# design-engineering-catalogue

Domain navigator for visual design, UI craft, brand, color, typography, and mobile design.
Activate when the user asks for a skill that shapes how something looks and feels.

→ For the full catalogue across all domains: use `design-catalogue`.

## When to use

Activate when the user:
- Wants opinionated UI taste or aesthetic anchors
- Needs brand identity, color science, or typography
- Designs for iOS, Android, or cross-platform mobile
- Wants component systems or design system foundations
- Asks for interactive design exploration tools
