refactor(ui-design): relocate MCP research from extract to consolidate agent

**Extract Changes:**
- Remove Phase 1.5 MCP trend research (Exa queries)
- Save design-space-analysis.json with search keywords for consolidate
- Update to pure Claude-native analysis (aligns with philosophy)
- Simplify completion todos and output documentation

**Consolidate Changes:**
- Load design-space-analysis.json from extraction phase
- Add Step 1: Variant-Specific Trend Research (MCP) to agent prompt
- Agent performs 4 MCP queries per variant + shared accessibility research
- Refine tokens using trend insights while maintaining variant identity
- Update completion reporting and key features

**Generate Changes:**
- Enhance HTML placeholder documentation with critical warnings
- Add complete HTML template examples (page/component modes)
- Clarify {{STRUCTURAL_CSS}} and {{TOKEN_CSS}} placeholder rules
- Simplify agent completion requirements (remove detailed report format)
- Allow agent to self-report completion status

**Benefits:**
- Extract becomes truly Claude-native (no external tools)
- Consolidate agent handles all MCP research in one place
- Better separation of concerns between phases
- Clearer template generation instructions for agents
- More flexible agent reporting

-# UI Design Auto Workflow Command
-
-## Overview
-Fully autonomous UI design workflow: style extraction → consolidation → UI generation → design update → optional batch planning. This command orchestrates the entire design process without user intervention.
-
-## Coordinator Role
-**Fully autonomous orchestrator**: Executes all phases sequentially, parsing outputs from one phase to construct the inputs for the next. Supports both standard sequential mode and parallel creative mode for generating diverse design variants.
-
-## Execution Model - Autonomous Workflow
-
-This workflow runs **fully autonomously** from start to finish:
-
-1. **User triggers**: `/workflow:ui-design:auto --session WFS-xxx --images "refs/*.png" --pages "dashboard,auth" [--batch-plan]`
-2. **Phase 1 executes** (style-extract) → Auto-continues
-3. **Phase 2 executes** (style-consolidate) → Auto-continues
-4. **Phase 3 executes** (ui-generate) → Auto-continues
-5. **Phase 4 executes** (design-update) → Auto-continues
-6. **Phase 5 executes** (batch-plan, optional) → Reports task files
-
-**Auto-Continue Mechanism**:
-- The workflow uses `TodoWrite` to track the state of each phase
-- Upon successful completion of a phase, the coordinator immediately constructs and executes the command for the next phase
-- This pattern ensures a seamless flow
-
-## Core Rules
-
-1. **Start Immediately**: First action is `TodoWrite` initialization, second action is Phase 1 command execution
-2. **No Preliminary Analysis**: Do not read files or validate before Phase 1 (sub-commands handle their own validation)
-3. **Parse Every Output**: Extract required data from each command's output for the next phase
-4. **Auto-Continue**: After each phase, automatically proceed to the next without pausing
-5. **Track Progress**: Update `TodoWrite` after every phase completion
-6. **Default to All**: When selecting variants or prototypes for the next phase, the autonomous workflow defaults to using **all** generated items
-
-## Parameter Requirements
-
-**Optional Parameters** (all have smart defaults):
-- `--pages "<page_list>"`: Pages to generate (if omitted, inferred from prompt/session)
-- `--session <session_id>`: Workflow session ID (if omitted, runs in standalone mode)
-- `--images "<glob_pattern>"`: Reference image paths (default: `design-refs/*`)
-- `--prompt "<description>"`: Text description of design style and pages
-- `--variants <count>`: Number of style variants (Phase 1) or UI variants (Phase 3, standard mode) to generate (default: 1, range: 1-5)
-- `--creative-variants <count>`: Number of **parallel agents** to launch for creative UI generation (Phase 3 only). This enables Creative Mode for layout exploration
-- `--batch-plan`: Auto-generate implementation tasks after design-update (integrated mode only)
-
-**Input Source Rules**:
-- Must provide at least one of: `--images` or `--prompt`
-- Both can be combined for guided style analysis
-
-## Execution Modes
-
-### Standard Mode (Default)
-- Executes all phases sequentially
-- **Phase 1 (Style Extraction)**: Generates multiple style options using the `--variants` parameter in a single execution
-- **Phase 3 (UI Generation)**: Generates multiple UI prototypes using the `--variants` parameter in a single execution
-
-### Creative Mode (with `--creative-variants`)
-- Triggered by the `--creative-variants` parameter for **Phase 3 (UI Generation) only**
-- Launches multiple, parallel `Task(conceptual-planning-agent)` instances to explore diverse UI layouts
-- Each agent generates a single prototype for a single page, resulting in `N pages * M creative-variants` total prototypes
-- This mode is ideal for initial UI exploration where a wide range of layout ideas is desired
-
-### Integrated vs. Standalone Mode
-- `--session` flag determines if the workflow is integrated with a larger session or runs standalone
-
-## 5-Phase Execution
-
-### Phase 0: Page Inference
-```bash
-# Infer page list if not explicitly provided
-IF --pages provided:
-    page_list = parse_csv({--pages value})
-ELSE IF --prompt provided:
-    # Extract page names from prompt (e.g., "blog with home, article, author pages")
-    page_list = extract_pages_from_prompt({--prompt value})
-ELSE IF --session AND exists(.workflow/WFS-{session}/.brainstorming/synthesis-specification.md):
-    synthesis = Read(.workflow/WFS-{session}/.brainstorming/synthesis-specification.md)
-    page_list = extract_pages_from_synthesis(synthesis)
-ELSE:
-    page_list = ["home"]  # Default fallback
-
-STORE: inferred_page_list = page_list  # For Phase 3
-```
-
-### Phase 1: Style Extraction
-**Command Construction**:
-```bash
-images_flag = --images present ? "--images \"{image_glob}\"" : ""
-prompt_flag = --prompt present ? "--prompt \"{prompt_text}\"" : ""
-session_flag = --session present ? "--session {session_id}" : ""
-
-# Phase 1 always runs sequentially, using --variants to generate multiple style options
-# --creative-variants does not apply to this phase
-variants_flag = --variants present ? "--variants {variants_count}" : "--variants 1"
-command = "/workflow:ui-design:extract {session_flag} {images_flag} {prompt_flag} {variants_flag}"
-SlashCommand(command=command)
-```
-**Auto-Continue**: On completion, proceeds to Phase 2
-
----
-
-### Phase 2: Style Consolidation (Auto-Triggered)
-**Action**: Consolidates all style variants generated in Phase 1
-
-**Command Construction**:
-```bash
-session_flag = --session present ? "--session {session_id}" : ""
-# The --variants flag will list ALL variants from Phase 1 (auto-select all)
-variants_list = get_all_variant_ids_from_phase_1_output()
-
-command = "/workflow:ui-design:consolidate {session_flag} --variants \"{variants_list}\""
-```
-**Command**: `SlashCommand(command=command)`
-**Note**: In auto mode, ALL style variants are consolidated automatically without user selection
-**Auto-Continue**: On completion, proceeds to Phase 3
-
----
-
-### Phase 3: UI Generation (Auto-Triggered)
-**Action**: Generates UI prototypes based on the consolidated design system
-
-**Command Construction**:
-```bash
-session_flag = --session present ? "--session {session_id}" : ""
-pages_flag = "--pages \"{inferred_page_list}\" "
-
-IF --creative-variants provided:
-    # Creative Mode: Launch N agents × M pages in parallel for diverse layouts
-    command = "/workflow:ui-design:generate {session_flag} {pages_flag}--creative-variants {creative_variants_count}"
-ELSE:
-    # Standard Mode: Single execution generating N variants for all pages
-    variants_flag = --variants present ? "--variants {variants_count}" : "--variants 1"
-    command = "/workflow:ui-design:generate {session_flag} {pages_flag}{variants_flag}"
-```
-**Command**: `SlashCommand(command=command)`
-**Auto-Continue**: On completion, proceeds to Phase 4
-
----
-
-### Phase 4: Design System Integration (Auto-Triggered)
-**Action**: Integrates all generated prototypes and the design system into the brainstorming artifacts
-
-**Command Construction**:
-```bash
-session_flag = --session present ? "--session {session_id}" : ""
-# --selected-prototypes is omitted to default to ALL generated prototypes
-command = "/workflow:ui-design:update {session_flag}"
-```
-**Command**: `SlashCommand(command=command)`
-**Auto-Continue**: If `--batch-plan` is present, proceeds to Phase 5. Otherwise, the workflow completes
-
----
-
-### Phase 5: Batch Task Generation (Optional, Auto-Triggered)
-**Condition**: Only executes if `--batch-plan` flag is present
-
-**Execution**:
-```bash
-FOR each page IN inferred_page_list:
-  SlashCommand(command="/workflow:plan --agent \"Implement {page} page based on design system\"")
-```
-**Completion**: The workflow is now complete
-
-## TodoWrite Pattern (Autonomous)
-
-```javascript
-// Initialize (before Phase 1)
-TodoWrite({todos: [
-  {"content": "Execute style extraction", "status": "in_progress", "activeForm": "Executing style extraction"},
-  {"content": "Execute style consolidation", "status": "pending", "activeForm": "Executing style consolidation"},
-  {"content": "Execute UI prototype generation", "status": "pending", "activeForm": "Executing UI generation"},
-  {"content": "Execute design system integration", "status": "pending", "activeForm": "Executing design system integration"}
-]})
-
-// After Phase 1 completes, before Phase 2 starts
-TodoWrite({todos: [
-  {"content": "Execute style extraction", "status": "completed", "activeForm": "Executing style extraction"},
-  {"content": "Execute style consolidation", "status": "in_progress", "activeForm": "Executing style consolidation"},
-  // ... rest are pending
-]})
-
-// After Phase 2 completes, before Phase 3 starts
-TodoWrite({todos: [
-  {"content": "Execute style extraction", "status": "completed"},
-  {"content": "Execute style consolidation", "status": "completed", "activeForm": "Executing style consolidation"},
-  {"content": "Execute UI prototype generation", "status": "in_progress", "activeForm": "Executing UI generation"},
-  // ... rest are pending
-]})
-
-// This pattern continues until all phases are complete
-```
-
-## Error Handling
-
-- **Phase Execution Failures**: The workflow will halt, keeping the failed phase `in_progress`. It will report the error and provide recovery instructions, suggesting a manual command execution with corrected parameters
-- **Default Behavior**: In case of ambiguity (e.g., which variants to select), the system defaults to selecting ALL available items to ensure the workflow can proceed autonomously
-
-## Key Improvements Over Previous Version
-
-1. **Zero External Dependencies**: Pure Claude + agents, no CLI tools
-2. **Streamlined Commands**: Removed `--tool` parameter and all CLI tool flags
-3. **Consistent Execution**: All sub-commands use unified patterns
-4. **Reproducible**: Deterministic flow with clear phase dependencies
-5. **Simpler**: Fewer moving parts, easier to understand and debug
-
-## Workflow Position
-
-The workflow acts as the bridge between brainstorming (`synthesis-specification.md`) and planning (`/workflow:plan`), providing this connection in a fully automated fashion with options for deep creative exploration through parallel agents.
-
-## Example Execution Flows
-
-### Example 1: Text Prompt Only (Standalone)
-```bash
-/workflow:ui-design:auto --prompt "Modern minimalist blog with home, article, and author pages"
-
-# Executes:
-# 1. /workflow:ui-design:extract --prompt "..." --variants 1
-# 2. /workflow:ui-design:consolidate --variants "variant-1"
-# 3. /workflow:ui-design:generate --pages "home,article,author" --variants 1
-# 4. /workflow:ui-design:update
-```
-
-### Example 2: Images + Prompt + Session (Integrated)
-```bash
-/workflow:ui-design:auto --session WFS-ecommerce --images "refs/*.png" --prompt "E-commerce with minimalist aesthetic" --variants 3
-
-# Executes:
-# 1. /workflow:ui-design:extract --session WFS-ecommerce --images "refs/*.png" --prompt "..." --variants 3
-# 2. /workflow:ui-design:consolidate --session WFS-ecommerce --variants "variant-1,variant-2,variant-3"
-# 3. /workflow:ui-design:generate --session WFS-ecommerce --pages "{inferred_from_synthesis}" --variants 1
-# 4. /workflow:ui-design:update --session WFS-ecommerce
-```
-
-### Example 3: Creative Mode with Batch Planning
-```bash
-/workflow:ui-design:auto --session WFS-saas --prompt "SaaS dashboard and settings" --variants 2 --creative-variants 4 --batch-plan
-
-# Executes:
-# 1. /workflow:ui-design:extract --session WFS-saas --prompt "..." --variants 2
-# 2. /workflow:ui-design:consolidate --session WFS-saas --variants "variant-1,variant-2"
-# 3. /workflow:ui-design:generate --session WFS-saas --pages "dashboard,settings" --creative-variants 4
-#    (launches 8 parallel agents: 2 pages × 4 creative variants)
-# 4. /workflow:ui-design:update --session WFS-saas
-# 5. /workflow:plan --agent "Implement dashboard page..."
-#    /workflow:plan --agent "Implement settings page..."
-```

