+description: Overrides default LLM truncation behavior. Enforces complete code generation, bans placeholder patterns, and handles token-limit splits cleanly. Apply to any task requiring exhaustive, unabridged output.
+---
+
+# Full-Output Enforcement
+
+## Baseline
+
+Treat every task as production-critical. A partial output is a broken output. Do not optimize for brevity — optimize for completeness. If the user asks for a full file, deliver the full file. If the user asks for 5 components, deliver 5 components. No exceptions.
+
+## Banned Output Patterns
+
+The following patterns are hard failures. Never produce them:
+
+**In code blocks:** `// ...`, `// rest of code`, `// implement here`, `// TODO`, `/* ... */`, `// similar to above`, `// continue pattern`, `// add more as needed`, bare `...` standing in for omitted code
+
+**In prose:** "Let me know if you want me to continue", "I can provide more details if needed", "for brevity", "the rest follows the same pattern", "similarly for the remaining", "and so on" (when replacing actual content), "I'll leave that as an exercise"
+
+**Structural shortcuts:** Outputting a skeleton when the request was for a full implementation. Showing the first and last section while skipping the middle. Replacing repeated logic with one example and a description. Describing what code should do instead of writing it.
+
+## Execution Process
+
+1. **Scope** — Read the full request. Count how many distinct deliverables are expected (files, functions, sections, answers). Lock that number.
+2. **Build** — Generate every deliverable completely. No partial drafts, no "you can extend this later."
+3. **Cross-check** — Before output, re-read the original request. Compare your deliverable count against the scope count. If anything is missing, add it before responding.
+
+## Handling Long Outputs
+
+When a response approaches the token limit:
+
+- Do not compress remaining sections to squeeze them in.
+- Do not skip ahead to a conclusion.
+- Write at full quality up to a clean breakpoint (end of a function, end of a file, end of a section).
+- End with:
+
+```
+[PAUSED — X of Y complete. Send "continue" to resume from: next section name]
+```
+
+On "continue", pick up exactly where you stopped. No recap, no repetition.
+
+## Quick Check
+
+Before finalizing any response, verify:
+- No banned patterns from the list above appear anywhere in the output
+- Every item the user requested is present and finished
+- Code blocks contain actual runnable code, not descriptions of what code would do
+- Nothing was shortened to save space

+name: redesign-existing-projects
+description: Upgrades existing websites and apps to premium quality. Audits current design, identifies generic AI patterns, and applies high-end design standards without breaking functionality. Works with any CSS framework or vanilla CSS.
+---
+
+# Redesign Skill
+
+## How This Works
+
+When applied to an existing project, follow this sequence:
+
+1. **Scan** — Read the codebase. Identify the framework, styling method (Tailwind, vanilla CSS, styled-components, etc.), and current design patterns.
+2. **Diagnose** — Run through the audit below. List every generic pattern, weak point, and missing state you find.
+3. **Fix** — Apply targeted upgrades working with the existing stack. Do not rewrite from scratch. Improve what's there.
+
+## Design Audit
+
+### Typography
+
+Check for these problems and fix them:
+
+- **Browser default fonts or Inter everywhere.** Replace with a font that has character. Good options: `Geist`, `Outfit`, `Cabinet Grotesk`, `Satoshi`. For editorial/creative projects, pair a serif header with a sans-serif body.
+- **Headlines lack presence.** Increase size for display text, tighten letter-spacing, reduce line-height. Headlines should feel heavy and intentional.
+- **Body text too wide.** Limit paragraph width to roughly 65 characters. Increase line-height for readability.
+- **Only Regular (400) and Bold (700) weights used.** Introduce Medium (500) and SemiBold (600) for more subtle hierarchy.
+- **Numbers in proportional font.** Use a monospace font or enable tabular figures (`font-variant-numeric: tabular-nums`) for data-heavy interfaces.
+- **Missing letter-spacing adjustments.** Use negative tracking for large headers, positive tracking for small caps or labels.
+- **All-caps subheaders everywhere.** Try lowercase italics, sentence case, or small-caps instead.
+- **Orphaned words.** Single words sitting alone on the last line. Fix with `text-wrap: balance` or `text-wrap: pretty`.
+
+### Color and Surfaces
+
+- **Pure `#000000` background.** Replace with off-black, dark charcoal, or tinted dark (`#0a0a0a`, `#121212`, or a dark navy).
+- **Oversaturated accent colors.** Keep saturation below 80%. Desaturate accents so they blend with neutrals instead of screaming.
