-
-### Relationship with Other Skills
-| Skill | Interaction | When |
-|------|----------------|-------|
-| `$html-pdf-report` | Primary recipient: Report Design Spec → Layouter implements in HTML/CSS/Chart.js | After the design is completed (step 7) |
-| `$gates` (DS-01) | Checking the readiness of the design spec before handing off to the Layouter | After step 7 |
-| `$handoff` | Handing off the design spec via handoff envelope | After the gate check |
-| `$board` | Updating the status of DS-01 | After handoff |
-| Framework skills | Framework output templates (SWOT, BCG, Ansoff, etc.) → determine the visualization type | Step 3: selecting visualizations |
-
-## Protocol
-
-### Step 0 — Clarification
-1. Clarify the target audience of the report.
-2. Find out if there is a corporate style / brand book.
-3. Determine the level of detail:
-
-   | Audience | Level | Volume | Focus |
-   |-----------|---------|-------|-------|
-   | CEO / investor | Executive | 8-12 pages | Verdict, metrics, recommendations |
-   | Operational team | Detailed | 15-25 pages | Data, methodology, action plan |
-   | External client | Presentable | 10-15 pages | Findings, visualizations, recommendations |
-
-4. Clarify the format (A4 portrait, number of pages).
-5. Record preferences for visualizations.
-
-### Step 1 — Content Inventory
-1. Go through all input artifacts sequentially.
-2. For each element, record:
-
-   | Source | Element | Data Type | Importance | Recommendation |
-   |----------|---------|:----------:|:----------:|-------------|
-   | Brief | Task scope | Text | Critical | Title + Exec Summary |
-   | Alpha / RES-01 | EdTech market TAM | Number ($4.2B) | Critical | Bar chart + Exec Summary |
-   | Alpha / AN-01 | SWOT matrix | 2x2 framework | Important | CSS Matrix |
-   | Mediator | Final verdict | Text | Critical | Pull quote + Exec Summary |
-   | Beta / ST-02 | Alternative strategy | Text + table | Supporting | Appendix B |
-
-3. Count: how many Critical / Important / Supporting elements there are.
-4. Mark data points that require visualization.
-5. Mark text blocks for callout boxes and pull quotes.
-
-### Step 2 — Report Structure
-1. Define sections:
-
-   | # | Section | Pages | Content | Page Break |
-   |---|--------|:----:|------------|:----------:|
-   | 1 | Title Page | 1 | Title, date, audience, logo | After |
-   | 2 | Table of Contents | 1 | Auto-generated from sections | After |
-   | 3 | Executive Summary | 1-1.5 | Verdict, findings, recommendations | After |
-   | 4 | Main: Verdict and metrics | 2-3 | Key data, scoring | — |
-   | 5 | Main: Strategy and roadmap | 2-3 | Recommendations, roadmap | — |
-   | 6 | Main: Detailed analysis | 3-5 | Frameworks, tables | — |
-   | 7 | Appendix A: Alpha Report | 3-5 | Full Team Alpha report | Before |
-   | 8 | Appendix B: Beta Report | 3-5 | Full Team Beta report (Full) | Before |
-   | 9 | Appendix C: Mediator Reasoning | 1-2 | Verdict justification | Before |
-   | 10 | Appendix D: Sources | 1-2 | All sources with dates | Before |
-
-2. For Quick Pipeline: remove Appendix B, shorten sections 4-6.
-3. Assign page breaks between sections.
