# Design Engineering

## Detailed Guide

Read [the detailed guide](references/detailed-guide.md) before executing this skill. It retains the complete procedure and reference material. Treat its safety, prerequisites, and validation requirements as mandatory. For focused work, load the relevant sections; for end-to-end work, read the guide completely.

## When to Use

- Use when the user asks for UI polish, product design critique, animation direction, or high-craft component decisions.
- Use when reviewing frontend code for motion quality, easing, duration, physicality, interaction feedback, or subtle interface details.
- Use when building or refining React, Tailwind, CSS, or Framer Motion interfaces where taste and perceived quality matter.

## Limitations

- This skill provides design engineering judgment; it does not replace project-specific product requirements, accessibility testing, or real-device motion review.
- Verify framework versions, installed dependencies, and rendered behavior before treating animation or UI recommendations as production-ready.
- Do not apply these rules mechanically when an existing brand system, platform convention, or user requirement calls for a different interaction language.
