+description: Create high-entropy frontend interfaces using Verbalized Sampling (VS). Break mode collapse, avoid AI-slop aesthetics. Use for distinctive design work.
+---
+
+<context>
+
+**Purpose:** Mitigate Mode Collapse (tendency to produce generic AI output) and create production-grade frontend interfaces
+
+**Principle:** Verbalized Sampling (VS) - Verbalize typical design (P ≈ 0.95), then deliberately select Low-T (low typicality) alternatives
+
+</context>
+
+---
+
+<workflow>
+
+## Execution Flow
+
+```
+Phase 0: Context Discovery
+  ↓ (AskUserQuestion - probe 4 dimensions)
+Phase 1: Identify the Mode
+  ↓ (verbalize P ≈ 0.95 baseline, avoid it)
+Phase 2: Sample the Long-Tail
+  ↓ (3 directions + T-Score justification)
+Phase 3: Commit to Low-Typicality
+  ↓ (lowest T-Score + pass Guardrails)
+Phase 4: Implementation
+  ↓ (production-grade code)
+Phase 5: Surprise Validation
+  ↓ (AI-typical? → refactor)
+```
+
+### Phase 0: Context Discovery
+
+**Probe these dimensions using AskUserQuestion tool:**
+
+| Dimension | Question Examples |
+|-----------|-------------------|
+| **Emotional Tone** | "Trustworthy", "edgy", "playful", "luxurious" - which atmosphere? |
+| **Target Audience** | Who will see this? Technical sophistication? Expectations? |
+| **Reference Points / Anti-References** | Benchmark examples? Styles to explicitly avoid? |
+| **Business Context** | Problem this UI solves? Usage scenario? |
+
+**Additional signals:**
+- Existing code: Extract style patterns, color schemes, component conventions
+- User prompt: Parse keywords (landing page, dashboard, portfolio, SaaS, etc.)
+- Follow-up questions: Surface full vision even for simple prompts
+
+Gather sufficient context before proceeding to Phase 1.
+
+### Phase 1: Identify the Mode
+
+**Verbalize the highest-probability (P ≈ 0.95) design:**
+
+AI-slop markers:
+- Inter/Roboto/System fonts
+- Rounded blue/purple buttons
+- Standard F-pattern layouts
+- White backgrounds with gradient accents
+- Generic hero sections with stock imagery
+
+**Avoid this baseline.**
+
+### Phase 2: Sample the Long-Tail
+
+**Generate 3 directions with T-Score (Typicality Score, 0~1.0):**
+
+| Direction | T-Score | Characteristics |
+|-----------|---------|-----------------|
+| **A** | ≈ 0.7 | Modern/Clean, safe |
+| **B** | ≈ 0.4 | Distinctive/Characterful (specific niche style) |
+| **C** | < 0.2 | Experimental/Bold (high-entropy, unexpected) |
+
+**T-Score justification required:** Explain WHY each direction has that score. Reference specific design choices.
+
+### Phase 3: Commit to Low-Typicality
+
+**Select lowest T-Score that meets:**
+1. Functional requirements from Phase 0
+2. All Quality Guardrails
+
+Deliberate and intentional choice, not accidental.
+
+</workflow>
+
+---
+
+<guardrails>
+
+## Quality Principles
+
+Experimental designs must satisfy these principles. If violated, increase T-Score until compliance.
+
+| Principle | Description |
+|-----------|-------------|
+| **Visual Hierarchy** | Clear priority ordering (1st → 2nd → 3rd) |
+| **Contrast & Legibility** | Text readable against background (WCAG AA minimum) |
+| **Internal Consistency** | Design follows its own logic (not random) |
+| **Functional Clarity** | Interactive elements recognizable, affordances clear |
+
+</guardrails>
+
+---
+
+<anti_patterns>
+
+## Failure Patterns
+
+| Pattern | Symptoms | Validation |
+|---------|----------|------------|
+| **Accidental Design** | Differentiation without intent, randomness | "Why this color/font/layout?" → must have coherent answer |
+| **Frankenstein Style** | Incompatible aesthetics mixed, no unity | "Describe this design's personality in one sentence?" → must be possible |
+
+</anti_patterns>
+
+---
+
+<aesthetics>
+
+## Frontend Aesthetics Guidelines (VS-Enhanced)
+
+**Inversion Principle:** If a choice feels "obvious," it has too much probability mass → consider lower-probability, higher-impact alternatives (when context-appropriate).