-# Style Consolidation Command
+# Design System Consolidation Command
 
 ## Overview
-Consolidate user-selected style variants into a unified, production-ready design system using Claude's native synthesis capabilities. Merges token proposals from multiple style cards into a cohesive design language.
+Consolidate user-selected style variants into **independent production-ready design systems**. This command serves as the **Style Planning Phase**, focusing exclusively on design tokens and style guides for the subsequent generation phase.
 
 ## Core Philosophy
-- **Claude-Native**: 100% Claude-driven consolidation, no external tools
-- **Token Merging**: Combines `proposed_tokens` from selected variants
-- **Intelligent Synthesis**: Resolves conflicts, ensures consistency
-- **Production-Ready**: Complete design system with documentation
+- **Style System Focus**: Exclusively handles design system consolidation
+- **Agent-Driven**: Uses ui-design-agent for multi-file generation efficiency
+- **Separate Design Systems**: Generates N independent design systems (one per variant)
+- **Token Refinement**: Refines `proposed_tokens` from each variant into complete systems
+- **Intelligent Synthesis**: Ensures completeness and consistency
+- **Production-Ready**: Complete design system(s) with documentation
+- **Matrix-Ready**: Provides style variants for style × layout matrix exploration in generate phase
 
 ## Execution Protocol
 
-### Phase 1: Session & Variant Loading
+### Phase 1: Path Resolution & Variant Loading
+
 ```bash
-# Validate session and load style cards
-IF --session:
-    session_id = {provided_session}
-    base_path = ".workflow/WFS-{session_id}/"
-ELSE:
-    ERROR: "Must provide --session parameter"
+# Determine base path
+IF --base-path: base_path = {provided_base_path}
+ELSE IF --session: base_path = find_latest_path_matching(".workflow/WFS-{session}/design-*")
+ELSE: base_path = find_latest_path_matching(".workflow/.design/*")
 
 # Verify extraction output exists
-VERIFY: {base_path}/.design/style-extraction/style-cards.json exists
+style_cards_path = "{base_path}/style-extraction/style-cards.json"
+VERIFY: exists(style_cards_path)
 
 # Load style cards
-style_cards = Read({base_path}/.design/style-extraction/style-cards.json)
+style_cards = Read(style_cards_path)
+total_variants = len(style_cards.style_cards)
 ```
 
 ### Phase 2: Variant Selection
+
 ```bash
-# Parse variant selection
-IF --variants provided:
-    variant_ids = parse_csv({--variants value})
-    VALIDATE: All variant_ids exist in style_cards.style_cards[]
+# Determine how many variants to consolidate
+IF --variants:
+    variants_count = {provided_count}
+    VALIDATE: 1 <= variants_count <= total_variants
 ELSE:
-    # Auto-select all variants when called from /workflow:ui-design:auto
-    variant_ids = extract_all_ids(style_cards.style_cards)
-
-# Extract selected variants
-selected_variants = []
-FOR each id IN variant_ids:
-    variant = find_variant_by_id(style_cards, id)
-    selected_variants.push(variant)
+    variants_count = total_variants
 
+# Select first N variants
+selected_variants = style_cards.style_cards[0:variants_count]
 VERIFY: selected_variants.length > 0
+
+REPORT: "📦 Generating {variants_count} independent design systems"
 ```
 
 ### Phase 3: Load Design Context (Optional)
+
 ```bash
 # Load brainstorming context if available
 design_context = ""
 IF exists({base_path}/.brainstorming/synthesis-specification.md):
-    design_context = Read({base_path}/.brainstorming/synthesis-specification.md)
+    design_context = Read(synthesis-specification.md)
 ELSE IF exists({base_path}/.brainstorming/ui-designer/analysis.md):
-    design_context = Read({base_path}/.brainstorming/ui-designer/analysis.md)
+    design_context = Read(ui-designer/analysis.md)
+
+# Load design space analysis from extraction phase

+IF exists(design_space_path):
+    design_space_analysis = Read(design_space_path)
+    REPORT: "📊 Loaded design space analysis with {len(design_space_analysis.divergent_directions)} variant directions"
+ELSE:
+    REPORT: "⚠️ No design space analysis found - trend research will be skipped"
 ```
 
-### Phase 4: Unified Design System Synthesis (Claude)
-This is a single-pass synthesis that replaces all external tool calls.
+### Phase 4: Design System Synthesis (Agent Execution)
 
-**Synthesis Prompt Template**:

-TASK: Consolidate these {selected_variants.length} style variant(s) into a single, cohesive design system.
+## Task
+For EACH variant (1 to {variants_count}):
+1. **Perform Variant-Specific Trend Research** (if design space analysis available)
+2. **Refine design tokens** using research insights
+3. **Generate and WRITE 2 files** to the file system
 
-CONSOLIDATION RULES:
-1. **Merge Token Proposals**: Combine all `proposed_tokens` into one unified system
-2. **Resolve Conflicts**: When variants disagree (e.g., different primary colors), choose the most appropriate value or create a balanced compromise
-3. **Maintain Completeness**: Ensure all token categories are present (colors, typography, spacing, etc.)
-4. **Semantic Naming**: Use clear, semantic names (e.g., "brand-primary" not "color-1")
-5. **Accessibility**: Validate WCAG AA contrast ratios (4.5:1 text, 3:1 UI)
-6. **OKLCH Format**: All colors must use oklch(L C H / A) format
-7. **Design Philosophy**: Synthesize a unified philosophy statement from variant descriptions
+## Step 1: Variant-Specific Trend Research (MCP)
 
-OUTPUT: Generate the following files as JSON/Markdown:
+IF design_space_analysis is provided, FOR EACH variant:
 
