+# DESIGN READINESS ASSESSMENT
+
+After drafting the task sequence, evaluate EVERY task for design readiness. A task is "ready for execution" if it is 95% clear — execution can fill in the remaining 5% without making design decisions.
+
+## Flagging Criteria
+
+Flag a task as **DESIGN REQUIRED** if ANY of these apply:
+
+- **Novel territory**: No existing pattern in the project to follow. The implementation approach needs to be invented, not just applied.
+- **Multiple valid approaches**: There are 2+ reasonable ways to build this, and the choice has lasting consequences. Execution shouldn't make this call.
+- **User-facing decisions**: The task involves layout, creative direction, user experience, tone, or aesthetic choices the user should weigh in on.
+- **Complex interactions**: The task touches multiple components and the interfaces between them need explicit definition before implementation.
+- **Ambiguous scope**: The task description says WHAT but the HOW has genuine options that affect quality, performance, or maintainability.
+
+Do NOT flag tasks that are:
+- Straightforward application of existing patterns
+- Mechanical wiring, boilerplate, or configuration
+- Well-understood implementations with clear precedent in the codebase
+- Simple enough that a competent engineer needs no design input
+
+## Design Recommendations Output

+### Design Recommendations
+
+| Task(s) | Item Name | Recommendation | Rationale |

+| Task 1, 2 | [Name] | Ready for execution | [Why it's clear enough] |
+| Task 5, 6 | [Name] | Ready for execution | [Why it's clear enough] |
+
+**Design items group related tasks that share a design surface.** A single design session covers all tasks in the group. Items are named descriptively (e.g., "Behavior Tree AI System" not "Tasks 3-4").
+```
+
+When presenting the draft plan in Phase 4, explicitly call out which items you're recommending for design and why. The user confirms or adjusts during plan approval.
