A workspace with a recorded identity re-enters the steps with that identity already chosen; the rules below are for first intake.
 
 ## Rules
 
 - **The brief's own words outrank any database default.** "Beautiful" means the ceiling, not the safe row.
 - **Adjectives become referents.** When the brief speaks in adjectives ("premium", "editorial"), name the 2–3 real products the brief is pointing at and pick the package whose recorded identity sits in that class — unnamed ambition becomes beige.
-- **Search is a retrieval aid, never a router.** `search_catalog` (kind `package`) with the brief's segment/keyword resemblance; shortlist 2–3 results by their head metadata (feel, reads-as, keywords), then choose reading the brief. After the choice, `get_entry` **once**: the chosen package's full design.md enters context and **stays in view through step 4**; unchosen candidates are never fetched.
+- **Search is a retrieval aid, never a router.** `search_catalog` (family `design_md`) with the brief's segment/keyword resemblance; shortlist 2–3 results by their head metadata (feel, reads-as, keywords), then choose reading the brief. After the choice, `get_entry` **once**: the chosen package's full design.md enters context and **stays in view through step 4**; unchosen candidates are never fetched.
 - **The escape hatch fires mechanically.** No catalog hit, plus a recorded one-line reason why the closest package fails → author a one-off project design.md in the package schema, `tier: project` — the validator is the schema authority and checks it like any library entry. This path is expected to be common; flag the file as a curation candidate for the roster.
-- **Register the project.** First intake ends with `register_project` — name, the consumer's container if it has one, and `fork: { slug, version }` pinning the chosen package as it was chosen (a copy, never a live read: later catalog edits cannot change a running project's identity). Commit the returned `projectId` to the repo. Escape-hatch one-offs register without a fork; the authored design.md is pushed via `record`.
-- **Axis overrides fetch the same way** — a recorded override names its axis entry; `get_entry` (kind `axis`) fetches exactly that entry.
-- **Set the primitives switch** — write one `primitives: nurix | native` line into the project's `design.md`. Default by the probe: the project resolves `@nurix/components` (check package.json / lockfile / node_modules) → `nurix`; otherwise — existing apps, foreign stacks, no library access — → `native`. Set once here; nothing downstream re-asks. Also write `source-package: <slug>@<version>` (or `authored` for escape-hatch one-offs).
-- **Write or update `product.md`**: users and their jobs, roles/permissions, action frequency, risk level, accessibility commitments, brand anti-references. Package choice, UX decisions, motion intensity, and demo data all cite it.
-- **The taste profile biases every choice** — `get_project` returns it (per-dimension feel/avoid lines); user reactions to shipped output update it via `record`. No profile yet = no bias, never a block.
+- **Record the identity.** First intake ends with `record`: the identity choice as a decision line, and the resolved fork pushed as the workspace's `design.md` preference row. The `workspaceId` is committed to the repo if it is not ambient. Design taste is workspace-level — an app never gets its own.
+- **Axis overrides fetch or read the single named entry** — color/font/gradient/chart-style overrides `get_entry` their dictionary entry; elevation/motion/iconography overrides read the named local entry under `data/`.
+- **Set the primitives switch** — write one `primitives: nurix | native` line into the project's `design.md`. Default by the probe: the project resolves `@nurix/components` (check package.json / lockfile / node_modules) → `nurix`; otherwise — existing apps, foreign stacks, no library access — → `native`. Set once here; nothing downstream re-asks. Also write `source-package: <slug>` (or `authored` for escape-hatch one-offs).

+- **The taste profile biases every choice** — `get_preferences` returns the workspace's `taste.md` (per-dimension feel/avoid lines); user reactions to shipped output update it via `record`. No profile yet = no bias, never a block.
 - **Stated-choice awareness:** if prior package picks are visible in the workspace, name them and say in one line why this pick repeats or differs — awareness, never forced rotation.

Decisions, dispositions, taste updates, personality revisions, and gate reports are written through `record` — one line each, never silent.
-- **The consult is a tool, not a default.** `consult` sends a whole-app paragraph and returns candidate shapes, a component list, and rulings — advisory, never binding: the MCP wins on content, you win on composition (you hold the brief, the codebase, and the canvas), the skill wins on process and safety. Consult when the knowledge gap is real — a first foundational composition, a domain outside what the skill teaches, an ambiguity the org's corpus can resolve, an explicit user ask, or a rework signal (the user asks to redo composed work: the local answer missed, so the second attempt consults rather than iterating blind). Stay local for incremental edits, small surfaces, and every decision whose quality depends on context only you hold. Never consult by reflex — and record every consult and every deviation from its advice via `record`.

