Skill text: invoke the impeccable launcher instead of node scripts
Every `node {{scripts_path}}/<name>.mjs` becomes `{{scripts_path}}/impeccable <verb>`
(context-signals -> signals, hook-admin -> hooks). Setup step 1 drops Node, points
Windows shells without sh at impeccable.cmd, and says the launcher runs a
self-contained binary. allowed-tools follows.
Prepared with AI assistance (Claude Code).

The detector rules run in two tiers. The per-edit hook surfaces only the immediate tier: mechanical, unambiguous problems worth interrupting an edit for, such as broken images, overflowing or clipped content, contrast and legibility failures, gradient text, glow shadows, and design-system drift. Everything else (copy cadence, palette and typography taste, layout rhythm) is deferred to a deep pass on the `Stop` hook event, which runs the full rule set over every UI file touched in the session and surfaces the remaining findings once, deduplicated against what the per-edit pass already reported. A session with nothing left to report stops silently. Set `hook.perEditRules` to `"all"` in `.impeccable/config.json` to restore the full rule set on every edit. The Stop deep pass is wired for Claude Code, Codex, and Grok Build, which dispatch a native `Stop` hook event. Cursor does not get one (its stop hook is not consistently dispatched; the pre-write gate covers it), and GitHub Copilot's stop-style events do not feed context back to the model, so they keep the full detector per edit. Grok also fires an observe-only Stop with `reason: "shutdown"` after `end_turn`; skip that one, scan only `end_turn`.

## Constraints
|
||||
|
||||
- Never modify `.impeccable/config.json` or `.impeccable/config.local.json` by hand from this command. Always go through `hook-admin.mjs` so writes stay validated and the file shape stays consistent. One exception: `detector.extensions` has no admin action, so when the user asks to cover a template stack, edit that one field in `.impeccable/config.json` directly and leave the rest of the file untouched.
|
||||
- Do not edit the hook scripts themselves (`hook.mjs`, `hook-lib.mjs`, `hook-before-edit.mjs`) from this flow. Those are skill plumbing.
|
||||
- Never modify `.impeccable/config.json` or `.impeccable/config.local.json` by hand from this command. Always go through `impeccable hooks` so writes stay validated and the file shape stays consistent. One exception: `detector.extensions` has no admin action, so when the user asks to cover a template stack, edit that one field in `.impeccable/config.json` directly and leave the rest of the file untouched.
|
||||
- Do not edit the launcher or the binary behind `impeccable hook` and `impeccable hook-before-edit` from this flow. Those are skill plumbing.
|
||||
- Cursor can block a proposed write when the detector finds a real issue. Claude Code, Codex, and GitHub Copilot do not block the edit; they emit a post-edit reminder instead. Disabling stops both blocking and reminders.
|
||||
- The hook is bundled with the Impeccable skill and installed through project-local manifests: `.claude/settings.local.json`, `.codex/hooks.json`, `.cursor/hooks.json`, and `.github/hooks/impeccable.json`. On Codex, the user must approve the hook via `/hooks` the first time. On Cursor, confirm hooks are enabled under Settings -> Hooks. On GitHub Copilot, the CLI loads `.github/hooks/impeccable.json` once it is committed to the repository's default branch, and the cloud agent reads it from the repo directly.
|
||||
|
||||
## Failure modes
|
||||
|
||||
- If `.impeccable/config.json` or `.impeccable/config.local.json` is unreadable or malformed, the hook ignores that file and uses the remaining valid config/defaults. `hook-admin.mjs status` will show malformed files as ignored.
|
||||
- If `.impeccable/config.json` or `.impeccable/config.local.json` is unreadable or malformed, the hook ignores that file and uses the remaining valid config/defaults. `impeccable hooks status` will show malformed files as ignored.
|
||||
- If the user asks to "disable the hook" globally, lead with `{{command_prefix}}impeccable hooks off` (persistent for this project; writes `hook.enabled: false` to config). The legacy `IMPECCABLE_HOOK_DISABLED=1` env var also works as a one-shot override that follows the shell.