+
+### Typography
+
+| Category | Content |
+|----------|---------|
+| ❌ **AI-slop** | Inter, Roboto, Arial, System fonts, Space Grotesk (default usage) |
+| ✅ **Low-T** | High-character display faces + refined, unexpected body typefaces. Variable fonts, unusual weights. |
+| **Context-dependent** | Brutalist portfolio → industrial sans-serifs / Luxury brand → refined serifs |
+
+### Color & Theme
+
+| Principle | Description |
+|-----------|-------------|
+| ✅ **Uneven distribution** | Cohesive but "dissonant-yet-beautiful" palette |
+| ✅ **CSS Variables** | Systematic theming |
+| ✅ **Texture-first** | Sophisticated noise/lighting over flat fills (when context-appropriate) |
+
+### Spatial Composition
+
+| Condition | Approach |
+|-----------|----------|
+| **Standard grid (P=0.9)** | Consider asymmetry, overlapping elements, diagonal flows, editorial whitespace (P=0.1) |
+| **Data-heavy UIs** | Dashboards, tables → conventional grids may be needed (usability priority) |
+
+### Motion
+
+| Principle | Description |
+|-----------|-------------|
+| ✅ **Micro-delights** | Staggered reveals, scroll-bound transformations, custom easing |
+| ❌ **Purposeless motion** | Every animation must have purpose |
+
+</aesthetics>
+
+---
+
+<frameworks>
+
+## AIDA Framework (Conditional)
+
+**Apply only for persuasion/conversion goals (landing pages, marketing sites, product showcases):**
+
+| Stage | Goal | Design Application |
+|-------|------|-------------------|
+| **A**ttention | Stop scroll, create immediate visual impact | Bold typography, unexpected imagery, striking color contrast |
+| **I**nterest | Build curiosity, encourage exploration | Progressive information reveal, visual storytelling, highlight unique value |
+| **D**esire | Create emotional connection, make them want it | Social proof, benefits visualization, aspirational imagery, micro-interactions |
+| **A**ction | Drive conversion with clear next steps | High-contrast CTAs, reduced friction, urgency cues (when appropriate) |
+
+### Application Conditions
+
+| Apply ✅ | Don't Apply ❌ |
+|---------|----------------|
+| Landing/marketing pages | Dashboards, data-heavy UIs (usability priority) |
+| Product launch pages | Documentation/content-focused sites (readability priority) |
+| Client-attracting portfolios | Internal tools (efficiency priority) |
+
+**VS + AIDA Integration:** Apply Low-T aesthetics to EACH AIDA stage. Generic hero → Attention failure / Predictable CTA → Action failure. AIDA = "what", VS = "how".
+
+</frameworks>
+
+---
+
+<implementation>
+
+## Implementation Standards
+
+| Standard | Description |
+|----------|-------------|
+| **Production-Grade** | Functional, accessible (A11y), performant |
+| **Complexity-Typicality Balance** | Low-T design → implementation complexity increases proportionally (maintain quality) |
+| **No Complexity Refusal** | Pursue extraordinary work, don't simplify vision |
+
+</implementation>

+
+<validation>
+
+## Final Validation
+
+Pre-delivery checklist:
+
+1. **Intentionality**: Can you justify every major design decision?
+2. **Consistency**: Does the design follow its own internal logic?
+3. **Guardrails**: Are hierarchy, legibility, consistency, and clarity preserved?
+4. **Surprise**: Would this stand out in a lineup of AI-generated designs?
+
+**Goal:** Maximize "Surprise Score" while maintaining "Production Quality." Deliberate disruption.

+
+## Practical Examples
+
+### Phase 2: T-Score Justification
+
+```markdown
+**Direction A (T ≈ 0.7): Modern Minimal**
+- Inter font, white background, blue buttons
+- High typicality: 2020s SaaS standard pattern
+
+**Direction B (T ≈ 0.4): Brutalist Style**
+- Space Mono font, grid background, angular black buttons
+- Lower typicality: Specific niche, non-mainstream choice
+
+**Direction C (T < 0.2): Neo-Baroque**
+- Fraunces Display font, irregular layout, animated gradients
+- Very low probability: Rarely seen on web
+```
+