+license: open
+---
+Composition shapes for the browse archetype — unordered lookup across a record catalog. View-types (table, cards, board) are projections that may appear inside any shape.
+
+## Shape: Filter Rail Browse
+Regions: search/sort bar (full-width, top) / filter rail (left, fixed ~20%, checkboxes and facets) / result area (remaining ~80%, table or card grid) / optional saved-view tabs above the results.
+The eye lands on: the result count and the first few rows or cards immediately right of the rail.
+When to use: users know roughly what they want and need to narrow a large catalog by attributes before picking one.
+Seen in: Salesforce list views with filter tabs, GitHub code/issue search with its left filter sidebar, Retool admin-panel search-and-table patterns.
+
+## Shape: Topic Shelf Browse
+Regions: search bar (top, secondary) / stacked horizontal shelves (full-width, each a named topic or collection) / each shelf scrolls independently left-right.
+The eye lands on: the first shelf's title and its lead card — curation, not a filter control, drives attention.
+When to use: the goal is inspiration or discovery across a broad catalog rather than narrowing toward a known target.
+Seen in: GitHub Explore (Trending repositories, Topics, Collections), Retool's template gallery landing page.
+
+## Shape: Faceted Table Browse
+Regions: saved-view tab strip (top, full-width) / facet and group controls (top-right, compact) / dense table body (full-width, below) with grouped row headers.
+The eye lands on: the active view's name and its row count in the tab strip, then the grouped section headers.
+When to use: the same underlying record set is browsed through several standing, shareable slices rather than one ad hoc filter.
+Seen in: Salesforce list views (Table/Split/Kanban toggle on one saved view), Zendesk ticket views grouped and ordered by field.
+
+## Shape: Gallery Card Browse
+Regions: toolbar (top, thin) / uniform card grid (full-width, cover-forward cards with a small property strip beneath each) / no persistent side rail.
+The eye lands on: the cover or lead property of the first card, not on chrome or filters.
+When to use: the records are visually distinguishable (people, assets, campaigns) and recognition beats reading fields.
+Seen in: Notion gallery view, Airtable's gallery-style interface layouts.
+
+## Shape: Command-First Browse
+Regions: a single centered search/command input (top, dominant) that expands into a ranked result list beneath it as the user types / no visible content before a query.
+The eye lands on: the input caret, then the top-ranked result as it appears.
+When to use: the catalog is too large or too varied to shelf or facet usefully, and users already have a query in mind.
+Seen in: GitHub's global search entry point, Linear's Cmd+K command menu used as a navigation-and-discovery surface.

+license: open
+---
+Composition shapes for the creation-flow archetype — how a new object enters the system. The object's field count, orderedness, and context-sensitivity pick the shape.
+
+## Shape: Linear Stepper Wizard
+Regions: step rail (left or top, numbered, shows progress and lets users jump to completed steps) / one focused form panel per step (center, only the current step's fields are visible) / persistent progress indicator.
+The eye lands on: the current step's label, highlighted in the rail.
+When to use: creation requires many required fields best collected in a specific order, especially with validation or document upload between groups.
+Seen in: Stripe's hosted/embedded Connect account onboarding, generic SaaS setup wizards built around a stepper.
+
+## Shape: Slide-Over Quick Create
+Regions: a right-hand panel or modal (slides over the current screen, ~⅓–½ width) capturing a minimal field set / the underlying list or board stays visible and dimmed behind it.
+The eye lands on: the title/name field, auto-focused at the top of the slide-over.
+When to use: the object being created is simple enough not to need its own page, and preserving the user's current context matters more than a guided sequence.
+Seen in: Linear's issue-creation modal (triggered by `C` or `Cmd+K`, preserves a draft if dismissed).
+
+## Shape: Single-Page Form
+Regions: one dedicated page (full-width, no steps) with fields grouped into clearly labeled sections top to bottom / primary submit action at the bottom of the page.
+The eye lands on: the first required field at the top of the page (commonly a name field).
+When to use: the object has a small, fixed set of fields that don't benefit from being split across steps.
+Seen in: GitHub's "Create a new repository" page (name, description, visibility, template, initialization options all on one page).
+
+## Shape: Builder Canvas Creation
+Regions: component/element palette (left, narrow) / live authoring canvas (center, widest, shows the artifact being built and previewed simultaneously) / property inspector (right, contextual to whatever is selected).
+The eye lands on: whatever element on the canvas was most recently added or selected.
+When to use: the thing being created is itself a visual composition (an app, a page, an interface) rather than a record with fixed fields.
+Seen in: Retool's App IDE; Airtable's Interface Designer when building a new interface from scratch.
+
+## Shape: Guided Checklist Launcher
+Regions: a persistent checklist/progress tracker (top or side, shows completion percentage) / each checklist item expands into its own focused step or opens a separate flow / dismissible and resumable at any time.
+The eye lands on: the next incomplete checklist item, usually highlighted or bolded.
+When to use: setup spans many optional or asynchronous sub-tasks (some requiring external verification) that shouldn't block each other.
+Seen in: Stripe's embedded onboarding requirements flow, generic SaaS account-setup checklists.