-FILE 1: design-tokens.json
+1. **Extract Research Parameters** from design space analysis:
+   - philosophy_name: The variant's design philosophy
+   - search_keywords: Keywords for trend research
+   - anti_keywords: Patterns to avoid
+
+2. **Build Variant-Specific Queries**:
+   ```javascript
+   queries = [
+     `{philosophy_name} UI design color palettes {search_keywords[:3]} 2024 2025`,
+     `{philosophy_name} typography trends {search_keywords[:3]} web design 2024`,
+     `{philosophy_name} layout patterns {search_keywords[:3]} design systems 2024`,
+     `design systems {philosophy_name} NOT {anti_keywords[:2]}`
+   ]
+   ```
+
+3. **Execute MCP Searches**:
+   ```javascript
+   trend_research = {
+     colors: mcp__exa__get_code_context_exa(query=queries[0], tokensNum=2000),
+     typography: mcp__exa__get_code_context_exa(query=queries[1], tokensNum=2000),
+     layout: mcp__exa__get_code_context_exa(query=queries[2], tokensNum=2000),
+     contrast: mcp__exa__get_code_context_exa(query=queries[3], tokensNum=2000)
+   }
+   ```
+
+4. **Shared Accessibility Research** (execute once, apply to all variants):
+   ```javascript
+   accessibility_guidelines = mcp__exa__get_code_context_exa(
+     query="WCAG 2.2 accessibility color contrast ARIA best practices 2024",
+     tokensNum=1500
+   )
+   ```
+
+5. **Use Research Results** to inform token refinement:
+   - Color token refinement guided by `trend_research.colors`
+   - Typography refinement guided by `trend_research.typography`
+   - Layout spacing informed by `trend_research.layout`
+   - Contrast validation using `trend_research.contrast` and `accessibility_guidelines`
+
+IF design_space_analysis is NOT provided:
+- Skip trend research
+- Refine tokens based solely on variant's existing philosophy and proposed tokens
+
+## Step 2: Refinement Rules (apply to each variant)
+1. **Complete Token Coverage**: Ensure all categories present (colors, typography, spacing, etc.)
+2. **Fill Gaps**: Generate missing tokens based on variant's philosophy and trend research
+3. **Maintain Style Identity**: Preserve unique characteristics from proposed tokens
+4. **Semantic Naming**: Use clear names (e.g., "brand-primary" not "color-1")
+5. **Accessibility**: Validate WCAG AA contrast using accessibility guidelines (4.5:1 text, 3:1 UI)
+6. **OKLCH Format**: All colors use oklch(L C H / A) format
+7. **Design Philosophy**: Expand variant's design philosophy using trend insights
+8. **Trend Integration**: Incorporate modern trends from MCP research while maintaining variant identity
+
+## Step 3: File Write Instructions
+For EACH variant {variant_id} (1 to {variants_count}), WRITE these 2 files:
+

+**Requirements**: All colors in OKLCH format, complete token coverage, semantic naming
+
 ## Error Handling
+
 - **No style cards found**: Report error, suggest running `/workflow:ui-design:extract` first
-- **Invalid variant IDs**: List available IDs, auto-select all if called from auto workflow
+- **Invalid variant count**: List available count, auto-select all if called from auto workflow
 - **Parsing errors**: Retry with stricter format instructions
 - **Validation warnings**: Report but continue (non-blocking)
+- **Missing categories**: Claude will fill gaps based on design philosophy
 
-## Key Improvements Over Previous Version
+## Key Features
 
-1. **Zero External Dependencies**: No `gemini-wrapper`, no `codex` - pure Claude
-2. **Direct Token Merging**: Reads `proposed_tokens` from style cards directly
-3. **Single-Pass Synthesis**: One comprehensive prompt generates all outputs
-4. **Reproducible**: Deterministic structure with clear consolidation rules
-5. **Streamlined**: `Load → Synthesize → Write` (3 steps vs 7+ previously)
+1. **Variant-Specific Trend Research** 🆕 - Agent performs independent MCP queries for each variant (4 queries per variant); Uses design space analysis keywords from extraction phase; Each variant researches its specific design philosophy; Shared accessibility research applied to all variants; Eliminates convergence by maintaining variant-specific research
+2. **Agent-Driven Architecture** - Uses ui-design-agent for multi-file generation and MCP research; Parallel generation of N independent design systems with external trend integration; Structured output parsing with labeled sections; Agent handles both research and synthesis
+3. **Separate Design Systems (Matrix-Ready)** - Generates N independent design systems (one per variant); Each variant maintains unique style identity enhanced by trend research; Provides style foundation for style × layout matrix exploration in generate phase
+4. **Token Refinement with Trend Integration** 🆕 - Reads `proposed_tokens` from style cards; Loads design space analysis for research parameters; Agent performs MCP trend research per variant; Refines tokens using research insights while maintaining style identity
+5. **Complete Design System Output** - design-tokens.json (CSS tokens per variant); style-guide.md (documentation per variant with trend insights)
+6. **Production-Ready Quality** - WCAG AA accessibility validation with MCP research; OKLCH color format for perceptual uniformity; Semantic token naming; Complete token coverage; Modern trends integration
+7. **Streamlined Workflow** - Sequential phases with clear responsibilities; Agent handles MCP research, token refinement, and file generation; Reproducible with deterministic structure; Context-aware (integrates brainstorming and design space analysis)
+8. **Clear Separation of Concerns** - Consolidation focuses on style systems with trend research; Extraction focuses on Claude-native analysis; Layout planning delegated to generate phase for target-specific optimization
 
 ## Integration Points
-- **Input**: `style-cards.json` from `/workflow:ui-design:extract` (with `proposed_tokens`)
-- **Output**: `design-tokens.json` for `/workflow:ui-design:generate`
+
+- **Input**:
+  - `style-cards.json` from `/workflow:ui-design:extract` (with `proposed_tokens`)

+
+# UI Design Auto Workflow Command
+
+## Overview & Execution Model
+
+**Fully autonomous orchestrator**: Executes all design phases sequentially from style extraction to design integration, with optional batch planning.
+
+**Unified Target System**: Generates `style_variants × layout_variants × targets` prototypes, where targets can be:
+- **Pages** (full-page layouts): home, dashboard, settings, etc.
+- **Components** (isolated UI elements): navbar, card, hero, form, etc.
+- **Mixed**: Can combine both in a single workflow
+
+**Autonomous Flow**:
+1. User triggers: `/workflow:ui-design:explore-auto [params]`
+2. Phase 1 (style-extract) → Auto-continues
+3. Phase 2 (style-consolidate) → Auto-continues
+4. Phase 3 (ui-generate) → Auto-continues with unified target list
+5. Phase 4 (design-update) → Auto-continues
+6. Phase 5 (batch-plan, optional) → Reports completion
+
+**Auto-Continue Mechanism**: TodoWrite tracks phase status. Upon completion, coordinator constructs next command and executes immediately. No user intervention required.
+
+**Target Type Detection**: Automatically inferred from prompt/targets, or explicitly set via `--target-type`.
+
+## Core Rules
+
+1. **Start Immediately**: TodoWrite initialization → Phase 1 execution
+2. **No Preliminary Validation**: Sub-commands handle their own validation
+3. **Parse & Pass**: Extract data from each output for next phase
+4. **Default to All**: When selecting variants/prototypes, use ALL generated items
+5. **Track Progress**: Update TodoWrite after each phase
+
+## Parameter Requirements
+
+**Optional Parameters** (all have smart defaults):
+- `--targets "<list>"`: Comma-separated targets (pages/components) to generate (inferred from prompt/session if omitted)
+- `--target-type "page|component|auto"`: Explicitly set target type (default: `auto` - intelligent detection)
+- `--session <id>`: Workflow session ID (standalone mode if omitted)
+- `--images "<glob>"`: Reference image paths (default: `design-refs/*`)
+- `--prompt "<description>"`: Design style and target description
+- `--style-variants <count>`: Style variants (default: inferred from prompt or 3, range: 1-5)
+- `--layout-variants <count>`: Layout variants per style (default: inferred or 3, range: 1-5)
+- `--batch-plan`: Auto-generate implementation tasks after design-update
+
+**Legacy Parameters** (maintained for backward compatibility):
+- `--pages "<list>"`: Alias for `--targets` with `--target-type page`
+- `--components "<list>"`: Alias for `--targets` with `--target-type component`
+
+**Input Rules**:
+- Must provide at least one: `--images` or `--prompt` or `--targets`
+- Multiple parameters can be combined for guided analysis
+- If `--targets` not provided, intelligently inferred from prompt/session
+
+**Supported Target Types**:
+- **Pages** (full layouts): home, dashboard, settings, profile, login, etc.
+- **Components** (UI elements):
+  - Navigation: navbar, header, menu, breadcrumb, tabs, sidebar
+  - Content: hero, card, list, table, grid, timeline
+  - Input: form, search, filter, input-group
+  - Feedback: modal, alert, toast, badge, progress
+  - Media: gallery, carousel, video-player, image-card
+  - Other: footer, pagination, dropdown, tooltip, avatar
+
+**Intelligent Prompt Parsing**: Extracts variant counts from natural language:
+- "Generate **3 style variants**" → `--style-variants 3`
+- "**2 layout options**" → `--layout-variants 2`
+- "Create **4 styles** with **2 layouts each**" → `--style-variants 4 --layout-variants 2`
+- Explicit flags override prompt inference
+
+## Execution Modes
+
+**Matrix Mode** (unified):
+- Generates `style_variants × layout_variants × targets` prototypes
+- **Phase 1**: `style_variants` style options
+- **Phase 2**: `style_variants` independent design systems
+- **Phase 3**: `style_variants × layout_variants × targets` prototypes
+  - Pages: Full-page layouts with complete structure
+  - Components: Isolated elements with minimal wrapper
+  - Mixed: Combination based on intelligent detection
+
+**Integrated vs. Standalone**:
+- `--session` flag determines session integration or standalone execution
+
+## 6-Phase Execution
+
+### Phase 0a: Intelligent Prompt Parsing
+```bash
+# Extract variant counts from prompt if not explicitly provided

