Design engineering craft and execution excellence. Applies when building, reviewing, refactoring, or improving any UI component, page, or interaction. Triggers on: building components, styling UI, adding animations/transitions, reviewing design quality, refactoring frontend code, implementing hover/active/focus states, working with shadows/colors/gradients/spacing/typography/border-radius, drag interactions, layout animations, icon transitions, or when the user asks to "think like a design engineer." Covers the full craft spectrum: motion, color, shadows, optical alignment, typography, spacing, gradients, performance, gestures, and micro-interactions.
