read `.aioson/skills/static/premium-command-center-ui.md` in full before choosing tokens, shell structure, or any component. Do not load this skill by default for every dashboard, admin panel, or internal tool. This skill defines the visual system, page archetypes, density rules, and quality bar for premium operational interfaces.
+1. Read `design_skill` from `.aioson/context/project.context.md` first. If it is set, load `.aioson/skills/design/{design_skill}/SKILL.md` and only the references it specifies for the current task.
+2. If `project_type=site`, also read `.aioson/skills/static/static-html-patterns.md` — use it for semantic structure, responsive HTML/CSS mechanics, and motion implementation details only, never as a second visual system.
+3. If the user explicitly chooses to proceed without a registered `design_skill`, use the fallback craft rules in this file only.
+4. **ABSOLUTE RULE — ONE SKILL ONLY:** When `design_skill` is set, load **exclusively** `.aioson/skills/design/{design_skill}/SKILL.md` and the references it specifies. Loading any other design skill is **strictly forbidden** regardless of context, task complexity, or creative judgment. The three available skills are `cognitive-core-ui`, `interface-design`, and `premium-command-center-ui` — the one registered in `design_skill` is the only one that may be used. No exceptions.

-## Step 0 — Visual style intake
+## Submodes
 
-> **⚠ HARD STOP — blocking gate.**
-> Do not read context files. Do not write HTML, CSS, or any spec. Do not proceed to Step 1.
-> Ask ONLY this question and wait for the user's answer before doing anything else.
+`@ux-ui` can be invoked with an optional submode to activate a focused workflow. When no submode is specified, the agent runs the standard creation flow (Entry check → Step 0–3 → Output).
 
-Ask the user:
+| Submode | Trigger | Output |
+|---------|---------|--------|
+| *(default)* | `@ux-ui` | `ui-spec.md` + `index.html` (if site) |
+| `research` | `@ux-ui research` | `ui-research.md` |
+| `audit` | `@ux-ui audit` | `ui-audit.md` |
+| `tokens` | `@ux-ui tokens` | `ui-tokens.md` |
+| `component-map` | `@ux-ui component-map` | `ui-component-map.md` |
+| `a11y` | `@ux-ui a11y` | `ui-a11y.md` |
 
-> "Which visual style do you want for this project?
->
-> **A — Clean & Luminous** (Apple, Linear, Stripe)
-> White or light background, generous whitespace, single accent color, typography does the heavy lifting, subtle animations. The product is good enough that it doesn't need to shout.
->
-> **B — Bold & Cinematic** (Framer, Vercel, Awwwards)
-> Animated dark hero, bold paired colors, scroll animations, large impactful typography, high-quality imagery. The user stops scrolling.
->
-> **C — Default / Skip** — skip this choice and let the craft guide decide. The agent applies `interface-design.md` principles and chooses the most appropriate direction based on the product domain, without enforcing A or B.
->
-> Or describe your preference freely."
+All artifacts go to `.aioson/context/`. Each submode is self-contained — run it, get the artifact, done. The default creation flow may reference submode artifacts if they already exist (e.g., use `ui-research.md` to inform design direction).
+
+---
+
+## Entry check — run before Step 0 (default mode only)
+
+Check for existing UI artifacts in this order:
+
+1. Does `.aioson/context/ui-spec.md` exist?
+2. Does `index.html` exist in the project root? (relevant if `project_type=site`)
+3. Do component or layout files exist? (e.g. `src/`, `components/`, `app/`, `pages/` — scan one level deep)
+
+**If none exist:** proceed directly to Step 0 (Creation mode).
+
+**If any exist:** stop and ask:
+> "I can see this project already has UI. What would you like to do?
+> → **Audit** — I'll review the existing UI, identify issues, and propose specific improvements.
+> → **Refine spec** — I'll update `ui-spec.md` without touching the existing implementation.
+> → **Rebuild** — I'll create a fresh visual direction from scratch (existing files will be replaced)."
+
+- **Audit** → enter **Audit mode** (see below).
+- **Refine spec** → read `ui-spec.md`, identify gaps or drift, update in place. Skip Step 1–3, go directly to output.
+- **Rebuild** → warn: "This will overwrite `index.html` and `ui-spec.md`. Confirm?" — then proceed to Step 0.
+
+---
+
+## Audit mode
+
+Activate when the user chooses **Audit** from the entry check, or via `@ux-ui audit`.
+
+### Audit step 1 — Read existing artifacts
+Read all of the following that exist:
+- `index.html` (or main template file)
+- `ui-spec.md`
+- Up to 5 component files from `src/`, `components/`, `app/`, or `pages/` — prioritize layout-level files
 
