Use When

• Designing any AI output surface — chat bubbles, result panels, document drafts, canvas artifacts.
• The deliverable needs structure, verifiability, grounding, forward-actions, or inline refinement.

Do Not Use When

• Designing the chrome around AI (loading, streaming, confidence states on input side) — use ai-ux-patterns.
• Designing long-running agent control primitives — use ai-agentic-ui.

Required Inputs

• The output shape (prose, list, table, code, image, plan).
• The durability of the output: ephemeral (chat) or artifact (canvas).
• The source material the output will cite (if any).
