 You are not done when it is clean and correct. You are done when a senior product designer at Linear, Stripe, or Supabase would ship it: surfaces read as real materials (depth, light, layering), color carries a story and a ramp, type has personality, and motion has intent. **Correct-but-flat is a failure, not a finish.** The most common way this skill fails is effort drain: the build, lint, file-size, and test gates eat all the attention and the surface ships at the floor. Spend on the surface like it is the deliverable, because for an expressive brief it is. When you render and find only bug-level issues, you are not done — you are at the start of the part that separates good from generic.
 
-Two things ship flat most often, and both read as "clean but generic": the **hero's focal object** and the **atmosphere**. Render the focal object as a real, lit, dimensional thing — a generated bitmap (imagegen) for a product/brand/object hero, or CSS/SVG art that carries light, shadow, gradient, and depth. Flat geometric primitives (plain circles and rounded rects) for a brand hero are the flat trap. Give the background depth too — gradient, glow, layered light, an atmospheric band, or a real image — not one flat fill. Glass is only one material: a dark glossy brand wants tint+blur+rim+sheen+glow, a bright playful brand wants gradient fills+soft depth shadows+a lit focal object.

+- **Don't mark state with a coloured accent border.** `border-l-2 border-primary` on the selected row, a primary outline on the focused card — on a rounded surface that is the generic AI tell. State is ink-alpha washes, a glyph for selection, tonal layering for focus; `focus-visible` rings are the only coloured edge. Includes pre-existing instances on surfaces you touch.
 - **Don't ignore the user's named brand.** If they say "Linear-style" and you build something that doesn't match Linear's actual aesthetic (purple, ultra-tight spacing, mono accents, etc.), you have failed the routing.
 - **Don't apply a Layer B brand verbatim if the project is not that brand.** The DESIGN.md captures *inspiration* — extract the tokens (palette, type scale, component patterns) and apply them to the project's own content. Do not copy logos or trademarked imagery.
 - **Don't use imagegen skills to write code.** They are explicitly image-only. The agent has been observed trying to "describe" the image as React code — that is the wrong skill, switch to `image-to-code-skill.md` instead.

+# Ambience and Typographic Motion — react-bits-Anchored
+
+`interaction-skill.md` owns how controls respond: buttons, tabs, menus, modals, toasts. This file owns the other motion quadrant — the hero's atmosphere, the animated background, the way headline copy arrives, the scroll-driven chapter, the material feel of a card under the pointer. `design/README.md` names the hero focal object and the atmosphere as the two things that most often ship flat; this is where their mechanisms come from. It stacks on top of any Layer A style skill and any Layer B brand exactly like `interaction-skill.md` and `layout-skill.md`, and adds ZERO visual direction: color, type, and material still come from the style skill and `DESIGN.md`.
+
+Load this whenever the deliverable includes: an animated, shader, particle, or grid background; a hero that must feel atmospheric or dimensional; text that reveals, splits, blurs, shimmers, types, counts, scrambles, or loops; scroll-triggered entrances or pinned chapters; spotlight / tilt / glare / glow card surfaces; or the user says "make the hero stunning", "add a living background", "animate the headline", "make it feel premium and alive".
+
+## 1. The reference contract — never design ambience from memory
+
+[react-bits](https://reactbits.dev) is the ambience benchmark: 170+ open-source React components across four catalog groups (Text Animations, Animations, Backgrounds, Components), each shipped in four variants (JS or TS, CSS or Tailwind) with a public shadcn-compatible registry. Its quality is uneven — most components ship demo colors, and only a minority carry a reduced-motion path — so it is a source of mechanisms, not a source of finished primitives. Improvising a background or a text reveal produces slop the same way improvised styling does; reaching for a 3D engine because the brief said "stunning" is the expensive version of the same mistake. Consult first, extract, then retrofit.
+
+The contract, in order:
+
+1. **Find the nearest pattern** in the routing map (section 3). The live catalog is `https://reactbits.dev/llms.txt`; refresh from it when a pattern seems missing — the catalog grows monthly.
+2. **Read its real source** through the recipe (section 2). Read the `TS-TW` variant; all four variants share one behavior.
+3. **Extract the mechanism**, not the pixels: the render loop and what drives it (pointer, scroll, time), the shader uniforms or split strategy, what starts and stops the loop, how it sizes to its container, and what it depends on.
