+
+## Your Design Workflow
+
+### Scenario 1: New Project Kickoff
+
+**Traditional Approach:**
+```
+Week 1: Research competitors, document findings
+Week 2: Create mood boards, color palettes
+Week 3: Define typography, spacing
+Week 4: Build component library in Figma
+→ Total: 1 month
+```
+
+**With UX Master:**
+```
+Day 1: Extract reference site (5 min)
+Day 1: Import to Figma (5 min)
+Day 1-2: Customize and iterate (2 days)
+→ Total: 2 days
+```
+
+**Time saved: 3.5 weeks (87%)**
+
+**How to do it:**
+```bash
+# Extract from 3 competitor sites
+python scripts/wizard.py --url https://competitor1.com --name "Comp1"
+python scripts/wizard.py --url https://competitor2.com --name "Comp2"
+python scripts/wizard.py --url https://competitor3.com --name "Comp3"
+
+# Compare color palettes
+# Look at screenshots
+# Pick best elements
+# Customize in Figma
+```
+
+---
+
+### Scenario 2: Design System Maintenance
+
+**Problem**: Design drift across product
+
+**Solution**:
+```bash
+# Extract current state
+python scripts/wizard.py \
+  --url https://my-product.com \
+  --name "CurrentState" \
+  --crawl --max-pages 10
+
+# Compare with documented system
+python scripts/figma_bridge.py compare \
+  --harvester output/CurrentState/design-system.json \
+  --figma documented-system.json
+
+# Get diff report showing:
+# - Colors that drifted
+# - Typography inconsistencies
+# - Missing components
+```
+
+---
+
+### Scenario 3: Client Audit
+
+**Problem**: New client has inconsistent legacy app
+
+**Solution**:
+```bash
+# Extract and document current state
+python scripts/wizard.py \
+  --url https://client-legacy-app.com \
+  --name "ClientAudit" \
+  --crawl --max-pages 20
+
+# Generate audit report
+cat > audit-report.md << 'EOF'
+# Design System Audit: Client App
+
+## Current State
+Extracted from: https://client-legacy-app.com
+Date: $(date)
+
+## Color Analysis
+$(cat output/ClientAudit/design-system.json | jq '.tokens.color')
+
+## Typography
+$(cat output/ClientAudit/design-system.json | jq '.tokens.typography')
+
+## Inconsistencies Found
+$(python scripts/figma_bridge.py compare ...)
+
+## Recommendations
+1. Standardize color palette
+2. Unify typography scale
+3. Document spacing system
+4. Create component library
+EOF
+```
+
+**Deliver to client:**
+- ✅ Visual screenshots
+- ✅ Color palette analysis
+- ✅ Typography audit
+- ✅ Component inventory
+- ✅ Migration roadmap

+
+---
+
+### Working with Tokens
+
+**Token Structure in Figma:**
+
+```
+MyProject (Token Set)
+├── color/
+│   ├── primary → #0064FA
+│   ├── success → #10B981
+│   └── neutral-500 → #6B7280
+├── spacing/
+│   ├── tight → 8px
+│   ├── base → 16px
+│   └── loose → 24px
+└── typography/
+    ├── font-family → Inter
+    └── font-size-regular → 14px
+```
+
+**Best Practices:**
+- ✅ Use semantic names (primary, not blue)
+- ✅ Group by category (color/, spacing/)
+- ✅ Document with descriptions
+- ✅ Reference, don't hardcode
+

+
+## Google Stitch AI
+
+### Creating Stitch Prompts
+
+**Basic prompt generation:**
+```bash
+python scripts/stitch_integration.py prompt \
+  --input output/MyProject/design-system.json \
+  --screen dashboard \
+  --output stitch-prompt.txt
+```
+
+**Output example:**
+```markdown
+Create a dashboard screen with the following design system:
+
+## Color Palette
+- Primary: #0064FA (Use for main CTAs)
+- Success: #10B981 (Positive actions)
+- Warning: #F59E0B (Caution states)
+- Danger: #EF4444 (Destructive actions)
+
+## Typography
+- Font: Inter, sans-serif
+- Base: 14px
+- Headings: Bold, 1.2 line-height
+
+## Layout Requirements
+Design a dashboard with:
+1. Header with navigation
+2. Metrics cards (4 columns)
+3. Chart section
+4. Activity feed
+5. Quick actions
+
+## Style Guidelines
+- 8px spacing grid
+- 6px border radius for inputs
+- 12px border radius for cards
+- Subtle shadows (elevated cards)
+```
+
+---
+
+### Batch Screen Generation
+
+**Generate multiple screens at once:**
+```bash
+python scripts/stitch_integration.py batch \
+  --input output/MyProject/design-system.json \
+  --screens dashboard settings profile checkout \
+  --output batch-spec.json
+```
+
+**Result:**
+```json
+{
+  "screens": [
+    {
+      "name": "dashboard",
+      "description": "Data overview...",
+      "prompt": "Create dashboard..."
+    },
+    {
+      "name": "settings",
+      "description": "User preferences...",
+      "prompt": "Create settings..."
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+**Use in Stitch:**
+- Copy each prompt
+- Generate screens
+- Maintain consistency across all screens
+
+---
+
+### DESIGN.md for Reference
+
+**Generate comprehensive design doc:**
+```bash
+python scripts/stitch_integration.py design-md \
+  --input output/MyProject/design-system.json \
+  --project "MyProject" \
+  --output DESIGN.md
+```
+
+**Use as:**
+- ✅ Project reference in Stitch
+- ✅ Team documentation
+- ✅ Client deliverable
+- ✅ Design handoff
+