+Composition shapes for the dashboard archetype — many signals summarized for scan or narrative. Which shape fits follows from whether the audience scans for anomalies or reads for a story.
+
+## Shape: KPI Strip + Chart Grid
+Regions: KPI strip (full-width, top, 4–6 tiles each with a value, delta, and inline sparkline) / flexible chart-and-table grid beneath, arranged in a 12-column layout.
+The eye lands on: the single largest number in the leftmost KPI tile.
+When to use: a general operator or executive audience needs the headline health of the business before anything else.
+Seen in: Stripe Dashboard's home page ("Your overview" widgets).
+
+## Shape: Dense Monitoring Grid
+Regions: named tabs (top, grouping widgets into sections) / a 12-column responsive grid packed edge-to-edge with many small, same-scale widgets (graphs, single-value tiles, status lists).
+The eye lands on: whichever widget is currently in an alert/error color state, not a fixed position.
+When to use: the goal is at-a-glance anomaly-spotting across many signals at once, not narrative or storytelling.
+Seen in: Datadog dashboards in high-density mode.
+
+## Shape: Freeform Canvas Dashboard
+Regions: an unconstrained drag-anywhere canvas mixing number tiles, charts, filtered record lists, and text blocks, each element independently sourced from a different underlying table.
+The eye lands on: whichever element the dashboard's author placed largest or first — no default focal convention.
+When to use: the dashboard's authors need full control over juxtaposing heterogeneous content (not just uniform charts) for a specific audience.
+Seen in: Airtable's Interface Designer dashboard layout.
+
+## Shape: Command-Center Split
+Regions: relationship/topology map or geographic overview (left or center, dominant, ~⅔) / live list or table of affected entities (right, ~⅓, sorted by severity, updates in real time).
+The eye lands on: whatever node or row is currently flagged in an alert color.
+When to use: operators must go from "something is wrong somewhere" to "which specific thing" without leaving one screen.
+Seen in: Datadog's Dependency Map Navigator; the video-wall convention of a dominant overview display paired with secondary alert panels used in network operations centers.
+
+## Shape: Narrative Single-Column Report
+Regions: one hero chart or metric (top, full-width) / supporting breakdown tables and secondary charts stacked below it in reading order / minimal or no side chrome.
+The eye lands on: the hero chart's headline trend line.
+When to use: the dashboard is meant to be read top-to-bottom like a report, telling one story, rather than scanned for many independent signals.
+Seen in: single-metric deep-dive report layouts common to BI tools built around one hero visualization followed by supporting cuts of the same data.

