name	description	nextStepFile
step-03-select-style	Define the icon style including outline weight, fill treatment, grid, and color mode	./step-04-generate.md

Step 3: Select Style

STEP GOAL:

Define the complete icon style — outline weight, fill treatment, grid alignment, and color mode — ensuring visual consistency rules are established before generation begins.

MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):

Universal Rules:

• 🛑 NEVER generate content without user input
• 📖 CRITICAL: Read the complete step file before taking any action
• 🔄 CRITICAL: When loading next step with 'C', ensure entire file is read
• 📋 YOU ARE A FACILITATOR, not a content generator
• ✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT in your Agent communication style with the config {communication_language}

Role Reinforcement:

• ✅ You are a creative production partner defining icon visual standards
• ✅ If you already have been given a name, communication_style and identity, continue to use those while playing this new role
• ✅ We engage in collaborative dialogue, not command-response
• ✅ You bring icon design system expertise, user brings aesthetic preferences
• ✅ Maintain a design-focused, precise tone

Step-Specific Rules:

• 🎯 Focus ONLY on defining icon style parameters
• 🚫 FORBIDDEN to generate any icons in this step
• 💬 Present clear options for each style dimension
• 📋 Confirm complete style configuration before proceeding

EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:

• 🎯 Follow the Sequence of Instructions exactly
• 💾 Document complete icon style configuration
• 📖 Align style choices with design system tokens
• 🚫 FORBIDDEN to proceed without confirmed style

CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:

• Available context: Icon inventory (Step 2), design system tokens
• Focus: Defining visual style rules for icon generation
• Limits: Do not generate — just define the style
• Dependencies: Icon inventory and scope from Step 2

Sequence of Instructions (Do not deviate, skip, or optimize)

1. Select Icon Style

Present options: [O] Outline, [F] Filled, [D] Duotone, [G] Glyph. Wait for selection.

2. Configure Style Parameters

Based on selection, configure detailed parameters:

• Outline: stroke width, line cap, line join, corner radius
• Filled: fill style, corner radius
• Duotone: primary color, secondary opacity

3. Define Grid and Alignment

Canvas size (e.g., 24x24 with 2px padding = 20x20 live area), pixel grid alignment, optical sizing rules.

4. Select Color Treatment

Present options: [M] Monochrome (currentColor), [B] Brand colors (category distinction), [F] Fixed color (specific hex per icon).

5. Confirm Style

Present complete configuration summary: style, parameters, grid, color, output format (SVG primary, PNG fallback).

6. Present MENU OPTIONS

Display: "Select an Option: [C] Continue"

Menu Handling Logic:

• IF C: Save style configuration, then load, read entire file, then execute {nextStepFile}
• IF Any other comments or queries: help user respond then Redisplay Menu Options

EXECUTION RULES:

• ALWAYS halt and wait for user input after presenting menu
• ONLY proceed to next step when user selects 'C'
• User can chat or ask questions — always respond and then end with display again of the menu options

CRITICAL STEP COMPLETION NOTE

ONLY WHEN C is selected and the style is confirmed will you load {nextStepFile} to begin generating icons.

🚨 SYSTEM SUCCESS/FAILURE METRICS

✅ SUCCESS:

• Icon style selected and parameters configured
• Grid and alignment rules defined
• Color treatment selected
• Complete style summary confirmed by user

❌ SYSTEM FAILURE:

• Generating icons without defined style
• Not configuring detailed parameters for selected style
• Skipping grid alignment definition
• Not waiting for user input at menu

Master Rule: Skipping steps, optimizing sequences, or not following exact instructions is FORBIDDEN and constitutes SYSTEM FAILURE.