+  --name "Dashboard"
+
+python scripts/wizard.py \
+  --url https://app.com/settings \
+  --name "Settings"
+
+# Compare
+python scripts/figma_bridge.py compare \
+  --harvester output/Dashboard/design-system.json \
+  --figma output/Settings/figma-tokens.json
+```
+
+**Report shows:**
+```
+Consistency Analysis:
+
+Colors:
+  ✓ Primary matches: #0064FA
+  ✓ Success matches: #10B981
+  ⚠ Warning differs: #F59E0B vs #D97706
+  
+Typography:
+  ✓ Font family matches
+  ⚠ Body size differs: 14px vs 13px
+  
+Spacing:
+  ✓ Grid system consistent
+  
+Recommendations:
+  1. Standardize warning color
+  2. Fix body font size to 14px
+```
+

+
+### Color Psychology Analysis
+
+```bash
+# Extract with psychology analysis
+python scripts/wizard.py --url https://example.com
+
+# Check output
+python -c "
+import json
+with open('output/example/design-system.json') as f:
+    data = json.load(f)
+    primary = data['tokens']['color']['primary']
+    if isinstance(primary, dict):
+        print('Primary:', primary['base'])
+        print('Psychology:', primary.get('psychology', {}))
+"
+```
+
+**Output:**
+```json
+{
+  "base": "#0064FA",
+  "psychology": {
+    "h": 220,
+    "emotion": "professional, reliable, calm",
+    "useCase": "primary actions, corporate, links"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Use for:**
+- ✅ Brand alignment checks
+- ✅ Client presentations
+- ✅ Color strategy
+- ✅ Accessibility reviews
+

+
+## Advanced Techniques
+
+### Creating Mood Boards
+
+```bash
+# Extract from multiple inspirational sites
+sites=("https://site1.com" "https://site2.com" "https://site3.com")
+
+for url in "${sites[@]}"; do
+  name=$(echo $url | cut -d'/' -f3)
+  python scripts/wizard.py --url $url --name $name
+done
+
+# Compare color palettes
+echo "## Color Palette Comparison" > mood-board.md
+for dir in output/*/; do
+  echo "### $(basename $dir)" >> mood-board.md
+  cat "$dir/design-system.json" | jq '.tokens.color.primary' >> mood-board.md
+  echo "![Screenshot]($dir/screenshot-desktop.png)" >> mood-board.md
+done
+```
+
+---
+
+### Component Library Planning
+
+```bash
+# Extract and inventory components
+python scripts/wizard.py --url https://reference.com
+
+# Analyze components
+python -c "
+import json
+with open('output/reference/design-system.json') as f:
+    data = json.load(f)
+    components = data.get('components', {}).get('blueprints', {})
+    
+print('Detected Components:')
+for name, info in components.items():
+    count = info.get('count', 0)
+    variants = list(info.get('variants', {}).keys())
+    print(f'  • {name}: {count} instances, variants: {variants}')
+"
+```
+
+**Output:**
+```
+Detected Components:
+  • button: 15 instances, variants: ['primary', 'secondary', 'outline']
+  • card: 8 instances, variants: ['default', 'elevated']
+  • input: 12 instances, variants: ['default', 'error']
+  • table: 3 instances, variants: ['default']
+```
+
+**Plan your library:**
+- Prioritize high-use components
+- Document variant needs
+- Plan states (hover, active, disabled)
+
+---
+
+### Design Token Governance
+
+**Version control your tokens:**
+
+```bash
+# Extract and version
+date=$(date +%Y-%m-%d)
+python scripts/wizard.py \
+  --url https://my-app.com \
+  --name "MyApp-$date"
+
+# Commit to git
+git add output/MyApp-$date/
+git commit -m "Design system snapshot $date"
+
+# Track changes over time
+git log --oneline output/MyApp-*/
+```
+
