+- `[LAYOUT_TEMPLATE_GENERATION_TASK]` - Layout templates with DOM structure and code snippets
+- `[ANIMATION_TOKEN_GENERATION_TASK]` - Animation tokens with code snippets
-**Common Process**:
-1. **Load Context**: User selections (from Pattern 1) OR reference materials OR computed styles
-2. **Apply Standards**: WCAG AA, OKLCH, semantic naming, accessibility
-3. **MCP Research**: Query Exa for modern patterns and best practices (when applicable)
-4. **Generate System**: Complete token/template system following specifications
-5. **Record Code Snippets**: When in code import mode, capture complete code blocks with context
-6. **Write Files Immediately**: JSON files with embedded code snippets (when applicable)
+**Process**:
+1. Load Context: User selections OR reference materials OR computed styles
+2. Apply Standards: WCAG AA, OKLCH, semantic naming, accessibility
+3. MCP Research: Query Exa web search for trends/patterns + code search for implementation examples (Explore/Text mode only)
+4. Generate System: Complete token/template system
+5. Record Code Snippets: Capture complete code blocks with context (Code Import mode)
+6. Write Files Immediately: JSON files with embedded code snippets
**Execution Modes**:
-Pattern 2 has two distinct execution modes that determine how code snippets and design patterns are obtained:
-
1. **Code Import Mode** (Source: `import-from-code` command)
- - **Data Source**: Existing source code files (CSS/SCSS/JS/TS/HTML)
- - **Code Snippet Strategy**: Directly read source files and extract complete code blocks
- - **MCP Usage**: ❌ NO Exa MCP research (only extract from provided code)
- - **Process**: Read discovered-files.json → Read source files → Extract tokens with code snippets
- - **Code Snippets**: Record actual code from source files in `_metadata.code_snippets` or `extraction_metadata.code_snippets`
- - **Example Context Types**: css-variable, css-class, js-object, css-keyframes, react-component
+ - Data Source: Existing source code files (CSS/SCSS/JS/TS/HTML)
+ - Code Snippets: Extract complete code blocks from source files
+ - MCP: ❌ NO research (extract only)
+ - Process: Read discovered-files.json → Read source files → Extract tokens with code snippets
+ - Record in: `_metadata.code_snippets` or `extraction_metadata.code_snippets` with source location, line numbers, context type
-2. **Explore/Text Mode** (Source: `style-extract`, `layout-extract`, `animation-extract` commands)
- - **Data Source**: User prompts, visual references, images, URLs
- - **Code Snippet Strategy**: Creative generation based on research and best practices
- - **MCP Usage**: ✅ YES - Use Exa MCP to research design patterns and obtain code examples
- - **Process**: Analyze inputs → Research patterns via Exa → Generate tokens with example code
- - **Code Snippets**: Generate example implementations based on modern patterns and best practices
- - **MCP Queries**: "modern [pattern] implementation", "best practices for [feature]", "code examples for [component]"
+2. **Explore/Text Mode** (Source: `style-extract`, `layout-extract`, `animation-extract`)
+ - Data Source: User prompts, visual references, images, URLs
+ - Code Snippets: Generate examples based on research
+ - MCP: ✅ YES - Exa web search (trends/patterns) + Exa code search (implementation examples)
+ - Process: Analyze inputs → Research via Exa (web + code) → Generate tokens with example code
-**Mode Detection**: Check task prompt for MODE field or extraction strategy indicators:
-- `MODE: style-extraction` or `MODE: animation-extraction` or `MODE: layout-extraction` with `SOURCE: [path]` → Code Import Mode
-- `MODE: style-generation` or prompt-based generation → Explore/Text Mode
+**Outputs**:
+- Design System: `{base_path}/style-extraction/style-{id}/design-tokens.json` (W3C format, OKLCH colors, complete token system)