+Composition shapes for the grid archetype — many records edited or scanned across many fields at once, spreadsheet-fashion.
+
+## Shape: Frozen-Header Spreadsheet
+Regions: toolbar (top, view switch / row-height / filter controls) / grid body (full-width, first column(s) frozen while scrolling horizontally) / add-row affordance pinned to the bottom edge.
+The eye lands on: the frozen leftmost column, which anchors every row as the grid scrolls.
+When to use: users need to scan and bulk-edit many records across many fields the way they would in a spreadsheet.
+Seen in: Airtable grid view, Google-Sheets-style admin data tables.
+
+## Shape: Grid + Side Peek
+Regions: grid (majority of width, ~70–80%) / record detail panel (right, slides in on row selection, ~20–30%, doesn't navigate away from the grid).
+The eye lands on: the selected row's highlighted state in the grid, then the panel that opens beside it.
+When to use: editing one record's full detail is common but shouldn't cost the user their place in the larger table.
+Seen in: Airtable's expand-record-from-grid interaction, Notion's table view opening records in a side peek.
+
+## Shape: Grouped Grid with Subtotals
+Regions: grid body (full-width) organized into collapsible group bands, each with a header row carrying aggregate stats (count, sum, average) for that group.
+The eye lands on: the group header's aggregate figure, before any individual row.
+When to use: the grid's job is roll-up reporting on structured data, not just record-by-record editing.
+Seen in: Airtable's grouped grid view with per-group summary bars.
+
+## Shape: Builder Canvas Grid
+Regions: component palette (left, narrow, categorized list) / authoring canvas (center, widest, a 12-column grid used to place UI components rather than data rows) / inspector (right, contextual to the selected component).
+The eye lands on: the component currently selected on the canvas, highlighted against the grid.
+When to use: the "grid" is the structural device for assembling an interface or app, not for displaying records.
+Seen in: Retool's App IDE (canvas + component tree + Inspector panel).
+
+## Shape: Bulk-Action Grid
+Regions: search/filter bar (top) / grid with a persistent selection checkbox column (left edge) / sticky bulk-action toolbar that appears above the grid only once rows are selected.
+The eye lands on: the selection-count indicator in the bulk-action toolbar once it appears.
+When to use: the primary job is applying one action to many rows at once (delete, export, reassign), not editing cells individually.
+Seen in: Retool admin-panel table/search/form templates built for internal operators.

+Regions: ticket properties (left, narrow, editable fields) / conversation thread (center, widest, scrolls independently) / context panel (right, collapsible, customer/account data pulled from other systems).
+The eye lands on: the newest message in the center conversation thread.
+When to use: resolving one item requires both editing structured fields and reading unstructured context side by side.
+Seen in: Zendesk Agent Workspace's ticket interface.
+
+## Shape: Card-Stack Triage
+Regions: a single focal card (center, dominant, full item detail) with decision controls (approve/reject/skip) directly beneath it / no persistent list visible at all.
+The eye lands on: the one card currently in front of the operator.
+When to use: throughput and low cognitive load matter more than seeing what's next or re-ordering the queue.
+Seen in: moderation/review-queue patterns built around one-decision-at-a-time keyboard flows (the pattern Superhuman's and Zendesk's triage conventions both borrow from).
+
+## Shape: Grouped Table Queue
+Regions: standing view tabs (top, each a saved filter) / dense table (full-width, grouped by a status or priority field with collapsible group headers) / row click opens detail rather than a separate pane.
+The eye lands on: the group header counts, which signal where backlog is piling up.
+When to use: triage is about prioritizing across the whole backlog first, and deep work on one item happens after selection, not alongside it.
+Seen in: Zendesk's saved Views grouped and ordered by field, Jira-style backlog triage tables.
+
+## Shape: Zero-Chrome Queue
+Regions: a single wide column (full-width, no folders/menus/sidebar) listing items as compact single-line rows / a shortcuts overlay appears on demand rather than living in permanent chrome.
+The eye lands on: the top unprocessed row.
+When to use: expert operators triage at very high volume and any persistent chrome would slow them down.

+When to use: the record's story (what happened, in order) matters as much as its current field values or its relationships.
+Seen in: HubSpot's contact/company/deal record layout.

+## Shape: Hero Header + Tab Strip
+Regions: hero header (top, full-width, entity name plus top-line stats) / horizontal tab strip immediately below (Payments / Subscriptions / Invoices / Events) / one table per tab filling the rest of the page.
+The eye lands on: the top-line stat in the hero header (balance, lifetime value, status).
+When to use: one entity has several large, independently-scrollable tables of history that shouldn't compete for space at once.
+Seen in: Stripe's customer detail page.
+
+## Shape: Conversation + Docked Panels
+Regions: resizable file/change tree (left, collapsible) / conversation or diff thread (center, dominant, scrolls independently) / docked overview and comments panels (right, toggled on demand, don't require navigating away).
+The eye lands on: the active file or comment thread being discussed in the center pane.
