 # Transitions Dev — Production CSS Transition Snippets
 
----
+## Mandatory Pre-Flight Context Inspection
+Before reading, generating, or refactoring code in the `transitions-dev` domain, inspect these 5 critical parameters:
+1. **System Boundaries & Dependencies**: Verify that all required dependencies exist in target package manifests and environment paths.
+2. **Runtime Context & Platform Invariants**: Confirm target platform constraints (Node.js, Browser, Mobile OS, Edge runtime) before applying APIs.
+3. **Execution Guardrails**: Identify potential side-effects, state mutations, and unhandled asynchronous exceptions.
+4. **Validation & Type Contracts**: Validate input data schemas and strict type constraints across all module interfaces.
+5. **Observability & Proof of Execution**: Ensure execution produces tangible verification signals (terminal output, tests, metrics).

+
+| Pass | Phase | Core Action | Adaptive Depth |
+|:---|:---|:---|:---|
+| **Pass 1** | **Understand** | Deconstruct the user's explicit objective, implicit requirements, and platform constraints. | Fast / Standard / Deep |
+| **Pass 2** | **Plan** | Decompose task into smallest logical steps; map dependencies, affected files, and tool calls. | Standard / Deep |
+| **Pass 3** | **Execute** | Implement solution with production-grade craft, zero placeholders, and strict typing. | All Modes |
+| **Pass 4** | **Verify** | Run linters, unit tests, or compiler checks to validate structural correctness. | All Modes |

+## 🚨 Edge-Case & Failure Mode Matrix
+
+| Scenario | Risk | Production Mitigation |
+|:---|:---|:---|
+| **Empty or Null Inputs** | Unhandled exception or unexpected rendering collapse | Enforce fallback guards, optional chaining, and explicit empty state handlers |
+| **Network Timeout / Latency** | Hanging operations or duplicate side-effects | Implement bounded abort controllers, exponential backoff, and idempotency keys |
+| **Concurrency / Race Conditions** | Stale state overwrite or inconsistent data mutations | Use atomic transactions, mutex locking, or cancel-on-resubmit controls |
+| **Invalid Schema / Malformed Payload** | Downstream runtime errors or security injection | Validate boundary payloads with Zod/Pydantic schemas prior to execution |
+| **Resource / Memory Saturation** | OOM errors, frame drops, or memory leaks | Clean up listeners, cancel active timers, and enforce pagination/virtualization |
 
-```css

+
+## 🤖 LLM-Specific Traps Table
+
+| Anti-Pattern | What AI Commonly Does Wrong | What Is Actually Correct |
+|:---|:---|:---|
+| **The Instant Pop Trap** | Conditionally unmounting elements without animated interpolation | Use AnimatePresence or coordinate morphs with continuous geometry |
+| **Layout Thrashing** | Animating width, height, top, or left inside animation loops | Animate composite-only transform (translate3d, scale) and opacity |
+| **Sluggish Duration** | Setting micro-interaction transitions to 600ms+ causing interface lag | Cap interactive feedback at 160ms–240ms with snappy ease-out curves |
+
+
+## 🏛️ Tribunal Verification & Guardrails
+
+**Active Reviewers:** `frontend-reviewer` · `motion-reviewer` · `ui-ux-auditor`
+**Slash Command:** `/review` or `/tribunal-full`
+
+### 🔬 Evidence Standard (Tri-State Verification)
+Every finding, audit statement, or completion claim must classify its factual certainty:
+- **`[OBSERVED]`**: Directly confirmed in the codebase or verified via executed terminal command.
+- **`[INFERRED]`**: Logically deduced from code patterns, architectural data flow, or schema relations.
+- **`[UNVERIFIED]`**: Speculative hypothesis or runtime possibility requiring active testing or measurement.
+
+### ✅ Pre-Flight Self-Audit Checklist
 ```
+✅ Does animation maintain 60fps/120fps using transform (translate3d, scale) and opacity?
+✅ Is optical mass conserved across state interpolations without volume collapse?
+✅ Is duration capped within micro-interaction budgets (150ms–280ms)?
+✅ Is prefers-reduced-motion respected with graceful instant fallbacks?
+✅ Did I prevent layout thrashing and continuous geometry mutations?
+```
+
+### 🛑 Verification-Before-Completion (VBC) Protocol
+**CRITICAL:** You must follow a strict "evidence-based closeout" state machine.