-
-### Step 3 — Selecting Visualizations
-
-**Decision tree: data type → visualization:**
-
-| Data Type | Visualization | Tool | Example |
-|------------|-------------|------------|--------|
-| Comparing N values | **Bar chart** (vertical) | Chart.js | Competitor Threat Score |
-| Trend / dynamics | **Line chart** | Chart.js | Retention curves, monthly revenue |
-| Proportions / distribution | **Doughnut / Pie** | Chart.js | Market shares, budget distribution |
-| Multi-criteria comparison | **Radar chart** | Chart.js | Comparing competitors across 6+ axes |
-| 2D positioning | **Scatter chart** | Chart.js | Positioning map |
-| 2x2 matrix | **CSS Grid matrix** | HTML/CSS | SWOT, BCG, Ansoff, Impact×Effort |
-| Process / flow | **Flowchart** | Mermaid | Customer journey, pipeline |
-| Hierarchy / structure | **Mindmap** | Mermaid | Growth strategy, org chart |
-| 2D prioritization | **Quadrant chart** | Mermaid | Importance×Satisfaction, Impact×Effort |
-| Detailed comparison | **HTML table** | HTML/CSS | Feature matrix, scoring |
-| Key finding | **Callout box** | HTML/CSS | Critical finding, risk, recommendation |
-| Quote / verdict | **Pull quote** | HTML/CSS | Mediator's final verdict |
-| Single metric | **Score badge** | HTML/CSS | NPS, Threat Score, Opportunity Score |
-
-**Rules:**
-- Maximum **3 visualizations per page**.
-- Each visualization has a `<figcaption>` (caption) and `aria-label` (accessibility).
-- Framework skills determine the data structure → The Designer chooses the visual form.
-
-### Step 4 — Visual Hierarchy
-1. Define 4 levels of emphasis:
-
-   | Level | Elements | Placement | CSS Technique |
-   |---------|----------|------------|-----------|
-   | **Hero** | Verdict, main recommendation | Exec Summary, start of Main | Pull quote, large font (14-16pt), accent color |
-   | **Key Finding** | TOP-3 findings, critical metrics | Main section | Callout box, score badge, bold |
-   | **Supporting** | Data, frameworks, tables | Main + Appendices | Standard font, data tables |
-   | **Background** | Methodology, sources, details | Appendices | Small font (9-10pt), muted color |
-
-2. Severity indicators:
-
-   | Severity | Color | Usage |
-   |----------|------|---------------|
-   | Critical / Negative | `var(--danger)` red | Risks, threats, blockers |
-   | Warning / Attention | `var(--warning)` orange | Constraints, ⚠️ data |
-   | Positive / Opportunity | `var(--success)` green | Opportunities, strengths |
-   | Neutral / Info | `var(--accent)` blue | Context, neutral data |
-
-3. For each section — assign an emphasis level.
-
-### Step 5 — Color Palette
-1. If there is a brand book — adapt to corporate colors.
-2. If not — use the default professional palette:
-
-   **Default Palette (dark blue base):**
-
-   | Variable | HEX | Usage |
-   |----------|-----|---------------|
-   | `--primary` | `#1a1a2e` | Headings, table headers, main text |
-   | `--secondary` | `#16213e` | Subheadings, h3 |
-   | `--accent` | `#0f3460` | Links, callout info, neutral accents |
-   | `--highlight` | `#e94560` | Key metrics, hero elements |
-   | `--success` | `#2ecc71` | Positive indicators, opportunities |
-   | `--warning` | `#f39c12` | Warnings, ⚠️ data |
-   | `--danger` | `#e74c3c` | Risks, threats, critical |
-   | `--bg-light` | `#f5f5f5` | Callout background, alternating rows |
-   | `--border` | `#e0e0e0` | Table borders, dividers |
-   | `--text` | `#1a1a2e` | Main text |
-   | `--muted` | `#666666` | Captions, small text, sources |
-
-   **Chart.js palette (6 series):**
-   `['#1a1a2e', '#0f3460', '#e94560', '#2ecc71', '#f39c12', '#9b59b6']`
-
-3. Verify:
-   - WCAG AA contrast: text on background ≥ 4.5:1.
-   - Distinctiveness in B/W printing: every color is distinguishable in greyscale.
-   - Color blindness: do not rely only on red/green — add icons/text.
-
-### Step 6 — Executive Summary
-1. Write a draft based on the Mediator's conclusion.
