App: engineering Start: 2026-06-10T14-39 (PST) Type: planning-and-executing Claude-Session: 4b3c17a0-bb1f-4c5d-b7ee-a910c948be0a Status: PLACEHOLDER — claimed at session start; finalized at session end.

This file reserves session ID 0015 for engineering. The driver replaces this body with the full transcript and renames the file to its final SESSION-0015.0-TRANSCRIPT-2026-06-10T14-39--.md form at session end.

Launch prompt

/goal implement engineering#35 — land the Claude Design vs Claude Code rubric doc and wire the recorded decision into solution-design/GUIDE.md + TEMPLATE.md, referencing the new design-system/ as the code-resident design system

Plan

Anchor: #35 (type/story — ELIGIBLE per R2b, checked via check-issue-eligibility.sh) Worktree: .claude/worktrees/claude-design-rubric-35, branch worktree-claude-design-rubric-35 (mandated — live concurrent SESSION-0009) Plan doc: docs/superpowers/plans/2026-06-10-claude-design-vs-code-rubric.md (in the worktree)

1. Land the rubric verbatim (extracted mechanically from issue #35's appendix) at solution-design/claude-design-vs-code.md, with a non-verbatim preamble carrying provenance + the Wiggleverse binding (Q4 reads against the code-resident design-system/).
2. GUIDE.md: §5 restructured — new §5.1 Design tooling decision (three output forms, pointer-only to the rubric) + §5.2 per-screen description; new authoring-conventions bullet.
3. TEMPLATE.md: §5.1 decision slot (Decision + Rationale fields, N/A default); example screen renumbers §5.1→§5.2 (verified uncited elsewhere).
4. Pointers: README.md §3.3 (Product row + closing paragraph) and agent-context.md digest — pointer + load-bearing rule only, no restatement.
5. Push branch → PR (Closes #35) → merge (autonomous posture). §6 numbering untouched (§6.8/§7.2 citations preserved).

Execution log (checkpoint, post-merge)

• Anchor gate: ELIGIBLE: #35 is type/story (R2b). Concurrent live SESSION-0009 surfaced at claim → session isolated in worktree .claude/worktrees/claude-design-rubric-35 per §5.4.
• Rubric extracted mechanically from issue #35's appendix (6661 chars) and landed byte-verbatim (asserted) at solution-design/claude-design-vs-code.md with a provenance preamble binding Q4 to the code-resident design-system/.
• GUIDE.md §5 → §5.1 Design tooling decision + §5.2 per-screen; authoring-conventions bullet added. TEMPLATE.md §5.1 Decision/Rationale slot; example screen → §5.2. Pointers added in handbook §3.3 (README.md) and tier-1 digest (agent-context.md) — pointer + rule only, no restatement.
• Shipped: branch worktree-claude-design-rubric-35 → PR #39 (wiggleverse/engineering#39) → merged to main (0292c8e); issue #35 auto-closed. Docs-only change — no UI surface, no app deploy; the §9 pipeline has no stage to run for this repo's markdown.
• Plan doc (for finalize's archive step): docs/superpowers/plans/2026-06-10-claude-design-vs-code-rubric.md (untracked in the worktree, as plans aren't committed to this repo).

Deferred decisions

Autonomous-mode low-confidence calls the driver made and would have liked operator input on. Appended as the session runs; surfaced at finalize. Empty if none.

• Decision-slot placement: §5.1 (product lens) instead of the issue's non-binding "subsection inside the engineering lens" note. Rationale: the decision gates how §5 gets authored (canvas exploration vs text), so it must precede layout authoring; appending §6.11 would read as an afterthought after migration/compat, and inserting earlier in §6 would renumber §6.8/§7.2, which the handbook, digest, and skills cite. Low risk: nothing cites a solution-design §5 subsection today.
• "Brainstorming flow points at the doc" acceptance bullet satisfied doc-side only. The wgl-brainstorming skill lives in the plugin source repo, out of this session's repo scope; it authors specs from GUIDE/TEMPLATE, which now carry the gate. If an explicit skill-side pointer is wanted, that's a small plugin-repo change for a future session.