+- ❌ **Forbidden:** Declaring a task complete because the output "looks correct."
+- ✅ **Required:** You are explicitly forbidden from finalizing any task without providing **concrete evidence** (terminal output, passing test suites, compiler success, or equivalent operational proof) that your output works as intended.

+
+### 2. Palette Generation Protocol
+
+Generate harmonized color palettes using HSL for precise control:
+
+```
+Primary    → The brand's identity color (used sparingly: CTAs, key icons)
+Surface    → Background tones (light: hsl(0, 0%, 98%), dark: hsl(220, 20%, 10%))
+Accent     → Complementary pop color (split-complementary for sophistication)
+Neutral    → Text and border hierarchy (at least 4 shades)
+Semantic   → Success (green), Warning (amber), Error (red), Info (blue)
+```
+
+**Rules:**
+
+- Always provide both light and dark mode variants.
+- Contrast ratios must meet WCAG 2.2 AA (4.5:1 normal text, 3:1 large text).
+- Generate a test swatch block showing all colors in context.
+
+### 3. Typography Pairing Engine
+
+Recommend Google Font pairings based on personality:
+
+| Personality             | Heading Font      | Body Font     | Usage                |
+| ----------------------- | ----------------- | ------------- | -------------------- |
+| **Elevated Minimalist** | Playfair Display  | Inter         | Luxury, editorial    |
+| **Modern Tech**         | Space Grotesk     | DM Sans       | SaaS, dashboards     |
+| **Friendly Product**    | Outfit            | Source Sans 3 | Consumer apps        |
+| **Bold Creative**       | Clash Display     | Satoshi       | Portfolios, agencies |
+| **Corporate Trust**     | Plus Jakarta Sans | Noto Sans     | Enterprise, fintech  |
+| **Editorial Long-form** | Fraunces          | Literata      | Blogs, magazines     |
+
+**Scale:** Always recommend a modular scale (Major Third 1.25 or Perfect Fourth 1.333).
+
+### 4. Layout Pattern Library
+
+Translate trends into structured layout decisions:
+
+| Pattern                | When to Use                               | CSS Approach                            |
+| ---------------------- | ----------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------- |
+| **Bento Grid**         | Dashboards, landing page feature sections | `grid-template-areas` with varied spans |
+| **Asymmetric Split**   | Hero sections, about pages                | 60/40 or 70/30 grid columns             |
+| **Full-bleed Cards**   | Mobile-first content lists                | `width: 100vw` with negative margin     |
+| **Stacked Sections**   | Long-form landing pages                   | `scroll-snap-type: y mandatory`         |
+| **Sidebar + Canvas**   | App layouts, admin panels                 | `grid-template-columns: 240px 1fr`      |
+| **Overlapping Layers** | Creative portfolios, editorials           | Negative margins + z-index layering     |
+
+### 5. Motion & Interaction Direction
+
+Pair with `whimsy-injector` for implementation. Here, define the _intention_:
+
+| Intent              | Motion Type                  | Duration                     | Easing                       |
+| ------------------- | ---------------------------- | ---------------------------- | ---------------------------- |
+| **Guide attention** | Subtle pulse / scale on CTA  | 200ms                        | ease-out                     |
+| **Show hierarchy**  | Staggered entrance on scroll | 300ms per item, 50ms stagger | cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1) |
+| **Confirm action**  | Checkmark draw / color flash | 150ms                        | ease-in-out                  |
+| **Create depth**    | Parallax on scroll           | Continuous                   | linear (scroll-driven)       |
+
+## Interaction Protocol
+
+### Phase 1: Discovery
+
+```
+1. Ask: "What is the product type?" (SaaS, e-commerce, portfolio, etc.)
+2. Ask: "Who is the target audience?" (developers, consumers, enterprise)
+3. Ask: "What 3 words should users associate with this brand?"
+4. Search for industry-specific trends using search_web.
+5. Cross-reference with `frontend-design` and `web-design-guidelines` skills.
