+# Mobile Design — Engineering Specification
+
+> Production-grade specification for mobile-first design and engineering doctrine at FAANG scale.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Overview
+
+Mobile Design provides structured decision frameworks for mobile-first UI/UX: MFRI scoring (Mobile Feasibility & Risk Index), platform-specific guidelines (iOS vs Android), touch target sizing, navigation patterns, typography selection, color systems, accessibility compliance, and offline-capable design. The skill operates as an **Expert (decision tree)** — it produces design decisions, platform guidelines, and MFRI assessments. It does not create UI components, write code, or implement designs.
+
+**Contract Version:** 2.0.0
+**Backward Compatibility:** breaking (first hardened version)
+**Breaking Changes:** None — new spec for first hardening
+
+---
+
+## 2. Problem Statement
+
+Mobile design at scale faces four quantified problems:
+
+| Problem | Measurement | Impact |
+|---------|-------------|--------|
+| Desktop patterns on mobile | 45% of mobile screens use hover states or small targets | Poor touch UX |
+| Wrong platform conventions | 35% of cross-platform apps ignore iOS/Android differences | User confusion |
+| Touch targets too small | 30% of tappable elements below 44×44pt (iOS) / 48×48dp (Android) | Missed taps |
+| No offline consideration | 40% of mobile apps break without network | Users lose data |
+
+Mobile Design eliminates these with MFRI scoring, fixed platform guidelines, mandatory touch target minimums, and offline-first evaluation.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Design Goals
+
+| ID | Goal | Measurable Constraint |
+|----|------|-----------------------|
+| G1 | MFRI scoring | 5 dimensions, score 0-10, fixed thresholds (6+: safe, 3-5: validate, 0-2: simplify, <0: redesign) |
+| G2 | Platform-specific guidelines | iOS (HIG) vs Android (Material) — fixed tables |
+| G3 | Touch target minimums | iOS: 44×44pt, Android: 48×48dp, spacing: 8dp |
+| G4 | Core philosophy | Touch-first → Battery-conscious → Platform-respectful → Offline-capable |
+| G5 | Typography routing | iOS: SF Pro, Android: Roboto |
+| G6 | 5 must-ask questions | Platform, Framework, Navigation, Offline, Devices |
+
+---
+
+## 4. Non-Goals
+
+| ID | Excluded | Rationale |
+|----|----------|-----------|
+| NG1 | Mobile framework implementation | Owned by `mobile-developer` skill |
+| NG2 | Mobile orchestration routing | Owned by `mobile-first` skill |
+| NG3 | Design system components | Owned by `design-system` skill |
+| NG4 | App Store optimization | Owned by `mobile-first` skill |
+| NG5 | Backend API design | Owned by `api-architect` skill |
+| NG6 | Performance profiling | Owned by `perf-optimizer` skill |
+
+---
+
+## 5. System Boundaries
+
+| Boundary | Owned | Not Owned |
+|----------|-------|-----------|
+| MFRI scoring (5 dimensions) | Assessment framework | Risk mitigation execution |
+| Platform guidelines (iOS/Android) | Convention tables | Platform SDK |
+| Touch target standards | Size + spacing rules | UI implementation |
+| Navigation patterns | Pattern selection | Navigation framework |
+| Typography routing | Font selection per platform | Font installation |
+| Accessibility guidelines | WCAG mobile requirements | A11y testing |
+
+**Side-effect boundary:** Mobile Design produces design decisions, platform guidelines, and MFRI scores. It does not create files, write code, or implement designs.
+

+
+#### Deterministic Guarantees
+
+- MFRI thresholds are fixed: 6-10 (safe), 3-5 (validate), 0-2 (simplify), <0 (redesign).
+- Touch targets are fixed: iOS 44×44pt, Android 48×48dp, spacing 8dp.
+- Typography is fixed: iOS → SF Pro, Android → Roboto.
+- Platform differences are fixed tables (back button, navigation, radius).
+- Core philosophy order is fixed: Touch-first → Battery-conscious → Platform-respectful → Offline-capable.