+- **More than one accent color.** Pick one. Remove the rest. Consistency beats variety.
+- **Mixing warm and cool grays.** Stick to one gray family. Tint all grays with a consistent hue (warm or cool, not both).
+- **Purple/blue "AI gradient" aesthetic.** This is the most common AI design fingerprint. Replace with neutral bases and a single, considered accent.
+- **Generic `box-shadow`.** Tint shadows to match the background hue. Use colored shadows (e.g., dark blue shadow on a blue background) instead of pure black at low opacity.
+- **Flat design with zero texture.** Add subtle noise, grain, or micro-patterns to backgrounds. Pure flat vectors feel sterile.
+- **Perfectly even gradients.** Break the uniformity with radial gradients, noise overlays, or mesh gradients instead of standard linear 45-degree fades.
+- **Inconsistent lighting direction.** Audit all shadows to ensure they suggest a single, consistent light source.
+- **Random dark sections in a light mode page (or vice versa).** A single dark-background section breaking an otherwise light page looks like a copy-paste accident. Either commit to a full dark mode or keep a consistent background tone throughout. If contrast is needed, use a slightly darker shade of the same palette — not a sudden jump to `#111` in the middle of a cream page.
+- **Empty, flat sections with no visual depth.** Sections that are just text on a plain background feel unfinished. Add high-quality background imagery (blurred, overlaid, or masked), subtle patterns, or ambient gradients. Use reliable placeholder sources like `https://picsum.photos/seed/{name}/1920/1080` when real assets are not available. Experiment with background images behind hero sections, feature blocks, or CTAs — even a subtle full-width photo at low opacity adds presence.
+
+### Layout
+
+- **Everything centered and symmetrical.** Break symmetry with offset margins, mixed aspect ratios, or left-aligned headers over centered content.
+- **Three equal card columns as feature row.** This is the most generic AI layout. Replace with a 2-column zig-zag, asymmetric grid, horizontal scroll, or masonry layout.
+- **Using `height: 100vh` for full-screen sections.** Replace with `min-height: 100dvh` to prevent layout jumping on mobile browsers (iOS Safari viewport bug).
+- **Complex flexbox percentage math.** Replace with CSS Grid for reliable multi-column structures.
+- **No max-width container.** Add a container constraint (around 1200-1440px) with auto margins so content doesn't stretch edge-to-edge on wide screens.
+- **Cards of equal height forced by flexbox.** Allow variable heights or use masonry when content varies in length.
+- **Uniform border-radius on everything.** Vary the radius: tighter on inner elements, softer on containers.
+- **No overlap or depth.** Elements sit flat next to each other. Use negative margins to create layering and visual depth.
+- **Symmetrical vertical padding.** Top and bottom padding are always identical. Adjust optically — bottom padding often needs to be slightly larger.
+- **Dashboard always has a left sidebar.** Try top navigation, a floating command menu, or a collapsible panel instead.
+- **Missing whitespace.** Double the spacing. Let the design breathe. Dense layouts work for data dashboards, not for marketing pages.
+- **Buttons not bottom-aligned in card groups.** When cards have different content lengths, CTAs end up at random heights. Pin buttons to the bottom of each card so they form a clean horizontal line regardless of content above.
+- **Feature lists starting at different vertical positions.** In pricing tables or comparison cards, the list of features should start at the same Y position across all columns. Use consistent spacing above the list or fixed-height title/price blocks.
+- **Inconsistent vertical rhythm in side-by-side elements.** When placing cards, columns, or panels next to each other, align shared elements (titles, descriptions, prices, buttons) across all items. Misaligned baselines make the layout look broken.
+- **Mathematical alignment that looks optically wrong.** Centering by the math doesn't always look centered to the eye. Icons next to text, play buttons in circles, or text in buttons often need 1-2px optical adjustments to feel right.
+
+### Interactivity and States
+
+- **No hover states on buttons.** Add background shift, slight scale, or translate on hover.
+- **No active/pressed feedback.** Add a subtle `scale(0.98)` or `translateY(1px)` on press to simulate a physical click.
+- **Instant transitions with zero duration.** Add smooth transitions (200-300ms) to all interactive elements.
+- **Missing focus ring.** Ensure visible focus indicators for keyboard navigation. This is an accessibility requirement, not optional.
+- **No loading states.** Replace generic circular spinners with skeleton loaders that match the layout shape.
