Spatial composition and layout for frontend design. Load with design when composing pages/dashboards/components, or whenever generated UI looks off — overlapping/colliding elements, weak hierarchy, or generic ("looks like every startup site"). The core idea: a model can't trust its own layout, so render it, critique it with fresh eyes, and deviate from your first instinct.

Mechanical implementation invariants for frontend design: token architecture, typography hierarchy, loading order, FOUT prevention, chrome stability, motion timing, color semantics. Use with design when building components, pages, or design systems. (Aesthetic direction lives in design-thinking; anti-trend/anti-slop in design-spatial.)

Entry point for frontend design. Use WHENEVER building or touching the look of any web UI — components, pages, dashboards, landing pages, React/Vue/HTML-CSS — and whenever the user says "make this look better/nicer", "fix the spacing/layout", or mentions styling, color, typography, fonts, responsive design, polish, or aesthetics, even without the word "design". Load design-thinking for direction; design-system for implementation; design-spatial for layout; design-philosophy for visual philosophy or art-direction.