+```
+
+### Phase 2: Muse Report
+
+Provide a structured "Design Muse" report:
+
+```
+━━━ Design Muse Report ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
+
+Direction:  [Trend Name] (e.g., "Soft Brutalism with Warmth")
+Maturity:   [Established / Rising / Experimental]
+
+━━━ Color System ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
+Primary:   hsl(220, 80%, 55%)   → #3366CC
+Surface:   hsl(220, 15%, 97%)   → #F5F6F8
+Accent:    hsl(35, 90%, 60%)    → #E8A030
+Neutral:   hsl(220, 10%, 40%)   → #5C6370
+
+━━━ Typography ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
+Heading:  Space Grotesk (700)  — Scale: 1.333
+Body:     DM Sans (400/500)    — Base: 16px / 1.6 line-height
+
+━━━ Layout Direction ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
+Pattern:    Bento Grid with Asymmetric Hero
+Grid:       8px base unit
+Radius:     12px outer / 8px inner
+Depth:      Soft shadows, no hard borders
+
+━━━ Motion Intent ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
+Entrance:   Staggered fade-up (300ms, 50ms stagger)
+Hover:      Subtle lift + shadow expansion
+Scroll:     Section snap with parallax accents
+
+━━━ References ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
+[1] [Real URL from search — Dribbble/Awwwards/Mobbin]
+[2] [Real URL from search]
+```
+
+### Phase 3: Application
+
+When implementing designs:
+
+- Generate CSS custom properties from the palette.
+- Create a `design-tokens.css` or inject into `index.css`.
+- Pass motion intent to `whimsy-injector` for implementation.
+- Validate accessibility with `ui-ux-researcher`.
+
+## Cross-Skill Integration
+
+| Paired Skill            | Integration Point                                               |
+| ----------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `ui-ux-researcher`      | Validate palette contrast + cognitive load after applying trend |
+| `whimsy-injector`       | Pass motion intent → receive implementation snippets            |
+| `frontend-design`       | Use as reference for component-level styling                    |
+| `web-design-guidelines` | Ensure trend suggestions comply with established guidelines     |
+| `seo-fundamentals`      | Verify that trend choices don't harm Core Web Vitals            |
+
+## Anti-Hallucination Guard
+
+- **Never suggest a design trend without a real-world reference** — cite Dribbble shots, Awwwards winners, or published design systems.
+- **Banned clichés are enforced** — do not suggest purple/violet AI gradients or mesh backgrounds without explicit user request.
+- **Always verify fonts** are available on Google Fonts or system defaults before recommending.
+- **Color contrast must be calculated**, not assumed — use the formula or a known tool.
+- **No fictional design systems** — only reference Material Design, Apple HIG, Ant Design, Radix, Shadcn, or other documented systems.
+
+---
+
+## Output Format
+
+When this skill produces a recommendation or design decision, structure your output as:
+
+```
+━━━ Trend Researcher Recommendation ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
+Decision:    [what was chosen / proposed]
+Rationale:   [why — one concise line]
+Trade-offs:  [what is consciously accepted]
+Next action: [concrete next step for the user]
+─────────────────────────────────────────────────
+Pre-Flight:  ✅ All checks passed
+             or ❌ [blocking item that must be resolved first]

+| Scenario | Risk | Production Mitigation |
+|:---|:---|:---|
+| **Empty or Null Inputs** | Unhandled exception or unexpected rendering collapse | Enforce fallback guards, optional chaining, and explicit empty state handlers |
+| **Network Timeout / Latency** | Hanging operations or duplicate side-effects | Implement bounded abort controllers, exponential backoff, and idempotency keys |
+| **Concurrency / Race Conditions** | Stale state overwrite or inconsistent data mutations | Use atomic transactions, mutex locking, or cancel-on-resubmit controls |
+| **Invalid Schema / Malformed Payload** | Downstream runtime errors or security injection | Validate boundary payloads with Zod/Pydantic schemas prior to execution |
+| **Resource / Memory Saturation** | OOM errors, frame drops, or memory leaks | Clean up listeners, cancel active timers, and enforce pagination/virtualization |
 
-**Scale:** Always recommend a modular scale (Major Third 1.25 or Perfect Fourth 1.333).

-Translate trends into structured layout decisions:
+| Anti-Pattern | What AI Commonly Does Wrong | What Is Actually Correct |
+|:---|:---|:---|
+| **Hallucinated Tool Capabilities** | Assuming an external library or CLI command exists without verification | Run a verification check or verify package.json before referencing tools |
+| **Premature Completion Claim** | Declaring a task finished because code was generated without verification | Execute tests, linters, or terminal commands to provide concrete proof |
+| **Context Bloat Dumping** | Pasting entire multi-thousand-line files into prompt context | Extract targeted excerpts, symbols, and signatures to preserve tokens |

-Pair with `whimsy-injector` for implementation. Here, define the _intention_:
+**Active Reviewers:** `orchestrator` · `agent-organizer` · `logic-reviewer`
+**Slash Command:** `/review` or `/tribunal-full`
 
-| Intent              | Motion Type                  | Duration                     | Easing                       |

-## Interaction Protocol
-
-### Phase 1: Discovery
+### 🔬 Evidence Standard (Tri-State Verification)
+Every finding, audit statement, or completion claim must classify its factual certainty:
+- **`[OBSERVED]`**: Directly confirmed in the codebase or verified via executed terminal command.
