## Workflow

### Step 1: Gather Requirements (AskUserQuestion)

Collect via AskUserQuestion:
1. **Purpose** — social cover, ad banner, website hero, print, or creative asset?
2. **Platform/size** — which platform or custom dimensions?
3. **Content** — headline, subtext, CTA, logo placement?
4. **Brand** — existing brand guidelines? (check `docs/brand-guidelines.md`)
5. **Style preference** — any art direction? (show style options if unsure)
6. **Quantity** — how many options to generate? (default: 3)

### Step 2: Research & Art Direction

1. Activate `ui-ux-pro-max` skill for design intelligence
2. Use Chrome browser to research Pinterest for design references:
   ```
   Navigate to pinterest.com → search "[purpose] banner design [style]"
   Screenshot 3-5 reference pins for art direction inspiration
   ```
3. Select 2-3 complementary art direction styles from references:
   `references/banner-sizes-and-styles.md`

### Step 3: Design & Generate Options

For each art direction option:

1. **Create HTML/CSS banner** using `frontend-design` skill
   - Use exact platform dimensions from size reference
   - Apply safe zone rules (critical content in central 70-80%)
   - Max 2 typefaces, single CTA, 4.5:1 contrast ratio
   - Inject brand context via `inject-brand-context.cjs`

2. **Generate visual elements** with `ai-artist` + `ai-multimodal` skills

   **a) Search prompt inspiration** (6000+ examples in ai-artist):
   ```bash