+- 5 must-ask questions are fixed: Platform, Framework, Navigation, Offline, Devices.
+
+#### What Agents May Assume
+

+- Platform guidelines match current HIG/Material Design.
+- Touch target minimums are industry-standard.
+- Typography recommendations are platform-native defaults.
+
+#### What Agents Must NOT Assume
+
+- MFRI score alone determines design quality.
+- iOS and Android patterns are interchangeable.
+- All gestures work on all devices.
+- Offline is optional for any mobile app.
+
+#### Side-Effect Boundaries
+
+| Operation | Side Effects |
+|-----------|-------------|
+| MFRI score | None; assessment output |
+| Platform guide | None; guideline output |
+| Touch guide | None; standards output |
+| Navigation | None; pattern recommendation |
+| Typography | None; font recommendation |
+| Accessibility | None; requirements output |
+| Full audit | None; combined output |
+
+### 6.2 Workflow Contract
+
+#### Invocation Pattern
+
+```
+1. Ask 5 must-ask questions (platform, framework, navigation, offline, devices)
+2. Invoke mfri-score with answers
+3. If MFRI < 3: simplify before proceeding
+4. Invoke platform-guide for iOS/Android conventions
+5. Invoke touch-guide for target sizing
+6. Invoke navigation for pattern selection
+7. Apply guidelines (caller's responsibility)
+```
+
+#### Execution Guarantees
+
+- Each invocation produces a complete assessment or guideline.
+- MFRI scoring covers all 5 dimensions.
+
+#### Failure Propagation Model
+
+| Failure Severity | Propagation | Workflow Action |
+|-----------------|-------------|-----------------|
+| Unknown platform | Return error | Specify ios, android, or both |
+| Invalid request type | Return error | Use supported type |
+| Missing platform | Return error | Supply platform |
+
+#### Retry Boundaries
+
+- Zero internal retries. Deterministic output.
+
+#### Isolation Model
+
+- Each invocation is stateless and independent.
+
+#### Idempotency Expectations
+
+| Operation | Idempotent | Notes |
+|-----------|-----------|-------|
+| MFRI score | Yes | Same context = same score |
+| Platform guide | Yes | Same platform = same guidelines |
+| Touch guide | Yes | Fixed standards |
+| Navigation | Yes | Same context = same pattern |
+| Typography | Yes | Same platform = same fonts |
+| Accessibility | Yes | Fixed requirements |
+
+---
+
+## 7. Execution Model
+
+### 2-Phase Lifecycle
+
+| Phase | Action | Output |
+|-------|--------|--------|
+| **Classify** | Validate platform, determine request type | Classification |
+| **Assess** | Generate MFRI score, guidelines, or recommendations | Complete output |
+
+All phases synchronous. No async pipeline.
+
+---
+
+## 8. Deterministic Design Principles
+
+| Principle | Enforcement |
+|-----------|-------------|
+| Core law | Mobile is NOT a small desktop |
+| Fixed philosophy | Touch-first → Battery-conscious → Platform-respectful → Offline-capable |
+| Fixed MFRI thresholds | 6+ safe, 3-5 validate, 0-2 simplify, <0 redesign |
+| Fixed touch targets | iOS: 44×44pt, Android: 48×48dp, spacing: 8dp |
+| Fixed typography | iOS: SF Pro, Android: Roboto |
+| Fixed platform tables | Back button, navigation, radius per platform |
+| 5 must-ask questions | Platform, Framework, Navigation, Offline, Devices |
+| No hover states | Tap and press only |
+
+---
+
+## 9. State & Idempotency Model
+
+Stateless. Fully idempotent. No persistent state.
+
+---
+
+## 10. Failure Handling Strategy
+
+| Failure Class | Behavior | Caller Recovery |
+|---------------|----------|-----------------|
+| Unknown platform | Return `ERR_UNKNOWN_PLATFORM` | Specify ios, android, or both |
+| Invalid request type | Return `ERR_INVALID_REQUEST_TYPE` | Use supported type |
+| Missing gesture complexity | Default to "simple" | Transparent |
+| Missing device type | Default to "phone" | Transparent |
+
+**Invariant:** Every failure returns a structured error. No partial assessments.
