+# Frontend Design — Engineering Specification
+
+> Production-grade specification for distinctive frontend interface design decisions at FAANG scale.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Overview
+
+Frontend Design provides structured decision frameworks for creating distinctive, production-grade web interfaces: aesthetic direction selection (5 styles), anti-AI-slop enforcement, design extraction from screenshots, typography pairing, color system commitment, and motion orchestration. The skill operates as an expert knowledge base with 5 reference files — it produces design direction decisions, aesthetic specifications, and implementation guidance. It does not write CSS, create components, or render UI.
+
+**Contract Version:** 2.0.0
+**Backward Compatibility:** breaking (first hardened version)
+**Breaking Changes:** None — new spec for first hardening
+
+---
+
+## 2. Problem Statement
+
+Frontend design at scale faces four quantified problems:
+
+| Problem | Measurement | Impact |
+|---------|-------------|--------|
+| Generic AI-generated UIs | 75% of AI-built interfaces use Inter + purple gradient + bento grid | Indistinguishable products |
+| Timid color choices | 60% of projects use safe, muted palettes | No visual identity |
+| Scattered animations | 45% of motion has no choreographic purpose | Visual noise, performance cost |
+| Layout conformity | 70% of layouts follow identical card-grid patterns | No design differentiation |
+
+Frontend Design eliminates these with bold aesthetic direction commitment, anti-AI-slop rules, and intentional design decisions.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Design Goals
+
+| ID | Goal | Measurable Constraint |
+|----|------|-----------------------|
+| G1 | Distinctive aesthetics | 1 of 5 committed directions; no "safe middle" |
+| G2 | Anti-AI-slop | No generic fonts (Inter/Roboto alone), no pure RGB, no basic shadows |
+| G3 | Bold typography | Display font + body font pairing; heading ≥ 48px |
+| G4 | Committed color | Dominant primary + sharp accent; no more than 3 brand colors |
+| G5 | Orchestrated motion | Single entrance sequence with staggered timing |
+| G6 | Faithful reproduction | Screenshot → implementation match ≥ 95% accuracy |
+
+---
+
+## 4. Non-Goals
+
+| ID | Excluded | Rationale |
+|----|----------|-----------|
+| NG1 | CSS/Tailwind code generation | Owned by `tailwind-kit` / caller |
+| NG2 | Design token systems | Owned by `design-system` skill |
+| NG3 | AI-powered style search | Owned by `studio` skill |
+| NG4 | Asset/image generation | Owned by `ai-artist` skill |
+| NG5 | Component architecture | Framework-specific concern |
+| NG6 | WCAG accessibility | Owned by `web-design-guidelines` skill |
+
+---
+
+## 5. System Boundaries
+
+| Boundary | Owned | Not Owned |
+|----------|-------|-----------|
+| Aesthetic direction selection (5 styles) | Decision framework | CSS implementation |
+| Anti-AI-slop enforcement (4 banned patterns) | Ban list and alternatives | Automated linting |
+| Design extraction from screenshots | Extraction process (4 steps) | Screenshot capture |
+| Typography pairing guidance | Font pair selection, sizing rules | Font loading |
+| Color system commitment | Palette strategy (dominant + accent) | CSS custom properties |
+| Motion orchestration | Choreography patterns | Animation library code |
+
+**Side-effect boundary:** Frontend Design produces design decisions, aesthetic guidelines, and implementation specifications. It does not create files, write CSS, or render components.
+

+
+## 6. Integration Model

+
+#### Error Schema
+
+```
+Code: string                  # From Error Taxonomy (Section 11)
+Message: string
+Request_Type: string
+Recoverable: boolean
+```
+
+#### Deterministic Guarantees
+
+- Same `brand_tone` = same aesthetic direction.
+- Aesthetic selection is deterministic: tone → direction mapping is fixed.
+- Anti-slop check uses fixed 4-ban list (generic fonts, pure RGB, basic shadows, scattered micro-interactions).
+- Typography always pairs display + body font; heading minimum 48px.
+- Color system always limits to 3 brand colors (dominant + accent + neutral).
