[IMPORTANT] Use TaskCreate to break ALL work into small tasks BEFORE starting — including tasks for each file read. This prevents context loss from long files. For simple tasks, AI MUST ATTENTION ask user whether to skip.

Quick Summary

Goal: Build distinctive, craft-driven product interfaces (dashboards, admin panels, SaaS apps) that emerge from domain exploration rather than AI defaults.

Workflow:

1. Intent — Identify who, what task, what feeling (ask user if unclear)
2. Domain Exploration — Produce 4 required outputs: domain concepts, color world, signature element, named defaults
3. Propose Direction — Present exploration + direction, get user buy-in
4. Build — Apply craft foundations (layering, tokens, typography, spacing)
5. Evaluate — Run mandate checks (swap, squint, signature, token tests) before showing

Key Rules:

• Every design choice must have a WHY — "it's common" is not a reason
• Produce 4 domain outputs before proposing any direction
• Run 4 mandate checks before showing output to user