-2. Structure:
-
-   ```markdown
-   ## Executive Summary
-
-   ### Context
-   [1-2 sentences: what was analyzed, for whom, in what scope]
-
-   ### Methodology
-   [1-2 sentences: which frameworks, how many sources, adversarial approach]
-
-   ### Key Findings
-
-   > "[Mediator's main verdict — pull quote]"
-
-   1. **[Finding 1]:** [description + key metric]
-   2. **[Finding 2]:** [description + key metric]
-   3. **[Finding 3]:** [description + key metric]
-
-   ### Recommendation
-   [1-2 sentences: what to do, what priority]
-
-   ### Risks
-   [1-2 sentences: main constraints and risks]
-
-   ### Next Steps
-   [Bulleted list: 3-5 specific actions]
-   ```
-
-3. Volume: **maximum 1.5 A4 pages**.
-4. Language: clear, jargon-free, adapted to the audience.
-5. Every finding is backed by a number or fact (not "the market is growing", but "TAM $4.2B, CAGR 18%").
-
-### Step 7 — Report Design Spec (final deliverable)
-1. Fill out the full specification (see output template).
-2. Attach:
-   - Content Inventory (step 1)
-   - Report Structure (step 2)
-   - Visualization Map (step 3)
-   - Color Palette (step 5)
-   - Executive Summary Draft (step 6)
-3. Hand off to the Layouter via `$handoff`.
-

-## Validation (Quality Gate)
-
-- [ ] Content Inventory is complete: every element from input artifacts is accounted for
-- [ ] Each numerical data point has an assigned visualization type (via decision tree)
-- [ ] Report structure is complete (Title → TOC → Summary → Main → Appendices)
-- [ ] Executive Summary ≤ 1.5 pages, contains: context, methodology, 3-5 findings with numbers, recommendation
-- [ ] Visual hierarchy is defined (4 levels of emphasis) and assigned to sections
-- [ ] Palette is defined (11 CSS variables), validated for WCAG AA contrast and B/W distinctiveness
-- [ ] Chart.js palette is defined (6 series)
-- [ ] Maximum 3 visualizations per page
-- [ ] Report Design Spec is fully populated (structure + visualization map + palette + exec summary)
-- [ ] Brief compliance: the report answers the questions from the Interview Brief
-- [ ] Appendix D (Sources) is included / excluded intentionally
-- [ ] Each visualization has a caption (`figcaption`) and `aria-label`
-
-## Handoff
-The output of `$report-design` is an input for:
-- **`$html-pdf-report`** (Layouter) — primary recipient: implementation in HTML/CSS/Chart.js/Mermaid.
-- **`$gates` (DS-01)** — checking the readiness of the design spec.
-- **`$board`** — updating the status of DS-01.
-
-Handoff format: Report Design Spec (structure + content inventory + visualization map + color palette + executive summary draft). When transferring — use `$handoff`.
-
-## Anti-patterns
-
-| Error | Why it's bad | How to do it right |
-|--------|-------------|---------------|
-| Design without inventory | Empty sections, unnecessary charts | Go through all artifacts first, create an inventory |
-| One chart type for everything | Uninformative, does not fit the data type | Decision tree: data type → visualization |
-| Executive summary > 2 pages | Executives will not read it | Maximum 1.5 pages, facts with numbers |
-| Palette for screen only | Gray and indistinguishable in standard PDF | WCAG AA, B/W distinctiveness, color blindness test |
-| Cluttered pages | A mess of charts | Maximum 3 visualizations per page |
-| Changing findings | Chain of custody violation: Designer is not an analyst | Format, do not edit the content |
-| Findings without numbers | "Market is growing" — is not a finding | Every finding = specific metric: "TAM $4.2B, CAGR 18%" |
-| Palette without HEX codes | Layouter cannot implement "dark blue base" | 11 CSS variables with specific HEX |

+   | Neutral / Info | `var(--accent)` blue | Context, neutral data |
+
+3. For each section — assign an emphasis level.
+
+### Step 5 — Color Palette
+1. If there is a brand book — adapt to corporate colors.