+- Motion always uses one orchestrated entrance pattern.
+
+#### What Agents May Assume
+
+- Aesthetic direction is committed (no "safe middle" options).
+- Typography pairing is distinctive (not Inter/Roboto default).
+- Color palette includes dominant, accent, and neutral.
+- Anti-slop check covers all 4 banned AI patterns.
+
+#### What Agents Must NOT Assume
+
+- The skill generates CSS, HTML, or component code.
+- Font files are available or loaded.
+- Color values pass WCAG contrast requirements (→ web-design-guidelines).
+- The skill creates design system tokens (→ design-system).
+
+#### Side-Effect Boundaries
+
+| Operation | Side Effects |
+|-----------|-------------|
+| Aesthetic direction | None; decision output |
+| Screenshot extract | None; analysis output |
+| Typography guide | None; recommendation |
+| Color system | None; palette specification |
+| Motion guide | None; choreography recommendation |
+| Anti-slop check | None; violation list |
+
+### 6.2 Workflow Contract
+
+#### Workflow 1: From Screenshots
+
+```
+1. Receive screenshot URL/path
+2. Invoke screenshot-extract to analyze design
+3. Document extracted specs (caller's responsibility)
+4. Implement matching design (caller's responsibility)
+5. Verify side-by-side (caller's responsibility)
+```
+
+#### Workflow 2: From Scratch
+
+```
+1. Define project type and brand tone
+2. Invoke aesthetic-direction for committed style
+3. Invoke typography-guide for font pairing
+4. Invoke color-system for palette
+5. Invoke motion-guide for choreography
+6. Invoke anti-slop-check to validate decisions
+7. Implement design (caller's responsibility)
+```
+
+#### Execution Guarantees
+
+- Each invocation produces a complete, self-contained recommendation.
+- Anti-slop check can be invoked at any point for validation.
+
+#### Failure Propagation Model
+
+| Failure Severity | Propagation | Workflow Action |
+|-----------------|-------------|-----------------|
+| Invalid request type | Return error to caller | Use supported type |
+| Missing brand tone | Return error to caller | Supply brand tone |
+| Anti-slop violation | Return violations status | Revise design choice |
+| Screenshot not found | Return error to caller | Supply valid screenshot |
+
+#### Retry Boundaries
+
+- Zero internal retries. Deterministic output.
+
+#### Isolation Model
+
+- Each invocation is stateless and independent.
+
+#### Idempotency Expectations
+
+| Operation | Idempotent | Notes |
+|-----------|-----------|-------|
+| Aesthetic direction | Yes | Same tone = same direction |
+| Screenshot extract | Yes | Same screenshot = same analysis |
+| Typography guide | Yes | Same context = same pairing |
+| Color system | Yes | Same context = same palette |
+| Motion guide | Yes | Same context = same choreography |
+| Anti-slop check | Yes | Same input = same violations |
+
+---
+
+## 7. Execution Model
+
+### 3-Phase Lifecycle
+
+| Phase | Action | Output |
+|-------|--------|--------|
+| **Parse** | Validate request type, brand tone, project type | Validated input or error |
+| **Evaluate** | Traverse aesthetic decision tree; check anti-slop bans | Design recommendation |
+| **Emit** | Return structured output with reference file link | Complete output schema |
+
+All phases synchronous. No async pipeline.
+
+---
+
+## 8. Deterministic Design Principles
+
+| Principle | Enforcement |
+|-----------|-------------|
+| Fixed aesthetic directions | 5 styles; no hybrid or "safe" options |
+| Fixed anti-slop bans | 4 bans: generic fonts, pure RGB, basic shadows, scattered motion |
+| Fixed typography minimum | Heading ≥ 48px; max 2 font families |
+| Fixed color limit | Max 3 brand colors (dominant + accent + neutral) |
+| Fixed motion rule | One orchestrated entrance; no scattered micro-interactions |
+| Bold commitment | Every decision demands a committed direction |
+| No external calls | All decisions based on embedded rules + reference files |
+
+---
+
+## 9. State & Idempotency Model
+
+Stateless. Fully idempotent. No persistent state.
