+### 6. Extract UX Design Requirements (if UX document exists)
 
-Review the UX document for requirements that affect epic and story creation:
+**IMPORTANT**: The UX Design Specification is a first-class input document, not supplementary material. Requirements from the UX spec must be extracted with the same rigor as PRD functional requirements.
+
+Read the FULL UX Design document and extract ALL actionable work items:
 
 **Look for:**
 
-- Responsive design requirements
-- Accessibility requirements
-- Browser/device compatibility
-- User interaction patterns that need implementation
-- Animation or transition requirements
-- Error handling UX requirements
+- **Design token work**: Color systems, spacing scales, typography tokens that need implementation or consolidation
+- **Component proposals**: Reusable UI components identified in the UX spec (e.g., ConfirmActions, StatusMessage, EmptyState, FocusIndicator)
+- **Visual standardization**: Semantic CSS classes, consistent color palette usage, design pattern consolidation
+- **Accessibility requirements**: Contrast audit fixes, ARIA patterns, keyboard navigation, screen reader support
+- **Responsive design requirements**: Breakpoints, layout adaptations, mobile-specific interactions
+- **Interaction patterns**: Animations, transitions, loading states, error handling UX
+- **Browser/device compatibility**: Target platforms, progressive enhancement requirements
+
+**Format UX Design Requirements as a SEPARATE section (not merged into Additional Requirements):**
+
+```
+UX-DR1: [Actionable UX design requirement with clear implementation scope]
+UX-DR2: [Actionable UX design requirement with clear implementation scope]
+...
+```
 
-**Add these to Additional Requirements list.**
+**🚨 CRITICAL**: Do NOT reduce UX requirements to vague summaries. Each UX-DR must be specific enough to generate a story with testable acceptance criteria. If the UX spec identifies 6 reusable components, list all 6 — not "create reusable components."
