+  - Can someone with color blindness distinguish important elements?

+  ---
+  
+  ## 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)
+
