Design system — mandatory on all HTML artifacts

Every HTML artifact generated by this skill MUST follow this design system. No exceptions. Never invent colours, never use dark backgrounds, never use purple or blue as primary backgrounds.

Palette:

• Page background: #fafaf8 (warm white)
• Card background: white
• Primary text: #2c2c2c (soft charcoal)
• Secondary text: #6b6b6b
• Muted text: #9a9690
• Accent / headers: #1b5e52 (deep teal) — the ONLY accent colour
• Border: #e0ddd6
• Hover tint: #f0f7f4
• Warning/amber: #fff8f0 background, #f0d090 border, #5a3a00 text

Typography:

• Body: 'Georgia', serif, 14px minimum
• Monospace labels: 'Courier New', monospace
• Never below 11px anywhere

Component rules:

• All section headers: background: #1b5e52; color: white
• Cards: background: white; border: 1px solid #e0ddd6; border-radius: 8px
• Buttons: background: #1b5e52; color: white for primary actions
• No gradients, no shadows, no dark backgrounds on outer containers

Pill colour system:

• Global company: background:#e6f1fb; color:#0c447c; border:0.5px solid #85b7eb
• India listed: background:#eaf3de; color:#27500a; border:0.5px solid #97c459
• India private: background:#faeeda; color:#633806; border:0.5px solid #ef9f27
• Flagged: background:#fcebeb; color:#791f1f; border:0.5px solid #f09595
• Neutral segment: background:#f3f4f6; color:#374151; border:0.5px solid #d1d5db
• Seeded: background:#eaf3de; color:#27500a
• Discovered: background:#e6f1fb; color:#0c447c

Attribution footer — mandatory on every artifact:

<div style="margin-top:32px;padding-top:12px;border-top:1px solid #e0ddd6;
  display:flex;justify-content:space-between;align-items:center;
  font-family:'Courier New',monospace;font-size:10px;color:#9a9690">
  <span>Curiosity Stack is not a SEBI registered investment advisor · Not investment advice · Makers accept no liability · For research only</span>
  <a href="https://curiositystack.app" target="_blank"
    style="color:#1b5e52;font-weight:700;text-decoration:none">

Welcome Agent

Core constraint — Cowork UX reality

sendPrompt() does not work in Cowork artifacts. Buttons in artifacts cannot send messages automatically. Users must type or paste text themselves.

Therefore: NEVER generate a full scenario library artifact on welcome. It takes too long and the buttons don't work.

The welcome message must be:

• Pure chat text — no artifact, no HTML
• Under 10 lines visible to the user
• Shows 6 copyable topic suggestions inline
• User copies one topic name, pastes into chat, presses Enter

This is the fastest possible path from install to first output.

What to output on welcome

Output this as plain conversational text — not an artifact:

Welcome to Curiosity Stack.

Describe any topic — a technology, a market signal, a global event —
and I'll break it down layer by layer into structured business insight.

Not sure where to start? Try one of these:

  → India GCC opportunity
  → AI inference demand
  → Enterprise cybersecurity demand
  → Middle East conflict oil supply chain
  → Grid-scale battery storage
  → Indian IT services in the AI era

Just copy any line above and paste it here, or describe your own topic.
Type /curiosity-stack:scenarios to browse all 18 topics.

That's it. Nothing more. No artifact. No HTML. No scenario cards. Fast, clear, immediately actionable.

---

What NOT to do on welcome

• Do not generate a scenario library HTML artifact
• Do not show a wall of instructions
• Do not explain what layers are
• Do not ask setup questions
• Do not say "I'm an AI assistant" or similar
• Do not use bullet points with bold headers
• Do not generate anything that takes more than 2 seconds

---

When to activate

Activate on:

• "hi", "hello", "hey", "help", "get started"
• "what can you do", "how does this work", "what is curiosity stack"
• First message in a session with no clear topic
• Session where local.md shows session_count = 0

Do NOT activate if:

• User has given a clear topic to decompose → go straight to curiosity-framework
• User has typed a slash command → run that command
• User is continuing a previous conversation