+- **No empty states.** An empty dashboard showing nothing is a missed opportunity. Design a composed "getting started" view.
+- **No error states.** Add clear, inline error messages for forms. Do not use `window.alert()`.
+- **Dead links.** Buttons that link to `#`. Either link to real destinations or visually disable them.
+- **No indication of current page in navigation.** Style the active nav link differently so users know where they are.
+- **Scroll jumping.** Anchor clicks jump instantly. Add `scroll-behavior: smooth`.
+- **Animations using `top`, `left`, `width`, `height`.** Switch to `transform` and `opacity` for GPU-accelerated, smooth animation.
+
+### Content
+
+- **Generic names like "John Doe" or "Jane Smith".** Use diverse, realistic-sounding names.
+- **Fake round numbers like `99.99%`, `50%`, `$100.00`.** Use organic, messy data: `47.2%`, `$99.00`, `+1 (312) 847-1928`.
+- **Placeholder company names like "Acme Corp", "Nexus", "SmartFlow".** Invent contextual, believable brand names.
+- **AI copywriting cliches.** Never use "Elevate", "Seamless", "Unleash", "Next-Gen", "Game-changer", "Delve", "Tapestry", or "In the world of...". Write plain, specific language.
+- **Exclamation marks in success messages.** Remove them. Be confident, not loud.
+- **"Oops!" error messages.** Be direct: "Connection failed. Please try again."
+- **Passive voice.** Use active voice: "We couldn't save your changes" instead of "Mistakes were made."
+- **All blog post dates identical.** Randomize dates to appear real.
+- **Same avatar image for multiple users.** Use unique assets for every distinct person.
+- **Lorem Ipsum.** Never use placeholder latin text. Write real draft copy.
+- **Title Case On Every Header.** Use sentence case instead.
+
+### Component Patterns
+
+- **Generic card look (border + shadow + white background).** Remove the border, or use only background color, or use only spacing. Cards should exist only when elevation communicates hierarchy.
+- **Always one filled button + one ghost button.** Add text links or tertiary styles to reduce visual noise.
+- **Pill-shaped "New" and "Beta" badges.** Try square badges, flags, or plain text labels.
+- **Accordion FAQ sections.** Use a side-by-side list, searchable help, or inline progressive disclosure.
+- **3-card carousel testimonials with dots.** Replace with a masonry wall, embedded social posts, or a single rotating quote.
+- **Pricing table with 3 towers.** Highlight the recommended tier with color and emphasis, not just extra height.
+- **Modals for everything.** Use inline editing, slide-over panels, or expandable sections instead of popups for simple actions.
+- **Avatar circles exclusively.** Try squircles or rounded squares for a less generic look.
+- **Light/dark toggle always a sun/moon switch.** Use a dropdown, system preference detection, or integrate it into settings.
+- **Footer link farm with 4 columns.** Simplify. Focus on main navigational paths and legally required links.
+
+### Iconography
+
+- **Lucide or Feather icons exclusively.** These are the "default" AI icon choice. Use Phosphor, Heroicons, or a custom set for differentiation.
+- **Rocketship for "Launch", shield for "Security".** Replace cliche metaphors with less obvious icons (bolt, fingerprint, spark, vault).
+- **Inconsistent stroke widths across icons.** Audit all icons and standardize to one stroke weight.
+- **Missing favicon.** Always include a branded favicon.
+- **Stock "diverse team" photos.** Use real team photos, candid shots, or a consistent illustration style instead of uncanny stock imagery.
+
+### Code Quality
+
+- **Div soup.** Use semantic HTML: `<nav>`, `<main>`, `<article>`, `<aside>`, `<section>`.
+- **Inline styles mixed with CSS classes.** Move all styling to the project's styling system.
+- **Hardcoded pixel widths.** Use relative units (`%`, `rem`, `em`, `max-width`) for flexible layouts.
+- **Missing alt text on images.** Describe image content for screen readers. Never leave `alt=""` or `alt="image"` on meaningful images.
+- **Arbitrary z-index values like `9999`.** Establish a clean z-index scale in the theme/variables.
+- **Commented-out dead code.** Remove all debug artifacts before shipping.
+- **Import hallucinations.** Check that every import actually exists in `package.json` or the project dependencies.
+- **Missing meta tags.** Add proper `<title>`, `description`, `og:image`, and social sharing meta tags.
+
+### Strategic Omissions (What AI Typically Forgets)
+
+- **No legal links.** Add privacy policy and terms of service links in the footer.
