-Rate each 1-5 or skip. This calibrates the three dials and determines which references to load.
+Do NOT present a static menu of capabilities. Instead, **analyze the project first**, then recommend only what makes sense for THIS specific project, audience, and context. A legal SaaS needs different treatment than a portfolio site. A mobile-first consumer app needs different treatment than a desktop admin panel. Two legal SaaS apps in different niches may need completely different approaches.

+#### How It Works
+
+1. **Read the codebase first.** Before recommending anything, understand:
+   - What type of product is this? (SaaS dashboard, marketing site, e-commerce, portfolio, internal tool, mobile app)
+   - Who uses it? (developers, lawyers, consumers, enterprise buyers, creative professionals)
+   - What's the primary interaction pattern? (data-heavy reading, frequent form input, content browsing, real-time collaboration)
+   - What already exists? (existing animations, sounds, icon library, design tokens)
+
+2. **Study 2-3 real competitors** in the same space. Not generic SaaS -- the actual competitive landscape. What do THEY do for motion, sound, iconography? What's standard for this industry? What would differentiate?
+
+3. **Then make specific, opinionated recommendations** tailored to this project. Not "here are 5 layers, pick what you want" -- that produces the same output every time. Instead:
+
+   "Based on what I see -- this is a legal practice management tool used by attorneys during their workday. Here's what I'd recommend and why:
+   
+   - [Specific recommendation 1 with reasoning tied to THIS project's users and context]
+   - [Specific recommendation 2 that addresses a gap I found in the codebase]  
+   - [Specific recommendation 3 that competitors do well and this project could benefit from]
+   - I would NOT recommend [thing] because [specific reason for THIS project]"
+
+4. **Be honest about what doesn't fit.** If a project doesn't need sound design -- say so and explain why. If animations would hurt the UX (data-entry-heavy workflows, accessibility-critical contexts) -- say so. The goal is the RIGHT design for THIS project, not the MOST design.
+
+#### Capability Awareness
+
+You have deep reference files for all of these. Know they exist so you can recommend them WHEN APPROPRIATE -- but never as a checkbox list:
+
+- Motion & animation (4 intensity levels, from hover states to scroll-driven storytelling)
+- UI sound design (Tone.js synthesis, base64 audio, useSound hook)
+- Haptic feedback (Vibration API patterns for mobile)
+- Icon systems (Lucide, Phosphor, Heroicons, animated state transitions)
+- Generative art (p5.js, canvas, algorithmic SVG)
+- Data visualization (chart systems, Tufte-inspired display)
+- Scroll interactions (IntersectionObserver, scroll-timeline, parallax)
+- Conversion optimization (CTA psychology, pricing page patterns)
+- View Transitions API, container queries, magnetic cursors, text morphing
+
+The key: recommend based on analysis, not from a menu. Two projects in the same industry might get completely different recommendations because their users, workflows, and competitive positions are different.
+
+#### After recommendations, ask priorities:
+- "**Mobile** -- how important for your users specifically?"
+- "**Accessibility** -- what level does your audience need?"
+- "**Dark mode** -- do your users work in it?"
+- "**Performance** -- any constraints I should know about?"

+
+Do NOT jump to code. Present a **Design Brief** -- a short, opinionated creative direction that shows the user what you plan to do and why. This is what separates a design studio from a code generator.
+

+   - The specific design decisions you're making and WHY for this project

+4. **Wait for confirmation**: "Does this direction feel right? I won't write code until you say go."
+
+### CRITICAL: The Reference Loading Rule
+
+After the user confirms the brief, load the SPECIFIC reference files for what they selected. Do not load all 30+ references. Load only what's relevant:
+
+- Selected motion Tier 2+? Load `motion-and-animation.md` + `micro-interactions.md` + `animation-performance.md`
+- Selected sounds? Load `sensory-design.md` (Section 1: UI Sound Design)
+- Selected haptics? Load `sensory-design.md` (Section 2: Haptic Feedback)
+- Selected animated icons? Load `micro-interactions.md` (Section 5: Toggle and Switch Animations)
+- Selected generative art? Load `generative-art.md`
+- Selected data viz? Load `data-visualization.md`
+- Selected scroll storytelling? Load `micro-interactions.md` (Section 1: Scroll-Triggered)
+- Always load: `anti-patterns.md`, `typography.md`, `color-and-contrast.md`, `spatial-design.md`
+
+Then ACTUALLY READ those files before writing code. Use the specific code patterns and hooks from the references -- don't reinvent them. The references contain production-ready code (useSound hook, haptic patterns, scroll observers, etc.).