+4. **Run the retrofit checklist** (section 4). Assume the reduced-motion path, the off-screen pause, and the accessibility contract are missing until you have read them in the source.
+5. **Adapt to the project.** Colors, durations, easings, and intensities come from the project `DESIGN.md`; react-bits defaults are demo values. A value that is not in `DESIGN.md` gets added there first, then used.
+6. **No matching pattern?** Compose from the nearest two, or state explicitly that the effect is novel and record its mechanism in `DESIGN.md` before building it.
+
+## 2. Consultation recipe (curl-only, verified 2026-09)
+
+All endpoints are public, no auth, no browser, no MCP client required:
+
+```bash
+curl -s https://reactbits.dev/llms.txt                       # full catalog: one line per component + CLI name
+curl -s https://reactbits.dev/r/registry.json                # registry index (JSON): every <Name>-<LANG>-<STYLE> item
+curl -s https://reactbits.dev/r/<Name>-TS-TW.json            # one component: files[].content is the source, dependencies[] the pins
+curl -s https://reactbits.dev/r/<Name>-TS-TW.json | jq -r '.files[].content'      # the thing to read
+curl -s https://reactbits.dev/r/<Name>-TS-TW.json | jq -c '.dependencies'         # e.g. ["motion@^12"] or ["ogl@^1"]
+```
+
+`<Name>` is the PascalCase CLI name from `llms.txt` (`BlurText`, `Aurora`, `SpotlightCard`). `<LANG>` is `JS` or `TS`; `<STYLE>` is `CSS` or `TW`; CSS variants ship a second `files[]` entry for the stylesheet. Read source to learn. Do not vendor react-bits files into reference docs, do not paste component bodies into `DESIGN.md`, and do not `npx shadcn add` a component when only its mechanism is needed (section 5).
+
+## 3. Routing map — by intent, not by catalog
+
+Each row names the react-bits component to read, its animation engine (`none` = plain React + canvas/CSS; a `none` row may still pull a non-animation package such as an icon set, so read `dependencies[]` before importing), and whether the source already ships a `prefers-reduced-motion` path (`RM`). Rows without `RM` need the full retrofit; rows with it still need the rest of the checklist.

+### Cursor effects — quarantined
+
+`BlobCursor`, `SplashCursor`, `GhostCursor`, `SwarmCursor`, `TargetCursor`, `Crosshair`, `GlowCursor`, `CursorGrid`, `ImageTrail`, `PixelTrail`, `Ribbons`, `MetaBalls` replace or trail the pointer. They are decoration by definition: load them only when `gpt-tasteskill.md` is the routed style skill AND the brief names a cursor effect, never on product or application surfaces, never on touch-first pages, and never by hiding the native cursor. Several are 400-1400 lines and pull `ogl` or `three`; the cost is rarely justified.
+
+## 4. Retrofit checklist — mandatory for every borrowed mechanism
+
+react-bits optimizes for the demo page. The project optimizes for `perfection/README.md`: Lighthouse 100 with the effect intact. Walk every item; a skipped item is a defect, not a shortcut.
+
+- **Reduced motion is a rendered state, not a skip.** `matchMedia("(prefers-reduced-motion: reduce)")` → paint one static frame of a background and never start its loop (the `Plasma` model); render text reveals at their final state; keep hover surfaces static. Fewer than one in six catalog components ship this — assume it is missing.
+- **Off-screen and hidden-tab pause.** Start the render loop from an `IntersectionObserver`, stop it when the element leaves the viewport, and stop it on `visibilitychange` (`ShapeGrid`, `Plasma`, `Grainient` do this). A background that animates below the fold is wasted main-thread time.
+- **No scroll listeners.** `window.addEventListener("scroll")` is banned by the style skills; a few catalog components still use it. Replace with `IntersectionObserver` thresholds, CSS scroll-driven animations, or a ScrollTrigger scrub.
+- **Compositor-only properties.** `transform`, `opacity`, `filter`. Audit the source for `transition: all` and for tweens on `width`, `height`, `top`, `left` — several catalog components animate layout; rewrite those to transforms or measured-height primitives before use.
+- **Pointer work never blocks input.** Pointer listeners are passive and rAF-throttled; effect layers carry `pointer-events: none`; the interactive element underneath keeps its own focus and hover states.