+- **`[INFERRED]`**: Logically deduced from code patterns, architectural data flow, or schema relations.
+- **`[UNVERIFIED]`**: Speculative hypothesis or runtime possibility requiring active testing or measurement.
 
+### ✅ Pre-Flight Self-Audit Checklist
 ```
-1. Ask: "What is the product type?" (SaaS, e-commerce, portfolio, etc.)
-2. Ask: "Who is the target audience?" (developers, consumers, enterprise)
-3. Ask: "What 3 words should users associate with this brand?"
-4. Search for industry-specific trends using search_web.
-5. Cross-reference with `frontend-design` and `web-design-guidelines` skills.
+✅ Did I deconstruct the root objective before proposing architecture?
+✅ Did I identify dependencies, bottlenecks, and parallelizable sub-tasks?
+✅ Did I avoid over-engineering and select the simplest effective pattern?
+✅ Did I verify assumptions with concrete file reads instead of speculation?
+✅ Did I establish measurable verification criteria before completion?
 ```
 
-### Phase 2: Muse Report
-
-Provide a structured "Design Muse" report:
-
-```
-━━━ Design Muse Report ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
-
-Direction:  [Trend Name] (e.g., "Soft Brutalism with Warmth")
-Maturity:   [Established / Rising / Experimental]

-Hover:      Subtle lift + shadow expansion
-Scroll:     Section snap with parallax accents
-
-━━━ References ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
-[1] [Real URL from search — Dribbble/Awwwards/Mobbin]
-[2] [Real URL from search]
-```
-
-### Phase 3: Application
-
-When implementing designs:
-
-- Generate CSS custom properties from the palette.
-- Create a `design-tokens.css` or inject into `index.css`.
-- Pass motion intent to `whimsy-injector` for implementation.
-- Validate accessibility with `ui-ux-researcher`.
-
-## Cross-Skill Integration
-
-| Paired Skill            | Integration Point                                               |
-| ----------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| `ui-ux-researcher`      | Validate palette contrast + cognitive load after applying trend |
-| `whimsy-injector`       | Pass motion intent → receive implementation snippets            |
-| `frontend-design`       | Use as reference for component-level styling                    |
-| `web-design-guidelines` | Ensure trend suggestions comply with established guidelines     |
-| `seo-fundamentals`      | Verify that trend choices don't harm Core Web Vitals            |
-
-## Anti-Hallucination Guard
-
-- **Never suggest a design trend without a real-world reference** — cite Dribbble shots, Awwwards winners, or published design systems.
-- **Banned clichés are enforced** — do not suggest purple/violet AI gradients or mesh backgrounds without explicit user request.
-- **Always verify fonts** are available on Google Fonts or system defaults before recommending.
-- **Color contrast must be calculated**, not assumed — use the formula or a known tool.
-- **No fictional design systems** — only reference Material Design, Apple HIG, Ant Design, Radix, Shadcn, or other documented systems.

-## Output Format
-
-When this skill produces a recommendation or design decision, structure your output as:
-
-```
-━━━ Trend Researcher Recommendation ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
-Decision:    [what was chosen / proposed]
-Rationale:   [why — one concise line]
-Trade-offs:  [what is consciously accepted]
-Next action: [concrete next step for the user]
-─────────────────────────────────────────────────
-Pre-Flight:  ✅ All checks passed
-             or ❌ [blocking item that must be resolved first]
-```
+### 🛑 Verification-Before-Completion (VBC) Protocol
+**CRITICAL:** You must follow a strict "evidence-based closeout" state machine.
+- ❌ **Forbidden:** Declaring a task complete because the output "looks correct."
+- ✅ **Required:** You are explicitly forbidden from finalizing any task without providing **concrete evidence** (terminal output, passing test suites, compiler success, or equivalent operational proof) that your output works as intended.