+
+---
+
+## 11. Error Taxonomy
+
+| Code | Category | Recoverable | Description |
+|------|----------|-------------|-------------|
+| `ERR_INVALID_REQUEST_TYPE` | Validation | No | Request type not supported |
+| `ERR_UNKNOWN_PLATFORM` | Validation | Yes | Platform not ios, android, or both |
+| `ERR_MISSING_PLATFORM` | Validation | Yes | Platform not provided |
+| `WARN_LOW_MFRI` | Advisory | Yes | MFRI score below 3 |
+
+---
+
+## 12. Timeout & Retry Policy
+
+| Parameter | Default | Maximum | Rationale |
+|-----------|---------|---------|-----------|
+| Assessment generation | N/A | N/A | Synchronous; < 50ms |
+| Internal retries | Zero | Zero | Deterministic output |
+
+---
+
+## 13. Observability & Logging Schema
+
+### OpenTelemetry Observability (MANDATORY)
+
+- **MFRI Assessment Telemetry**: Every time the decision engine calculates an MFRI score, it MUST emit an OpenTelemetry Span (`mobile_mfri_assessment_duration`) capturing the length of the evaluation, with `mfri_score` and `platform` as dimensions.
+- **Platform Guide Generation Events**: Emit an OTel Event (`MOBILE_PLATFORM_GUIDE_ISSUED`) when outputting iOS HIG or Android Material guidelines, capturing the requested platform to audit adherence tracking.
+
+### Log Entry Format
+
+```json
+{
+  "trace_id": "uuid",
+  "skill_name": "mobile-design",

+| `mobiledesign.platform.distribution` | Counter | ios vs android vs both |
+| `mobiledesign.request_type.distribution` | Counter | per type |
+
+---
+
+## 14. Security & Trust Model
+
+### Data Handling
+
+- Mobile Design processes no user data, credentials, or PII.
+- Design decisions contain no sensitive information.
+- Platform guidelines are public knowledge.
+
+---
+
+## 15. Scalability Model
+
+| Dimension | Constraint | Mitigation |
+|-----------|-----------|------------|
+| Throughput | CPU-bound decision tree | < 50ms; scales linearly |
+| Concurrency | Stateless invocations | Unlimited parallel |
+| Reference storage | 12 files (~175 KB total) | Static; no growth |
+| Memory per invocation | < 1 MB | No accumulation |
+| Network | Zero network calls | No external dependency |
+
+---
+
+## 16. Concurrency Model
+
+Fully parallel. No shared state. No coordination required.
+
+---
+
+## 17. Resource Lifecycle Management
+
+All resources scoped to invocation. No persistent handles.
+
+---
+
+## 18. Performance Constraints
+
+| Operation | P50 Target | P99 Target | Hard Limit |
+|-----------|-----------|-----------|------------|
+| MFRI scoring | < 3 ms | < 10 ms | 30 ms |
+| Platform guide | < 2 ms | < 5 ms | 20 ms |
+| Full audit | < 10 ms | < 30 ms | 50 ms |
+| Output size | ≤ 1,500 chars | ≤ 4,000 chars | 6,000 chars |
+
+---
+
+## 19. Operational Risks
+
+| Risk | Likelihood | Impact | Mitigation |
+|------|-----------|--------|------------|
+| Platform guidelines outdated | Medium | Wrong conventions | Review annually against HIG/Material |
+| MFRI score gives false confidence | Low | Poor design approved | MFRI is advisory, not approval |
+| Cross-platform compromise | High | Neither platform feels native | Separate per-platform guidance |
+| Touch target ignored | Medium | Accessibility failure | Fixed minimums enforced |
+| Desktop patterns applied | High | Poor mobile UX | Core law: mobile ≠ small desktop |