When image generation is available and no `buildPath` is recorded yet, ask once how new surfaces should be built. Availability means a harness-native image tool or the API fallback that context.mjs reports as `IMAGE_GEN_AVAILABLE`, and the first of those leaves no trace in the boot output: context.mjs only sees the key, so a silent boot on a harness that generates images is not evidence there is nothing to ask about.

Write the answer to `.impeccable/config.json` as `"buildPath": "comp"` or `"buildPath": "code"`, merging with the keys already there. Write only the value the user chose. A recommendation you made is not an answer you received, and a value taken from silence is a standing default nobody set: it then rides every future round in the project, which is the opposite of asking once. When the question goes unanswered, record nothing and say in one line which path this session is taking and that it is not stored. That path is comp-first, the default new-work applies wherever image generation exists and nothing is recorded; name it rather than choosing a quieter one, because a silent default invented here is the same failure as a value written without an answer. Unset is a working state, not a gap: the decision page's toggle governs each session, and new-work's one-time offer records the answer the first time the user flips it. The config is the only place this lives. It is a workflow setting, not product truth, so it never joins `## Stack` or any other PRODUCT.md section, where a second copy would outlive the setting and steer rounds nobody could trace back to it.

4. On `generate`: reuse `event.scaffold` when present; read the screenshot if present; load the action's reference; deliver variants; `--reply done`; poll again. Generate in this thread: you already hold the project's tokens and layout. The overlay preview IS the verification channel; do not screenshot, re-render, or QA variants between generate and accept. Apply craft-floor's contrast, spacing, and type floors by construction as you write; full verification runs once at accept on the chosen variant.

Run directly with no preflight scaffold, it writes the wrapper itself and you splice variants at `insertLine`. `styleMode` controls how preview CSS must be authored. Treat it as a detected capability mode, not a framework guess: `scoped` means `@scope ([data-impeccable-variant="N"])` rules; `astro-global-prefixed` means explicit `[data-impeccable-variant="N"]` prefixes with the exact returned `styleTag`.

For Svelte/SvelteKit targets, `live-wrap.mjs` returns `previewMode: "svelte-component"` with `file` pointing at a temporary `node_modules/.impeccable-live/<id>/manifest.json`, `componentDir` holding the variant components, and `sourceFile` the real route. The scaffold is AST-based: control-flow blocks (`{#each}`, `{#if}`) survive intact and a free each-collection crosses the contract as ONE structured prop (kind `collection`). The payload includes `componentStubMarkup` (the prop-substituted markup already written into every stub), so do not read the manifest or stubs back. EDIT `v1.svelte`, `v2.svelte`, ... in place; never delete and recreate them; keep the stub's control flow and `propContract` prop names; never flatten a loop into literal items. The stub `<style>` arrives seeded with the source rules that currently style the selection; restyle or delete them freely. On accept, any seeded rule your variant does not re-declare is REMOVED from the source (the preview never applied it, so the user approved a design without it). Use semantic class selectors, no `@scope`, no `data-impeccable-*`. Reply with `--file` set to the manifest path; the browser mounts the compiled components so Svelte HMR does not reset page state. Accept merges the chosen component back mechanically (markup restored to route expressions, CSS reconciled, params baked, indentation preserved); you have no post-accept cleanup on this path. When the selection contains constructs a detached preview cannot support (component tags, `bind:`/`use:`, await blocks, inline scripts, spread attributes), wrap returns the normal source-preview wrapper with `previewFallback: { from: "svelte-component", reason }`; just follow the returned shape.

