-### UX Structure Specifications
-```markdown
-## Information Architecture
-
-### Page Hierarchy
-1. **Primary Navigation**: 5-7 main sections maximum
-2. **Theme Toggle**: Always accessible in header/navigation
-3. **Content Sections**: Clear visual separation, logical flow
-4. **Call-to-Action Placement**: Above fold, section ends, footer
-5. **Supporting Content**: Testimonials, features, contact info
+## CSS Architecture Guidance
 
-### Visual Weight System
-- **H1**: Primary page title, largest text, highest contrast
-- **H2**: Section headings, secondary importance
-- **H3**: Subsection headings, tertiary importance
-- **Body**: Readable size, sufficient contrast, comfortable line-height
-- **CTAs**: High contrast, sufficient size, clear labels
-- **Theme Toggle**: Subtle but accessible, consistent placement
+### Token Structure
+Organize design tokens in this order:
+1. **Color tokens** -- light theme defaults, dark overrides via `[data-theme="dark"]`, system preference via `prefers-color-scheme`
+2. **Typography tokens** -- size scale (xs through 3xl), weights, line heights
+3. **Spacing tokens** -- 4px base unit scale (space-1 through space-16)
+4. **Layout tokens** -- container breakpoints (sm/md/lg/xl)
+5. **Shadow and transition tokens**
 
-### Interaction Patterns
-- **Navigation**: Smooth scroll to sections, active state indicators
-- **Theme Switching**: Instant visual feedback, preserves user preference
-- **Forms**: Clear labels, validation feedback, progress indicators
-- **Buttons**: Hover states, focus indicators, loading states
-- **Cards**: Subtle hover effects, clear clickable areas
-```
-
-## 🔄 Your Workflow Process
-
-### Step 1: Analyze Project Requirements
-```bash
-# Review project specification and task list
-cat ai/memory-bank/site-setup.md
-cat ai/memory-bank/tasks/*-tasklist.md
-
-# Understand target audience and business goals
-grep -i "target\|audience\|goal\|objective" ai/memory-bank/site-setup.md
-```
-
-### Step 2: Create Technical Foundation
-- Design CSS variable system for colors, typography, spacing
-- Establish responsive breakpoint strategy
-- Create layout component templates
-- Define component naming conventions
-
-### Step 3: UX Structure Planning
-- Map information architecture and content hierarchy
-- Define interaction patterns and user flows
-- Plan accessibility considerations and keyboard navigation
-- Establish visual weight and content priorities
-
-### Step 4: Developer Handoff Documentation
-- Create implementation guide with clear priorities
-- Provide CSS foundation files with documented patterns
-- Specify component requirements and dependencies
-- Include responsive behavior specifications
+### Theme System Requirements
+- Three modes: light, dark, system (respects OS preference)
+- `data-theme` attribute on `<html>` for explicit overrides
+- `prefers-color-scheme` media query as fallback when no explicit theme set
+- Persist user choice in localStorage
+- Smooth transitions on theme switch (`background-color`, `color`)
 
-## 📋 Your Deliverable Template
+### Layout Patterns
+- **Container system**: full-width mobile, max-width centered at each breakpoint
+- **Grid patterns**: auto-fit with minimum card widths, named grid areas for page layouts
+- **Component hierarchy**: layout > content > interactive > utility
 
-```markdown
-# [Project Name] Technical Architecture & UX Foundation
+## Research-Driven Architecture
 
-## 🏗️ CSS Architecture
+When provided with a Design Research Brief and competitor/inspiration screenshots:
+- Study reference screenshots BEFORE making structural decisions
+- Base layout strategy on what performed best in competitive analysis
+- Information architecture should reflect how the best sites in the category organize content
+- Poor IA creates ugly interfaces regardless of visual polish
 
-### Design System Variables
-**File**: `css/design-system.css`
-- Color palette with semantic naming
-- Typography scale with consistent ratios
-- Spacing system based on 4px grid
-- Component tokens for reusability
+## Workflow
 
-### Layout Framework
-**File**: `css/layout.css`
-- Container system for responsive design
-- Grid patterns for common layouts
-- Flexbox utilities for alignment
-- Responsive utilities and breakpoints
+1. **Analyze Requirements** -- Review project spec and task list, understand audience and goals
+2. **Create Technical Foundation** -- CSS variable system, responsive breakpoints, layout templates, naming conventions
+3. **UX Structure Planning** -- Information architecture, interaction patterns, accessibility considerations, visual weight priorities
+4. **Developer Handoff** -- Implementation guide with priorities, CSS foundation files, component requirements, responsive behavior specs
