-
----
-
-## 14. Cross-Workflow Alignment (Epics File Update)
-
-**As UX design progresses, you discover implementation details that affect the story breakdown**
-
-### Stories Discovered During UX Design
-
-- [ ] **Review epics.md file** for alignment with UX design
-- [ ] **New stories identified** during UX design that weren't in epics.md:
-  - [ ] Custom component build stories (if significant)
-  - [ ] UX pattern implementation stories
-  - [ ] Animation/transition stories
-  - [ ] Responsive adaptation stories
-  - [ ] Accessibility implementation stories
-  - [ ] Edge case handling stories discovered during journey design
-  - [ ] Onboarding/empty state stories
-  - [ ] Error state handling stories
-
-### Story Complexity Adjustments
-
-- [ ] **Existing stories complexity reassessed** based on UX design:
-  - [ ] Stories that are now more complex (UX revealed additional requirements)
-  - [ ] Stories that are simpler (design system handles more than expected)
-  - [ ] Stories that should be split (UX design shows multiple components/flows)
-  - [ ] Stories that can be combined (UX design shows they're tightly coupled)
-
-### Epic Alignment
-
-- [ ] **Epic scope still accurate** after UX design
-- [ ] **New epic needed** for discovered work (if significant)
-- [ ] **Epic ordering might change** based on UX dependencies
-
-### Action Items for Epics File Update
-
-- [ ] **List of new stories to add** to epics.md documented
-- [ ] **Complexity adjustments noted** for existing stories
-- [ ] **Update epics.md** OR flag for architecture review first
-- [ ] **Rationale documented** for why new stories/changes are needed
-
-**Note:** If significant story changes are identified, consider running architecture workflow BEFORE updating epics.md, since architecture decisions might reveal additional adjustments needed.
-
----
-
-## 15. Decision Rationale
-
-**Unlike template-driven workflows, this workflow should document WHY**
-
-- [ ] **Design system choice has rationale** (why this fits the project)
-- [ ] **Color theme selection has reasoning** (why this emotional impact)
-- [ ] **Design direction choice explained** (what user liked, how it fits vision)
-- [ ] **User journey approaches justified** (why this flow pattern)
-- [ ] **UX pattern decisions have context** (why these patterns for this app)
-- [ ] **Responsive strategy aligned with user priorities**
-- [ ] **Accessibility level appropriate for deployment intent**
-
----
-
-## 16. Implementation Readiness
-
-- [ ] **Designers can create high-fidelity mockups** from this spec
-- [ ] **Developers can implement** with clear UX guidance
-- [ ] **Sufficient detail** for frontend development
-- [ ] **Component specifications actionable** (states, variants, behaviors)
-- [ ] **Flows implementable** (clear steps, decision logic, error handling)
-- [ ] **Visual foundation complete** (colors, typography, spacing all defined)
-- [ ] **Pattern consistency enforceable** (clear rules for implementation)
-
----
-
-## 17. Critical Failures (Auto-Fail)
-
-- [ ] ❌ **No visual collaboration** (color themes or design mockups not generated)
-- [ ] ❌ **User not involved in decisions** (auto-generated without collaboration)
-- [ ] ❌ **No design direction chosen** (missing key visual decisions)
-- [ ] ❌ **No user journey designs** (critical flows not documented)
-- [ ] ❌ **No UX pattern consistency rules** (implementation will be inconsistent)
-- [ ] ❌ **Missing core experience definition** (no clarity on what makes app unique)
-- [ ] ❌ **No component specifications** (components not actionable)
-- [ ] ❌ **Responsive strategy missing** (for multi-platform projects)
-- [ ] ❌ **Accessibility ignored** (no compliance target or requirements)
-- [ ] ❌ **Generic/templated content** (not specific to this project)