EDIT `v1.svelte`, `v2.svelte`, ... in place; never delete and recreate them; keep the stub's control flow and `propContract` prop names; never flatten a loop into literal items. The stub `<style>` arrives seeded with the source rules that currently style the selection; restyle or delete them freely. On accept, any seeded rule your variant does not re-declare is REMOVED from the source (the preview never applied it, so the user approved a design without it). Use semantic class selectors, no `@scope`, no `data-impeccable-*`. Reply with `--file` set to the manifest path; the browser mounts the compiled components so Svelte HMR does not reset page state. Accept merges the chosen component back mechanically (markup restored to route expressions, CSS reconciled, params baked, indentation preserved); you have no post-accept cleanup on this path. When the selection contains constructs a detached preview cannot support (component tags, `bind:`/`use:`, await blocks, inline scripts, spread attributes), wrap returns the normal source-preview wrapper with `previewFallback: { from: "svelte-component", reason }`; just follow the returned shape.

## Handle fallback
|
||||
|
||||
When wrap returns `fallback: "agent-driven"`, you pick the source file yourself; the goal is unchanged: three preview variants now, and the accepted one persisted where the next build cannot wipe it.
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Find where the element really lives** from the error payload: `element_not_in_source` + `generatedMatch` means the served HTML is generated, so find the generator's template or partial; `element_not_found` means runtime-injected, so find the rendering component or data source; `file_is_generated` resolves the same way. A purely visual change may belong in a shared stylesheet rather than a template.
|
||||
2. **Preview in the served file**: manually write the same wrapper scaffold `live-wrap.mjs` produces (`<!-- impeccable-variants-start ID --><div data-impeccable-variants="ID" data-impeccable-variant-count="3" style="display: contents">…</div><!-- end -->`) into the file the browser actually loaded, insert your variant divs, `--reply EVENT_ID done --file <served file>`. This edit is temporary; a regen wiping it is fine.

This edit is temporary; a regen wiping it is fine.
|
||||
3. **On accept, write to true source** (accept refuses generated files, so `_acceptResult.handled` is usually `false` here): structural change → template/component source; visual-only → the right stylesheet; content rendered from data → the data source or render logic. Then remove the temporary wrapper from the served file.
|
||||
4. **On discard**, just remove the temporary wrapper.

### Create or replace the visual world
|
||||
|
||||
1. Name the product's unique mechanism in one sentence, the audience's real scene, its cultural home, and what this first surface must prove. Note the page this category always ships and its predictable opposite; both are the rut, kept out of the seven-candidate list. A brief that paints its own picture, a product name, a titled artifact, a governing metaphor, adds its literal reading to the rut: spend at most one candidate on it and derive the rest from elsewhere in the audience's world.
|
||||
2. From that cultural world, list seven concrete visual systems, artifacts, places, or rituals the audience knows by heart, each with one line on why it resonates and can carry the mechanism, ordered by resonance. The audience's world includes its graphic and screen traditions, not only its physical objects: the notation, publications, identity programs, data graphics, and interfaces it reads daily. A nameable abstract system (a school of poster, a documentation standard) is as concrete a candidate as any artifact. What would this thing look like as a physical object; what did its world look like before the web? Near-duplicates count once. When more than three of the seven share one material family, the derivation stopped at the subject's most obvious artifact; dig until the list spans at least three families.
|
||||
3. Turn that material into complete directions: each joins a reusable visual world to a concrete first-surface experience.
|
||||
4. Run `node {{scripts_path}}/concept-seed.mjs --scope direction --mode <mode>` and follow what it prints. No substitute, no skip: on a new or replacement world, writing artifact code before this script has run and its assignment is acknowledged is a contract violation, whatever the harness, the model, or the time pressure; the roll is what keeps every run from converging on the category default. The script assigns the direction to build and deals catalog challengers. Fuse each challenger before judging it: the challenger supplies the form and its system grammar, the product supplies every fact, clarity wins conflicts. Weigh fused challengers against the assigned direction on exactly two axes, audience identification and product clarity. Losing to strong grounded material is a valid outcome; beating a thin or tool-monoculture list is the point. Close with a verdict per challenger, decided before any borrowing: wins (beats the assigned direction on both axes; becomes the build candidate), competitive (holds one axis; stays a full alternate), or declined (loses both). A declined challenger is not spent: name the one discipline of its system the assigned direction lacks, and raise the assigned direction to match before presenting it. A donation transfers ambition and system discipline (a palette's total commitment, a grid's density courage, a form's structural honesty), never the challenger's clothes; a lifted motif is a costume note, not a raise, and one world owns the page.