+## The Studio Standard
+
+Picasso is not a linter. It is not a checklist runner. It is a design studio that produces work indistinguishable from a senior human designer. Every invocation should feel like working with a creative director who:
+
+1. **Analyzes before prescribing.** Read the codebase, understand the product, study the competitors, THEN make recommendations. Never present a generic capability menu -- two projects should get different recommendations because they ARE different. The right answer for a legal SaaS is not the same as for a music app.
+
+2. **Delivers a creative vision** before writing code. A Design Brief that is specific to THIS project -- if you could swap the project name and the brief still works, it's too generic.
+
+3. **Actually implements what was promised.** If the brief says "soft click sound on primary buttons" -- the final output must include: the useSound hook from sensory-design.md, the audio source (Tone.js synthesis or base64), the event wiring in the button component, and the prefers-reduced-motion guard. Not "I recommend adding sounds" -- the actual working code.
+
+4. **Uses the reference library.** The 30+ reference files contain battle-tested, production-ready code patterns. When you recommend something, read the relevant reference and use its code. Do not reinvent. Do not hallucinate simpler versions.
+
+5. **Verifies with screenshots.** Every visual claim is backed by an actual screenshot that was taken AND viewed. No exceptions.
+
+6. **Knows when to say no.** Not every project needs animations. Not every project needs sound. Not every project needs haptics. The mark of a great designer is knowing what to leave out. If you recommend something, you must be able to articulate why THIS project benefits from it specifically -- not "it's a best practice" or "it improves perceived quality." WHY for THIS product, THESE users, THIS context.