+- **No "back" navigation.** Dead ends in user flows. Every page needs a way back.
+- **No custom 404 page.** Design a helpful, branded "page not found" experience.
+- **No form validation.** Add client-side validation for emails, required fields, and format checks.
+- **No "skip to content" link.** Essential for keyboard users. Add a hidden skip-link.
+- **No cookie consent.** If required by jurisdiction, add a compliant consent banner.
+
+## Upgrade Techniques
+
+When upgrading a project, pull from these high-impact techniques to replace generic patterns:
+
+### Typography Upgrades
+- **Variable font animation.** Interpolate weight or width on scroll or hover for text that feels alive.
+- **Outlined-to-fill transitions.** Text starts as a stroke outline and fills with color on scroll entry or interaction.
+- **Text mask reveals.** Large typography acting as a window to video or animated imagery behind it.
+
+### Layout Upgrades
+- **Broken grid / asymmetry.** Elements that deliberately ignore column structure — overlapping, bleeding off-screen, or offset with calculated randomness.
+- **Whitespace maximization.** Aggressive use of negative space to force focus on a single element.
+- **Parallax card stacks.** Sections that stick and physically stack over each other during scroll.
+- **Split-screen scroll.** Two halves of the screen sliding in opposite directions.
+
+### Motion Upgrades
+- **Smooth scroll with inertia.** Decouple scrolling from browser defaults for a heavier, cinematic feel.
+- **Staggered entry.** Elements cascade in with slight delays, combining Y-axis translation with opacity fade. Never mount everything at once.
+- **Spring physics.** Replace linear easing with spring-based motion for a natural, weighty feel on all interactive elements.
+- **Scroll-driven reveals.** Content entering through expanding masks, wipes, or draw-on SVG paths tied to scroll progress.
+
+### Surface Upgrades
+- **True glassmorphism.** Go beyond `backdrop-filter: blur`. Add a 1px inner border and a subtle inner shadow to simulate edge refraction.
+- **Spotlight borders.** Card borders that illuminate dynamically under the cursor.
+- **Grain and noise overlays.** A fixed, pointer-events-none overlay with subtle noise to break digital flatness.
+- **Colored, tinted shadows.** Shadows that carry the hue of the background rather than using generic black.
+
+## Fix Priority
+
+Apply changes in this order for maximum visual impact with minimum risk:
+
+1. **Font swap** — biggest instant improvement, lowest risk
+2. **Color palette cleanup** — remove clashing or oversaturated colors
+3. **Hover and active states** — makes the interface feel alive
+4. **Layout and spacing** — proper grid, max-width, consistent padding
+5. **Replace generic components** — swap cliche patterns for modern alternatives
+6. **Add loading, empty, and error states** — makes it feel finished
+7. **Polish typography scale and spacing** — the premium final touch
+
+## Rules
+
+- Work with the existing tech stack. Do not migrate frameworks or styling libraries.
+- Do not break existing functionality. Test after every change.
+- Before importing any new library, check the project's dependency file first.
+- If the project uses Tailwind, check the version (v3 vs v4) before modifying config.
+- If the project has no framework, use vanilla CSS.
+- Keep changes reviewable and focused. Small, targeted improvements over big rewrites.

+description: Senior UI/UX Engineer. Architect digital interfaces overriding default LLM biases. Enforces metric-based rules, strict component architecture, CSS hardware acceleration, and balanced design engineering.
+---
+
+# High-Agency Frontend Skill
+
+## 1. ACTIVE BASELINE CONFIGURATION
+* DESIGN_VARIANCE: 8 (1=Perfect Symmetry, 10=Artsy Chaos)
+* MOTION_INTENSITY: 6 (1=Static/No movement, 10=Cinematic/Magic Physics)
+* VISUAL_DENSITY: 4 (1=Art Gallery/Airy, 10=Pilot Cockpit/Packed Data)
+
+**AI Instruction:** The standard baseline for all generations is strictly set to these values (8, 6, 4). Do not ask the user to edit this file. Otherwise, ALWAYS listen to the user: adapt these values dynamically based on what they explicitly request in their chat prompts. Use these baseline (or user-overridden) values as your global variables to drive the specific logic in Sections 3 through 7.
