Gather design context for this project, then persist it for all future sessions.

Step 1: Explore the Codebase

Before asking questions, thoroughly scan the project to discover what you can:

• README and docs: Project purpose, target audience, any stated goals
• Package.json / config files: Tech stack, dependencies, existing design libraries
• Existing components: Current design patterns, spacing, typography in use
• Brand assets: Logos, favicons, color values already defined
• Design tokens / CSS variables: Existing color palettes, font stacks, spacing scales
• Any style guides or brand documentation

Note what you've learned and what remains unclear.

Step 2: Ask UX-Focused Questions

ask the user directly to clarify what you cannot infer. Focus only on what you couldn't infer from the codebase:

Users & Purpose

• Who uses this? What's their context when using it?
• What job are they trying to get done?
• What emotions should the interface evoke? (confidence, delight, calm, urgency, etc.)

Brand & Personality

• How would you describe the brand personality in 3 words?
• Any reference sites or apps that capture the right feel? What specifically about them?
• What should this explicitly NOT look like? Any anti-references?

Aesthetic Preferences

• Any strong preferences for visual direction? (minimal, bold, elegant, playful, technical, organic, etc.)
• Light mode, dark mode, or both?
• Any colors that must be used or avoided?

Accessibility & Inclusion

• Specific accessibility requirements? (WCAG level, known user needs)
• Considerations for reduced motion, color blindness, or other accommodations?

Skip questions where the answer is already clear from the codebase exploration.

Step 3: Write Design Context

Synthesize your findings and the user's answers, then update docs/dev/design.md -- this repo's canonical home for product design context, routed from the root CLAUDE.md's Development Standards list. Update the relevant existing sections in place (## Users, ## Brand Personality, ## Aesthetic Direction, ## Design Principles), preserving the file's # Product Design Context structure and leaving sections you did not gather new answers for (such as ## Design Tokens Reference and ## Accessibility) intact. Do not append a duplicate section or write design context anywhere else.

Confirm completion and summarize the key design principles that will now guide all future work.
