Sketch

Two or three complete HTML variants with different stances. Then the user picks.

When to use

• "show me options", "what could this look like", "compare A vs B"

When not to use

• They already locked a look (just build it)
• They want production components

Procedure

1. If feel / reference / core action are missing, ask_user once.
2. Pick one axis (density, emphasis, or aesthetic) and pull two poles plus an optional third.
3. write_file each as sketches/<stance>/index.html, self-contained.
4. Name folders by stance (calm-editorial, not v1).
5. Ask which one to take to web-design or into the real app.

Pitfalls

• Three files that only change accent color waste the turn.
• Do not start a design system. These are disposable.

Verification

The user can open two files and tell them apart in two seconds.
