Copy self-audit and ban-lists — filler verbs/hype adjectives, slop placeholder names, fake-precise numbers, Title Case headlines, humor in error copy ('Oops!'), em-dash crutch, one copy register per page.
development
Logged-in web apps — dashboards, auth flows, settings, onboarding, data tables, command palettes, modals, toasts. Register `product`: density and glance-speed over marketing polish, no hero/CTA-tricks, every data surface covers empty/loading/error explicitly, tables and dataviz follow preattentive-processing rules.
development
Marketing sites, landing pages, campaign pages — register `brand` (design IS the product). Structure comes from the register's POV + a macrostructure pick, never from copying an inspiration site's section flow. Hero discipline, deviated section order, asymmetric grids, and a silhouette lookalike-test gate before ship.
development
Token-strategy core — OKLCH color rules, neutral tinting, accent-commitment levels, type scale, 8pt spacing grid, touch targets, and the canonical output format of design-system.md (the file the harness gates on). This is routing step 1 of design-method/SKILL.md — read it before design-web/design-webapp/design-ios/design-android, before picking or auditing a single color/type/spacing value.