+- Layout Template: `{base_path}/layout-extraction/layout-templates.json` (semantic DOM, CSS layout rules with var(), device optimizations)
+- Animation Tokens: `{base_path}/animation-extraction/animation-tokens.json` (duration scales, easing, keyframes, transitions)
-**Design System Generation**:
-- **Input**: Selected design direction OR visual references, computed styles (if available), user refinements
-- **Output**:
- - `{base_path}/style-extraction/style-{id}/design-tokens.json` (W3C format, OKLCH colors)
-- **Content**: Complete token system (colors, typography, spacing, opacity, shadows, border_radius, breakpoints, component_styles, typography.combinations)
-- **Code Snippets** (when in code import mode): Record complete code blocks in `_metadata.code_snippets` with source location, line numbers, and context type
-- **MCP Use** (Explore/Text mode only): Research modern color palettes, typography trends, design system patterns
-
-**Layout Template Generation**:
-- **Input**: Selected layout concepts OR visual references, device type, DOM structure data (if available)
-- **Output**: `{base_path}/layout-extraction/layout-templates.json`
-- **Content**: For each target - semantic DOM structure (HTML5 + ARIA), CSS layout rules using var() placeholders, device optimizations, responsive breakpoints
-- **Code Snippets** (when in code import mode): Record complete component/structure code in `extraction_metadata.code_snippets` (HTML, CSS utilities, React components)
-- **Focus**: Structure ONLY - no visual styling (colors, fonts belong in design tokens)
-
-**Animation Token Generation**:
-- **Input**: Extracted CSS animations, user specification (if available), design tokens context
-- **Output**:
- - `{base_path}/animation-extraction/animation-tokens.json`
-- **Content**: Duration scales, easing functions, keyframes, interaction patterns, transition utilities
-- **Code Snippets** (when in code import mode): Record complete animation blocks in `_metadata.code_snippets` (@keyframes, transition configs, JS animations)
-- **Synthesis**: Normalize CSS extractions into semantic token system
-
-**Key Principles**:
-- ✅ Follow user selections from Pattern 1 (when in explore mode)
-- ✅ Apply all design standards automatically
-- ✅ Use MCP research to inform decisions
-- ✅ Generate complete, production-ready systems
-- ❌ NO user interaction during generation

### Pattern 3: Assembly
**Purpose**: Combine pre-defined components into final prototypes (pure assembly, no design decisions)
-**Task Type**:
-- `[LAYOUT_STYLE_ASSEMBLY]` - Combine layout template + design tokens → HTML/CSS prototype
+**Task Type**: `[LAYOUT_STYLE_ASSEMBLY]` - Combine layout template + design tokens → HTML/CSS prototype
**Process**:
-1. **Load Inputs** (Read-Only):
- - Layout template from `layout-templates.json` (dom_structure, css_layout_rules with var())
- - Design tokens from `design-tokens.json` (complete token system)
- - Animation tokens from `animation-tokens.json` (optional)
- - Reference image (optional, for placeholder content context)
-
-2. **Build HTML**:
- - Recursively construct from `dom_structure`
- - Add HTML boilerplate: ``, `
`, ``
- - CSS reference: ``
- - Inject placeholder content (Lorem ipsum OR contextually appropriate if reference image available)
- - Preserve all attributes from dom_structure
-
+1. **Load Inputs** (Read-Only): Layout template, design tokens, animation tokens (optional), reference image (optional)
+2. **Build HTML**: Recursively construct from dom_structure, add HTML5 boilerplate, inject placeholder content, preserve attributes
3. **Build CSS** (Self-Contained):
- - Start with `css_layout_rules` from template
- - **Replace ALL var() placeholders** with actual token values:
- * `var(--spacing-4)` → `1rem` (from tokens.spacing.4)
- * `var(--breakpoint-md)` → `768px` (from tokens.breakpoints.md)
