## Why it exists
Cheap models make, strong models judge. Every visual job runs the way a studio runs: roughs, a pick, polish, proof, sign-off. The desks call models through the CLI you are already signed in to (`claude`, `codex` or `agy`) or a key (`ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`, `OPENAI_API_KEY`, `GEMINI_API_KEY`). `npx --package deskstudio desk-run doctor` shows which path it will take without making a model call. Scores come from the studio's model reviewers, they are not independent benchmarks.

# Desk Studio
## Position
-For developers and founders who ship without a designer, 42 desks working inside your agent while you run the dashboard. Warm, plain, steady.
+For developers and founders who ship without a designer. A small studio of 42 desks works inside your coding agent, and you watch it work on the dashboard. Warm, plain, a bit playful.
## Voice
-Plain, confident, short. Claims, not descriptions. Numbers are figures and stay exact.
+Plain, confident, short. Numbers are figures and stay exact. Fun comes from the bots and the motion, never from the words: no hype, no exclamation marks.
Example: "Your own design studio."
-## The accent's two jobs
+## The bots
-Amber is a desk at work and the pick: a lit lamp, and the ring drawn round the picked desk or rough. Nothing else is amber. Amber is never a text colour, never a button fill, never a background for text. A lamp at rest is muted, and the slab is always foreground.
+Every desk is a small toy bot at its own desk: a cream body, one lens eye, a laptop, and the trim colour of its tier. The bot is the brand. The logo is its head.
+
+| Tier | Trim | Wears | Count |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Manager | amber #ffaa1c | a headset | 1 |
+| Director | pink #cc79a7 | a bow tie | 3 |
+| Senior | sky #56b4e9 | a lanyard and badge | 17 |
+| Builder | green #009e73 | a cap | 21 |
+
+- On the dashboard, a bot is awake only while an agent of its desk is really working: lens open, typing, its laptop mark lit in the trim. Otherwise it sleeps, lens shut, breathing slowly. Never wake a bot on the dashboard to fill a frame. Illustrations (the banner, the site's crew) can show the crew at work.
+- Blue #0072b2 is for links and information, orange #d55e00 for anything that needs you: under the bar, a failed proof, a job waiting on you.
+- Amber is the Manager's trim, the job's place on the track and the pick ring.
+
+## The mark
+
+- The head of a studio bot: a rounded cream head, two ear bolts, one lens with an amber iris, a dark pupil and a white glint. It sits on a dark tile with a little dusk light in the top left corner (`logo/logo.svg`).
+- On light pages use the outlined head (`logo/logo-light.svg`, `logo/mark-on-light.svg`). In one colour use `mark-mono.svg`.
+- Smallest size: 16px for the tile. Clear space: a quarter of the mark's height on every side.
+- Don't add a body, arms or a second eye to the mark, don't recolour the iris, don't put the cream head straight on white without the outline.

+
+The six trims are the same in both sets. As text they get a lighter shade on dark and a darker one on light, listed in the contrast tables.
+
+## Type
+
+Inter, the same face as the site film. 800 for the wordmark and big figures, 700 for headings, 650 for labels and names, 400 for body. Geist Mono for commands, ids and paths only. Figures are tabular. Scale and sizes are in `type.md`.
-Background, foreground and accent keep the strategist's hexes in both sets. Nothing else is changed from the strategy. `line` and `line-light` are decorative separators and carry no content, so they have no ratio to meet.
+## Shape and depth
-## Spacing, radius, elevation
+- Radius 10 for controls and cards, 14 for rooms, 18 for panels, 999 for pills and buttons.
+- Buttons are pills with a 2px bottom edge, like a plastic key, and press down by 1px.
+- Rooms on the floor have a wall band and plank lines. Panels can carry a soft warm glow at the top of the page, nothing else glows.
+- Spacing on a 4px grid.
-- Unit 8px. Scale in units: 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16 (4, 8, 16, 24, 32, 48, 64, 96, 128px). Nothing off the scale.
-- Radius 0 on the mark, slabs, bars and the dashboard's desks. Radius 4 is the default for panels, inputs and buttons. Radius 8 for cards and the hero's rough frames. Nothing round.
-- No shadows. Menus and dialogs may take one 1px `line` border instead.
-- Breakpoints 390, 768, 1024, 1440.
+## Motion
+
+Bots wake with a small hop, bob while they work and blink now and then. The job ticket slides along the track. Bubbles pop in. Scorecard bars fill from the left. The pick ring draws once. Confetti falls once, when a job you are watching signs off at the bar. All of it stops under reduced motion. Details in `motion.md`.
## Do
-- Set every lit lamp in amber and every other element in foreground, muted or surface.
-- Keep the mark's disc 8 units across, over the right third of a square-ended slab.
-- Put figures in Inter with tabular numerals wherever they sit in a row.
-- Use foreground on background for headlines and body, muted for labels and secondary lines.
-- Draw the pass line at 8 on every scorecard, even when every axis passes.
-- Show the 42-desk grid as 7 columns by 6 rows, and only where it is the dashboard.
-- Draw the pick ring as one open amber stroke round the picked desk or rough: a slightly irregular oval 1.5 times the picked box, centred on it, round caps and joins, no fill, drawn clockwise from the top arc a third in from the left, the end running past the start (8px on rings under 120px wide, 12px from 120px), its last quarter drifting outward so it passes the start with one stroke width of clear space between the two strokes. Stroke 3px under 120px wide, 4px from 120px. One ring per screen.
+- Show the floor as rooms by tier, every desk a bot, and only the working ones awake.
+- Draw the pass line at 8 on every scorecard and the bar at 8.5 on the score chart.
- Write a desk by its job title: Art Director, Typographer.
-- Respect reduced motion: show the end state, no fill, draw or stagger.
+- Keep figures exact. 0.48 stays 0.48.
## Don't
-- Don't set text in amber, on light or on dark.
-- Don't put text on an amber fill.
-- Don't use a second accent, a gradient, a glow, a shadow or a blur.
-- Don't move the disc to the centre, enlarge it, curve the slab or give the unit a face.
-- Don't tile the 42-desk grid behind text.
-- Don't letterspace the wordmark past 0 or set it uppercase.
-- Don't round, dress up or compare a figure. 0.48 stays 0.48.
+- Don't fake activity: no bot awake, no score and no cost the record does not have.
+- Don't use the old lamp, slab or disc anywhere. They are retired.
+- Don't set long text in a trim colour, or small text in amber on light.
- Don't use exclamation marks, "Introducing", or any of the house style's banned words.
-- Don't close, fill, double or straighten the ring, set it in foreground, or draw it round a line of text.

