 name: mood-board
-description: Build a visual/textual mood board from web references + design-system patterns, then run the persona team through adversarial deliberation to converge on a design direction. User can add references and rerun.
+description: Build a visual mood board — Zara crops 20-24 real UI elements (cards, tables, type, colour, navigation) from 6+ live sites into a sectioned collage with each site's real colours and fonts. The persona team votes as advice; the user keeps, maybes, or rejects each tile in the browser, and the user's choice overrides every persona. The locked direction is saved for all personas.
 ---
 
-# Mood Board — Team-Based Visual Direction Setting
+# Mood Board — Zara presents, the user decides
 
-Use `/mood-board` when you want to explore visual directions for a screen, flow, or product and have the persona team deliberate on which references fit the user, task, and design system.
+Use `/mood-board` when you want to see a visual direction before designing a screen, flow, or product.
 
-## What it does
+A mood board here is an **element collage**: one cropped piece of a real website per tile (a pricing card, a table header, a filter bar, a type pairing), grouped by the design question it answers, with the source page and that site's real colours and fonts on every tile.
 
-1. **Collects references** from URLs you provide, configured `moodboard.urls`, and optional web search stubs.
-2. **Tags each reference** with style, mood, surface, and heuristic keywords.
-3. **Pulls design-system guidance** from `skills/design-reference/*.csv` (ui-reasoning, colors, styles, typography, stack files) based on your task and detected tech stack.
-4. **Runs the team** (Arjun, Meera, Priya, Zara, Noor) through adversarial deliberation using the UX Honeycomb rigor matrix.
-5. **Writes artifacts** to:
-   - `~/.analyzthis_design/sessions/{projectId}/moodboard/{boardId}/board.json` (authoritative)
-   - `./moodboard/{boardId}.json` (workspace copy for the user to inspect)
-6. **Accepts user-contributed references** and reruns deliberation with the new input.
+**The user is the final word.** Persona votes show up on each tile as advice. A user keep, maybe, or reject is never overruled, and a rejected tile can never be added back.
 
-## Entry commands
+## What a board is made of
 
-```bash
-npx analyzthis_design moodboard create --task "B2B fintech dashboard, trustworthy, high-contrast" \
-  --url https://dribbble.com/shots/example --url https://example.com/article
+| Section | Tiles | Settles |
+|---|---|---|
+| Direction note | text | Job, 3 adjectives, one "not this" |
+| `first_screen` | 3–5 | How the product introduces itself |
+| `typography` | 3–4 | Typeface character, size, hierarchy |
+| `color` | 3–4 | Palette, accent use, light or dark |
+| `components` | 6–8 | Buttons, inputs, cards, tables, navigation, radius, density |
+| `imagery` | 2–4 | Photography, illustration, icons, or none |
+| `motion` | 1–3 | Hover, transitions, loading |
 
-npx analyzthis_design moodboard create --task "SaaS onboarding landing page" --auto
+Target **20–24 tiles from at least 6 sites**. Only use the sections the brief needs — a daily table screen usually drops `first_screen`.
 
-npx analyzthis_design moodboard critique --board <boardId>
+Every tile carries: `page_url` (required), the cropped image, `section`, `element`, `tokens` (colours, fonts, radius, spacing, font size), `steal`, `refuse`, `peak`, and `concept: true` for Dribbble-style shots that are not shipped product.
 
-npx analyzthis_design moodboard add --board <boardId> \
-  --url https://dribbble.com/shots/new-ref \
-  --title "Alternative hero layout" \
-  --tags "landing,hero,trust" \
-  --note "I like the white space and the trust badge placement"
+## Flow
 