+
+## 2. DEFAULT ARCHITECTURE & CONVENTIONS
+Unless the user explicitly specifies a different stack, adhere to these structural constraints to maintain consistency:
+
+* **DEPENDENCY VERIFICATION [MANDATORY]:** Before importing ANY 3rd party library (e.g. `framer-motion`, `lucide-react`, `zustand`), you MUST check `package.json`. If the package is missing, you MUST output the installation command (e.g. `npm install package-name`) before providing the code. **Never** assume a library exists.
+* **Framework & Interactivity:** React or Next.js. Default to Server Components (`RSC`). 
+    * **RSC SAFETY:** Global state works ONLY in Client Components. In Next.js, wrap providers in a `"use client"` component.
+    * **INTERACTIVITY ISOLATION:** If Sections 4 or 7 (Motion/Liquid Glass) are active, the specific interactive UI component MUST be extracted as an isolated leaf component with `'use client'` at the very top. Server Components must exclusively render static layouts.
+* **State Management:** Use local `useState`/`useReducer` for isolated UI. Use global state strictly for deep prop-drilling avoidance.
+* **Styling Policy:** Use Tailwind CSS (v3/v4) for 90% of styling. 
+    * **TAILWIND VERSION LOCK:** Check `package.json` first. Do not use v4 syntax in v3 projects. 
+    * **T4 CONFIG GUARD:** For v4, do NOT use `tailwindcss` plugin in `postcss.config.js`. Use `@tailwindcss/postcss` or the Vite plugin.
+* **ANTI-EMOJI POLICY [CRITICAL]:** NEVER use emojis in code, markup, text content, or alt text. Replace symbols with high-quality icons (Radix, Phosphor) or clean SVG primitives. Emojis are BANNED.
+* **Responsiveness & Spacing:**
+  * Standardize breakpoints (`sm`, `md`, `lg`, `xl`).
+  * Contain page layouts using `max-w-[1400px] mx-auto` or `max-w-7xl`.
+  * **Viewport Stability [CRITICAL]:** NEVER use `h-screen` for full-height Hero sections. ALWAYS use `min-h-[100dvh]` to prevent catastrophic layout jumping on mobile browsers (iOS Safari).
+  * **Grid over Flex-Math:** NEVER use complex flexbox percentage math (`w-[calc(33%-1rem)]`). ALWAYS use CSS Grid (`grid grid-cols-1 md:grid-cols-3 gap-6`) for reliable structures.
+* **Icons:** You MUST use exactly `@phosphor-icons/react` or `@radix-ui/react-icons` as the import paths (check installed version). Standardize `strokeWidth` globally (e.g., exclusively use `1.5` or `2.0`).
+
+
+## 3. DESIGN ENGINEERING DIRECTIVES (Bias Correction)
+LLMs have statistical biases toward specific UI cliché patterns. Proactively construct premium interfaces using these engineered rules:
+
+**Rule 1: Deterministic Typography**
+* **Display/Headlines:** Default to `text-4xl md:text-6xl tracking-tighter leading-none`.
+    * **ANTI-SLOP:** Discourage `Inter` for "Premium" or "Creative" vibes. Force unique character using `Geist`, `Outfit`, `Cabinet Grotesk`, or `Satoshi`.
+    * **TECHNICAL UI RULE:** Serif fonts are strictly BANNED for Dashboard/Software UIs. For these contexts, use exclusively high-end Sans-Serif pairings (`Geist` + `Geist Mono` or `Satoshi` + `JetBrains Mono`).
+* **Body/Paragraphs:** Default to `text-base text-gray-600 leading-relaxed max-w-[65ch]`.
+
+**Rule 2: Color Calibration**
+* **Constraint:** Max 1 Accent Color. Saturation < 80%.
+* **THE LILA BAN:** The "AI Purple/Blue" aesthetic is strictly BANNED. No purple button glows, no neon gradients. Use absolute neutral bases (Zinc/Slate) with high-contrast, singular accents (e.g. Emerald, Electric Blue, or Deep Rose).
+* **COLOR CONSISTENCY:** Stick to one palette for the entire output. Do not fluctuate between warm and cool grays within the same project.
+
+**Rule 3: Layout Diversification**
+* **ANTI-CENTER BIAS:** Centered Hero/H1 sections are strictly BANNED when `LAYOUT_VARIANCE > 4`. Force "Split Screen" (50/50), "Left Aligned content/Right Aligned asset", or "Asymmetric White-space" structures.
+
+**Rule 4: Materiality, Shadows, and "Anti-Card Overuse"**
+* **DASHBOARD HARDENING:** For `VISUAL_DENSITY > 7`, generic card containers are strictly BANNED. Use logic-grouping via `border-t`, `divide-y`, or purely negative space. Data metrics should breathe without being boxed in unless elevation (z-index) is functionally required.
