+### Minimal Surface Alternatives【Required when introducing maintenance-surface elements】
+
+Applies to each maintenance-surface-bearing element the design introduces. The goal is to select the smallest design surface that satisfies the same current requirements. Use the canonical in-scope, out-of-scope, precedence, and subjective-only rationale definitions from coding-rules skill, "Minimum Surface Terms".
+
+Examples: database columns, stored records, cache entries, config values, local files, queue payloads, client storage, public-contract fields, cross-boundary fields/props, behavioral modes/flags/variants, reusable abstractions, extracted services, shared utilities, or component splits.
+
+Execute the 5 steps below for each in-scope element, and record the result in the Design Doc's "Minimal Surface Alternatives" section. If no in-scope elements are introduced, mark the section as N/A with rationale.
+
+1. **Fix Requirements**
+   - List the current user-visible requirements / ACs / accepted technical constraints (audit, data integrity, compatibility, security, performance, accessibility) this element would serve, citing AC IDs or constraint IDs from the Design Doc.
+   - Eligibility rule: only requirements / constraints that are part of the current Design Doc's adopted scope qualify. Future-only, speculative, or "users might want" requirements are out of scope for this list.
+
+2. **Diverge** (generate alternatives)
+   - Produce at least 2 alternative realizations that cover the same fixed requirements.
+   - At least one alternative must be subtractive. Subtractive alternatives include deriving from existing data, computing on demand, keeping responsibility at the caller, reusing existing structures, or not introducing new state / mode / abstraction.
+
+3. **Compare** (record alternatives in a table)
+
+   | Alternative | Current requirements covered (AC or constraint IDs) | New state introduced (count) | New concept / mode / flag / prop / variant (count) | Crosses component boundary (yes/no) | Breaking change or migration required (yes/no) | Subjective cost notes |
+   |-------------|------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------|------------------------------------|--------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------|-----------------------|
+
+   Resolution priority (later columns are tiebreakers when earlier are equal): (1) new persistent state (lower=smaller); (2) crosses component boundary (no=smaller); (3) new concepts/modes/flags/props/variants (lower=smaller); (4) breaking change or migration (no=smaller); (5) subjective cost notes.
+
+4. **Converge** (select)
+   - Select the alternative with the smallest surface that covers all fixed requirements, applying the resolution priority above.
+   - When the selected alternative is not the smallest, name the current requirement from step 1 that smaller alternatives fail to satisfy.
+   - Subjective-only rationales from coding-rules belong in the Subjective cost notes column as tiebreakers only.
+
+5. **Record Rejected Alternatives**
+   - For each rejected alternative, record 1-2 lines: what it was, why rejected. Include this in the Design Doc to prevent re-proposal in later iterations.

+- **requirements**: Original user requirements text
+- **ui_spec_path**: Existing UI Spec path when available
+- **prototype_path**: Prototype code path when provided by the workflow
+- **target_paths**: Explicit frontend file or directory paths to prioritize
+- **focus_areas**: UI areas for deeper analysis
+- **target_components**: Component names to prioritize
+
+## Operating Posture
+
+Produce evidence and structured facts. Keep application files unchanged. Return a final JSON object as the last message.
+
+Codex custom agents inherit parent `mcp_servers` when this file omits `mcp_servers`. Use available MCP tools, URLs, and files declared in `docs/project-context/external-resources.md` when they are relevant to the requested UI scope.
+
+## Execution Steps
+
+### Step 1: External Resource Discovery
+
+1. Read `docs/project-context/external-resources.md` when present.
+2. Record frontend resources with actionable statuses: `present`, `existing-implementation`, `existing-package`, `project-conventions`, and `manual-confirmation`.
+3. Record `Additional Resources` entries whose labels, descriptions, or notes relate to the requested UI scope.
+4. For absent project context or frontend entries, set `externalResources.status` to `not_recorded` and continue with codebase analysis.
+
+### Step 2: External Resource Resolution
+
+For each relevant resource, resolve the subset implied by `requirement_analysis.affectedFiles`, `target_paths`, `focus_areas`, `target_components`, and `prototype_path`:
+
+| Status / Access Method | Handling |
+|------------------------|----------|
+| `present` + MCP server | Use the available MCP tool matching the server and requested resource |
+| `present` + public URL | Use available web fetch or browser tooling |
+| `present` + file path | Read the file |
+| `present` + command | Inspect with the command when it is safe and relevant |
+| `existing-implementation` | Treat existing UI code as the source of truth and inspect matching files |
+| `existing-package` | Inspect package usage, imports, local docs, and story files |
+| `project-conventions` | Infer conventions from local code, config, and docs |
+| `manual-confirmation` | Record the verification path for the parent session |
+
+For large design files, component catalogs, or prototype directories, resolve only the relevant subset. Record unavailable resources with the attempted access method and reason.
+
+When `prototype_path` is provided, read it as analysis input. Asset placement under `docs/ui-spec/assets/` belongs to the UI Spec creation phase.
+
+### Step 3: UI Surface Discovery in Code
+
+1. Identify UI-rendering files from `requirement_analysis.affectedFiles` and inferred frontend paths.
+2. Build a component-file index using project-appropriate glob patterns.
+3. Record UI conventions: component extensions, style strategy, story tooling, and UI test runner.
+
+### Step 4: Component Structure Extraction
+
+For each component file in scope, read the file and extract:
+- component name and export form
+- props interface or parameter shape
+- top-level JSX element and immediate children
+- conditional rendering branches
+- imported child components and call sites
+- source-order DOM sequence for layout siblings
+
+### Step 5: Props and Variant Patterns
+
+For each relevant call site:
+- record literal and computed props
+- group variant, size, color, and state combinations
+- identify canonical usage patterns and outliers with file:line evidence
+
+### Step 6: CSS Layout State
+
+For each style source in scope:
+- class naming convention
+- layout primitives: display, direction, gap, wrap, logical properties
+- state selectors and responsive breakpoints
+
+### Step 7: State x Display Matrix
+
+For each component in scope:
+- infer states from props, hooks, branches, fetch flags, and route context
+- record rendered output for each state
+- record expected states that lack an observed code path as `unsupportedStates`
+
+### Step 8: Display Conditions
+
+Record feature flags, role or permission gates, route context, tenant or region gates, and page-context modifiers that affect rendered UI.
+
+### Step 9: i18n and Generated Artifacts
+
+When localized strings or generated UI artifacts appear in scope, record formats, naming conventions, generator commands, output paths, and consumers.
+
+### Step 10: Accessibility Attributes
+
+Record roles, accessible names, ARIA attributes, keyboard handling, focus styling, and accessibility test coverage in scope.
+
+### Step 11: Candidate Write Set
+
+Produce `candidateWriteSet[]` with likely modified files:
+- `path`
+- `reasonRef`
+- `confidence`: `high`, `medium`, or `low`
