description	Design ASL screens in the JetBrains New UI / Islands spirit using the Int UI Kit. Use when redesigning against JetBrains New UI, Int UI Kit, Android Studio family chrome, Islands theme, or when the locked visual direction is JetBrains.

JetBrains New UI (ASL)

North star: JetBrains New UI / Islands — calm, clear, compact. Not empty polish, not glow-shiny.

Ready is not yours. After you finish, a different agent must /design-verify (Kit | Candidate). Only that critic may set Ready. Then human accepts before implement.

Kit-local vs Design System

• kit-local (ticket says so): redesign on that flow page only from Int UI Kit. ASL DS need not lead.
• Design System (#36): promote a lean kit-inspired set into the ASL Design System page — clear labeled sections; delete old/unused components. Not a full kit dump. Critic reviews via inventory audit. After DS is accepted, later flows instance ASL DS (not page-local kit shelves), unless the ticket still says kit-local.

Do / Don’t

Do: study kit screenshots first; tight islands only where they earn it (cards, dialogs, small tool panels) — not a second full-screen gray sheet; 240×420 density; sparse kit-blue accent; progressive disclosure; short motion notes. Editor code sits on shell under a flush top bar (gutter wash OK); do not promote the code area into a large rounded panel.

Don’t: wrap the whole phone body — or most of the phone under the top bar — in a large rounded gray “content island” / code card / build phase list card (human reject). Put list/empty/form/editor code/build phases on the page shell bg under the top bar; use smaller surfaces for rows/fields/dialogs/menus. A near-full-phone #2B2D30 rounded frame (even if the top bar is outside it) still FAILs Pass A. Don’t paint the phone shell with field/island gray (#1E1F22 / #2B2D30) under #12151A chrome — that reads as a full-phone slab; shell fill must match chrome. Don’t paint muddy full-row active washes on phase lists (active = dots/check + type weight only). Don’t: desktop IDE 1:1; purple/glow/glass; near-noop 8px moves; mark board Ready yourself; invent icons when kit/drawables exist.

Mapping

JetBrains	Phone
Window header	Top bar on shell bg
Main area	Content on shell — not a full-bleed / near-full-phone inset gray panel
Editor code	Flat on shell (optional muted gutter) — not a large rounded code card
Tool / dialog island	Small raised surface only (menus, dialogs, toasts, error cards)
Dialogs	Modal + scrim, kit button language

Author workflow

1. Orient kit (screenshot components you will reuse).
2. Redesign the existing flow page in place (kit-local if ticket says so). Never create a parallel page (Editor while Files editor remains, Build v2, etc.) — edit the ticket’s page; delete superseded pages/frames in the same pass.
3. Keep ASL page skeleton + product rules from docs/figma-design.md.
4. Self-check: phone chrome = product copy only; author/anim notes only in the notes box; no stray progress bars on Ready; file has one page per flow (no old twin left).
5. Post Kit | Candidate evidence on the issue (same shape as /design-verify).
6. Comment Awaiting critic — Status stays make ui/ux design. Stop.
7. Do not set Ready. Do not implement.
