+## UI design (DEFINE + REVIEW)
+
+The **UI Designer** is always installed but invoked **on-demand** at two moments of an
+L1 task that touches UI — never a linear step. **You are its only invoker.** It owns the
+`ui-handoff.md` artifact and reports; you own the human dialogue and the labels.
+At DEFINE it runs the `grill-ui` interview to author the `ui-handoff.md` contract; at
+REVIEW it runs a mechanical pre-pass (the deterministic `design-tokens` gates + the
+project's a11y tooling) then the `design-critique` and `a11y-audit` judgment lenses, and
+returns one design verdict.
+
+A third, on-demand affordance sits outside those two moments: **design-tool token sync**.
+When the human runs `/sync-design-tokens` (or accepts the DEFINE offer when a drift check
+shows an export is pending), dispatch the UI Designer to run its `design-tool-sync` skill.
+It is human-reviewed both ways and tokens-only; the design tool is a projection of
+`docs/design-tokens.json`, never a peer source of truth.
+
+### Activation gate
+
+After the grill produces the PRD and the task issue exists, judge — **your own LLM
+call**, no runtime keyword scorer — whether this task needs design, as **two parts both
+true**:
+
+1. **The repo has a frontend** — there is UI to design (a SPA/app surface, components,
+   styles), not a pure library / CLI / backend.
+2. **This task touches UI** — the change adds or alters something a user sees or
+   interacts with.
+
+**Bias to include** on a borderline call: a wasted handoff stub is cheaper than UI
+shipped with no design pass. When both hold, the task needs design.
+
+### Design-stop offer
+
+When the gate fires, **put `harness:needs-design`** on the issue and offer the human,
+inline, in one line — three choices:
+
+> This task touches UI. (1) **Continue** — bring in the UI Designer now to define the
+> design alongside the spec; (2) **Stop for handoff** — park here so a designer picks it
+> up later; (3) **No UI after all** — skip design.
+
+- **Continue** → dispatch the **UI Designer** (fresh context, Task tool) with the PRD,
+  the `<id>`, and the branch to author `ui-handoff.md` under `tasks/<id>/spec/`,
+  alongside the Spec Author's spec. The issue stays at `harness:status:spec-in-progress`
+  — design is part of completing the spec, not a new lifecycle state.
+- **Stop for handoff** → record the sub-state `awaiting design definition` in
+  `progress.md`, commit and push the task state to the branch, and stop. The task waits
+  at `spec-in-progress` (+ `harness:needs-design`) for a `/resume` (below).
+- **No UI after all** → **remove `harness:needs-design`** and proceed with the ordinary
+  spec flow — the gate was a false positive, which bias-to-include accepts.
+
+### Persisting personas (offer)
+
+`docs/personas.md` is **client-owned** — the harness consumes it, never imposes it. When the
+UI Designer returns and its report says `docs/personas.md` was **absent** so it captured
+personas inline in the handoff's §1, **you** make the offer (the UI Designer can't — a
+sub-agent must not interrupt the human, and this is a human-facing choice, the same reason
+the architecture-map offer lives on `/add-capability`, not in a consumer):
+
+> The design defined these personas inline. Persist them to `docs/personas.md` so future UI
+> tasks reuse them? (yes / no)
+
+- **Yes** → **re-dispatch the UI Designer** (fresh context, Task tool, with the `<id>` and
+  branch) to author a minimal `docs/personas.md` from the personas already in the handoff's §1
+  — the client's own words, not an invented cast. Then continue toward spec-ready.
+- **No** → write nothing; the inline personas live on in the handoff for this task. The next
+  UI task simply asks again.
+
+Only offer when the file was **absent and personas were captured inline** — never when
+`docs/personas.md` already exists (it was consumed, nothing to persist) and never unasked.
+This is opt-in surfacing of the client's own answers, not the harness authoring a persona set.
+
+### Label put/remove
+
+`harness:needs-design` is an **orthogonal presence flag** (same family as
+`harness:architecture-drift`), never a status:
+
+- **Put** it as soon as the gate classifies the task as touching UI and design is not
+  yet complete.
+- **Remove** it the moment `ui-handoff.md` is **complete** — at or before the flip to
+  `harness:status:spec-ready`. **Complete** = the UI Designer's return reports the handoff
+  authored with **this task's** design decisions (its sections carry real content, not the
+  verbatim placeholder template), and it raised **no** open discovery (a discovery means
+  design is still open — keep the label and resolve it first). Ensure the label is gone
+  **before** flipping to `spec-ready`: a spec-ready task never carries `harness:needs-design`.
+
+### `awaiting design definition` sub-state + /resume re-entry
+
+A task parked at "stop for handoff" sits at `harness:status:spec-in-progress` with
+`progress.md` recording the sub-state `awaiting design definition`. It is the design
+analogue of the step-by-step `awaiting human checkpoint` line — execution state, not a
+label. `/resume <id>` re-enters there: check out the branch, read the captured context,
+dispatch the UI Designer to author (or finish) `ui-handoff.md`, then remove
+`harness:needs-design` and continue toward spec-ready. The resume queue surfaces the
+parked design (`resume.md` lists `spec-in-progress` too).
+
+### REVIEW — the design lens
+
+When an implemented UI change reaches review (L1 step 7), invoke the **UI Designer** as
+a **distinct lens** alongside the Reviewer (code). The **durable "this task touched UI"
+signal is the existence of `tasks/<id>/spec/ui-handoff.md`** — `harness:needs-design` is
+already gone by spec-ready, so it can't be the cue; the handoff artifact persists and
+survives a cold `/resume`, so it is what to check. Either lens rejecting routes back to
+the Implementer (rejection is transient — no dedicated label); both passing reaches the
+single human merge gate (two inputs, one gate).
+
+The UI Designer's lens mirrors the Reviewer's own shape — a **mechanical pre-pass** (the
+deterministic `design-tokens validate` + `design-tokens contrast` gates, plus the
+project's a11y tooling), then **judgment** (`design-critique` + `a11y-audit`), returning
+**one design verdict** with findings grouped by source (tokens / accessibility / craft).
+The Reviewer's code lens stays design-unaware; you still see exactly two review inputs.
+
+**Deterministic vs judgment, by level.** The two deterministic gates are cheap, agent-free
+facts, so they run **per-step** on UI-touching steps in step-by-step mode (a bad contrast
+in step 2 must not ride to step 6 — see §Step-by-step implementation); the project's a11y
+lint rides the per-step lint the same way. The **judgment lenses run full-pass only** —
+design is holistic, and a mid-component critique is noise. There is no per-step design
+agent and no new cap: a full-pass design rejection routes back like any other rejection.
+(`design-tokens validate` / `contrast` also run in CI independently of review.)
+
+### Closeout
+
+`ui-handoff.md` lives in `tasks/<id>/spec/`, so closeout archives it with the rest of
+the spec (`task-closeout` `git mv`s the whole `spec/` into `_archive/<id>/`) — no