5. Present one direction, fully committed and already raised by the hand it beat, raises visible as named lines: world, first viewport, visitor path, signature interaction, cross-surface reach, honest risk. Route each challenger by verdict: winning and competitive challengers are full alternates with their QUALITY BAR cards and one-line case; declined challengers render demoted, compact and quiet, each carrying its verdict and what the direction kept from it, never full-size, never silently dropped, still adoptable on request. The verdict informs the user's choice, never pre-empts it; the demoted row is the hand's proof of judgment. A hand holds at most three full-card challengers: when the roll deals more, the three strongest join and the rest wait in the re-roll pool, noted in one line; dropping a challenger from the hand itself takes a named product-truth failure, disclosed. Add one card for your own top-ranked grounded candidate when it is not the assigned direction, kicker IMPECCABLE’S PICK, same anatomy as every card, with an honest risk line naming its familiarity when true: the strongest grounded direction is often where most runs in this category land, and the user deciding that trade is the point of showing it. Familiar and effective is a legitimate destination, not a failure of nerve; the pick card and the standing exit serve it at two depths. One pick card, never two, never a ranked list: a lineup of your candidates hands selection back to a taste function and invites the safest card. The pick never takes the lead position; when the dice assign your top candidate there is no pick card, and the assigned card notes it topped your list. Add re-roll with an optional one-line steer, in three registers: plain (a fresh hand, same spread), safer (your remaining conventional grounded candidates plus the canon against named competitors), bolder (foreign forms only, at full commitment). The register is the user's steering on the familiar-to-bold axis, never yours to pre-select; when the answer carries one, re-run the seed with `--register <value>` and the next `--reroll` round, and follow what it prints. A user saying "bolder" or "safer" while a direction round is open means these registers, never the bolder or harden commands. The two channels share this structure and differ only in richness: cards and boards on the decision page, names and one-liners through the structured tool, whose option list carries the assigned direction, the pick, the winning and competitive challengers, and the standing exit last; declined challengers fold into the assigned option's description as their kept lines, so the raise survives the text channel. <!-- rule:skill-pick-card-one-only -->