+
+    style_variants = style_match ? int(match[1]) : (--style-variants OR 3)

+```
+**Completion**: Workflow complete
+
+## TodoWrite Pattern
+
+```javascript
+// Initialize
+TodoWrite({todos: [
+  {"content": "Execute style extraction", "status": "in_progress", "activeForm": "Executing style extraction"},
+  {"content": "Execute style consolidation", "status": "pending", "activeForm": "Executing style consolidation"},
+  {"content": "Execute UI prototype generation", "status": "pending", "activeForm": "Executing UI generation"},
+  {"content": "Execute design system integration", "status": "pending", "activeForm": "Executing design system integration"}
+]})
+
+// After each phase: Mark current completed, next in_progress, rest pending
+// Phase 1 done → Phase 2 in_progress
+// Phase 2 done → Phase 3 in_progress
+// ... continues until all completed
+```
+
+## Error Handling
+
+- **Phase Failures**: Workflow halts, keeps failed phase `in_progress`, reports error with recovery instructions
+- **Ambiguity**: Defaults to ALL available items (variants/prototypes) to ensure autonomous continuation
+
+## Key Features & Workflow Position
+
+**Core Improvements**:
+- **Zero External Dependencies**: Pure Claude + agents, no CLI tools
+- **Streamlined Commands**: Unified patterns, no tool-specific flags
+- **Reproducible Flow**: Deterministic phase dependencies
+- **Intelligent Parsing**: Natural language → variant counts, pages
+- **Run Isolation**: Each execution in timestamped run directory
+
+**Workflow Bridge**: Connects brainstorming (`synthesis-specification.md`) → design phase → planning (`/workflow:plan`) in fully automated fashion with matrix-based design exploration.
+
+## Example Execution Flows
+
+### Example 1: Default 3×3 Matrix (Page Mode - Prompt Inference)
+```bash
+/workflow:ui-design:explore-auto --prompt "Modern minimalist blog with home, article, and author pages"
+
+# Auto-detected type: page
+# Inferred: 3 style variants, 3 layout variants (default)
+# Targets: home, article, author
+# Total: 27 full-page prototypes (3×3×3)
+```
+
+### Example 2: Custom 2×2 Matrix with Session
+```bash
+/workflow:ui-design:explore-auto --session WFS-ecommerce --images "refs/*.png" --style-variants 2 --layout-variants 2
+
+# Auto-detected from session synthesis
+# Total: 2×2×N prototypes (N from inference)
+```
+
+### Example 3: Unified - Navbar Design Comparison
+```bash
+/workflow:ui-design:explore-auto --targets "navbar,hero" --target-type "component" --prompt "Compare 3 navigation bar designs for SaaS product" --style-variants 3 --layout-variants 2
+
+# Explicit type: component
+# Targets: navbar, hero
+# Matrix: 3 styles × 2 layouts
+# Total: 12 component prototypes (3×2×2)
+# Output: navbar-style-1-layout-1.html, navbar-style-1-layout-2.html, ...
+```
+
+### Example 4: Unified - Card & Form Exploration
+```bash
+/workflow:ui-design:explore-auto --targets "card,form,button" --images "refs/*.png" --style-variants 2 --layout-variants 3
+
+# Auto-detected type: component (based on keywords)
+# Targets: card, form, button
+# Matrix: 2 styles × 3 layouts
+# Total: 18 component prototypes (2×3×3)
+# Context: Each component in minimal wrapper for isolated comparison
+```
+
+### Example 5: Intelligent Parsing + Batch Planning
+```bash
+/workflow:ui-design:explore-auto --session WFS-saas --prompt "Create 4 styles with 2 layouts for SaaS dashboard and settings" --batch-plan
+
+# Auto-detected type: page
+# Parsed: 4 styles, 2 layouts
+# Targets: dashboard, settings
+# Total: 16 full-page prototypes (4×2×2)
+# Auto-generates implementation tasks for each target
+```
+
+### Example 6: Auto-Detected Components from Prompt
+```bash

+
+# Auto-detected type: component (keyword: "components")
+# Inferred targets: pricing-table, testimonial-card

+- Use each variant's specific attribute scores (e.g., "monochrome" vs "vibrant")
+- Each variant should embody its unique design direction
+- If Variant-1 is "minimal/geometric", Variant-2 must be "bold/organic" or similar contrast

-- Each variant must be distinct in visual character
-- All colors MUST use OKLCH format: oklch(L C H / A)
-- Token structures must be complete and production-ready
-- Use semantic naming throughout

+**Key Structural Requirements**:
+- Each variant MUST have complete, independent token proposals (all categories present)
+- All colors MUST use OKLCH format: `oklch(L C H / A)`
+- Token keys MUST match exactly across all variants for consistency
+- Variants differ in VALUES, not structure
+- Production-ready: no placeholders or incomplete sections
+
 ## Error Handling
+
 - **No images found**: Report glob pattern and suggest corrections
 - **Invalid prompt**: Require non-empty string for text mode
 - **Claude JSON parsing error**: Retry with stricter format instructions
-- **Invalid session**: Create standalone session automatically
+- **Invalid session**: Create standalone session automatically in `.workflow/.scratchpad/`
+- **Invalid variant count**: Clamp to 1-5 range and warn user
 
-## Key Improvements Over Previous Version
+## Key Features
 
-1. **Zero External Dependencies**: No `gemini-wrapper`, no `codex` - pure Claude
-2. **Single Output File**: Eliminates `semantic_style_analysis.json`, `design-tokens.json`, `tailwind-tokens.js` clutter
-3. **Complete Token Proposals**: Each style card contains a full design system proposal
-4. **Reproducible**: Same inputs = same output structure (content may vary based on Claude model)
-5. **Streamlined Flow**: `Input → Analysis → style-cards.json` (3 steps vs 7+ previously)
+1. **🚀 AI-Driven Design Space Exploration** 🆕
+   - Phase 0.5: AI analyzes requirements and generates MAXIMALLY CONTRASTING design directions
+   - Uses 6-dimensional design attribute space (color saturation, visual weight, formality, organic/geometric, innovation, density)
+   - Ensures each variant occupies a distinct region of the design spectrum
+   - Generates search keywords and anti-patterns for each variant
+   - Provides contrast verification with minimum pairwise distance metrics
+
+2. **🎯 Variant-Specific Design Directions** 🆕
+   - AI generates search keywords and anti-patterns for each variant
+   - Each variant has distinct design philosophy (e.g., "minimal brutalist" vs "bold vibrant")
+   - Philosophy-specific keywords guide synthesis
+   - Design space analysis saved for consolidation phase
+   - Trend research deferred to consolidation for better integration
+
+3. **🔒 Maximum Contrast Guarantee**
+   - AI-driven divergence ensures variants are maximally distant in attribute space
+   - Each variant has distinct: philosophy, color saturation, visual weight, formality, etc.
+   - Explicit anti-patterns prevent variants from borrowing each other's characteristics
+   - Contrast verification built into design space analysis
+
+4. **100% Claude-Native Analysis**
+   - No external tools (gemini-wrapper, codex, or MCP) - pure Claude
+   - Single-pass comprehensive analysis guided by design space analysis
+   - Fast, deterministic style synthesis without external dependencies
+
+5. **Streamlined Output**
+   - Single file (`style-cards.json`) vs. multiple scattered files
+   - Eliminates `semantic_style_analysis.json`, `design-tokens.json`, `tailwind-tokens.js` clutter
+   - Each variant contains complete token proposals embedded
+
+6. **Flexible Input Modes**
+   - Image-only: Analyze visual references through each variant's philosophical lens
+   - Text-only: Generate from descriptions with maximum divergence
+   - Hybrid: Text guides image analysis while maintaining variant independence
+   - All modes enhanced with AI-driven design space analysis
+
+7. **Context-Aware & Dynamic**
+   - Extracts design keywords from user prompts (e.g., "minimalist", "Linear.app")
+   - Considers project type from brainstorming artifacts
+   - Dynamically generates design directions based on project context
+   - No hardcoded design philosophies - fully adaptive
+
+8. **Production-Ready Token Proposals**
+   - Complete design system proposals per variant
+   - OKLCH color format for perceptual uniformity and accessibility
+   - Semantic naming conventions
+   - WCAG AA accessibility considerations built-in
+   - Variant-specific token sets (not generic)
+
+9. **Workflow Integration**
+   - Integrated mode: Works within existing workflow sessions
+   - Standalone mode: Auto-creates session in scratchpad
+   - Context-aware: Can reference synthesis-specification.md or ui-designer/analysis.md
+   - Contrast metrics included in completion report
 
 ## Integration Points
-- **Input**: Reference images (PNG, JPG, WebP) or text prompts
+
+- **Input**: Reference images (PNG, JPG, WebP) via glob patterns, or text prompts
 - **Output**: `style-cards.json` for `/workflow:ui-design:consolidate`
-- **Context**: Optional `synthesis-specification.md` or `ui-designer/analysis.md` can guide prompts
+- **Context**: Optional brainstorming artifacts (`synthesis-specification.md`, `ui-designer/analysis.md`)
+- **Auto Integration**: Automatically triggered by `/workflow:ui-design:auto` workflow
+- **Next Step**: `/workflow:ui-design:consolidate --session {session_id} --variants {count} [--layout-variants <count>]` (add `--keep-separate` for matrix mode)

