+### Visual Quality Signal (MANDATORY - ask in Phase 1)
+
+Ask the user: "What level of visual experience are you looking for?"
+
+1. **Functional** - Clean, professional, focus on usability. Minimal animations.
+2. **Premium** - Smooth scroll, section reveals, micro-interactions. Award-winning quality UX. (RECOMMENDED DEFAULT)
+3. **Showcase** - Full immersive experience. 3D elements, complex scroll storytelling, cinematic transitions.
+
+Record the answer in the Brief output under a new `visual_quality` field:
+```yaml
+visual_quality: premium  # functional | premium | showcase
+```
+
+If the user doesn't express a preference, DEFAULT to **premium**.
+This field flows downstream to Architect (animation tech stack), UX (motion system scope), and QA-Planning (validation).
+
+### Visual Reference Analysis (MANDATORY when user provides reference URLs)
+
+When the user provides links to reference websites or visual inspiration:
+
+For EACH reference URL:
+
+1. **WebFetch the URL** - read the full page
+2. **Extract the visual DNA** and document:
+   - **Color palette**: Primary, secondary, accent colors observed
+   - **Typography**: Font families, sizes, weights, letter-spacing patterns
+   - **Layout pattern**: Grid structure, whitespace strategy, content density, section rhythm
+   - **Animation style**: Scroll behavior (smooth/native), reveal animations, hover effects, page transitions
+   - **Scroll experience**: Parallax? Pinned sections? Stagger reveals? Smooth momentum scroll?
+   - **Micro-interactions**: Button hovers, link underlines, card lifts, cursor effects, loading states
+   - **Overall mood**: Minimalist? Bold? Playful? Corporate? Editorial? Tech? Luxury?
+   - **Quality tier**: Functional / Premium / Showcase
+   - **Estimated libraries**: What animation/UI libraries would be needed to replicate this?
+
+3. **Write structured analysis** in the Brief output:
+```yaml
+visual_references:
+  - url: "https://example.com"
+    color_palette: "Dark navy + teal accents + white text"
+    typography: "Sans-serif geometric, large headlines, tight letter-spacing"
+    layout: "Full-width sections, generous whitespace, 1-column hero"
+    animation_style: "GSAP scroll reveals, parallax backgrounds, stagger cards"
+    scroll_experience: "Smooth momentum scroll, pinned hero, section reveals at 15% threshold"
+    micro_interactions: "Scale 1.03 on card hover, underline slide on links, cursor glow"
+    mood: "Premium corporate with tech edge"
+    quality_tier: "premium"
+    estimated_libraries: "GSAP + ScrollTrigger, Lenis, possibly Three.js for hero"
+```
+
+4. **Synthesize across ALL references**:
+   - What visual patterns appear in MOST references? (these are the user's true preferences)
+   - What is the minimum quality tier across all references?
+   - What animation libraries would be needed to replicate these patterns?
+   - Write a `reference_synthesis` summary in the Brief output
+
+This analysis flows to UX (Brand Architect uses it as primary input) and Architect (tech stack must support the identified patterns).

+
+### Visual Reference Analysis (MANDATORY if visual_references exist)
+
+After writing brief-report.md, a PostToolUse hook automatically captures reference sites in background (screenshots, scroll videos, CSS tokens). While it runs, proceed with the steps below.
+
+**Step 1: Wait for captures** — run this command to ensure all captures are complete:
+```bash
+node .chati.dev/orchestrator/chati-router.js wait-for-capture
+```
+Read the JSON response. Note which sites have `status: "ok"`.
+
+**Step 2: Spawn ONE Visualizer PER SITE** — each site gets its own agent (separate context, no overflow). Spawn them IN PARALLEL in a SINGLE message:
+
+Display to user (translate to session.language): *"Analyzing the reference sites you provided in depth — scroll experience, animations, colors, and typography..."*
+
+For EACH site with `status: "ok"` from wait-for-capture, spawn:
 ```
+Agent tool call:
+  model: sonnet
+  description: "Visualizer — {site_slug} scroll analysis"
+  prompt: |
+    You are the Visualizer agent. Read and follow .chati.dev/agents/shared/visualizer.md (Mode 1: Reference Analysis).
+
+    Analyze ONE site only: {site_slug} ({site_url})
+
+    1. Read ALL frames in artifacts/4-UX/references/{site_slug}/desktop/frames/
+    2. Read ALL frames in artifacts/4-UX/references/{site_slug}/mobile/frames/
+    3. Read artifacts/4-UX/references/{site_slug}/extracted-tokens.json
+    4. Produce a Visual Experience Report for this site ONLY
+
+    Save output to artifacts/4-UX/references/{site_slug}/analysis.md
+```
+
+Example: if 3 sites captured, spawn 3 Agent calls in ONE message (parallel).
+
+**Step 3: Wait for ALL Visualizers to return** — do NOT proceed until every spawned agent finishes.
+
+**Step 4: Consolidate** — after all return:
+1. Read each `artifacts/4-UX/references/{slug}/analysis.md`
+2. Merge into a single `artifacts/4-UX/reference-analysis.md` with all sites
+3. Append a `## Visual Experience Analysis` section to `brief-report.md` with a summary (animation patterns, design DNA, key differentiators per site)
+4. NOW present completion options to the user
+
+If no visual_references exist in the brief: skip all 3 steps, proceed to handoff directly.
+
+**IMPORTANT:** Do NOT present completion options before the Visualizer returns. The user must see the complete brief (text + visual analysis) before approving.

+## Reasoning Tier
+
+**Default**: `deep` (Article XXIII — Reasoning Tier Governance).
+
+The `reasoning-escalator.js` hook promotes this agent to a higher tier on friction signals (correction cycles >= 2, decision-trail entries > 2, task touches > 5 files or > 200 lines, user keywords like "stuck"/"loop"/"redesign", cross-viewport regression, explicit `/ultraplan` or `/deliberate`). A `/quick` command forces the tier back to `standard`.
+
+When the tier is `deliberate`, the hook blocks `Write`/`Edit` calls on source files until `.planning/<task>-plan.md` exists. See `chati.dev/hooks/reasoning-escalator.js` for the full trigger list and `chati.dev/constitution.md` Article XXIII for governance rules.