+# Figma MCP Integration
+
+Reference for using Figma's Model Context Protocol (MCP) server to access design data directly from Figma files. This replaces or supplements Playwright screenshots with structured design information.
+
+## Why Figma MCP > Screenshots
+
+Screenshots show pixels. Figma MCP gives you the **design graph**: layers, tokens, spacing values, component instances, styles, and constraints. This means:
+
+- **Accurate color extraction:** Get exact hex/OKLCH values, not color-picked approximations
+- **Real spacing values:** Read auto-layout gaps, padding, and margins as the designer set them
+- **Typography facts:** Font family, weight, size, line-height, letter-spacing — all exact
+- **Component structure:** See which components are instances, variants, and overrides
+- **Design intent:** Understand constraints, auto-layout direction, and responsive behavior
+
+## When to Use Figma MCP vs Playwright
+
+| Scenario | Use Figma MCP | Use Playwright |
+|---|---|---|
+| Auditing a Figma design before implementation | ✅ | ❌ |
+| Extracting design tokens from a Figma file | ✅ | ❌ |
+| Reviewing a live deployed site | ❌ | ✅ |
+| Comparing Figma design vs live implementation | ✅ + ✅ | ✅ only |
+| Generating a DESIGN.md from existing design | ✅ preferred | ✅ fallback |
+| Roasting a design that only exists in Figma | ✅ | ❌ |
+
+**Rule:** If the user provides a Figma URL or mentions a Figma file, always prefer Figma MCP. If they provide a live URL or localhost, use Playwright. If both exist, use both for comparison.
+
+## MCP Server Options
+
+Two main Figma MCP implementations:
+
+### Option A: Figma's Official MCP (REST API)
+Package: `@anthropic/figma-mcp` or Figma's official MCP server
+- Uses Figma REST API with a personal access token
+- Read-only: fetch files, nodes, styles, components, export images
+- Best for: CI/CD, automated audits, headless analysis
+- Tools: `get_file`, `get_node`, `get_styles`, `get_components`, `get_image`
+
+### Option B: Talk to Figma MCP (Live Connection)
+Package: `cursor-talk-to-figma-mcp` (localhost:3055)
+- Connects to a running Figma instance via plugin
+- **Read AND write**: read frames, update text/properties, create shapes, adjust spacing
+- Best for: interactive design work, syncing copy, wireframing
+- Can snapshot frames and verify changes visually
+
+**Which to use:**
+- For Picasso audits/roasts/scoring → Either works. REST API is simpler.
+- For `/steal` token extraction → REST API preferred (structured data).
+- For `/figma --compare` → REST API for Figma data + Playwright for live site.
+- For interactive design updates (changing copy, adjusting spacing) → Talk to Figma MCP.
+
+## Available MCP Tools (REST API)
+
+### `mcp__figma__get_file`
+Fetch the full structure of a Figma file.
+- Input: `file_key` (extracted from Figma URL)
+- Returns: Document tree with pages, frames, components, styles
+- Use for: Understanding overall file structure, finding specific frames
+
+### `mcp__figma__get_node`
+Fetch a specific node (frame, component, group) by ID.
+- Input: `file_key`, `node_id`
+- Returns: Full node properties including fills, strokes, effects, layout, children
+- Use for: Deep-diving into specific components or sections
+
+### `mcp__figma__get_styles`
+Fetch all published styles from the file.
+- Input: `file_key`
+- Returns: Color styles, text styles, effect styles, grid styles
+- Use for: Extracting the design system / token set
+
+### `mcp__figma__get_components`
+Fetch all components and component sets.
+- Input: `file_key`
+- Returns: Component names, descriptions, variant properties
+- Use for: Understanding the component library structure
+
+### `mcp__figma__get_image`
+Export a node as a rendered image (PNG/SVG/PDF).
+- Input: `file_key`, `node_id`, `format`, `scale`
+- Returns: Image URL
+- Use for: Visual verification when you need to see rendered output alongside data
+
+## Available MCP Tools (Talk to Figma — Live Connection)
+
+When using the Talk to Figma plugin (localhost:3055), additional capabilities:
+
+- **Read frames**: List pages, get frame contents, read text layers
+- **Update text**: Change text content in any text layer
+- **Update properties**: Modify fills, strokes, effects, spacing
+- **Create shapes**: Add rectangles, frames, text nodes
+- **Adjust spacing**: Modify auto-layout padding and gaps
+- **Snapshot**: Export current frame state for visual verification
+
+**Critical rule:** After any Figma write operation, snapshot the frame and verify it looks correct before proceeding. Figma changes are live — there's no undo via MCP.
+
+## Extracting a Figma File Key
+
+From a Figma URL:
+```
+https://www.figma.com/design/ABC123xyz/My-Design-File?node-id=0-1
+                              ^^^^^^^^^
+                              file_key = ABC123xyz
+```
+
+From a Figma node URL:
+```
+https://www.figma.com/design/ABC123xyz/My-Design-File?node-id=123-456
+                              ^^^^^^^^^                        ^^^^^^^
+                              file_key                         node_id (use 123:456 in API)
+```
+
+**Note:** URL uses `-` separator in node-id, but the API expects `:` separator. Convert `123-456` → `123:456`.
+
+## Design Token Extraction Workflow
+
+When extracting design tokens from Figma for DESIGN.md generation:
+
+1. **Get styles** via `get_styles` — these are the designer's intended token set
+2. **Get the root frame** via `get_node` — check auto-layout settings for spacing rhythm
+3. **Map to Picasso tokens:**
+   - Color styles → `--color-*` tokens (convert to OKLCH)
+   - Text styles → typography scale (check for consistent ratio)
+   - Effect styles → shadow scale, blur values
+   - Grid styles → layout columns, gutter, margin
+
+### Spacing Extraction
+Read auto-layout `itemSpacing` and `paddingTop/Right/Bottom/Left` from frames. Look for patterns:
+- If spacing values are multiples of 4 or 8 → 4px or 8px base unit
+- If spacing values follow a ratio → extract the scale
+
+### Color Extraction
+Figma stores colors as RGBA (0-1 float). Convert to OKLCH for Picasso:
+- Extract fills from color styles
+- Group into: primary, secondary, accent, neutral, semantic (success/warning/error)
+- Check that neutrals are tinted (not pure gray) — flag if they aren't
+
+### Typography Extraction
+From text styles, extract:
+- Font family (flag if it's Inter/Roboto/system default — suggest alternatives)
+- Size scale (check for consistent modular ratio)
+- Weight usage (should have clear hierarchy: regular body, medium labels, semibold headings)
+- Line-height (check it's proportional, not fixed px for all sizes)
+
+## Anti-Patterns to Flag
+
+When analyzing Figma files, watch for these common design issues:
+
+1. **Detached instances** — Components used but detached from the library. Design debt.
+2. **Inconsistent spacing** — Auto-layout frames with ad-hoc spacing values (17px, 23px, 31px instead of a rhythm).
+3. **Unnamed layers** — "Frame 247", "Group 13". Signals hasty work.
+4. **Color styles not used** — Hardcoded colors instead of style references.
+5. **Text styles not used** — Hardcoded typography instead of style references.
+6. **Missing auto-layout** — Frames positioned absolutely instead of using auto-layout. Breaks responsive behavior.
+7. **Single-variant components** — Components that should have variants but don't (e.g., a button with only one state).
+8. **Enormous frame nesting** — 10+ levels deep. Simplify.
+
+## Copy Sync Workflow
+
+When working with both Figma designs and code, copy (text content) is a common source of drift. Use Figma MCP to keep them synchronized:
+
+1. **Read current copy from Figma** — extract all text layers from target frames
+2. **Compare against code** — diff the Figma text against what's rendered in the implementation
+3. **Determine source of truth** — typically Figma is upstream (design → code), but if copy was updated in code first, flag it
+4. **Sync direction:**
+   - Figma newer → update code to match
+   - Code newer → flag for designer review (don't auto-write to Figma without confirmation)
+5. **Verify** — after syncing, screenshot the live site and compare against Figma export
+
+This is especially useful for:
+- Marketing pages where copy changes frequently
+- Multi-language sites where translations update in Figma
+- Design handoff where developers may use placeholder text
+
+## Comparison Workflow: Figma vs Implementation
+
+When both a Figma file and live implementation exist:
+
+1. Extract tokens from Figma via MCP
+2. Screenshot the live site via Playwright
+3. Compare:
+   - Are the Figma fonts actually loaded on the site?
+   - Do spacing values match? (Common drift: Figma says 24px, CSS says 1.5rem which computes to 24px — match. Or CSS says `gap-6` which is 24px — match.)
+   - Are colors within ΔE < 3 tolerance? (Figma RGBA → site computed OKLCH)
+   - Are components structurally similar or did the dev reinterpret the design?
+4. Report discrepancies with severity:
+   - **Critical:** Wrong font, wrong primary color, missing sections
+   - **High:** Spacing off by >8px, wrong font weights, missing states
+   - **Medium:** Minor color drift, slightly different border radius, extra whitespace
+   - **Low:** Subpixel differences, minor animation timing differences