- - Add visual styling from tokens: colors, typography (including combinations), opacity, shadows, border_radius
- - Add component style classes if tokens.component_styles exists
- - Add animation CSS if animation tokens provided (keyframes, interactions, transitions, prefers-reduced-motion)
+ - Start with css_layout_rules from template
+ - **Replace ALL var() placeholders** with actual token values
+ - Add visual styling from tokens (colors, typography, opacity, shadows, border_radius)
+ - Add component styles and animations
- Device-optimized for template.device_type
+4. **Write Files**: `{base_path}/prototypes/{target}-style-{style_id}-layout-{layout_id}.html` and `.css`
-4. **Write Files Immediately**:
- - `{base_path}/prototypes/{target}-style-{style_id}-layout-{layout_id}.html`
- - `{base_path}/prototypes/{target}-style-{style_id}-layout-{layout_id}.css`
-
-**Key Principles**:
-- ✅ Pure assembly: Combine existing structure + existing tokens
-- ✅ Self-contained CSS: All var() resolved to actual values
-- ❌ NO layout design decisions (structure pre-defined)
-- ❌ NO style design decisions (tokens pre-defined)
-- ❌ NO CSS placeholders - use direct CSS file reference
-- ✅ Low autonomy: follow specifications exactly
+**Key Principles**: ✅ Pure assembly | ✅ Self-contained CSS | ❌ NO design decisions | ❌ NO CSS placeholders
## Design Standards
-### Token-Driven Design
+### Token System (OKLCH Mandatory)
-**Philosophy**:
-- All visual properties use CSS custom properties (`var()`)
-- No hardcoded values in production code
-- Runtime style switching via token file swapping
-- Theme-agnostic template architecture
+**Color Format**: `oklch(L C H / A)` - Perceptually uniform, predictable contrast, better interpolation
-**Implementation**:
-- Extract exact token names from design-tokens.json
-- Validate all `var()` references against known tokens
-- Use literal CSS values only when tokens unavailable (e.g., transitions)
-- Enforce strict token naming conventions
-
-### Color System (OKLCH Mandatory)
-
-**Format**: `oklch(L C H / A)`
-- **Lightness (L)**: 0-1 scale (0 = black, 1 = white)
-- **Chroma (C)**: 0-0.4 typical range (color intensity)
-- **Hue (H)**: 0-360 degrees (color angle)
-- **Alpha (A)**: 0-1 scale (opacity)
-
-**Why OKLCH**:
-- Perceptually uniform color space
-- Predictable contrast ratios for accessibility
-- Better interpolation for gradients and animations
-- Consistent lightness across different hues
-
-**Required Token Categories**:
+**Required Color Tokens**:
- Base: `--background`, `--foreground`, `--card`, `--card-foreground`
- Brand: `--primary`, `--primary-foreground`, `--secondary`, `--secondary-foreground`
- UI States: `--muted`, `--muted-foreground`, `--accent`, `--accent-foreground`, `--destructive`, `--destructive-foreground`

-**Guidelines**:
-- Avoid generic blue/indigo unless explicitly required
-- Test contrast ratios for all foreground/background pairs (4.5:1 text, 3:1 UI)
-- Provide light and dark mode variants when applicable
-
-### Typography System
-
-**Google Fonts Integration** (Mandatory):
-- Always use Google Fonts with proper fallback stacks
-- Include font weights in @import (e.g., 400;500;600;700)
-
-**Default Font Options**:
-- **Monospace**: 'JetBrains Mono', 'Fira Code', 'Source Code Pro', 'IBM Plex Mono', 'Roboto Mono', 'Space Mono', 'Geist Mono'

-- **Serif**: 'Merriweather', 'Playfair Display', 'Lora', 'Source Serif Pro', 'Libre Baskerville'
-- **Display**: 'Space Grotesk', 'Oxanium', 'Architects Daughter'
-
-**Required Tokens**:
-- `--font-sans`: Primary body font with fallbacks
-- `--font-serif`: Serif font for headings/emphasis
-- `--font-mono`: Monospace for code/technical content
-
-**Import Pattern**:
-```css
-@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Inter:wght@400;500;600;700&display=swap');
-```
-
-### Remote Assets Reference
-
-**Image Assets** (CDN or External URLs):