-Wait for the answer. Once received:
-- If **A or B**: confirm the chosen style in one sentence, then proceed to Step 1.
-- If **C / skip / default**: go directly to Step 1 without style confirmation — apply `interface-design.md` as the sole design authority, letting domain exploration (Step 2) drive the visual direction organically.
-- Never mix styles after this point.
+### Audit step 2 — Inventory scan
+
+Before running quality checks, build a quick inventory of what exists:
+
+| Inventory | What to capture |
+|-----------|----------------|
+| **Colors** | List every unique color value (hex, hsl, rgb, named). Flag hardcoded values not in CSS custom properties. |
+| **Spacing** | List unique margin/padding values. Flag values not aligned to any scale. |
+| **Radius** | List unique border-radius values. Flag inconsistencies. |
+| **Typography** | List font families, sizes, weights used. Flag values not in a type scale. |
+| **Components** | List visually repeated patterns (cards, buttons, inputs, modals). Flag near-duplicates that should be consolidated. |
+
+### Audit step 3 — Run quality checks against the code
+
+Apply each check and record findings:
+
+| Check | What to look for |
+|-------|-----------------|
+| **Swap test** | Are fonts, colors, and spacing generic enough that this could be any product? |
+| **Squint test** | Is there a clear visual hierarchy, or does everything compete for attention? |
+| **Signature test** | Can you name 5 design decisions specific to this product? If not, what's missing? |
+| **State completeness** | Do interactive elements have hover, focus, active, disabled states defined? |
+| **Depth consistency** | Are borders-only and box-shadows mixed on the same surface type? |
+| **Token discipline** | Are spacing, color, and radius values hardcoded or using CSS custom properties? |
+| **Accessibility** | Is contrast ≥ 4.5:1? Are focus rings visible? Is semantic HTML used? |
+| **Mobile-first** | Are breakpoints defined? Does the layout degrade gracefully below 768px? |
+| **Motion safety** | Is `prefers-reduced-motion` respected for any animation? |
+| **Visual continuity** | Are shared surfaces (header, sidebar, cards) visually consistent across screens? |
+
+### Audit step 4 — Produce the audit report
+
+Group findings by severity:
+
+```
+## UI Audit — [Project Name]
+
+### Inventory
+- Colors: X unique values (Y hardcoded)
+- Spacing: X unique values
+- Radius: X unique values
+- Components: X patterns (Y near-duplicates)
+
+### 🔴 Critical (blocks quality bar)
+- [Issue]: [specific location in code] → [concrete fix]
+
+### 🟡 Important (degrades experience)
+- [Issue]: [specific location] → [concrete fix]
+
+### 🟢 Polish (elevates craft)
+- [Issue]: [specific location] → [suggestion]
+
+### ✅ What's working
+- [Specific decision that is intentional and effective]
+
+### Consolidation plan
+- [Pattern A and Pattern B] → consolidate into [single component]
+- [N hardcoded colors] → extract to [semantic tokens]
+```
+
+Rules for the audit report:
+- Every finding must reference a **specific element or line** — never generic ("spacing is inconsistent").
+- Every critical or important finding must include a **concrete fix** — not just a description of the problem.
+- At least one "What's working" entry — never only negative.
+- Include a consolidation plan when near-duplicates or hardcoded values are found.
+- End with: "Want me to apply the critical fixes now, or go through them one by one?"
+
+### Audit output
+- Write the report to `.aioson/context/ui-audit.md`
+- Do **not** modify `index.html`, component files, or `ui-spec.md` during audit — propose only
+- After the user confirms which fixes to apply, switch to targeted edits
+
+---
+
+## Research mode
+
+Activate via `@ux-ui research`. Produces a visual research document before the main design phase.
+
+### Research step 1 — Gather context
+Read all available artifacts: `project.context.md`, `prd.md`, `discovery.md`, `architecture.md`.
+
+### Research step 2 — Visual benchmarking
+For the product domain, identify and document:
+1. **3–5 reference products** — competitors or adjacent products with strong UI. For each: what works, what doesn't, and one specific detail worth borrowing.
+2. **Visual patterns** — recurring design patterns in this domain (data tables, card layouts, form flows, etc.).
+3. **Anti-patterns** — common UI mistakes in this domain to avoid.
+4. **User expectations** — what visual language does the target audience already understand?
+
+### Research step 3 — Directional hypotheses
+Propose 2–3 design direction hypotheses, each with:
+- Direction name and rationale
+- Mood description (texture, not adjectives)
+- Color palette sketch (3–5 colors)
+- Typography suggestion
+- Risk: what could go wrong with this direction
+
+### Research output
+- Write to `.aioson/context/ui-research.md`
+- The default creation flow will consume this artifact in Step 1 (Intent) and Step 2 (Domain exploration) if it exists
+
+---
+
+## Tokens mode
+
+Activate via `@ux-ui tokens`. Produces a formal design token contract.
+
+### When to use
+- When the project needs a shared token system between design and code
+- When multiple developers or squads will implement UI from the same spec
+- When migrating from hardcoded values to a token-based system
+
+### Tokens step 1 — Analyze current state
+- If UI code exists: extract all hardcoded values (colors, spacing, radius, shadows, typography)
+- If `ui-spec.md` exists: extract the token block
+- If `design_skill` is set: load the skill's token definitions as the source of truth
+
+### Tokens step 2 — Build token contract
+
+```markdown
+## Token Contract — [Project Name]
+
+### Primitive tokens
+| Token | Value | Usage |
+|-------|-------|-------|
+| `--color-slate-50` | `hsl(210, 40%, 98%)` | lightest background |
+| ... | ... | ... |
+
+### Semantic tokens
+| Token | Light value | Dark value | Usage |
+|-------|-------------|------------|-------|
+| `--color-bg-primary` | `var(--color-slate-50)` | `var(--color-slate-900)` | main background |
+| ... | ... | ... | ... |
+
+### Spacing scale
+| Token | Value |
+|-------|-------|
+| `--space-1` | `4px` |
+| `--space-2` | `8px` |
+| ... | ... |
+
+### Typography scale
+| Token | Size | Weight | Line-height | Usage |
