77

78

+ ### 3. Walk them through the decisions, one at a time
170
+
171
+ Four decisions are theirs. **Ask them as separate questions with selectable options** - use your
172
+ question tool, one call per decision, so they pick instead of reading a wall and composing a
173
+ reply. A single block containing everything is a report, and a report gets read, not answered.
174
+
175
+ Every question carries **your recommendation first, marked as such**, and the evidence for it in
176
+ one line. They are choosing, not auditing you.
177
+
178
+ **3a. Source** - the folder you measure the system out of.
179
+
180
+ Options are the candidates the CLI already ranked, each with what it would produce, plus the
181
+ whole repo, plus *somewhere else* for a path they type:
182
+
183
+ \`\`\`
184
+ Where should the system come from?
185
+
186
+ packages/ui (recommended) 114 files · 47% of its values already named ·
187
+ 92 tokens of their own · every app imports it
188
+ the whole repo 2797 files · 36% · the average of one dark app
189
+ and two light ones, which is a diagnosis and
190
+ not a system
191
+ apps/web-dashboard the heaviest consumer, if you want one app's
192
+ vocabulary rather than the shared one
193
+ somewhere else a path you name
194
+ \`\`\`
195
+
196
+ If they name a path you cannot use, say which of the two it is and offer the list again:
197
+
198
+ - **it does not exist**, or holds no files you can read
199
+ - **it holds no design values** - no colours, no radii, no tokens. A folder of server code or
200
+ config is not a design system, and measuring it produces a system of nothing.
201
+
202
+ **3b. Name** - suggest theirs, and let Enter take it:
203
+
204
+ \`\`\`
205
+ What should it be called? (SignalUI)
206
+ \`\`\`
207
+
208
+ Say where the suggestion came from - \`Introduction.mdx\`, the package name, the folder. A name
209
+ they recognise is worth more than a clever one. The slug is derived once and never changes, so
210
+ this is the moment.
211
+
212
+ **3c. Primary** - and explain the role before offering the choice, because *primary* is our word
213
+ and not necessarily theirs:
214
+
215
+ \`\`\`
216
+ Primary is the colour that carries action - buttons, links, focus, the thing
217
+ you want pressed. Everything else in the system is measured for contrast
218
+ against it.
219
+
220
+ #059aed ocean-500 (recommended) your ColorPalette.mdx calls Ocean the
221
+ "Primary branding scale"
222
+ #1a4ed8 royal-blue-500 your docs label this one secondary
223
+ #ec4899 vivid-pink-500 half of your signature AI gradient
224
+ #4A90E2 blue-500 the most-painted blue in the folder,
225
+ but it sits after your own
226
+ /* End - Signal UI */ marker
227
+ \`\`\`
228
+
229
+ Always name the hex AND the token, and always give the reason a value is *not* recommended when
230
+ frequency would have picked it. That last row is the whole point of asking.
231
+
232
+ **3d. Default theme** - which face it opens in:
233
+
234
+ \`\`\`
235
+ dark (recommended) data-theme="dark" in the root layout, next-themes
236
+ defaultTheme="dark", enableSystem={false}
237
+ light the other one, also real here
238
+ \`\`\`
239
+
240
+ **Two is all there is** - a SynthesisUI system carries one palette and one alternate, and the
241
+ schema is \`"light" | "dark"\`. So this is not "which themes do you support", it is "which one do
242
+ docs and installs open in". If both are real, both get built from their own tokens; this picks
243
+ the face.
244
+
245
+ **3e. Canvas** - confirm, do not offer a list. The page is measured, not chosen:
246
+
247
+ \`\`\`
248
+ canvas #222326 darkgray-500 - what DashboardLayout paints on <main>
249
+ (your sidebar sits a step deeper at darkgray-700)
250
+ \`\`\`
251
+
252
+ Say it and let them object. Offering five near-blacks to pick between is asking someone to
253
+ re-decide something their code already decided.
254
+
255
+ **3f. Fonts** - do not ask at all. Report and move on:
256
+
257
+ \`\`\`
258
+ fonts Figtree for both display and body - the only family declared
259
+ (--font-sans, and next/font Figtree in all three root layouts)
260
+ \`\`\`
261
+
262
+ If a project genuinely declares two families, say which is which and why you paired them that
263
+ way. If it declares one, there is nothing to decide.
264
+
265
+ **A note on colour swatches.** You cannot paint a hex in this conversation, so the token name
266
+ carries the weight - \`ocean-500\` tells someone more than a square would. When they run
267
+ \`npx synthesisui import\` themselves in a terminal, the CLI paints them.
268
+
269
+ Then, and only after all four are answered:

- **One real write, and it creates a system on their account.** Say what you are about to send
159
- and what it will be called before you run it.
275
+ **This is the one real write.** Everything before it is on their disk and costs nothing to redo.
160

161
- The CLI asks for a name unless \`--name\` is passed. It does **not** ask about the scheme when
162
- your reading already answered - a second question would only be a chance to contradict you.
277
+ Pass every answer explicitly - \`--name\`, \`--scope\` if they changed it, and the reading rewritten
278
+ with their primary and their theme. The CLI cannot ask anything when you are the one running it:
279
+ it has no terminal, so its own prompts are skipped by design. **Whatever you did not ask, nobody
280
+ asked.** Skip 3a and the first time they learn where their system came from is when they open
281
+ it.
163

164
- If it refuses, it will tell you which of the two problems it is: no session, an expired one, or

166