-## The mark
-
-- The mark is a desk with its lamp: a flat slab and an 8-unit disc over the right third. Never move the disc, resize it, curve the slab or add a face.
-- Smallest size: mark alone 16px high. Horizontal lockup 120px wide. Stacked lockup 72px wide. Wordmark alone 96px wide.
-- Clear space is 0.5 mark heights on all four sides, in every lockup.
-- The slab is always foreground. The disc is muted at rest and amber when lit.
-- One colour per placement, no gradient, no outline version, no effects.
+The brand comes from the dashboard: every desk is a toy bot at its own desk, and the logo is that bot's head. It shares the six trim colours and Inter with the site film.
-## Backgrounds
+## Files
-- Dark set (`background` #12110f) for the dashboard, the sting and dark cards.
-- Light set (`background-light` #ffffff) for the hero page, the sheet and white cards.

-- Text pairs are in `DESIGN.md`. Use only those.

-Amber is a desk at work and the pick: a lit lamp, and the ring drawn round the picked desk or rough. Nothing else is amber. Never text, never a button, never a fill behind text. On light, amber is 3.5:1 and is for lamps and the ring only.

+- Smallest size 16px. Clear space a quarter of the mark's height.
-## The dashboard
+## Colour
-The 42-desk grid is 7 columns by 6 rows. It appears only as the dashboard, never as wallpaper behind text.
+Dark is the default: dusk brown #15100b with cream text. Light is the studio by day, #fbf3e6. The trims: amber #ffaa1c (the Manager, the pick, where the job is), pink #cc79a7 (directors), sky #56b4e9 (seniors), green #009e73 (builders and passes), blue #0072b2 (links and information), orange #d55e00 (anything that needs you).
-## Voice
+## Type
-Plain, confident, short. Numbers are figures. Costs are rounded to the cent and scores to one decimal, the same way everywhere.
+Inter 800 for the wordmark and big figures, 700 headings, 650 labels, 400 body. Geist Mono for commands and paths.

+- Was: a desk slab with a lamp disc as the mark, a "DS" monogram as the app icon, one amber accent, no characters, no gradients, no robots and no mascot. Now: every desk is a toy bot at its own desk, the mark is that bot's head with one lens eye, and the six trims of the site film carry the tiers (amber Manager, pink directors, sky seniors, green builders, blue for information, orange for what needs you). A soft dusk light is allowed.
+- Was: Inter 600 for the wordmark. Now: Inter 800, still the same face as the film.
+- The lamp, the slab and the disc are retired everywhere. The old kit's pages (`card.html`, `hero.html`, `marks.html`, `sting.html` and the old `sheet.html`) are in git history; `sheet.html` now shows the new kit.
+- The visual starting points and the "Not this" list below are kept as they were written for the first brand job, on 2026-10-18.

## What it is
A design studio inside the coding agent people already use. Forty-two desks, each a real role with a brief, staffed per job by a Design Manager. Work goes through roughs, a pick, polish, proof on real pixels, and a sign-off against an eight-axis rubric. Cheap models make, strong models judge, and the user runs it all from a local dashboard: pause, swap a role, write a desk a note, pick the rough yourself.