The standing exit: every direction round offers one quiet, permanent alternative, the category standard, played straight. It is the user's door, never yours: never recommend it, never weigh it against the roll, never let it soften the dealt directions; the counterweights bind the unchosen default, not the chosen one. When the user takes it (the canon action, a safer-steer, or plain words asking for the familiar or competitor-like path), convention becomes the commitment: ask once for two or three products this should sit alongside, make their craft level the bar, and execute the canon at full fidelity, without irony or smuggled quirk. Record a standing preference as a brand commitment in PRODUCT.md. <!-- rule:skill-canon-standing-exit --> Re-roll eliminates every direction already shown, grounded and challenger alike; after two consecutive re-rolls, ask what quality is missing. Re-roll on your own only on named factual grounds, when the assigned direction cannot carry the product's truth or task; taste is never grounds. The user may re-roll freely, and a user- or brief-pinned direction beats the roll, always. <!-- rule:skill-assigned-plus-reroll --> Present the decision visually: write an options payload with the assigned direction leading, its raised lines included; the pick card when one exists; the dealt challengers as alternates with their QUALITY BAR cards, verdicts, and kept lines; re-roll with its safer and bolder registers; steer; canon enabled; and `buildPath` carrying the recorded default with `toggle: true` whenever image generation exists (details in the build-path paragraph below). A degraded roll with no challengers still uses the page, as a single text-only card with re-roll. Give every card the same anatomy: thesis, palette, materials, first viewport, honest risk, and the challengers' case lines (`--schema` prints the exact shape); the page renders identity from these fields, demotes declined challengers to their row on its own, and a challenger's catalog image rides as labeled inspiration, never the promise of the build. Author `canonCard` too: the category standard as one honest card, same anatomy; the page keeps it subordinate, and the counterweights still bind you. Run `node {{scripts_path}}/serve-question.mjs --start --payload <file>` (`--schema` first for the payload shape). It daemonizes, prints the page URL and a key, and exits; open that URL for the user, in-app browser first, then the system opener, then showing the URL. Collect the choice with `--wait --key <key>`, repeating while it exits 3; the ANSWER prints as JSON. An ANSWER of `{"optionId":"reroll"}` keeps the server alive and the page open on a loading hand: rerun concept-seed with the same `--scope` and `--mode` plus `--from <seed-key> --reroll <n>` (1 on the first re-roll, counting up), build the next payload, deliver it with `--update --key <same key> --payload <file>`, then return to `--wait` on that key. Never `--start` a second server or fall back to chat here: either strands the open tab on a hand that never arrives. Exit 4 means the page closed unanswered: re-present once through the structured question tool, and with no answer there either, proceed unattended with the assigned direction and state the assumptions. A harness that can leave a shell blocked in the background may run the script without `--start` and let it auto-open and block. Never predict the fallback: run the script, and only exit code 2 from starting it routes the decision to the structured tool; that exit is the fallback, never an error to retry. <!-- rule:skill-visual-decision-page -->

Give every card the same anatomy: thesis, palette, materials, first viewport, honest risk, and the challengers' case lines (`--schema` prints the exact shape); the page renders identity from these fields, demotes declined challengers to their row on its own, and a challenger's catalog image rides as labeled inspiration, never the promise of the build. Author `canonCard` too: the category standard as one honest card, same anatomy; the page keeps it subordinate, and the counterweights still bind you. Run `{{scripts_path}}/impeccable serve-question --start --payload <file>` (`--schema` first for the payload shape). It daemonizes, prints the page URL and a key, and exits; open that URL for the user, in-app browser first, then the system opener, then showing the URL. Collect the choice with `--wait --key <key>`, repeating while it exits 3; the ANSWER prints as JSON. An ANSWER of `{"optionId":"reroll"}` keeps the server alive and the page open on a loading hand: rerun concept-seed with the same `--scope` and `--mode` plus `--from <seed-key> --reroll <n>` (1 on the first re-roll, counting up), build the next payload, deliver it with `--update --key <same key> --payload <file>`, then return to `--wait` on that key. Never `--start` a second server or fall back to chat here: either strands the open tab on a hand that never arrives. Exit 4 means the page closed unanswered: re-present once through the structured question tool, and with no answer there either, proceed unattended with the assigned direction and state the assumptions. A harness that can leave a shell blocked in the background may run the script without `--start` and let it auto-open and block. Never predict the fallback: run the script, and only exit code 2 from starting it routes the decision to the structured tool; that exit is the fallback, never an error to retry. <!-- rule:skill-visual-decision-page -->
|
||||
|
||||
When image generation exists, every card also declares a `comp` path under `.impeccable/mocks/decision/`, the canon card included. Where the harness sandboxes its shell, start the page through the least-sandboxed command path it offers: a sandboxed shell cannot bind the board's port, and the first-attempt failure costs a retry every session. Serve the page first, then produce the comps; the page shimmer-waits per slot and the user may answer before they land. Each card's image is that direction's north-star comp at full fidelity under [visualize.md](visualize.md)'s comp discipline: the requested surface's first viewport, structure-led prompt, real product name and real content, no invented commercial claims, in that card's own palette, type character, and material world, committed all the way. Generation takes the same time at any fidelity, so an unfinished draft pays comp cost for draft quality; fairness between cards is equal fidelity in each card's own grammar, one surface, one aspect, never shared unfinishedness. The frame's aspect is the surface's own: portrait at device viewport for a native app or mobile-first surface, landscape for desktop web; the decision page adapts to either, and a phone screen comped landscape is a broken frame, not a neutral default. Produce in reading order, the assigned card, then the pick, then the full-card hand, then canon, each file written with its prompt sidecar the moment it is done, so a re-roll's spend front-loads onto the cards read first; declined challengers get no comp, their catalog thumb is their face. With parallel subagents, fan out one agent per card: each spawn is the shipped asset producer with a single-comp packet, that card's fields, PRODUCT.md, the shared frame, and the card's declared path, up to four in flight. Regenerate inline any slot still empty when its agent returns; drop without ceremony any slot still empty when the user answers. No other supervision is owed. Without parallel subagents, generate in the main thread after serving, same order, and let the harness's own generation display carry the progress; the wait for the answer follows the last file. The chosen card's comp is not spent by the choice: comp-led, it enters the comp round as compositional option one; code-led, it returns at the finish review as the critique reference, what the image dared that the build did not. Unchosen comps stay in `.impeccable/mocks/decision/` as the round's spent hand; they carry no approval and imply none. With no image generation, cards carry their identity in palette chips and facts, and that page is complete, not a lesser version; the page then also demotes every challenger's catalog art to a labeled thumbnail on its own, because salience must encode the verdict, never the accident of which cards have images. <!-- rule:skill-decision-comps-full-fidelity --> <!-- rule:skill-salience-parity -->