+* **Execution:** Use cards ONLY when elevation communicates hierarchy. When a shadow is used, tint it to the background hue.
+
+**Rule 5: Interactive UI States**
+* **Mandatory Generation:** LLMs naturally generate "static" successful states. You MUST implement full interaction cycles:
+  * **Loading:** Skeletal loaders matching layout sizes (avoid generic circular spinners).
+  * **Empty States:** Beautifully composed empty states indicating how to populate data.
+  * **Error States:** Clear, inline error reporting (e.g., forms).
+  * **Tactile Feedback:** On `:active`, use `-translate-y-[1px]` or `scale-[0.98]` to simulate a physical push indicating success/action.
+
+**Rule 6: Data & Form Patterns**
+* **Forms:** Label MUST sit above input. Helper text is optional but should exist in markup. Error text below input. Use a standard `gap-2` for input blocks.
+
+## 4. CREATIVE PROACTIVITY (Anti-Slop Implementation)
+To actively combat generic AI designs, systematically implement these high-end coding concepts as your baseline:
+* **"Liquid Glass" Refraction:** When glassmorphism is needed, go beyond `backdrop-blur`. Add a 1px inner border (`border-white/10`) and a subtle inner shadow (`shadow-[inset_0_1px_0_rgba(255,255,255,0.1)]`) to simulate physical edge refraction.
+* **Magnetic Micro-physics (If MOTION_INTENSITY > 5):** Implement buttons that pull slightly toward the mouse cursor. **CRITICAL:** NEVER use React `useState` for magnetic hover or continuous animations. Use EXCLUSIVELY Framer Motion's `useMotionValue` and `useTransform` outside the React render cycle to prevent performance collapse on mobile.
+* **Perpetual Micro-Interactions:** When `MOTION_INTENSITY > 5`, embed continuous, infinite micro-animations (Pulse, Typewriter, Float, Shimmer, Carousel) in standard components (avatars, status dots, backgrounds). Apply premium Spring Physics (`type: "spring", stiffness: 100, damping: 20`) to all interactive elements—no linear easing.
+* **Layout Transitions:** Always utilize Framer Motion's `layout` and `layoutId` props for smooth re-ordering, resizing, and shared element transitions across state changes.
+* **Staggered Orchestration:** Do not mount lists or grids instantly. Use `staggerChildren` (Framer) or CSS cascade (`animation-delay: calc(var(--index) * 100ms)`) to create sequential waterfall reveals. **CRITICAL:** For `staggerChildren`, the Parent (`variants`) and Children MUST reside in the identical Client Component tree. If data is fetched asynchronously, pass the data as props into a centralized Parent Motion wrapper.
+
+## 5. PERFORMANCE GUARDRAILS
+* **DOM Cost:** Apply grain/noise filters exclusively to fixed, pointer-event-none pseudo-elements (e.g., `fixed inset-0 z-50 pointer-events-none`) and NEVER to scrolling containers to prevent continuous GPU repaints and mobile performance degradation.
+* **Hardware Acceleration:** Never animate `top`, `left`, `width`, or `height`. Animate exclusively via `transform` and `opacity`.
+* **Z-Index Restraint:** NEVER spam arbitrary `z-50` or `z-10` unprompted. Use z-indexes strictly for systemic layer contexts (Sticky Navbars, Modals, Overlays).
+
+## 6. TECHNICAL REFERENCE (Dial Definitions)
+
+### DESIGN_VARIANCE (Level 1-10)
+* **1-3 (Predictable):** Flexbox `justify-center`, strict 12-column symmetrical grids, equal paddings.
+* **4-7 (Offset):** Use `margin-top: -2rem` overlapping, varied image aspect ratios (e.g., 4:3 next to 16:9), left-aligned headers over center-aligned data.
+* **8-10 (Asymmetric):** Masonry layouts, CSS Grid with fractional units (e.g., `grid-template-columns: 2fr 1fr 1fr`), massive empty zones (`padding-left: 20vw`). 
+* **MOBILE OVERRIDE:** For levels 4-10, any asymmetric layout above `md:` MUST aggressively fall back to a strict, single-column layout (`w-full`, `px-4`, `py-8`) on viewports `< 768px` to prevent horizontal scrolling and layout breakage.