+2. If not — use the default professional palette:
+
+   **Default Palette (dark blue base):**
+
+   | Variable | HEX | Usage |
+   |----------|-----|---------------|
+   | `--primary` | `#1a1a2e` | Headings, table headers, main text |
+   | `--secondary` | `#16213e` | Subheadings, h3 |
+   | `--accent` | `#0f3460` | Links, callout info, neutral accents |
+   | `--highlight` | `#e94560` | Key metrics, hero elements |
+   | `--success` | `#2ecc71` | Positive indicators, opportunities |
+   | `--warning` | `#f39c12` | Warnings, ⚠️ data |
+   | `--danger` | `#e74c3c` | Risks, threats, critical |
+   | `--bg-light` | `#f5f5f5` | Callout background, alternating rows |
+   | `--border` | `#e0e0e0` | Table borders, dividers |
+   | `--text` | `#1a1a2e` | Main text |
+   | `--muted` | `#666666` | Captions, small text, sources |
+
+   **Chart.js palette (6 series):**
+   `['#1a1a2e', '#0f3460', '#e94560', '#2ecc71', '#f39c12', '#9b59b6']`
+
+3. Verify:
+   - WCAG AA contrast: text on background ≥ 4.5:1.
+   - Distinctiveness in B/W printing: every color is distinguishable in greyscale.
+   - Color blindness: do not rely only on red/green — add icons/text.
+
+### Step 6 — Executive Summary
+1. Write a draft based on the Mediator's conclusion.
+2. Structure:
+
+   ```markdown
+   ## Executive Summary
+
+   ### Context
+   [1-2 sentences: what was analyzed, for whom, in what scope]
+
+   ### Methodology
+   [1-2 sentences: which frameworks, how many sources, adversarial approach]
+
+   ### Key Findings
+
+   > "[Mediator's main verdict — pull quote]"
+
+   1. **[Finding 1]:** [description + key metric]
+   2. **[Finding 2]:** [description + key metric]
+   3. **[Finding 3]:** [description + key metric]
+
+   ### Recommendation
+   [1-2 sentences: what to do, what priority]
+
+   ### Risks
+   [1-2 sentences: main constraints and risks]
+
+   ### Next Steps
+   [Bulleted list: 3-5 specific actions]
+   ```
+
+3. Volume: **maximum 1.5 A4 pages**.
+4. Language: clear, jargon-free, adapted to the audience.
+5. Every finding is backed by a number or fact (not "the market is growing", but "TAM $4.2B, CAGR 18%").
+
+### Step 7 — Report Design Spec (final deliverable)
+1. Fill out the full specification (see output template).
+2. Attach:
+   - Content Inventory (step 1)
+   - Report Structure (step 2)
+   - Visualization Map (step 3)
+   - Color Palette (step 5)
+   - Executive Summary Draft (step 6)
+3. Hand off to the Layouter via `$handoff`.

+
+## Handoff
+The output of `$report-design` is an input for:
+- **`$html-pdf-report`** (Layouter) — primary recipient: implementation in HTML/CSS/Chart.js/Mermaid.
+- **`$gates` (DS-01)** — checking the readiness of the design spec.
+- **`$board`** — updating the status of DS-01.
+
+Handoff format: Report Design Spec (structure + content inventory + visualization map + color palette + executive summary draft). When transferring — use `$handoff`.
+
+## Anti-patterns
+
+| Error | Why it's bad | How to do it right |
+|--------|-------------|---------------|
+| Design without inventory | Empty sections, unnecessary charts | Go through all artifacts first, create an inventory |
+| One chart type for everything | Uninformative, does not fit the data type | Decision tree: data type → visualization |
+| Executive summary > 2 pages | Executives will not read it | Maximum 1.5 pages, facts with numbers |
+| Palette for screen only | Gray and indistinguishable in standard PDF | WCAG AA, B/W distinctiveness, color blindness test |
+| Cluttered pages | A mess of charts | Maximum 3 visualizations per page |
+| Changing findings | Chain of custody violation: Designer is not an analyst | Format, do not edit the content |
+| Findings without numbers | "Market is growing" — is not a finding | Every finding = specific metric: "TAM $4.2B, CAGR 18%" |
+| Palette without HEX codes | Layouter cannot implement "dark blue base" | 11 CSS variables with specific HEX |