Then spawn the shipped finish reviewer, `impeccable-finish-reviewer` (`impeccable_finish_reviewer` in codex; `/impeccable-finish-reviewer` in Cursor; on GitHub Copilot say "Use the impeccable-finish-reviewer agent"), with the original request, confirmed answers, the artifact path, the screenshot paths, the direction contract, existing hook findings, the QUALITY BAR card and approved comp paths (a code-led build has no approved comp; the chosen decision comp rides in that slot as the critique reference, named as such), on a comp-led build the build state (`.impeccable/build/state.json`), the spec, and the diff directories (`.impeccable/review/diff/hero/` and `.impeccable/review/diff/final/`, whose side-by-side, heatmap, region pairs, and `report.json` are the fidelity evidence), the craft-floor reference path, and on a native platform the platform reference path(s), [ios.md](ios.md) / [android.md](android.md), both on adaptive, plus one line saying no detector ran, so the reviewer judges in the platform's conventions rather than the web's. The reviewer has no browser; screenshots you fail to pass are checks it cannot run. Never read the shipped agents' definition files before spawning; the harness loads them at spawn, and you owe only the input packet. Wait on any agent with one long timeout rather than a loop of short polls, and spend the wait on the next independent step. Verify the return carries the five contract sections (a recapture return carries one, its recapture list); on an empty or thrashed return, respawn once with the same inputs. This review never runs inside the build thread and never inherits it: spawn the reviewer fresh, with no forked conversation history (`fork_turns: 0` in codex); a reviewer that inherits your transcript inherits your framing, your optimism, and your abstractions, and everything it needs travels in the inputs above. Only a harness with no subagent capability at all substitutes a fresh in-thread pass after stepping fully out of the build context, run from [degraded/finish-reviewer.md](degraded/finish-reviewer.md), and a substituted or failed-and-replaced review is disclosed in one line at finish, never silently. <!-- rule:skill-finish-separate-reviewer -->

