# Taste Visual Direction

This project-local adaptation uses stable Taste Skill concepts while keeping docs/design/DESIGN.md as the visual source of truth.

1. Read the brief, audience, product task, existing UI, and design baseline.
2. Set three explicit dials from 1 to 10: layout variance, motion intensity, and visual density.
3. Define type scale, spatial rhythm, grid, focal hierarchy, color roles, and interaction tone.
4. Reject generic centered heroes, interchangeable card grids, decorative gradients, and motion without product meaning.
5. Update the project design contract before implementation.
6. Verify narrow and wide layouts using real content, long labels, empty states, and errors.

Distinctive does not mean noisy. Preserve accessibility, readability, and task completion when aesthetics conflict.