+
+### MOTION_INTENSITY (Level 1-10)
+* **1-3 (Static):** No automatic animations. CSS `:hover` and `:active` states only.
+* **4-7 (Fluid CSS):** Use `transition: all 0.3s cubic-bezier(0.16, 1, 0.3, 1)`. Use `animation-delay` cascades for load-ins. Focus strictly on `transform` and `opacity`. Use `will-change: transform` sparingly.
+* **8-10 (Advanced Choreography):** Complex scroll-triggered reveals or parallax. Use Framer Motion hooks. NEVER use `window.addEventListener('scroll')`.
+
+### VISUAL_DENSITY (Level 1-10)
+* **1-3 (Art Gallery Mode):** Lots of white space. Huge section gaps. Everything feels very expensive and clean.
+* **4-7 (Daily App Mode):** Normal spacing for standard web apps.
+* **8-10 (Cockpit Mode):** Tiny paddings. No card boxes; just 1px lines to separate data. Everything is packed. **Mandatory:** Use Monospace (`font-mono`) for all numbers.
+
+## 7. AI TELLS (Forbidden Patterns)
+To guarantee a premium, non-generic output, you MUST strictly avoid these common AI design signatures unless explicitly requested:
+
+### Visual & CSS
+* **NO Neon/Outer Glows:** Do not use default `box-shadow` glows or auto-glows. Use inner borders or subtle tinted shadows.
+* **NO Pure Black:** Never use `#000000`. Use Off-Black, Zinc-950, or Charcoal.
+* **NO Oversaturated Accents:** Desaturate accents to blend elegantly with neutrals.
+* **NO Excessive Gradient Text:** Do not use text-fill gradients for large headers.
+* **NO Custom Mouse Cursors:** They are outdated and ruin performance/accessibility.
+
+### Typography
+* **NO Inter Font:** Banned. Use `Geist`, `Outfit`, `Cabinet Grotesk`, or `Satoshi`.
+* **NO Oversized H1s:** The first heading should not scream. Control hierarchy with weight and color, not just massive scale.
+* **Serif Constraints:** Use Serif fonts ONLY for creative/editorial designs. **NEVER** use Serif on clean Dashboards.
+
+### Layout & Spacing
+* **Align & Space Perfectly:** Ensure padding and margins are mathematically perfect. Avoid floating elements with awkward gaps.
+* **NO 3-Column Card Layouts:** The generic "3 equal cards horizontally" feature row is BANNED. Use a 2-column Zig-Zag, asymmetric grid, or horizontal scrolling approach instead.
+
+### Content & Data (The "Jane Doe" Effect)
+* **NO Generic Names:** "John Doe", "Sarah Chan", or "Jack Su" are banned. Use highly creative, realistic-sounding names.
+* **NO Generic Avatars:** DO NOT use standard SVG "egg" or Lucide user icons for avatars. Use creative, believable photo placeholders or specific styling.
+* **NO Fake Numbers:** Avoid predictable outputs like `99.99%`, `50%`, or basic phone numbers (`1234567`). Use organic, messy data (`47.2%`, `+1 (312) 847-1928`).
+* **NO Startup Slop Names:** "Acme", "Nexus", "SmartFlow". Invent premium, contextual brand names.
+* **NO Filler Words:** Avoid AI copywriting clichés like "Elevate", "Seamless", "Unleash", or "Next-Gen". Use concrete verbs.
+
+### External Resources & Components
+* **NO Broken Unsplash Links:** Do not use Unsplash. Use absolute, reliable placeholders like `https://picsum.photos/seed/{random_string}/800/600` or SVG UI Avatars.
+* **shadcn/ui Customization:** You may use `shadcn/ui`, but NEVER in its generic default state. You MUST customize the radii, colors, and shadows to match the high-end project aesthetic.
+* **Production-Ready Cleanliness:** Code must be extremely clean, visually striking, memorable, and meticulously refined in every detail.
+
+## 8. THE CREATIVE ARSENAL (High-End Inspiration)
+Do not default to generic UI. Pull from this library of advanced concepts to ensure the output is visually striking and memorable. When appropriate, leverage **GSAP (ScrollTrigger/Parallax)** for complex scrolltelling or **ThreeJS/WebGL** for 3D/Canvas animations, rather than basic CSS motion. **CRITICAL:** Never mix GSAP/ThreeJS with Framer Motion in the same component tree. Default to Framer Motion for UI/Bento interactions. Use GSAP/ThreeJS EXCLUSIVELY for isolated full-page scrolltelling or canvas backgrounds, wrapped in strict useEffect cleanup blocks.