+# UI Design Imitate-Auto Workflow Command
+
+## Overview & Philosophy
+
+**Fast-track UI imitation workflow**: Replicates a single design style from reference source (URL or images), bypassing exploration and consolidation phases for maximum speed (~2-3× faster than explore-auto).
+
+**Core Philosophy**:
+- **Imitation over Exploration**: Focus on replicating specific design, not generating variants
+- **Single Mode**: Always 1 style × 1 layout × N pages
+- **Speed Optimized**: Bypasses `consolidate` step via direct token extraction
+- **Reference-Driven**: Requires URL or images as primary input
+- **Auto-Screenshot**: Supports Playwright/Chrome with manual upload fallback
+
+**Streamlined Flow**:
+1. User triggers → Phase 0 (initialization) → Phase 0.5 (screenshot capture) → Phase 1 (style extraction) → Phase 2 (token adaptation) → Phase 3 (prototype generation) → Phase 4 (integration) → Complete
+
+**Performance**: ~2-3× faster than explore-auto for single-style scenarios
+
+**Ideal For**: MVP development, high-fidelity prototyping, design replication, studying successful patterns
+**Not For**: Design exploration, generating multiple alternatives, novel design creation
+
+## Core Rules
+
+1. **Start Immediately**: TodoWrite initialization → Phase 0 execution
+2. **No Multi-Variant**: Always 1 style × 1 layout × N pages
+3. **Reference Required**: Must provide `--url` OR `--images`
+4. **Auto-Continue**: Automatic phase progression without pausing
+5. **Track Progress**: Update TodoWrite after each phase
+
+## Parameter Requirements
+
+**Required** (at least one):
+- `--url "<url>"`: Website URL to imitate (e.g., "https://linear.app")
+- `--images "<glob>"`: Local reference images (e.g., "refs/*.png")
+
+**Optional**:
+- `--targets "<list>"`: Comma-separated targets (pages/components) to generate (inferred from prompt if omitted)
+- `--target-type "page|component"`: Explicitly set target type (default: intelligent detection)
+- `--session <id>"`: Workflow session ID (standalone if omitted)
+- `--prompt "<desc>"`: Additional design guidance (e.g., "Focus on dark mode")
+
+**Legacy Parameters** (maintained for backward compatibility):
+- `--pages "<list>"`: Alias for `--targets` with `--target-type page`
+
+**Not Supported**:
+- `--style-variants`: Always 1 (single style)
+- `--layout-variants`: Always 1 (single layout)
+- `--batch-plan`: Not supported in imitate mode

+
+## TodoWrite Pattern
+
+```javascript
+// Initialize
+TodoWrite({todos: [
+  {"content": "Initialize run directory and infer targets", "status": "in_progress", "activeForm": "Initializing"},
+  {"content": "Capture screenshots from URL (if provided)", "status": "pending", "activeForm": "Capturing screenshots"},
+  {"content": "Extract single design style from reference", "status": "pending", "activeForm": "Extracting style"},
+  {"content": "Adapt tokens (bypass consolidate)", "status": "pending", "activeForm": "Adapting tokens"},
+  {"content": "Generate single-style prototypes", "status": "pending", "activeForm": "Generating prototypes"},
+  {"content": "Integrate design system", "status": "pending", "activeForm": "Integrating design"}
+]})
+
+// Update after each phase: Mark current completed, next in_progress
+```
+
+## Error Handling
+
+- **No reference source**: Error if neither `--url` nor `--images` provided
+- **Screenshot capture failure**:
+  - Tries 2 methods: Playwright → Chrome DevTools
+  - Falls back to manual upload: user uploads screenshot, skips, or aborts
+  - Gracefully handles missing Playwright/Chrome
+- **Invalid URL/images**: Report error, suggest alternative input
+- **Token extraction failure**: Fallback to minimal default design system
+
+## Performance Comparison
+
+| Aspect | explore-auto | imitate-auto |
+|--------|--------------|--------------|
+| **Purpose** | Design exploration | Design replication |
+| **Input** | Optional URL/images | **Required** URL or images |
+| **Variants** | 1-5 styles × 1-5 layouts | Always 1 × 1 |
+| **Consolidate** | Full consolidation | **Bypassed** (direct tokens) |
+| **Speed** | Baseline | **~2-3× faster** |
+| **Output** | Matrix (S×L×P) | Direct (1×1×P) |
+| **Phases** | 6 phases | 5 phases |
+
+**Performance Benefits**:
+1. **Skipped consolidate**: Saves ~30-60s (most expensive phase)
+2. **Single variant**: Reduces extraction complexity
+3. **Direct token mapping**: Simple file ops vs AI synthesis
+4. **Streamlined decisions**: No variant selection/confirmation
+
+## Example Execution Flows
+
+### Example 1: URL with Auto-Screenshot (Pages)
+```bash
+/workflow:ui-design:imitate-auto --url "https://linear.app" --targets "home,features,pricing"
+
+# Flow:
+# 0. Init: 3 pages identified
+# 0.5. Screenshot: Playwright captures linear.app
+# 1. Extract: Single style from screenshot
+# 2. Adapt: Direct tokens (~2s vs consolidate's ~45s)
+# 3. Generate: 3 page prototypes
+# 4. Complete
+# Time: ~2-3 min (vs 5-7 min with explore-auto)
+```
+
+### Example 2: Images with Guidance (Page Mode)
+```bash
+/workflow:ui-design:imitate-auto --images "refs/dark-theme.png" --prompt "Focus on dark mode" --targets "dashboard"
+
+# Flow: 0 → 0.5 (skip) → 1 → 2 → 3 → 4
+# Output: dashboard-style-1-layout-1.html
+# Type: page (full-page layout)
+```
+
+### Example 3: Component Mode
+```bash
+/workflow:ui-design:imitate-auto --url "https://example.com" --targets "navbar,hero,card" --target-type "component"
+
+# Flow: 0 → 0.5 → 1 → 2 → 3 → 4
+# Output: navbar-style-1-layout-1.html, hero-style-1-layout-1.html, card-style-1-layout-1.html
+# Type: component (minimal wrapper for isolated comparison)
+```
+
+### Example 4: URL with Manual Screenshot
+```bash
+/workflow:ui-design:imitate-auto --url "https://stripe.com/pricing" --targets "pricing"
+
+# 0.5. Screenshot:
+#      ⚠️ Playwright failed → Chrome failed
+#      📸 User prompted for manual upload
+#      User saves screenshot → types 'ready' → ✅ continues
+#      OR types 'skip' → ⚠️ uses URL analysis only
+# Continues: 1 → 2 → 3 → 4
+```
+
+### Example 5: Legacy Parameter Support
+```bash
+# Using legacy --pages parameter (backward compatible)
+/workflow:ui-design:imitate-auto --url "https://example.com" --pages "home,dashboard"
+
+# Equivalent to: --targets "home,dashboard" --target-type "page"
+```

 # Design Update Command
 
 ## Overview
-Synchronize finalized design system (tokens, style guide, selected prototypes) back to brainstorming artifacts, preparing for `/workflow:plan` phase consumption.
+Synchronize finalized design system references to brainstorming artifacts, preparing them for `/workflow:plan` consumption. This command updates **references only** (via @ notation), not content duplication.
 
 ## Core Philosophy
-- **Main Claude Execution**: Direct updates by main Claude (avoid Agent context loss, following synthesis pattern)
-- **Reference-Based Integration**: Use @ references, not content duplication
+- **Reference-Only Updates**: Use @ references, no content duplication
+- **Main Claude Execution**: Direct updates by main Claude (no Agent handoff)
 - **Synthesis Alignment**: Update synthesis-specification.md UI/UX Guidelines section
-- **UI Designer Sync**: Mirror design system to ui-designer/style-guide.md
 - **Plan-Ready Output**: Ensure design artifacts discoverable by task-generate
+- **Minimal Reading**: Verify file existence, don't read design content

 ## Error Handling
-- **Missing design tokens**: Error, run `/workflow:ui-design:consolidate` first
-- **Missing prototypes**: Error, run `/workflow:ui-design:generate` first
-- **synthesis-specification.md not found**: Warning, create minimal version
-- **Edit conflicts**: Preserve existing content, append design system section
-- **Symlink failures**: Warning only, continue with @ references
+
+- **Missing design artifacts**: Error with message "Run /workflow:ui-design:consolidate and /workflow:ui-design:generate first"
+- **synthesis-specification.md not found**: Warning, create minimal version with just UI/UX Guidelines
+- **ui-designer/ directory missing**: Create directory and file
+- **Edit conflicts**: Preserve existing content, append or replace only UI/UX Guidelines section
+- **Invalid prototype names**: Skip invalid entries, continue with valid ones
 