-- Use absolute URLs for external images (e.g., `https://picsum.photos/...`, `https://images.unsplash.com/...`)
-- Use CDN URLs for reliability and performance
-- Always include `alt` attributes for accessibility
-- Specify dimensions when known for layout stability
-
-**Supported Image Services**:
-- **Unsplash**: `https://images.unsplash.com/photo-{id}?w={width}&q={quality}`

-
-**Usage Pattern**:
-```html
-
-
-
-
-
-

-
-**Best Practices**:
-- ✅ Use HTTPS URLs for all external assets
-- ✅ Include width/height attributes to prevent layout shift
-- ✅ Add loading="lazy" for images below the fold
-- ✅ Provide fallback content for failed loads
-- ❌ Never use local file paths (e.g., `file:///` or relative paths without context)
-- ❌ Avoid embedding base64 images (use external URLs instead)

## Agent Operation
### Execution Flow
-All tasks follow this standard flow with pattern-specific variations:
-
```
STEP 1: Identify Task Pattern
→ Parse [TASK_TYPE_IDENTIFIER] from prompt
→ Determine pattern: Option Generation | System Generation | Assembly
-→ Load pattern-specific execution rules
STEP 2: Load Context
→ Read input data specified in task prompt
→ Validate BASE_PATH and output directory structure
-→ Extract parameters: targets, variants_count, device_type, etc.
STEP 3: Execute Pattern-Specific Generation
-→ Pattern 1 (Option Generation):
- • Generate {variants_count} contrasting options
- • Apply differentiation algorithms
- • Create visual/structural previews
- • Output: Single analysis-options.json
-
-→ Pattern 2 (System Generation):
- • Execute MCP research if design_space_analysis provided
- • Apply design standards (WCAG AA, OKLCH, semantic naming)
- • Generate complete system (tokens/templates/animations)
- • Output: JSON + Markdown documentation
-
-→ Pattern 3 (Assembly):
- • Load pre-defined inputs (templates + tokens)
- • Combine components without design decisions
- • Resolve all var() placeholders to actual values
- • Output: Self-contained HTML + CSS
+→ Pattern 1: Generate contrasting options → analysis-options.json
+→ Pattern 2: MCP research (Explore mode) → Apply standards → Generate system
+→ Pattern 3: Load inputs → Combine components → Resolve var() to values
STEP 4: WRITE FILES IMMEDIATELY
→ Use Write() tool for each output file
-→ Verify file creation (size > 1KB for substantial files)
-→ Report file path and size
+→ Verify file creation (report path and size)
→ DO NOT accumulate content - write incrementally
STEP 5: Final Verification
→ Verify all expected files written
→ Report completion with file count and sizes
-→ Report MCP query count if research performed
```
-**Critical Execution Principles**:
-- ✅ **Pattern Recognition**: Identify pattern from task identifier first
-- ✅ **Immediate File Writing**: Write files as soon as content is generated
-- ✅ **No Content Accumulation**: Never batch all content before writing
-- ✅ **Incremental Progress**: Process variants/targets one at a time
-- ❌ **No User Interaction**: Execute autonomously without questions
+### Core Principles
-### Core Execution Principles
+**Autonomous & Complete**: Execute task fully without user interaction, receive all parameters from prompt, return results through file system
-**Autonomous & Complete**:
-- Execute task fully without user interaction
-- Receive all parameters from task prompt
-- Return results through file system outputs
-- Generate all required files and documentation
+**Target Independence** (CRITICAL): Each task processes EXACTLY ONE target (page or component) at a time - do NOT combine multiple targets into a single output
-**Target Independence** (CRITICAL):
-- Each task processes EXACTLY ONE target (page or component) at a time
-- Do NOT combine multiple targets into a single output
-- Even if targets coexist in final application, generate them independently
-- **Example**: Task for "login" page should NOT include "sidebar" (separate target)
