Reference Design Contract

# Turn a taste signal into a buildable direction.

This sample shows the shape of the contract: evidence first, then boundaries, then a handoff a second agent can execute without cloning the reference.

## Decision stance

The product should feel like a calm editorial desk: paper warmth, serious type rhythm, tactile panels, one copper accent, and no generic neon SaaS gloss.

## Contract slices

### Keep

Editorial hierarchy, warm off-white surface, restrained accent, quiet interaction states, and roomy note-taking density.

### Change

Replace any reference brand marks, subject matter, pricing, copy, and exact layout with the user's own product context.

### Do not copy

No literal screenshot recreation, no proprietary UI details, no borrowed claims, no prompt-template subject copied as the final subject.