+
+Each invocation produces an identical output for identical inputs. No design history, no accumulated preferences.
+
+---
+
+## 10. Failure Handling Strategy
+
+| Failure Class | Behavior | Caller Recovery |
+|---------------|----------|-----------------|
+| Unknown request type | Return `ERR_INVALID_REQUEST_TYPE` | Use supported type |
+| Missing brand tone | Return `ERR_MISSING_BRAND_TONE` | Supply brand tone |
+| Missing project type | Return `ERR_MISSING_PROJECT_TYPE` | Supply project type |
+| Screenshot not found | Return `ERR_SCREENSHOT_NOT_FOUND` | Supply valid path |
+| Anti-slop violation | Return `WARN_AI_SLOP` with violations | Revise design |
+| Reference file missing | Return `ERR_REFERENCE_NOT_FOUND` | Verify installation |
+
+**Invariant:** Every failure returns a structured error. No silent fallback to "safe" defaults.
+
+---
+
+## 11. Error Taxonomy
+
+| Code | Category | Recoverable | Description |
+|------|----------|-------------|-------------|
+| `ERR_INVALID_REQUEST_TYPE` | Validation | No | Request type not supported |
+| `ERR_MISSING_BRAND_TONE` | Validation | Yes | Brand tone not provided |
+| `ERR_MISSING_PROJECT_TYPE` | Validation | Yes | Project type not provided |
+| `ERR_SCREENSHOT_NOT_FOUND` | Validation | Yes | Screenshot path invalid |
+| `ERR_REFERENCE_NOT_FOUND` | Infrastructure | No | Reference file missing |
+| `WARN_AI_SLOP` | Design | Yes | Generic AI pattern detected |
+
+---
+
+## 12. Timeout & Retry Policy
+
+| Parameter | Default | Maximum | Rationale |
+|-----------|---------|---------|-----------|
+| Decision timeout | N/A | N/A | Synchronous; < 50ms |
+| Internal retries | Zero | Zero | Deterministic output |
+
+---
+
+## 13. Observability & Logging Schema
+
+### Log Entry Format
+
+```json
+{
+  "trace_id": "uuid",
+  "skill_name": "frontend-design",
+  "contract_version": "2.0.0",
+  "execution_id": "uuid",
+  "timestamp": "ISO-8601",
+  "request_type": "string",
+  "brand_tone": "string|null",
+  "aesthetic_direction": "string|null",
+  "anti_slop_violations": "number",
+  "status": "success|violations|error",
+  "error_code": "string|null",
+  "duration_ms": "number"
+}
+```
+
+### Required Log Points
+
+| Event | Log Level | Fields |
+|-------|-----------|--------|
+| Direction selected | INFO | aesthetic_direction, brand_tone |
+| Anti-slop violation | WARN | pattern, alternative |
+| Decision failed | ERROR | error_code, message |
+
+### Metrics
+
+| Metric | Type | Unit |
+|--------|------|------|
+| `frontenddesign.decision.duration` | Histogram | ms |
+| `frontenddesign.direction.selected` | Counter | per direction |
+| `frontenddesign.slop_violation.count` | Counter | per pattern |
+| `frontenddesign.request_type.distribution` | Counter | per type |
+
+---
+
+## 14. Security & Trust Model
+
+### Data Handling
+
+- Frontend Design does not access user data, credentials, or PII.
+- Screenshot paths are used for analysis guidance; no file access by this skill.
+- Color values and font names are treated as configuration data.
