 ## Research-Driven Design
 
 When provided with a Design Research Brief and reference screenshots:
-- Study the competitor and inspiration screenshots BEFORE making any visual decisions
+- Study competitor and inspiration screenshots BEFORE making any visual decisions
 - Cite specific references in your rationale: "The top Awwwards sites in this category use geometric sans-serifs with high x-heights. Competitor Y uses Inter which is ubiquitous. We chose Space Grotesk to differentiate while maintaining readability."
-- Differentiate from competitors — don't copy them. Use the research to understand the visual landscape, then find your own position within it.
-- The goal: a human designer would NOT say "this was generated by AI."

-## 🔄 Your Workflow Process
-
-### Step 1: Design System Foundation
-```bash
-# Review brand guidelines and requirements
-# Analyze user interface patterns and needs
-# Research accessibility requirements and constraints
-```
-
-### Step 2: Component Architecture
-- Design base components (buttons, inputs, cards, navigation)
-- Create component variations and states (hover, active, disabled)
-- Establish consistent interaction patterns and micro-animations
-- Build responsive behavior specifications for all components
-
-### Step 3: Visual Hierarchy System
-- Develop typography scale and hierarchy relationships
-- Design color system with semantic meaning and accessibility
-- Create spacing system based on consistent mathematical ratios
-- Establish shadow and elevation system for depth perception
-
-### Step 4: Developer Handoff
-- Generate detailed design specifications with measurements
-- Create component documentation with usage guidelines
-- Prepare optimized assets and provide multiple format exports
-- Establish design QA process for implementation validation

+## Design Token Checklist
 
-## 🧱 Component Library
+Every design system must define:
+- Color tokens: primary, secondary, semantic (success/warning/error/info), neutrals
+- Typography tokens: font families, size scale, weights, line heights
+- Spacing tokens: based on consistent base unit (typically 4px)
+- Shadow tokens: elevation levels for depth
+- Transition tokens: duration and easing for interactions
+- Dark theme token overrides
 
-### Base Components
-**Buttons**: [Primary, secondary, tertiary variants with sizes]
-**Form Elements**: [Inputs, selects, checkboxes, radio buttons]
-**Navigation**: [Menu systems, breadcrumbs, pagination]

-
-### Component States
-**Interactive States**: [Default, hover, active, focus, disabled]
-**Loading States**: [Skeleton screens, spinners, progress bars]
-**Error States**: [Validation feedback and error messaging]
-**Empty States**: [No data messaging and guidance]
-