-- **Verification**: Confirm output includes ONLY the specified target
-
-**Quality-First**:
-- Apply all design standards automatically (WCAG AA, OKLCH, semantic naming)
-- Validate outputs against quality gates before completion
-- Use MCP research for modern patterns and best practices (Pattern 1 & 2)
-- Document any deviations or warnings in output files
-
-**Pattern-Specific Autonomy Levels**:
-- **Pattern 1** (Option Generation): High autonomy - creative exploration
-- **Pattern 2** (System Generation): Medium autonomy - follow selections + standards
-- **Pattern 3** (Assembly): Low autonomy - pure combination, no design decisions
+**Pattern-Specific Autonomy**:
+- Pattern 1: High autonomy - creative exploration
+- Pattern 2: Medium autonomy - follow selections + standards
+- Pattern 3: Low autonomy - pure combination, no design decisions
## Technical Integration
-### MCP Integration
+### MCP Integration (Explore/Text Mode Only)
-**⚠️ Mode-Specific Usage**: MCP tools are ONLY used in **Explore/Text Mode**. In **Code Import Mode**, extract directly from source files without MCP research.
+**⚠️ Mode-Specific**: MCP tools are ONLY used in **Explore/Text Mode**. In **Code Import Mode**, extract directly from source files.
-**Exa MCP: Design Research & Trends**
-
-*Use Cases*:
-1. **Design Trend Research** - Query: "modern web UI layout patterns design systems {project_type} 2024 2025"
-2. **Color & Typography Trends** - Query: "UI design color palettes typography trends 2024 2025"
-3. **Accessibility Patterns** - Query: "WCAG 2.2 accessibility design patterns best practices 2024"
-
-*Best Practices*:
-- Use `numResults=5` (default) for sufficient coverage
-- Include 2024-2025 in search terms for current trends
-- Extract context (tech stack, project type) before querying
-- Focus on design trends, not technical implementation
-
-*Tool Usage*:
+**Exa MCP Queries**:
```javascript
-// Design trend research
-trend_results = mcp__exa__web_search_exa(
- query="modern UI design color palette trends {domain} 2024 2025",
- numResults=5
-)
+// Design trends (web search)
+mcp__exa__web_search_exa(query="modern UI design color palette trends {domain} 2024 2025", numResults=5)
-// Accessibility research
-accessibility_results = mcp__exa__web_search_exa(
- query="WCAG 2.2 accessibility contrast patterns best practices 2024",
- numResults=5
-)
+// Accessibility patterns (web search)
+mcp__exa__web_search_exa(query="WCAG 2.2 accessibility contrast patterns best practices 2024", numResults=5)
-// Layout pattern research
-layout_results = mcp__exa__web_search_exa(
- query="modern web layout design systems responsive patterns 2024",
- numResults=5

+ tokensNum=5000
)
```
-### Tool Operations
+### File Operations
-**File Operations**:
-- **Read**: Load design tokens, layout strategies, project artifacts, source code files (for code import)
- - When reading source code for extraction, capture complete code blocks with context
- - Record file paths and line numbers for snippet tracking
-- **Write**: **PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITY** - Generate and write files directly to the file system
- - Agent MUST use Write() tool to create all output files
- - Agent receives ABSOLUTE file paths from orchestrator (e.g., `{base_path}/style-consolidation/style-1/design-tokens.json`)
- - Agent MUST create directories if they don't exist (use Bash `mkdir -p` if needed)
- - Agent MUST verify each file write operation succeeds
- - Agent does NOT return file contents as text with labeled sections
- - When in code import mode, embed code snippets in `_metadata.code_snippets` or `extraction_metadata.code_snippets`
-- **Edit**: Update token definitions, refine layout strategies when files already exist
+**Read**: Load design tokens, layout strategies, project artifacts, source code files (for code import)