-npx analyzthis_design moodboard list
+1. **Brief.** `create` with the task, then show the user the brief (job, 3 adjectives, one "not this", sections). Save their corrections with `brief … confirmed_by_user=true`.
+2. **Zara scouts.** She opens real pages and crops elements (steps below). No invented URLs, no AI-generated pictures.
+3. **Team advice.** `jury` returns the prompt. Arjun, Noor, Priya, and Meera vote keep / skip per tile with one because-line; save with `votes`. Zara does not vote on her own tiles. The board then waits for the user — the jury never closes it or sends Zara back by itself.
+4. **User decides.** `show` serves the board on `127.0.0.1` and returns a URL. Open it with `browser_navigate`. The user clicks keep / maybe / reject and can add a "why" note on any tile. Their clicks save straight into `board.json`.
+5. **Another round** — the user clicks "Send Zara back for more" (or you call `rescout` with their words). Zara's new brief starts with **USER DECISIONS**: their note, the kept tiles to build around, the rejected tiles never to bring back, and the sections still thin. No round cap when the user asks.
+6. **Lock.** The user clicks "Lock this direction" (or `lock`). Their kept tiles, palette, fonts, rejections, and note are saved to the session as `design_direction`. Every persona reads it and must build inside it.
+
+Only record a user decision through `decide` when the user said it in chat. Never decide for them.
+
+## Capturing a tile in Cursor's browser
+
+Tested on live sites. Follow it exactly:
+
+1. `browser_navigate` with `newTab: true` — never reuse the user's canvas tab.
+2. Get the capture script: `analyzthis_mood_board action=capture_script selector=<css> text=<visible text>`. Use `text` to pin the element — a bare `h1` often hits the logo. With `text`, the smallest matching element wins.
+3. Run it with `browser_cdp` → `Runtime.evaluate` (`returnByValue: true`). It scrolls the element into view and returns `colors`, `fonts`, `radius`, `spacing`, `font_size`, and a `clip` rectangle.
+4. `browser_cdp` → `Page.captureScreenshot` with `{ format: "png", clip }`. Do not set `captureBeyondViewport` — off-screen capture repeats content.
+5. Large results are saved to a JSON file: pass that path as `image_path`. Small results come back inline: pass `data` as `image_base64`.
+6. Save with `action=tiles`, including `page_url`, `section`, `element`, `tokens`, `steal`, `refuse`, `peak`.
+
+`browser_take_screenshot` with an element `ref` is unreliable for this (it fails or crops the wrong area). Use the clip method above.
+
+## Scroll films (motion and first-screen feel)
+
+A still can't show easing, scroll choreography or a reel. For those, film the page instead of cropping it:
+
+```bash
+npx analyzthis_design moodboard film --board <id> --url https://osmo.supply --url https://exoape.com \
+  --steal "easing taste" --refuse "scroll-hijack on daily UI"
 ```
 
-## v2.0 chunked execution
+or MCP `analyzthis_mood_board action=film board=<id> urls=[…]`.
 
-`/mood-board` now runs internally through the v2.0 chunked executor:
-- Frontier planner scopes the board (personas, references, DS lookups).
-- Cheap/free models tag references, retrieve design-system rows, and run the deliberation loop.
-- Result is the same `board.json` artifact, but at lower average token cost.
+- Headless Chrome records about 15 seconds per site: the page settles, then a wheel scroll moves through four depths and a still is taken at each one. Wheel events also move sites with their own scroll engines (Lenis, Locomotive, WebGL).
+- Each film becomes a `motion` tile: a looping muted video with a poster, plus a strip of the four stills. Use `--section first_screen` for an arrival film.
+- The user judges films the same way they judge crops: keep, maybe or reject. A kept film tells everyone the motion feel they want, not a licence to copy the motion onto daily product screens.
+- Use 1–3 films per board. Film whole pages; keep cropping elements for components, typography and colour.
+- Needs `playwright-core` (`npm install playwright-core`) and Google Chrome. Without them, record the page yourself and add it with `moodboard tile --video film.webm --stills a.png,b.png`.

+- Board header always says: images are third-party references for direction only and not licensed for reuse.
+- Motion stays 150–250ms ease-out. Cinematic scroll-hijack landings are refused for daily product UI.
+- Router: `mood_board` signals route here, not to the critique chain.
 
-## Notes
+## Older link-and-tag board
 
-- Image URLs are stored as references; alt-text/captions are added during tagging.
-- Web articles are fetched as plain text; image extraction from HTML is not yet implemented.
-- Router rule: `mood_board` signals route to the `mood-board` skill, not the critique chain.
+`--kind mood` keeps the previous board: tagged URLs, design-system rows from `skills/design-reference/*.csv`, and a five-persona deliberation. Add references with `moodboard add`.

+## Scout Pass — mood board (element collage)
+
+Use this for `/mood-board`, **UI board**, or **image board**. This is not a delight pass on their current screen. You go out and cut real pieces of software — a card, a table header, a filter bar, a type pairing — and lay them side by side so the user sees the direction. Full capture steps live in `skills/mood-board/SKILL.md`.
+
+**Where to look (open real pages — never invent URLs):**
+- **Live product sites** — default. The element on a real page gives real fonts and colours.
+- **Mobbin** — shipped app screens and flows.
+- **Dribbble** — composition and craft. Mark these `concept`.
+- **Pinterest / Google Images** — density, colour, layout rhythm. Trace to the source page before cropping.
+- Also allowed: Awwwards, Screenlane, pttrns, store screenshots.

+Skip generic "AI purple SaaS hero" shots. Do not generate AI comps to fill the board.
+
+**Scout lens (you, not the jury):** Peak-End. First **2 seconds**. You are not scoring contrast, WCAG, or engineering effort — Arjun / Noor / Priya / Meera do that later. For every image ask:
+
+1. **Same job?** Working table / form / empty state vs a marketing poster. If the brief is a daily screen, skip cinematic landings.
+2. **Peak?** What feeling hits first (calm density, "ready to sign", trustworthy, fast)? If nothing hits, skip.
+3. **Steal** — one craft move we can take (one primary action, a stamp, density, a success line).
+4. **Refuse** — one trap we will not copy. Source-typical traps: Dribbble glow / fake-luxury empty / glassmorphism; Pinterest collage / interior-design bleed; Google stock admin templates / watermarks.
+5. **Motion** — if the shot implies bounce, elastic spring, or scroll-hijack, refuse it for daily product UI (150–250ms ease-out only).
+6. **Reality** — concept vs shipped. Concept is allowed as a frame if steal/refuse are honest. Never present a Dribbble hero as "this is how Stripe ships."
+
+Crop **20–24 tiles from 6+ sites**, spread across the brief's sections. Then stop. You do not score your own picks.
+
+**Steps:**
+1. Show the user the brief first — job, 3 adjectives, one "not this", sections. Let them correct it.
+2. Read `scout.brief`. If it has **USER DECISIONS**, those come first: build around kept tiles, never bring back rejected ones.
+3. Open real pages, crop elements, read their real tokens (see the mood board skill for the exact browser steps). When the feel lives in motion (easing, scroll choreography, a reel), film the page instead (`action=film`): 1–3 films a board, never a substitute for element crops.
+4. Write steal / refuse / peak on each tile and save it to the board.
+5. The jury votes as advice. Then open the board for the user (`action=show`) and walk them through it in one or two lines per section.
+6. The user decides. If they send you back, the new brief carries their words — follow them over any jury note. No round cap when the user asks.
+7. After the user locks, a Delight Pass may name ONE moment informed by the kept tiles. Still one moment. Still 150–250ms ease-out.