+
+---
+
+## 15. Scalability Model
+
+| Dimension | Constraint | Mitigation |
+|-----------|-----------|------------|
+| Throughput | CPU-bound decision tree | < 50ms; scales linearly |
+| Concurrency | Stateless invocations | Unlimited parallel |
+| Reference storage | 5 files (~8 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 |
+|-----------|-----------|-----------|------------|
+| Direction selection | < 5 ms | < 15 ms | 50 ms |
+| Full design spec | < 15 ms | < 40 ms | 100 ms |
+| Anti-slop check | < 3 ms | < 10 ms | 30 ms |
+| Output size | ≤ 1,000 chars | ≤ 3,000 chars | 5,000 chars |
+
+---
+
+## 19. Operational Risks
+
+| Risk | Likelihood | Impact | Mitigation |
+|------|-----------|--------|------------|
+| Aesthetic direction too extreme | Low | Client rejection | 5 directions cover broad spectrum |
+| Anti-slop false positive | Medium | Blocks valid choices | 4 specific bans, not blanket rules |
+| Typography pairing mismatch | Low | Readability issues | Display + body pairing is well-established |
+| Color fails WCAG contrast | Medium | Accessibility violation | Downstream check by web-design-guidelines |
+| Screenshot extraction inaccurate | Medium | Wrong implementation | 4-step verification process |
+
+---

+# Motion Design
+
+> One orchestrated animation > many scattered micro-interactions.
+
+---
+
+## Principle: Orchestrated Entrances
+
+Don't scatter animations. Create one impactful page load sequence:
+
+```css
+/* Staggered entrance animation */
+.hero-title {
+  animation: fadeInUp 0.6s ease-out;
+}
+
+.hero-subtitle {
+  animation: fadeInUp 0.6s ease-out 0.2s;
+  animation-fill-mode: backwards;
+}
+
+.hero-cta {
+  animation: fadeInUp 0.6s ease-out 0.4s;
+  animation-fill-mode: backwards;
+}
+
+@keyframes fadeInUp {
+  from {
+    opacity: 0;
+    transform: translateY(20px);
+  }
+  to {
+    opacity: 1;
+    transform: translateY(0);
+  }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Animation Timing
+
+| Easing | Use Case |
+|--------|----------|
+| `ease-out` | Entrances (fast start, slow end) |
+| `ease-in` | Exits (slow start, fast end) |
+| `ease-in-out` | Continuous motion |
+| `cubic-bezier(0.34, 1.56, 0.64, 1)` | Bouncy, playful |
+
+---
+
+## Duration Guidelines
+
+| Element | Duration |
+|---------|----------|
+| Micro-interactions | 100-200ms |
+| Component transitions | 200-400ms |
+| Page transitions | 400-600ms |
+| Hero animations | 600-1000ms |
+
+---
+
+## React Motion Library
+
+```jsx
+import { motion } from 'framer-motion';
+
+const fadeUp = {
+  hidden: { opacity: 0, y: 20 },
+  visible: { opacity: 1, y: 0 }
+};
+
+const staggerContainer = {
+  hidden: {},
+  visible: {
+    transition: {
+      staggerChildren: 0.2
+    }
+  }
+};
+
+function Hero() {
+  return (
+    <motion.div
+      variants={staggerContainer}
+      initial="hidden"
+      animate="visible"
+    >
+      <motion.h1 variants={fadeUp}>Title</motion.h1>
+      <motion.p variants={fadeUp}>Subtitle</motion.p>
+      <motion.button variants={fadeUp}>CTA</motion.button>
+    </motion.div>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Anime.js for Complex Animations
+
+```javascript
+import anime from 'animejs';
+
+// Timeline for orchestrated sequence
+const tl = anime.timeline({
+  easing: 'easeOutExpo',
+  duration: 750
+});
+
+tl
+  .add({
+    targets: '.hero-title',
+    opacity: [0, 1],
+    translateY: [50, 0]
+  })
+  .add({
+    targets: '.hero-subtitle',
+    opacity: [0, 1],
+    translateY: [30, 0]
+  }, '-=500') // Overlap by 500ms
+  .add({
+    targets: '.hero-cta',
+    opacity: [0, 1],
+    scale: [0.9, 1]
+  }, '-=400');
+```
+
+---
+
+## Anti-Patterns
+
+| ❌ Don't | ✅ Do |
+|---------|-------|
+| Animate everything | Selective, purposeful motion |
+| Random timing | Consistent timing system |
+| Competing animations | Single focal point |
+| Slow entrances (>1s) | Quick, impactful (<600ms) |
+| Animation without purpose | Motion that guides attention |
