Gather design context for this project, then persist it for all future sessions.

setup writes to .better-react-web-ui.md as the canonical destination. Older files such as .better-web-ui.md, .better-ui.md, and .impeccable.md are legacy migration inputs only, not the place new work should keep using.

Follow project context to resolve the owning application and inherited defaults before writing. Existing DESIGN.md files remain design-system inputs. Link to their tokens instead of copying them into a competing inventory.

Consult design principles when turning product values, tone, and repeated tradeoffs into durable design principles that later work can reuse without reopening the same debates. Consult ux strategy when the project needs a clearer strategic frame for target outcomes, user focus, priorities, feasibility, or major risks.

Step 1: Explore the Codebase

Follow the Context Gathering Protocol. Reuse explicit instructions, documented audience and brand context, and prior answers. Inspect the relevant project files before asking about gaps:
