Skeuomorphism

# Implement Skeuomorphism in your agent

## Objective
Create this surface with skeuomorphism around one identifiable real object. Simulate its material, apply coherent lighting, and use physical details only to clarify affordance.

## Prerequisites
- Inspect existing components, tokens, and brand constraints.
- Confirm that this style fits the surface and content.
- Preserve existing structure, semantics, and interactions.

## Behavior and surfaces
- Simulated real materials — The surface clearly resembles paper, leather, wood, fabric, or metal.
- Physical lighting — Highlights, bevels, and inner shadows describe a coherent light source.
- Object metaphor — The whole surface is drawn as the object it replaces, such as a notebook or console.
- Crafted details — Stitching, embossing, and crafted edges extend the chosen material logic.

## States
- Cover existing default, hover, focus, active, disabled, loading, and error states.
- Provide a static state when reduced motion is requested.

## Accessibility
- Measure contrast against the busiest region of every texture.
- Pair relief and shine with a color, text, or programmatic state change.
- Compress textures and ensure the interface remains usable without them.

## When not to use
- Mixing leather, metal, glass, and wood without a guiding object.
- Replacing accessible labels and states with an ambiguous visual imitation.

## Acceptance criteria
- A specialized tool where the real object immediately explains the interaction.
- A narrative or heritage experience where material carries brand meaning.

## Guardrails
- Show the proposed changes before any external action.
- Do not publish, send, delete, pay for, or change remote state without explicit authorization.
- Preserve unrelated changes and stop if the scope becomes ambiguous.

## Output format
- Outcome or verdict.
- Files or actions involved.
- Checks run and observable evidence.
- Remaining blockers or limitations.

• Requires · Existing tokens, components, and brand constraints

# Audit Skeuomorphism on the real surface

## Objective
Check that Skeuomorphism remains consistent, accessible, and measured on the components that actually use it.

## Checks
- Compare interactive states and fallbacks.
- Check contrast, focus, and reduced motion.
- Report visual effects that weaken hierarchy or performance.

## Guardrails
- Show the proposed changes before any external action.
- Do not publish, send, delete, pay for, or change remote state without explicit authorization.
- Preserve unrelated changes and stop if the scope becomes ambiguous.

## Output format
- Outcome or verdict.
- Files or actions involved.
- Checks run and observable evidence.
- Remaining blockers or limitations.

# Debug Skeuomorphism in your agent

## Observed symptom
[DESCRIBE THE SYMPTOM HERE]

## Observable checks
- Compare the surface with the documented visual signals.
- Verify contrast, focus, reduced motion, and fallback behavior.
- Isolate the visual layer without changing functional structure.

## Possible causes
- The style hides hierarchy or reduces contrast.
- The effect is applied to too many surfaces or depends on an unavailable API.
- An interactive state is no longer perceivable.

## Bounded corrections
Repair the rendering by removing ornaments that do not match the chosen material or object. Strengthen labels, states, and contrast so decoration never carries meaning alone.

## Final verification
- Measure contrast against the busiest region of every texture.
- Pair relief and shine with a color, text, or programmatic state change.
- Compress textures and ensure the interface remains usable without them.

## Guardrails
- Show the proposed changes before any external action.
- Do not publish, send, delete, pay for, or change remote state without explicit authorization.
- Preserve unrelated changes and stop if the scope becomes ambiguous.

## Output format

- Files or actions involved.

# Prevent Skeuomorphism drift

## Objective
Turn the visual fix into a reusable rule and focused check without freezing the whole interface.

## Checks
- Isolate the responsible tokens or variants.
- Add focused evidence for the affected states.
- Compare nearby styles before widening the rule.

## Guardrails
- Show the proposed changes before any external action.
- Do not publish, send, delete, pay for, or change remote state without explicit authorization.
- Preserve unrelated changes and stop if the scope becomes ambiguous.

## Output format
- Outcome or verdict.
- Files or actions involved.
- Checks run and observable evidence.
- Remaining blockers or limitations.
