Direction Fingerprint
Compare macrostructure, hero, navigation, display class, palette, media treatment, section sequence, and motion before selecting a direction.
PatternsContextual
Intent
Prevent unrelated prompts from converging on one house style while keeping variety grounded in available project and evaluation evidence.
Checks
- Record the eight fingerprint traits for each serious candidate.
- Compare with existing project surfaces and recent evaluation artifacts when available.
- Reroute a candidate that repeats the same macrostructure plus two strong traits without brand or product evidence.
Warnings
- Do not create hidden cross-project memory, retain private details, or weaken an established design system merely to force novelty.
Exceptions
- A coherent multi-route product may intentionally repeat its established shell and type system.