Act on the disposition word; there are exactly four. **recapture**: the evidence failed, not the build. Recapture what the return names under the capture-validity rules, then run a full review over the new evidence. A review conducted on invalid evidence binds nothing, and a verdict pass may never follow it. **rebuild**: fidelity failed wholesale, not in patches. Skip the fix batch and execute the rebuild immediately: re-derive the named regions, produce the named assets, and send the result back for a fresh full review, never a verdict pass; a rebuild replaces regions wholesale, so the whole matrix runs again over the recaptures. Tell the user what is happening rather than asking permission to fix a failure. Consult the user only on a second rebuild directive, both verdicts on the table, or when rebuilding would discard content the user approved. **ship**: nothing is owed; report the verdict at its scope and continue to the documenter. **fix**: apply the material fixes in one batch, rebuild once, and recapture the same viewports over the same files. A recapture measures positions, loading, and overflow; it cannot measure whether a fix reached the quality the finding named, so send the recaptured screenshots back to the same reviewer for a verdict scoring every material fix resolved, partial, or unresolved (through the harness's agent continuation; without one, run the scoring fresh from [degraded/finish-reviewer.md](degraded/finish-reviewer.md)'s Verdict Pass). Fixes scored partial or unresolved get another batch, recapture, and verdict. Two rounds is the budget an unattended run ends at; an attended session's ceiling belongs to the user, so when the second verdict still lists open items, put the table in front of them and let them choose between shipping as it stands and funding another round. Whoever decides, stop the moment a round resolves nothing, and the reviewer's findings are the only list you work from, never your own re-opened hunt. Do not run a second detector. <!-- rule:skill-verdict-bounds-the-finish -->

A rebuild and a fix round share one asset rule: a raster either round creates or replaces is still asset work under [visualize.md](visualize.md)'s Produce section and keeps its **provenance** like every build raster, and a raster the round abandons is deleted in the same batch. Before either round's result goes back for review or verdict, run `node {{scripts_path}}/embed-prompt.mjs --scan <asset-dir...>` over the directories the artifact's rasters ship from and clear every file it reports by embedding what it is missing: the exact generation prompt for a produced raster, the origin for a sourced, stock, or pre-existing one.

Report the final verdict under the reviewer's own disposition word and at its actual scope. A verdict pass scores the listed fixes and nothing else: "the reviewer scored all three fixes resolved" is a claim it supports, "no material issues remain" is not. A table with open material findings is never announced as a pass, never softened, and never dressed as whole-surface approval when only a fix list was scored. When the user answers a ship with evidence against it, their own screenshot, a named mismatch with the comp, that evidence outranks every capture you made: put their material in the packet and spawn a fresh reviewer for a new full review. Patching inline and self-certifying is how a rejected page ships twice. <!-- rule:skill-user-evidence-reopens-review -->

Render three distinct high-fidelity north-star comps of the requested surface, saved under `.impeccable/mocks/` so they survive the session. Comp at the surface's own viewport: portrait at device size for a native app or mobile-first surface, desktop landscape otherwise; a phone screen comped landscape misstates the composition before anything is built against it. Comps are the build thread's own work, never delegated: the thread that writes the prompts holds the direction's full context and has seen every comp when the build starts. Open every image by its workspace-relative path; sandboxed viewers reject absolute paths, and everything under the project root has a relative one. Base the comps on real content and the surface concepts already developed with the user. On an established world, anchor every comp on the real identity: capture a screenshot of a representative existing page and pass it as a reference image (the harness image tool's input image, or `generate-image.mjs --ref`); the prompt leads with the new surface's structure while the reference carries palette, type, and component character, because DESIGN.md words alone drift where a pixel reference does not. Name what the reference contributes and what it must not: chrome, palette, type, and component character carry over; the reference page's own content does not, and a banner, hero, or card lifted verbatim is the reference leaking, not fidelity. Three is the number: one comp invites rubber-stamping; the spread between three surfaces the composition worth building. The chosen card's decision comp is the first of the three: it already renders this direction at full fidelity under this discipline, so generate two more that vary what the first held fixed, and send all three to the approval point together. Only a round arriving with no decision comp (a degraded roll, an identity-mode page, a direction pinned without the decision round) renders all three here.

