A research-first design methodology that forces you to ground every visual and UI decision in real product patterns before you implement. It's built around three Refero research layers: styles for visual direction, screens for concrete UI patterns, and flows for multi-step journeys. The workflow is strict: you search references, retrieve full details, synthesize a direction from multiple examples without averaging them into generic mush, lock the dominant traits, then build. Works as a standalone methodology with bundled craft knowledge, but gets sharper when you connect the Refero MCP tools for live research. This is meant to replace generic AI design instincts with evidence from actual shipping products.