+- **Teardown on unmount.** `cancelAnimationFrame`, remove every listener and observer, dispose WebGL resources (`renderer.dispose()`, or `gl.getExtension("WEBGL_lose_context")?.loseContext()`). Leaked contexts survive client-side route changes and the browser caps them.
+- **Sizing and pixel density.** `ResizeObserver` on the container, `devicePixelRatio` capped at 2, and a mobile `dpr` cap so a phone does not render a 4x canvas.
+- **Accessibility contract.** Decorative canvases and effect layers get `aria-hidden="true"`. Split or scrambled text keeps the full string readable: one `aria-label` on the wrapper, or a visually hidden copy, so screen readers never hear one glyph at a time.
+- **Tokens, not demo colors.** Every color, gradient stop, and intensity traces to a `DESIGN.md` token. The catalog's violet, pink, and cyan defaults are placeholders.
+- **Budget and load order.** WebGL and GSAP-heavy components load lazily (`React.lazy` / `next/dynamic`) after the LCP element; the hero's LCP is the headline or the poster image, never the canvas. Ship a static poster fallback behind a WebGL capability check. Record the chunk size in `DESIGN.md` accepted debt.
+- **Motion serves meaning.** The shared axiom still applies: a background is the hero's one signature moment; a text reveal marks arrival; a card effect signals affordance. Two atmospheres on one page, or a reveal on every paragraph, is slop even when each piece is well built.
+
+## 5. Dependency rules
+
+Read `dependencies[]` from the registry item before reading the source. In order of preference:
+
+1. **Zero-dependency components first.** Roughly a quarter of the catalog is plain React plus canvas or CSS; prefer these for anything that is not the hero's signature moment.
+2. **An engine the project already has.** Check `package.json`. If Motion is present, prefer `motion` rows; if GSAP is present, prefer `gsap` rows. Never introduce a second animation engine for one effect.
+3. **`ogl` and `three` are a `DESIGN.md` decision.** Either one is justified only for the hero atmosphere, with the bundle cost, the poster fallback, and the WebGL detection recorded in `DESIGN.md` before the import. `three` (plus `@react-three/*`) is the heaviest option in the catalog; do not add it for a background when an `ogl` or canvas row carries the same material.
+4. **Installing is the exception, not the path.** `npx shadcn@latest add https://reactbits.dev/r/<Name>-TS-TW.json` (or the `jsrepo` equivalent) copies the ONE variant named in the URL into the project, not all four. Do it only when the project already consumes shadcn-style registries, `DESIGN.md` records the component as a primitive, and the retrofit checklist is then applied to the copied file — the copy is a starting point, never a finished primitive.
+
+## 6. DESIGN.md integration
+
+`design-system-architecture.md` defines a Motion & Interaction section in every `DESIGN.md`. This file feeds it:
+
+- The hero atmosphere is named once, with its mechanism source (catalog component), engine, reduced-motion state, and pause behavior.
+- Extracted durations, easings, stagger steps, and intensities land as named tokens before components use them.
+- Each shipped reveal or surface effect traces to a routing-map row (or a recorded novel mechanism) plus its reduced-motion behavior and its accessibility contract.
+- Any lazy-loaded engine chunk is recorded under accepted debt with its measured size.

Adds zero visual taste; the style skill and DESIGN.md still own color, type, and spacing."
+---
+
+# Paged Media
+
+Screen layout has one viewport and infinite scroll. Paged media has a fixed page box and a fragmentation engine that cuts your content into pages whether or not you told it where. This file owns that cut. It stacks on top of a Layer A style skill and adds ZERO visual direction - color, type, radius, and spacing still come from the style skill and `DESIGN.md`.
+
+Load this when the deliverable is a PDF report, a print stylesheet, a `chrome --headless --print-to-pdf` pipeline, a WeasyPrint render, or any HTML meant to land on paper.
+
+## 1. The page box comes first
+
+Declare the page before styling anything inside it. `@page { size: A4; margin: 2cm; }` sets the sheet and the content area; every measurement downstream is relative to what survives those margins.
+
+- `@page:first` targets the cover alone. A full-bleed cover is `@page:first { margin: 0 }`, which also suppresses the running header and footer on page one.
+- Running headers and footers live in the page margin boxes. In headless Chrome they come from `headerTemplate` / `footerTemplate` on `Page.printToPDF`, rendered into the margins that `@page` declared - not from a fixed-position element in the body.
+- Pass `preferCSSPageSize: true` when printing through CDP so your `@page` rule wins over the caller's paper defaults. Without it, the size you declared and the size you get can differ.