On an established world, anchor every comp on the real identity: capture a screenshot of a representative existing page and pass it as a reference image (the harness image tool's input image, or `impeccable generate-image --ref`); the prompt leads with the new surface's structure while the reference carries palette, type, and component character, because DESIGN.md words alone drift where a pixel reference does not. Name what the reference contributes and what it must not: chrome, palette, type, and component character carry over; the reference page's own content does not, and a banner, hero, or card lifted verbatim is the reference leaking, not fidelity. Three is the number: one comp invites rubber-stamping; the spread between three surfaces the composition worth building. The chosen card's decision comp is the first of the three: it already renders this direction at full fidelity under this discipline, so generate two more that vary what the first held fixed, and send all three to the approval point together. Only a round arriving with no decision comp (a degraded roll, an identity-mode page, a direction pinned without the decision round) renders all three here.

- A comp is a designed surface, not a picture of the subject. Lead the prompt with the surface's own structure: the regions this design has, named in order with their scale relationships; a page with no navigation says so instead of inventing one, and an unconventional surface states its unconventional skeleton. A prompt that leads with atmosphere gets a vignette back: the model paints the fish market instead of the fish market's website. Self-check every render: if it could hang as a poster, or reads as a photograph with some text on it, it is not a comp; regenerate with the layout scaffold stated more literally.
|
||||
- The inverse is also a failure: a surface with none of its subject in it. The subject appears as the content the regions hold; the world dresses the frame and never displaces what the frame shows. The deletion usually rides in on the prompt's exclusion list, so exclusions bind invented claims, and a medium ban belongs to the committed imagery stance, never to caution. Before accepting a render, point at the subject; a render that depicts everything about the world and nothing of the subject fails however faithful its atmosphere. Regenerate with the subject's content named region by region.

Show the three together on the decision page (`serve-question.mjs`, one option per comp with the comp as its hero), or in the harness only when it renders images inline; a text-only surface does not count as display. Ask what should carry forward, what feels false to the world, and whether the selected concept should be approved, combined, revised, or rejected. Then stop and wait. A structured simulated user counts as attended and receives the same question.

Do not begin code until the user approves a direction or explicitly delegates the choice. If they delegate, choose using the task brief, PRODUCT.md, and DESIGN.md, and state the evidence. Approval refines the task concept; it does not modify DESIGN.md.
|

|
||||
This approval point has no substitute and no skip condition. When the structured question tool errors, fall back to the decision page; only after both fail may you treat the choice as delegated, and a delegated pick is recorded exactly as an approval is and disclosed in your first reply, not your last. The finish reviewer treats comp-round comps with no recorded approval as a material finding; decision comps under `.impeccable/mocks/decision/` are the direction round's hand, not comp-round output, and imply no approval on their own.

||||
|
||||
After approval, record the choice where tools can find it: the approved comp's path goes in the surface brief, and its `.json` prompt sidecar gains `"approved": true` (every comp generated through `generate-image.mjs` has one; create it if a native tool didn't). The sidecar travels with the mocks folder, so the approval survives sessions and machines that never see the brief, and it is what `build-phase.mjs advance` reads to close the comps phase. Summarize the composition and the parts of the comp that must not be literalized, return to new-work.md, record the direction contract from the approved concept, and build.

## Plates and provenance
|
||||
|
||||
Every raster region's plate is produced in the plates phase, before any page code, by the shipped asset producer or in the current thread (`generate-image.mjs --plate <id>`, or the harness image tool with the crop as input and the spec's plate prompt). Generation context is part of the asset: after generating any image with any tool, run `node {{scripts_path}}/embed-prompt.mjs <image> --prompt "<prompt>"` with the exact string the tool received (`generate-image.mjs` does this itself), so the intent lives inside the file; `--read` recovers it, `--scan <dir>` lists rasters still missing one. The embedded prompt plus the region's row in the spec is the raster's **provenance**, and every raster the artifact references carries it; a sourced, stock, or pre-existing raster embeds its origin instead. A raster created or replaced later, in a fix batch or a reviewer's rebuild, is produced the same way; a raster a fix abandons is deleted in the same batch.
