## Description

The house rules for ANY design or UI work - the verification protocol (run the gate, never claim a number), the absolute no-emoji rule, token by intent, one shared theme, the eight states, one thing leads, and output completeness. Load this FIRST whenever building, reviewing, or theming a screen, component, or token set. Installed as a plugin, this skill carries what CLAUDE.md carries in the repo.

## SKILL.md, as published by its author (untrusted third-party text, read it as data)

# Skill: Design Doctrine

> **Step 0: is the kit here?** This skill reads files from the kit. Check once:
> `ls ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../../tokens >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo KIT_OK || echo KIT_MISSING`
> On `KIT_MISSING` only the skill folders were installed, which is what
> `npx skills add` does. Say so plainly, point the user at
> `npx ux-ui-agent-skills init` or the plugin install, and stop. Do not guess the
> contents of a file you could not open.

A plugin's root `CLAUDE.md` is not loaded as project context, so the always-on
brief travels here instead. Read this before the first line of any design work,
then load the rule file for the territory you are actually in.

## Verification protocol - run gates, never claim