+### The Standard Hero Paradigm
+* Stop doing centered text over a dark image. Try asymmetric Hero sections: Text cleanly aligned to the left or right. The background should feature a high-quality, relevant image with a subtle stylistic fade (darkening or lightening gracefully into the background color depending on if it is Light or Dark mode).

+
+## 9. THE "MOTION-ENGINE" BENTO PARADIGM
+When generating modern SaaS dashboards or feature sections, you MUST utilize the following "Bento 2.0" architecture and motion philosophy. This goes beyond static cards and enforces a "Vercel-core meets Dribbble-clean" aesthetic heavily reliant on perpetual physics.
+
+### A. Core Design Philosophy
+* **Aesthetic:** High-end, minimal, and functional.
+* **Palette:** Background in `#f9fafb`. Cards are pure white (`#ffffff`) with a 1px border of `border-slate-200/50`.
+* **Surfaces:** Use `rounded-[2.5rem]` for all major containers. Apply a "diffusion shadow" (a very light, wide-spreading shadow, e.g., `shadow-[0_20px_40px_-15px_rgba(0,0,0,0.05)]`) to create depth without clutter.
+* **Typography:** Strict `Geist`, `Satoshi`, or `Cabinet Grotesk` font stack. Use subtle tracking (`tracking-tight`) for headers.
+* **Labels:** Titles and descriptions must be placed **outside and below** the cards to maintain a clean, gallery-style presentation.
+* **Pixel-Perfection:** Use generous `p-8` or `p-10` padding inside cards.
+
+### B. The Animation Engine Specs (Perpetual Motion)
+All cards must contain **"Perpetual Micro-Interactions."** Use the following Framer Motion principles:
+* **Spring Physics:** No linear easing. Use `type: "spring", stiffness: 100, damping: 20` for a premium, weighty feel.
+* **Layout Transitions:** Heavily utilize the `layout` and `layoutId` props to ensure smooth re-ordering, resizing, and shared element state transitions.
+* **Infinite Loops:** Every card must have an "Active State" that loops infinitely (Pulse, Typewriter, Float, or Carousel) to ensure the dashboard feels "alive".
+* **Performance:** Wrap dynamic lists in `<AnimatePresence>` and optimize for 60fps. **PERFORMANCE CRITICAL:** Any perpetual motion or infinite loop MUST be memoized (React.memo) and completely isolated in its own microscopic Client Component. Never trigger re-renders in the parent layout.
+
+### C. The 5-Card Archetypes (Micro-Animation Specs)
+Implement these specific micro-animations when constructing Bento grids (e.g., Row 1: 3 cols | Row 2: 2 cols split 70/30):
+1. **The Intelligent List:** A vertical stack of items with an infinite auto-sorting loop. Items swap positions using `layoutId`, simulating an AI prioritizing tasks in real-time.
+2. **The Command Input:** A search/AI bar with a multi-step Typewriter Effect. It cycles through complex prompts, including a blinking cursor and a "processing" state with a shimmering loading gradient.
+3. **The Live Status:** A scheduling interface with "breathing" status indicators. Include a pop-up notification badge that emerges with an "Overshoot" spring effect, stays for 3 seconds, and vanishes.
+4. **The Wide Data Stream:** A horizontal "Infinite Carousel" of data cards or metrics. Ensure the loop is seamless (using `x: ["0%", "-100%"]`) with a speed that feels effortless.
+5. **The Contextual UI (Focus Mode):** A document view that animates a staggered highlight of a text block, followed by a "Float-in" of a floating action toolbar with micro-icons.
+
+## 10. FINAL PRE-FLIGHT CHECK
+Evaluate your code against this matrix before outputting. This is the **last** filter you apply to your logic.
+- [ ] Is global state used appropriately to avoid deep prop-drilling rather than arbitrarily?
+- [ ] Is mobile layout collapse (`w-full`, `px-4`, `max-w-7xl mx-auto`) guaranteed for high-variance designs?
+- [ ] Do full-height sections safely use `min-h-[100dvh]` instead of the bugged `h-screen`?
+- [ ] Do `useEffect` animations contain strict cleanup functions?
+- [ ] Are empty, loading, and error states provided?
+- [ ] Are cards omitted in favor of spacing where possible?
+- [ ] Did you strictly isolate CPU-heavy perpetual animations in their own Client Components?
