If your output is starting to have a recognizable signature across unrelated briefs, that is slop (`references/direction.md` § your own house style); rotate lineage, type pairing, colour world and layout topology every time. ## The contract — every mode, every medium 1. **Think like a designer first.** Read [`references/designer-mind.md`](references/designer-mind.md) before any design work — it is the operating system for this skill: the process, the crit vocabulary, and the questions a trained designer runs in order. Everything else hangs off it. 2. **Direction before pixels.** No code, no CSS, no tokens until a design direction is named and committed via [`references/direction.md`](references/direction.md).