 ## Validation Checks
+
 After update, verify:
 - [ ] synthesis-specification.md contains UI/UX Guidelines section
-- [ ] UI/UX Guidelines include @ references to design system files
+- [ ] UI/UX Guidelines include @ references (not content duplication)
 - [ ] ui-designer/style-guide.md created or updated
-- [ ] design-tokens.json symlink created (if applicable)
-- [ ] All referenced files exist and are readable
+- [ ] All @ referenced files exist and are accessible
+- [ ] @ reference paths are relative and correct
+
+## Key Features
+
+1. **Reference-Only Updates**
+   - Uses @ notation for file references
+   - No content duplication between design and brainstorming spaces
+   - Lightweight, maintainable approach
+
+2. **Main Claude Direct Execution**
+   - No Agent handoff (preserves context)
+   - Simple reference generation (no complex synthesis)
+   - Reliable path resolution
+
+3. **Plan-Ready Output**
+   - `/workflow:plan` Phase 3 can discover design system
+   - Task generation includes design asset paths
+   - Clear integration points for implementation tasks
+
+4. **Minimal Reading**
+   - Only reads target files to update (synthesis-specification.md, ui-designer/analysis.md)
+   - Verifies design file existence (no content reading)
+   - Optional: reads prototype notes for descriptions
+
+5. **Flexible Prototype Selection**
+   - Auto-select all prototypes (default)
+   - Manual selection via --selected-prototypes parameter
+   - Validates prototype existence before referencing
 
 ## Integration Points
-- **Input**: design-tokens.json, style-guide.md, prototypes from design phase
-- **Output**: Updated synthesis-specification.md, ui-designer/style-guide.md
-- **Next Phase**: `/workflow:plan` can now discover and utilize design system
 
-## Completion Message
+- **Input**: Design system artifacts from `/workflow:ui-design:consolidate` and `/workflow:ui-design:generate`
+- **Output**: Updated synthesis-specification.md, ui-designer/style-guide.md with @ references
+- **Next Phase**: `/workflow:plan` discovers and utilizes design system through @ references
+- **Auto Integration**: Automatically triggered by `/workflow:ui-design:auto` workflow
 
-```
-Design system update complete for session: WFS-{session}
-
-Updated artifacts:
-✓ synthesis-specification.md - UI/UX Guidelines section added
-✓ ui-designer/style-guide.md - Comprehensive style guide created
-✓ Design system references: @ notation for all design files
-
-Design system assets ready for task generation:
-- design-tokens.json ({token_count} tokens)
-- style-guide.md (comprehensive component patterns)
-- tailwind.config.js (Tailwind theme extension)
-- {prototype_count} reference prototypes
-
-Next: /workflow:plan [--agent] "<task description>"
-      The plan phase will automatically discover and utilize the design system.

-## Main Claude Direct Execution Rationale
+## Why Main Claude Execution?
 
 This command is executed directly by main Claude (not delegated to an Agent) because:
 
-1. **Context Preservation**: Main Claude has full session context and conversation memory
-2. **Integration Complexity**: Requires understanding multiple artifact relationships
-3. **Reference Accuracy**: @ reference generation needs precise path resolution
-4. **Synthesis Pattern**: Follows the same direct-execution pattern as `/workflow:brainstorm:synthesis`
-5. **Minimal Transformation**: Primarily reference integration, not generative analysis
-6. **Error Recovery**: Main Claude can better handle edit conflicts and missing files
+1. **Simple Reference Generation**: Only generating file paths, not complex synthesis
+2. **Context Preservation**: Main Claude has full session and conversation context
+3. **Minimal Transformation**: Primarily updating references, not analyzing content
+4. **Path Resolution**: Requires precise relative path calculation
+5. **Edit Operations**: Better error recovery for Edit conflicts
+6. **Synthesis Pattern**: Follows same direct-execution pattern as other reference updates
 
-This approach ensures reliable, context-aware integration without Agent handoff overhead.
+This ensures reliable, lightweight integration without Agent handoff overhead.

+## Generation Details
+- **Template**: ${TEMPLATE_HTML}
+- **Structural CSS**: ${STRUCTURAL_CSS}
+- **Style Tokens**: ${TOKEN_CSS}
+- **Layout Strategy**: Layout ${l}
+- **Style Variant**: Style ${s}
+- **Mode**: ${MODE}
+
+## Template Reuse
+This prototype was generated from a shared layout template to ensure consistency
+across all style variants. The HTML structure is identical for all ${page}-layout-${l}
+prototypes, with only the design tokens (colors, fonts, spacing) varying.
+
+## Design System Reference
+Refer to \`../style-consolidation/style-${s}/style-guide.md\` for:
+- Design philosophy
+- Token usage guidelines
+- Component patterns
+- Accessibility requirements
+
+## Customization
+To modify this prototype:
+1. Edit the layout template: \`${TEMPLATE_HTML}\` (affects all styles)
+2. Edit the structural CSS: \`${STRUCTURAL_CSS}\` (affects all styles)
+3. Edit design tokens: \`${TOKEN_CSS}\` (affects only this style variant)
+
+## Run Information
+- **Run ID**: ${RUN_ID}
+- **Session ID**: ${SESSION_ID}
+- **Generated**: $(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ 2>/dev/null || date -u +%Y-%m-%d)

+## [4.2.1] - 2025-10-09
+
+### 📝 Documentation Refactoring: UI Design Workflow Commands
+
+This release refactors UI design workflow documentation for improved clarity and maintainability, with significant size reductions while preserving all functionality.
+
+#### Changed
+
+**explore-auto.md** (formerly `auto.md`):
+- **File Reorganization**: Reduced from 540 to 435 lines (19.4% reduction)
+- **Merged Duplicate Content**: Consolidated Overview, Coordinator Role, and Execution Model into single "Overview & Execution Model" section
+- **Simplified Core Rules**: From verbose descriptions to 5 concise rules
+- **Streamlined TodoWrite Pattern**: From detailed steps to concise mode with comments
+- **Preserved Functionality**: All 6-phase execution logic, intelligent parsing, interactive confirmation, and matrix mode intact
+
+**imitate-auto.md** (NEW command):
+- **File Reorganization**: Reduced from 566 to 475 lines (16.1% reduction)
+- **Merged Sections**: Combined Overview, Core Philosophy, Execution Model, and Workflow Position into unified structure
+- **Simplified Phase 0.5**: Screenshot capture logic complete but reduced redundant error handling
+- **Consolidated Performance**: Merged "Key Differences" and "Performance Benefits" into single comparison table
+- **Preserved Functionality**: All 5-phase execution, auto-screenshot mechanism, direct token extraction, and error handling intact
+
+#### Improved
+
+**Documentation Quality**:
+- 📚 Clearer structure with merged duplicate concepts
+- 🎯 Reduced redundancy across command documentation
+- ✨ Consistent formatting and organization patterns
+- 📖 Improved maintainability with better content separation
+- 🔍 All key functionality points preserved and highlighted
+
+**Total Impact**:
+- **explore-auto.md**: 105 lines removed (19.4% reduction)
+- **imitate-auto.md**: 91 lines removed (16.1% reduction)
+- **Combined**: 196 lines of documentation optimized
+- **Zero functionality loss**: All features, workflows, and technical details preserved
+
+## [4.2.0] - 2025-10-09
+
+### 🎯 Multi-Page Support Enhancement
+
+Based on Gemini's analysis of the UI Design Workflow, this version implements four key optimizations to improve the multi-page design experience.
+
+#### Added
+
+- **Cross-Page Consistency Validation**: New `Phase 3.5` in `generate` command automatically validates design consistency (shared components, tokens, accessibility) across multiple pages
+- **Side-by-Side Prototype Comparison**: `compare.html` preview tool now includes "Side-by-Side" tab to compare any two prototypes with intelligent consistency hints
+- **Batch Prototype Selection**: `compare.html` features "By Style" and "By Layout" buttons for quick bulk prototype selection
+
+#### Changed
+
+- **Enhanced Page Inference**: `auto` command's page detection uses multiple regex patterns with interactive user confirmation
+- **Improved Export**: Selection export from `compare.html` is now more structured with detailed metadata
+
+## [4.1.1] - 2025-10-09
+
+### 🔧 Symlink Fix & Agent Optimization
+
+#### Fixed
+
+- **Windows Symbolic Link Creation**: Corrected `auto.md` workflow to use `mklink /D` on Windows, preventing duplicate directories instead of symlinks
+
+#### Changed
+
+- **Agent Allocation Strategy**: `generate.md` now allocates tasks by layout (layout-based) instead of style, improving performance and consistency for high variant counts by having one agent handle one layout strategy across multiple styles
+
+## [4.1.0] - 2025-10-09
+
+### 🔄 Matrix-Only UI Design Workflow
+
+#### Changed
+
+- **Matrix Mode by Default**: UI Design workflow now exclusively uses `style × layout` matrix mode with `--style-variants` and `--layout-variants` as standard parameters
+- **Path Standardization**: Standalone design sessions saved to `.workflow/.scratchpad/` adhering to project architecture
+- **Simplified Orchestration**: `auto.md` command simplified to use single `SlashCommand` for generation phase, removing complex loop logic
+
+#### Removed
+
+- **Deprecated Parameters**: Removed `--variants` and `--creative-variants` in favor of explicit `--style-variants` and `--layout-variants`
+- **Standard/Creative Modes**: Distinction between these modes removed
+
+---
+
 ## [4.0.2] - 2025-10-09

