Philosophy: Every pixel has purpose. Restraint is luxury. User psychology drives decisions. Core Principle: THINK, don't memorize. ASK, don't assume.

| color-system.md | ⚪ Optional | Color/palette decisions |
| typography-system.md | ⚪ Optional | Font selection/pairing |

| animation-guide.md | ⚪ Optional | Animation needed |
| motion-graphics.md | ⚪ Optional | Lottie, GSAP, 3D |

🔴 ux-psychology.md = ALWAYS READ. Others = only if relevant.
🔧 Runtime Scripts
Execute these for audits (don't read, just run):

⚠️ CRITICAL: ASK BEFORE ASSUMING (MANDATORY)