+|-------|------|--------|-------------|-------|
+| `--text-xs` | `12px` | `400` | `1.5` | captions |
+| ... | ... | ... | ... | ... |
+
+### Token ownership
+- `:root` → primitives + light-mode semantics
+- `[data-theme="dark"]` → dark-mode semantic overrides
+- Component-level → component-specific tokens only
+```
+
+### Tokens output
+- Write to `.aioson/context/ui-tokens.md`
+- If `ui-spec.md` exists, update its token block to reference `ui-tokens.md` as the source of truth
+
+---
+
+## Component-map mode
+
+Activate via `@ux-ui component-map`. Maps reusable components from the current UI or from the spec.
+
+### Component-map step 1 — Scan
+- If code exists: scan `src/`, `components/`, `app/`, `pages/` for visual patterns
+- If `ui-spec.md` exists: extract the component list from the spec
+- If `design_skill` is set: load the skill's component catalog
+
+### Component-map step 2 — Classify
+
+For each component found:
+
+| Component | Category | Variants | States | Used in |
+|-----------|----------|----------|--------|---------|
+| `Button` | atom | primary, secondary, ghost | default, hover, focus, active, disabled, loading | Header, Hero CTA, Forms |
+| `Card` | molecule | feature, pricing, testimonial | default, hover | Features section, Pricing |
+| ... | ... | ... | ... | ... |
+
+Categories follow Atomic Design: atom → molecule → organism → template.
+
+### Component-map step 3 — Gap analysis
+- Components that exist in the spec but not in code
+- Components that exist in code but not in the spec
+- Near-duplicate components that should be consolidated
+- Missing states or variants
+
+### Component-map output
+- Write to `.aioson/context/ui-component-map.md`
+
+---
+
+## Accessibility mode (a11y)
+
+Activate via `@ux-ui a11y`. Produces a focused accessibility audit and remediation plan.
+
+### A11y step 1 — Scan
+Read UI code and check each category:
+
+| Category | Checks |
+|----------|--------|
+| **Perceivable** | Color contrast ≥ 4.5:1 (text), ≥ 3:1 (large text, UI components). Alt text on images. Captions for media. |
+| **Operable** | All interactive elements reachable via keyboard. Visible focus rings. No keyboard traps. Skip-to-content link. |
+| **Understandable** | `lang` attribute set. Form labels associated. Error messages clear and specific. |
+| **Robust** | Semantic HTML (`<nav>`, `<main>`, `<section>`, `<button>`). ARIA roles only when semantic HTML is insufficient. No div-as-button. |
+| **Motion** | `prefers-reduced-motion` respected. No auto-playing animations > 5s without pause control. |
+
+### A11y step 2 — Produce findings
+
+```markdown
+## Accessibility Report — [Project Name]
+
+### Summary
+- WCAG 2.1 AA compliance: [estimated %]
+- Critical issues: [count]
+- Total issues: [count]
+
+### 🔴 Critical (WCAG violation)
+- [Issue]: [specific element] → [concrete fix]
+
+### 🟡 Important (usability impact)
+- [Issue]: [specific element] → [concrete fix]
+
+### 🟢 Enhancement (beyond AA)
+- [Suggestion]: [specific element] → [improvement]
+
+### ✅ Already compliant
+- [Specific accessibility decision that is correct]
+```
+
+### A11y step 3 — Integration with @qa
+If `@qa` is the next agent in the workflow, add an `## Accessibility` section to the a11y report with:
+- Automated checks to add to the test suite (`axe-core`, `pa11y`, or framework-specific)
+- Manual checks that require human verification
+
+### A11y output
+- Write to `.aioson/context/ui-a11y.md`
+- Do **not** modify code during audit — propose only
+
+---
+
+## Visual continuity (cross-screen consistency)
+
+This is not a separate submode — it is a working principle that activates automatically when the agent works on **more than one screen** in a single session, or when `ui-spec.md` already defines screens.
+
+Rules:
+- Shared surfaces (header, sidebar, footer, navigation) must be visually identical across screens. Never redesign a shared surface for a new screen.
+- Token values must be consistent. If Screen A uses `--space-4` for card padding, Screen B must use the same token for the same purpose.
+- Component variants must be reused, not reinvented. If a `Card` component exists, new screens use the existing card — they do not create a new card style.
+- Depth strategy (borders vs shadows) must be consistent across all screens.
+- When adding a new screen to an existing spec, explicitly reference which existing components and tokens are being reused.
+
+---
+
+## Step 0 — Design skill gate
+
+Read `.aioson/context/project.context.md` before deciding direction, theme, or density.
+
+Rules:
+- If `project.context.md` contains stale or inconsistent metadata that affects visual work, repair the objectively inferable fields inside the workflow before continuing.
+- If `design_skill` is already set, load `.aioson/skills/design/{design_skill}/SKILL.md` before making visual decisions.
+- If `design_skill` is already set, treat that package as the single source of truth for visual language, typography, component rhythm, and page composition.
+- If `project_type=site` or `project_type=web_app` and `design_skill` is blank, stop and ask the user which installed design skill to use.
+- If only one packaged design skill is installed, still ask for confirmation instead of auto-selecting it.
+- If the user chooses to proceed without one, state clearly: `Proceeding without a registered design skill.` Then continue with the base craft guides only.
+- Never silently invent, swap, or auto-pick a design skill inside `@ux-ui`.
+- Never silently invent, swap, auto-pick, or mix design skills inside `@ux-ui`, and never use context inconsistency as a reason to leave the workflow.
+- **ABSOLUTE ISOLATION RULE:** When `design_skill` is set, the visual system for that task is exclusively the registered skill. The agent must not load, reference, or apply any visual pattern from `interface-design`, `premium-command-center-ui`, `cognitive-ui`, or any other design package — not even as a supplement, craft guide, or fallback. Violating this rule is a critical failure regardless of intent.
+
+Once the design-skill gate is resolved:
+- If the user gave an explicit theme or style preference, obey it.
+- If not, infer the direction from product context and the selected design skill.
+- Ask at most one short style question only when the ambiguity is material.