+# UI原型实例化脚本分析报告
+
+## 问题现象
+
+在执行 `ui-instantiate-prototypes.sh` 脚本时，生成了 `style-4` 的原型文件（如 `login-style-4-layout-1.html`），但实际上 `style-consolidation` 目录下只有3个样式目录（style-1, style-2, style-3）。
+
+## 调查结果
+
+### 1. 目录结构验证
+
+```bash
+# 实际存在的样式目录
+.workflow/.design/run-20251009-210559/style-consolidation/
+├── style-1/
+├── style-2/
+└── style-3/
+
+# 生成的原型文件包含
+prototypes/login-style-4-layout-1.html  ❌ 引用不存在的 ../style-consolidation/style-4/tokens.css
+prototypes/sidebar-style-4-layout-1.html  ❌ 引用不存在的 ../style-consolidation/style-4/tokens.css
+```
+
+### 2. consolidation-report.json 确认
+
+```json
+{
+  "variant_count": 3,  // 明确显示只有3个变体
+  "variants": [
+    {"id": "style-1"},
+    {"id": "style-2"},
+    {"id": "style-3"}
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+### 3. PREVIEW.md 显示异常
+
+```markdown
+- **Style Variants:** 4  ⚠️ 与实际不符
+- **Total Prototypes:** 24  (4 × 3 × 2 = 24)
+```
+
+### 4. 脚本auto_detect_style_variants()函数
+
+```bash
+# 位置：.claude/scripts/ui-instantiate-prototypes.sh 第52-71行
+auto_detect_style_variants() {
+    local base_path="$1"
+    local style_dir="$base_path/../style-consolidation"
+
+    # 统计style-*目录数量
+    local count=$(find "$style_dir" -maxdepth 1 -type d -name "style-*" | wc -l)
+    echo "$count"
+}
+```
+
+**验证测试**：
+```bash
+cd .workflow/.design/run-20251009-210559/style-consolidation
+find . -maxdepth 1 -type d -name "style-*" | wc -l
+# 输出：3 ✅ 函数逻辑正确
+```
+
+## 根本原因分析
+
+### ⚠️ 参数覆盖问题
+
+脚本虽然有自动检测功能，但**允许手动参数覆盖**：
+
+```bash
+# 自动检测模式（正确）
+ui-instantiate-prototypes.sh prototypes/  # 会自动检测到3个样式
+
+# 手动模式（错误来源）
+ui-instantiate-prototypes.sh prototypes/ "login,sidebar" 4 3  # 强制指定4个样式变体 ❌
+```
+
+### 🔍 实际调用场景
+
+根据工作流命令 `.claude/commands/workflow/ui-design/generate.md` 第79-82行：
+
+```bash
+# Phase 1: Path Resolution & Context Loading
+style_variants = --style-variants OR 3  # 默认为3
+```
+
+**推断的问题来源**：
+1. 工作流命令被手动调用时，传入了 `--style-variants 4`
+2. 这个参数被直接传递给 `ui-instantiate-prototypes.sh` 脚本
+3. 脚本没有验证参数值与实际目录数量是否匹配
+4. 导致生成了引用不存在的style-4目录的HTML文件
+
+## 问题影响
+
+### 生成的style-4文件问题
+
+所有 `*-style-4-*.html` 文件都会出现CSS加载失败：
+
+```html
+<!-- 文件中的CSS引用 -->
+<link rel="stylesheet" href="../style-consolidation/style-4/tokens.css">
+<!-- ❌ 该路径不存在，导致样式无法加载 -->
+```
+
+### 影响范围
+
+- `login-style-4-layout-{1,2,3}.html` - 3个文件 ❌
+- `sidebar-style-4-layout-{1,2,3}.html` - 3个文件 ❌
+- 对应的 `*-notes.md` 文件 - 6个说明文件（内容错误）
+
+## 解决方案
+
+### 方案1：重新生成（推荐）
+
+```bash
+cd .workflow/.design/run-20251009-210559/prototypes
+
+# 删除错误的style-4文件
+rm -f *-style-4-*
+
+# 重新运行脚本（使用自动检测）
+~/.claude/scripts/ui-instantiate-prototypes.sh . --session-id run-20251009-210559
+```
+
+### 方案2：脚本增强（预防）
+
+在 `ui-instantiate-prototypes.sh` 中添加参数验证：
+
+```bash
+# 在第239行之后添加
+# Validate STYLE_VARIANTS matches actual directories
+actual_styles=$(find "$BASE_PATH/../style-consolidation" -maxdepth 1 -type d -name "style-*" | wc -l)
+if [ "$STYLE_VARIANTS" -gt "$actual_styles" ]; then
+    log_warning "Requested $STYLE_VARIANTS style variants, but only found $actual_styles directories"
+    log_info "Auto-correcting to $actual_styles style variants"
+    STYLE_VARIANTS=$actual_styles
+fi
+```
+
+### 方案3：工作流命令修复
+
+在 `.claude/commands/workflow/ui-design/generate.md` 中添加验证：
+
+```bash
+# Phase 1: Path Resolution & Context Loading (第79-82行之后)
+style_variants = --style-variants OR 3  # Default to 3
+
+# 添加验证逻辑
+actual_styles = count_directories({base_path}/style-consolidation/style-*)
+IF style_variants > actual_styles:
+    WARN: "Requested {style_variants} styles, but only {actual_styles} exist"
+    REPORT: "Auto-correcting to {actual_styles} style variants"
+    style_variants = actual_styles
+
+VALIDATE: 1 <= style_variants <= 5
+```
+
+## 预防措施
+
+1. **优先使用自动检测**：
+   ```bash
+   # ✅ 推荐：让脚本自动检测
+   ui-instantiate-prototypes.sh prototypes/
+
+   # ⚠️ 谨慎：手动指定参数（需确保正确）
+   ui-instantiate-prototypes.sh prototypes/ "login,sidebar" 3 3
+   ```
+
+2. **验证consolidation输出**：
+   ```bash
+   # 生成原型前，先确认样式数量
+   jq '.variant_count' style-consolidation/consolidation-report.json
+   ```
+
+3. **使用工作流命令**：
+   ```bash
+   # 工作流命令会自动处理参数验证
+   /workflow:ui-design:generate --base-path ".workflow/.design/run-xxx"
+   ```
+
+## 技术细节
+
+### 自动检测逻辑流程
+
+```mermaid
+graph TD
+    A[调用脚本] --> B{检查参数数量}
+    B -->|1个参数| C[自动检测模式]
+    B -->|4个参数| D[手动模式]
+    C --> E[检测style目录]
+    D --> F[使用传入参数]
+    E --> G[验证目录存在]
+    F --> G
+    G -->|不匹配| H[⚠️ 生成错误文件]
+    G -->|匹配| I[✅ 正常生成]
+```
+
+### find命令行为
+
+```bash
+# 正确的检测命令
+find style-consolidation -maxdepth 1 -type d -name "style-*"
+# 输出：
+# style-consolidation/style-1
+# style-consolidation/style-2
+# style-consolidation/style-3
+
+# wc -l 统计行数 = 3 ✅
+
+# 注意：style-extraction 不会被匹配（它在父目录）
+# find . -maxdepth 1 -type d -name "style-*"
+# 只会在当前目录搜索，不会递归到子目录
+```
+
+## 总结
+
+### 问题根源
+✅ **确认**：脚本被手动调用时传入了错误的 `--style-variants 4` 参数，但实际只有3个样式目录存在。
+
+### 脚本行为
+✅ **确认**：`auto_detect_style_variants()` 函数逻辑正确，能够正确检测到3个样式目录。
+
+### 修复优先级
+1. 🔴 **立即**：删除错误的style-4文件，重新生成
+2. 🟡 **短期**：在脚本中添加参数验证逻辑
+3. 🟢 **长期**：在工作流命令中添加防护验证
+
+### 最佳实践
+- 优先使用脚本的自动检测模式
+- 在手动指定参数前，先验证 `consolidation-report.json`
+- 使用工作流命令而非直接调用脚本

