Field Guide Artifact Design Handoff

Use the PowerShift® brand system for all visual assets in this project.

Canonical Brand Source

Resolve from the local shared-context root used by the build:

reference/brand/powershift-ecosystem

On the MacBook Pro build host, this should resolve as:

/Users/thomasthomison/shared-context/reference/brand/powershift-ecosystem

The /Users/polaritydancer/... path is agent-local and should not be used by Fable or production builds.

Read order:

design-system/SKILL.md
design-system/SOURCES-OF-TRUTH.md
design-system/README.md
design-system/colors_and_type.css
design-system/assets/brand-marks.jsx
brand-assets/brand-system.json

Visual Language

Apply the PowerShift® Intelligence visual language: serious infrastructure with a human pulse.

Deep ink ground.
Soft paper type.
Teal for living intelligence and sensing.
Amber for agency, decision, and authority.
Blue for substrate, infrastructure, and frontier lines.
4-8% grain where useful.

Avoid generic AI/SaaS gradients, neon grids, bokeh blobs, heavy glassmorphism, humanoid robot imagery, generated text inside images, and model-brand worship.

Type

Use Space Grotesk for display and heading energy.
Use Manrope for body and reading surfaces.
Use JetBrains Mono for labels, receipts, code-like captions, and proof marks.
Retain Inter for dense interface UI only when appropriate.

Brand Rules

Use the canonical token layer for color.
Do not default to old generic PowerShift orange/blue assets unless explicitly requested.
Treat existing logo/assets as inventory unless a source file marks them canonical.
For the explainer video, make the authority layer the protagonist: humans and Minds act inside boundaries, with visible receipts.