+- Body content flows through the page area. An element with a viewport unit (`100vh`) or a fixed position does not mean on paper what it means on screen; size page furniture in `mm` or `pt`.
+
+## 2. Fragmentation vocabulary
+
+Three properties decide every cut. Modern names first; the `page-break-*` aliases still work and appear in older pipelines.
+
+| Property | Use it for |
+|---|---|
+| `break-before: page` | Start a section on a fresh page. |
+| `break-after: avoid` | Keep a heading with the block that follows it (keep-with-next). |
+| `break-inside: avoid` | Forbid a cut *through* one block: a table, a figure, a callout, a code listing. |
+| `orphans` / `widows` | Minimum lines of a paragraph left at a page foot / carried to the next page. Set both to at least 2; 3 reads better in dense body copy. |
+
+`break-inside: avoid` on a wrapper is what actually protects a table - apply it to the element that owns the whole exhibit, not to the `<table>` alone, or the caption and the rules can still separate from the rows.
+
+## 3. The atomic set - keep it small on purpose
+
+Mark as atomic only what is unreadable when split: a data table with its caption, a figure with its `figcaption`, a callout, a short code listing. Everything else - ordinary paragraphs, long prose lists, multi-page tables - should be allowed to break, because a block that cannot break and cannot fit is a defect generator, not a protected exhibit.
+
+A block taller than the page area gets split regardless of what you declared. `avoid` is a request the engine honors only when honoring it is possible.
+
+## 4. The keep-together side effect - the defect this file exists to prevent
+
+This is the failure that looks like a bug in your CSS but is your CSS working exactly as written.
+
+A block carrying `break-inside: avoid` reaches the bottom of a page with too little room left. The engine cannot split it, so it moves the WHOLE block to the next page. That is correct. The damage appears when the block is the LAST content of its section and the next section carries `break-before: page`: nothing can flow up to backfill the gap it left, and nothing can flow down beside it. You ship one page with a short box at the top and a column of whitespace under it, and one page before it with an unexplained gap at the foot.
+
+Nothing in the cascade detects this. Both rules are locally correct; the artifact is their interaction with where the text happened to land.
+
+How to prevent and repair it:
+
+- **Shrink the atomic set.** Every unnecessary `break-inside: avoid` is one more block that can be stranded. Protect exhibits, not paragraphs.
+- **Do not wrap a lead-in with its block** unless the pair reliably fits together. Binding more content into one unbreakable unit makes stranding more likely, not less.
+- **Reconsider the forced section break.** `break-before: page` on every section is a strong default for a report and a poor one for short trailing sections; allowing a brief section to continue on the current page removes the trap entirely.
+- **Editorial repair is legitimate.** Shortening the block by a line, or moving it a paragraph earlier, is a real fix - and often the correct one for a hand-tuned deliverable.
+- **Detect it by ink, not by intent.** A page whose content coverage falls far below its neighbors is the signal. Ranking pages by rendered coverage finds stranded blocks faster than reading CSS does.
+
+## 5. What the engine actually honors
+
+Fragmentation support is uneven, and reading the stylesheet will not tell you what happened.
+
+- `break-inside: avoid` inside flex, grid, and multi-column containers is partially implemented across engines; a constraint that holds in normal flow can be dropped inside a nested fragmentation context.
+- Transformed, absolutely positioned, and `overflow`-clipped subtrees fragment differently from ordinary blocks, and sometimes not at all.
+- Background colors and images on split blocks may or may not repaint on the continuation page. Chrome needs `printBackground: true` before any of it renders.
+
+Treat every fragmentation rule as a hypothesis until you have seen the rendered page.
+
+## 6. Verify by rendering every page
+
+A paged deliverable is verified by looking at its pages. Render them and inspect each one:
+
+```bash
+pdftoppm -png -r 150 report.pdf out/page   # one PNG per page
+```
+
+Read every page image for: blank or near-empty pages, a block stranded alone after a keep-together push, a table or figure split mid-exhibit, a heading orphaned at a page foot, clipped or overflowing text, and a running header or footer that drifted or vanished.
+
+Extracting the text proves the words are present. It cannot see any defect in this list - layout is exactly the information that extraction discards. Fix, re-render, and look again until the pages are clean; the same standard governs the `ulw-research` delivery gate and the `mass-ulw` verification wave.