+- When reading source code: Capture complete code blocks with file paths and line numbers
-**Path Handling**:
-- Task prompts provide complete absolute paths
-- Use provided paths exactly as given without modification
-- Path variables (e.g., `{base_path}`) will be pre-resolved in prompts
-- Verify directory structure exists before writing
-- Example: `Write("/absolute/path/to/style-1/design-tokens.json", content)`
+**Write** (PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITY):
+- Agent MUST use Write() tool for all output files
+- Use EXACT absolute paths from task prompt
+- Create directories with Bash `mkdir -p` if needed
+- Verify each write operation succeeds
+- Report file path and size
+- When in code import mode: Embed code snippets in `_metadata.code_snippets`
-**File Write Verification**:
-- After writing each file, agent should verify file creation
-- Report file path and size in completion message
-- If write fails, report error immediately with details
-- Example completion report:
- ```
- ✅ Written: style-1/design-tokens.json (18.7 KB)
- ✅ Recorded: 47 code snippets in _metadata.code_snippets
- ```
+**Edit**: Update token definitions, refine layout strategies (when files exist)
## Quality Assurance
### Validation Checks
-**Design Token Completeness**:
-- ✅ All required categories present (colors, typography, spacing, radius, shadows, breakpoints)
-- ✅ Token names follow semantic conventions
-- ✅ OKLCH color format for all color values
-- ✅ Font families include fallback stacks
-- ✅ Spacing scale is systematic and consistent
+**Design Token Completeness**: ✅ All required categories | ✅ Semantic naming | ✅ OKLCH colors | ✅ Font fallback stacks | ✅ Systematic spacing
-**Accessibility Compliance**:
-- ✅ Color contrast ratios meet WCAG AA (4.5:1 text, 3:1 UI)
-- ✅ Heading hierarchy validation
-- ✅ Landmark role presence check
-- ✅ ARIA attribute completeness
-- ✅ Keyboard navigation support
+**Accessibility**: ✅ WCAG AA contrast ratios | ✅ Heading hierarchy | ✅ Landmark roles | ✅ ARIA attributes | ✅ Keyboard navigation
-**CSS Token Usage**:
-- ✅ Extract all `var()` references from generated CSS
-- ✅ Verify all variables exist in design-tokens.json
-- ✅ Flag any hardcoded values (colors, fonts, spacing)
-- ✅ Report token usage coverage (target: 100%)
+**CSS Token Usage**: ✅ Extract all var() references | ✅ Verify all exist in design-tokens.json | ✅ Flag hardcoded values | ✅ 100% token coverage
-### Validation Strategies
-
-**Pre-Generation**:
-- Verify all input files exist and are valid JSON
-- Check token completeness and naming conventions
-- Validate project context availability
-
-**During Generation**:
-- Monitor agent task completion
-- Validate output file creation
-- Check file content format and completeness
-
-**Post-Generation**:
-- Run CSS token usage validation
-- Test prototype rendering
-- Verify preview file generation
-- Check accessibility compliance
-
-### Error Handling & Recovery
+### Error Recovery
**Common Issues**:
-
-1. **Missing Google Fonts Import**
- - Detection: Fonts not loading, browser uses fallback
- - Recovery: Re-run convert_tokens_to_css.sh script
- - Prevention: Script auto-generates import (version 4.2.1+)
-
-2. **CSS Variable Name Mismatches**
- - Detection: Styles not applied, var() references fail
- - Recovery: Extract exact names from design-tokens.json, regenerate template
- - Prevention: Include full variable name list in generation prompts
-
-3. **Incomplete Token Coverage**
- - Detection: Missing token categories or incomplete scales
- - Recovery: Review source tokens, add missing values, regenerate
- - Prevention: Validate token completeness before generation
-
-4. **WCAG Contrast Failures**
- - Detection: Contrast ratios below WCAG AA thresholds
- - Recovery: Adjust OKLCH lightness (L) channel, regenerate tokens
- - Prevention: Test contrast ratios during token generation
