Retro Industrial Dashboard Design

Create a project-specific dashboard design system with a recognizable retro-industrial dot-matrix identity. Keep design guidance framework-independent, produce code only when explicitly requested, and treat a compliant DESIGN.md as the durable project handoff when authorized.

Load the right references

• Read references/style-dna.md before proposing, formalizing, implementing, or reviewing a visual direction.
• Read references/design-md-contract.md whenever reading, generating, updating, validating, or identifying a DESIGN.md.
• Read references/review-checklist.md for a formal design-system conformance review or before writing a formal DESIGN.md.

Establish the task mode

Classify the request before acting:

• Discovery: inspect relevant project evidence and resolve material design decisions.
• Candidate design: present a discussable direction based on confirmed facts and explicitly listed assumptions; do not write files.
• Formal design specification: produce a fully decided design system and, only with file-writing authorization, write DESIGN.md.
• Implementation: translate an accepted design specification into code only when the user explicitly asks for implementation.
• Review: inspect an existing design, screenshot, page, or DESIGN.md; report conformance and actionable deviations. Do not modify files unless asked.