+# UI设计工作流参数清晰度分析报告
+
+## 📋 执行摘要
+
+**问题来源**：用户手动调用 `/workflow:ui-design:generate` 时传入了 `--style-variants 4`，但实际只有3个样式目录存在，导致生成了引用不存在CSS文件的 `style-4` 原型。
+
+**根本原因**：工作流命令链中参数命名不一致、验证缺失、文档说明不清晰。
+
+## 🔍 关键发现
+
+### 1. 参数命名不一致
+
+| 命令 | 参数名称 | 默认值 | 说明 |
+|------|---------|--------|------|
+| `extract` | `--variants` | 1 | ⚠️ 未在文档中明确说明默认值 |
+| `consolidate` | `--variants` | 所有变体 | ⚠️ 与extract同名但语义不同 |
+| `generate` | `--style-variants` | 3 | ⚠️ 名称不一致，默认值说明不清晰 |
+
+**问题**：
+- `extract` 和 `consolidate` 使用 `--variants`，但 `generate` 使用 `--style-variants`
+- `--variants` 在两个命令中含义不同：
+  - `extract`：生成多少个变体
+  - `consolidate`：处理多少个变体
+
+### 2. 命名转换混淆
+
+```
+extract 输出        → consolidate 处理      → generate 使用
+variant-1           → style-1/              → login-style-1-layout-1.html
+variant-2           → style-2/              → login-style-2-layout-1.html
+variant-3           → style-3/              → login-style-3-layout-1.html
+```
+
+**问题**：
+- `variant-N` 到 `style-N` 的转换没有文档说明
+- 增加了用户的认知负担
+- 容易造成混淆和错误
+
+### 3. 验证缺失
+
+#### ❌ 当前状态（generate.md 第79-82行）
+
+```bash
+# Phase 1: Path Resolution & Context Loading
+style_variants = --style-variants OR 3  # Default to 3
+VALIDATE: 1 <= style_variants <= 5
+```
+
+**问题**：
+- ✅ 验证范围（1-5）
+- ❌ 不验证是否匹配实际目录数量
+- ❌ 允许传入 `4` 但实际只有 `3` 个目录
+
+#### ✅ 应有的验证
+
+```bash
+style_variants = --style-variants OR 3
+actual_styles = count_directories({base_path}/style-consolidation/style-*)
+
+IF style_variants > actual_styles:
+    WARN: "Requested {style_variants} styles, but only {actual_styles} exist"
+    REPORT: "Auto-correcting to {actual_styles} style variants"
+    style_variants = actual_styles
+
+VALIDATE: 1 <= style_variants <= actual_styles
+```
+
+### 4. 文档清晰度问题
+
+#### extract.md
+
+**问题点**：
+- ⚠️ 默认值 `1` 未在 `usage` 或 `argument-hint` 中说明
+- ⚠️ 输出的 `variant-N` 命名未解释后续转换为 `style-N`
+
+**当前文档**（第580行附近）：
+```
+"id": "variant-2"  # 缺少说明这会成为 style-2 目录
+```
+
+#### consolidate.md
+
+**问题点**：
+- ⚠️ `--variants` 与 `extract` 同名但语义不同
+- ⚠️ 默认行为（处理所有变体）不够突出
+- ⚠️ `variant-N` → `style-N` 转换未文档化
+
+#### generate.md
+
+**问题点**：
+- ⚠️ `--style-variants` 名称与前置命令不一致
+- ⚠️ 默认值 `3` 的来源和意义不清晰
+- ⚠️ 自动检测机制未说明
+- ❌ 手动覆盖无验证
+
+**当前文档**（第79-82行）：
+```bash
+style_variants = --style-variants OR 3  # Default to 3
+VALIDATE: 1 <= style_variants <= 5
+```
+
+## 💡 改进方案
+
+### 方案1：代码层面改进（推荐）
+
+#### 1.1 统一参数命名
+
+```diff
+# extract.md
+- usage: /workflow:ui-design:extract [--variants <count>]
++ usage: /workflow:ui-design:extract [--style-variants <count>]
+
+# consolidate.md
+- usage: /workflow:ui-design:consolidate [--variants <count>]
++ usage: /workflow:ui-design:consolidate [--style-variants <count>]
+
+# generate.md (保持不变)
+  usage: /workflow:ui-design:generate [--style-variants <count>]
+```
+
+**优点**：
+- ✅ 全链路参数名称统一
+- ✅ 语义清晰（style-variants）
+- ✅ 降低混淆风险
+
+#### 1.2 添加验证逻辑（关键）
+
+##### generate.md 改进
+
+```bash
+# Phase 1: Path Resolution & Context Loading
+style_variants = --style-variants OR 3  # Default to 3
+
+# 🆕 添加验证逻辑
+actual_styles = count_directories({base_path}/style-consolidation/style-*)
+
+IF actual_styles == 0:
+    ERROR: "No style directories found in {base_path}/style-consolidation/"
+    SUGGEST: "Run /workflow:ui-design:consolidate first"
+    EXIT 1
+
+IF style_variants > actual_styles:
+    WARN: "⚠️ Requested {style_variants} style variants, but only {actual_styles} directories exist"
+    REPORT: "   Auto-correcting to {actual_styles} style variants"
+    REPORT: "   Available styles: {list_directories(style-consolidation/style-*)}"
+    style_variants = actual_styles
+
+VALIDATE: 1 <= style_variants <= actual_styles
+```
+
+##### ui-instantiate-prototypes.sh 改进
+
+在脚本第239行之后添加：
+

+    fi
+fi
+```
+
+#### 1.3 统一命名约定
+
+##### extract.md 改进
+
+修改输出格式（第580行附近）：
+
+```diff
+# style-cards.json 格式
+{
+  "style_cards": [
+    {
+-     "id": "variant-1",
++     "id": "style-1",
+      "name": "Modern Minimalist",
+      ...
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+### 方案2：文档层面改进
+
+#### 2.1 extract.md 文档改进
+
+```markdown
+## Parameters
+
+- `--style-variants <count>`: Number of style variants to extract. **Default: 1**
+  - Range: 1-5
+  - Each variant will become an independent design system (style-1, style-2, etc.)
+  - Output IDs use `style-N` format for consistency across the workflow
+
+## Output Format
+
+style-cards.json uses `style-N` IDs that directly correspond to directory names
+created by the consolidate command:
+
+- `style-1` → `style-consolidation/style-1/`
+- `style-2` → `style-consolidation/style-2/`
+```
+
+#### 2.2 consolidate.md 文档改进
+
+```markdown
+## Parameters
+
+- `--style-variants <count>`: Number of style variants to process from style-cards.json.
+  **Default: all available variants**
+  - Processes the first N variants from the style-cards array
+  - Creates separate `style-{n}` directories for each variant
+  - Range: 1 to count available in style-cards.json
+
+## Naming Convention
+
+Variants from extraction are materialized into style directories:
+- Input: `style-cards.json` with `style-1`, `style-2`, `style-3`
+- Output: `style-consolidation/style-1/`, `style-2/`, `style-3/` directories
+```
+
+#### 2.3 generate.md 文档改进
+
+```markdown
+## Parameters
+
+- `--style-variants <count>`: Number of style variants to generate prototypes for.
+  **Default: 3** (can be overridden)
+  - Range: 1-5
+  - ⚠️ **IMPORTANT**: This value MUST match the number of style-* directories in style-consolidation/
+  - If mismatched, the command will auto-correct to the actual directory count
+  - Use auto-detection (omit parameter) for safety
+
+## Auto-Detection vs Manual Override
+
+The command uses intelligent auto-detection:
+
+1. **Auto-Detection** (Recommended):
+   ```bash
+   /workflow:ui-design:generate --base-path ".workflow/.design/run-xxx"
+   # Automatically counts style-1/, style-2/, style-3/ → uses 3
+   ```
+
+2. **Manual Override** (Use with caution):
+   ```bash
+   /workflow:ui-design:generate --style-variants 4
+   # If only 3 styles exist, auto-corrects to 3 with warning
+   ```
+
+3. **Safety Check**:
+   - Command validates against actual `style-consolidation/style-*` directories
+   - Prevents generation of prototypes referencing non-existent styles
+   - Displays warning and auto-corrects if mismatch detected
+```
+
+### 方案3：用户指南改进
+
+创建 `.claude/commands/workflow/ui-design/README.md`：
+
+```markdown
+# UI Design Workflow Parameter Guide
+
+## Style Variant Count Flow
+
+### 1. Extract Phase
+```bash
+/workflow:ui-design:extract --style-variants 3
+# Generates: style-cards.json with 3 style variants (style-1, style-2, style-3)
+```
+
+### 2. Consolidate Phase
+```bash
+/workflow:ui-design:consolidate --style-variants 3
+# Creates: style-consolidation/style-1/, style-2/, style-3/
+```
+
+### 3. Generate Phase
+```bash
+# ✅ Recommended: Let it auto-detect
+/workflow:ui-design:generate --base-path ".workflow/.design/run-xxx"
+
+# ⚠️ Manual: Must match consolidation output
+/workflow:ui-design:generate --style-variants 3
+```
+
+## ⚠️ Common Mistakes
+
+### Mistake 1: Mismatched Counts
+```bash
+# ❌ Wrong: Request 4 styles when only 3 exist
+/workflow:ui-design:generate --style-variants 4
+# Only 3 directories in style-consolidation/ → ERROR
+
+# ✅ Correct: Omit parameter for auto-detection
+/workflow:ui-design:generate --base-path ".workflow/.design/run-xxx"
+```
+
+### Mistake 2: Naming Confusion
+```bash
+# ❌ Don't confuse variant-N with style-N
+# variant-N was old naming in style-cards.json
+# style-N is the current standard across all commands
+```
+
+## 🎯 Best Practices
+
+1. **Use auto-detection**: Omit `--style-variants` in generate command
+2. **Verify consolidation**: Check `consolidation-report.json` before generating
+3. **Use explore-auto**: Automated workflow prevents parameter mismatches
+4. **Check directories**: `ls .workflow/.design/run-xxx/style-consolidation/`
+```
+

+## 📊 改进效果预测
+
+### 实施前
+
+```
+用户手动调用: /workflow:ui-design:generate --style-variants 4
+实际目录数: 3
+结果: ❌ 生成 login-style-4-layout-1.html 引用不存在的 CSS
+```
+
+### 实施后
+
+```
+用户手动调用: /workflow:ui-design:generate --style-variants 4
+实际目录数: 3
+
+验证检查:
+⚠️ Requested 4 style variants, but only 3 directories exist
+   Available: style-1, style-2, style-3
+   Auto-correcting to 3 style variants
+
+结果: ✅ 生成正确的 style-1, style-2, style-3 原型，避免错误
+```
+
+## 🔧 快速修复指南（针对当前问题）
+
+### 立即修复生成的错误文件
+
+```bash
+cd .workflow/.design/run-20251009-210559/prototypes
+
+# 删除错误的 style-4 文件
+rm -f *-style-4-*
+
+# 重新生成（使用自动检测）
+~/.claude/scripts/ui-instantiate-prototypes.sh . --session-id run-20251009-210559
+```
+
+### 预防未来错误
+
+```bash
+# ✅ 推荐：使用自动检测
+/workflow:ui-design:generate --base-path ".workflow/.design/run-xxx"
+
+# ⚠️ 如果必须手动指定，先验证
+jq '.variant_count' .workflow/.design/run-xxx/style-consolidation/consolidation-report.json
+# 输出: 3
+# 然后使用该数字
+/workflow:ui-design:generate --style-variants 3
+```
+