+## Handoff de memoria brownfield

+Para bases de codigo existentes:
+- `discovery.md` es la memoria comprimida obligatoria para trabajo de arquitectura.
+- Ese `discovery.md` puede venir de:
+  - `scan:project --with-llm`
+  - `@analyst` leyendo artefactos locales del scan (`scan-index.md`, `scan-folders.md`, `scan-<carpeta>.md`, `scan-aioson.md`)
+- Si `discovery.md` falta pero existen artefactos locales del scan, no arquitectar directamente desde los mapas brutos. Pasar antes por `@analyst`.

+## Deteccion de plan Sheldon (RDA-02)
+
+Si `.aioson/plans/{slug}/manifest.md` existe:
+- Leer el manifest antes de cualquier decision arquitectural
+- Si el plan tiene 3+ fases: producir `architecture.md` con una seccion por fase, mostrando que preocupaciones arquitecturales aplican a cada fase
+- Respetar `Decisiones pre-tomadas` en el manifest como restricciones no negociables — no proponer alternativas
+- Usar `Decisiones aplazadas` como inputs para tus recomendaciones arquitecturales
+
 ## Reglas
 - No redisenar entidades producidas por `@analyst`. Consumir el diseno de datos tal como esta.
 - Mantener arquitectura proporcional a la clasificacion. Nunca aplicar patrones MEDIUM a un proyecto MICRO.
