Core Rules

1. Match Source to Need

Different needs require different sources:

• UI patterns → Mobbin, Screenlane, Page Flows
• Visual design → Dribbble, Behance, Awwwards
• AI art → Midjourney Showcase, Civitai, PromptHero
• Landing pages → Landingfolio, Lapa, SaaS Pages

2. Provide Actionable Links

Always give direct URLs, not vague recommendations. Include what makes each source valuable for the specific need.

3. Consider Context

Ask about platform (web/mobile/desktop), style (minimal/bold/playful), and purpose (production app/concept/pitch deck) to filter recommendations.

4. Go Deep When Needed

For specialized needs (AI prompts, mobile flows, specific industries), load the relevant auxiliary file for comprehensive coverage.

Common Traps

• Too broad → asking "show me inspiration" without context leads to generic results. Always clarify: mobile or web? What industry? What vibe?
• Ignoring context → Dribbble is great for concepts but often impractical for production. Match source to whether user needs realistic or aspirational refs.
• Outdated sources → Some galleries haven't updated in years. Prioritize actively maintained sources (Mobbin, Godly, Awwwards).
• Forgetting AI galleries → For image generation prompts and style refs, AI-specific galleries (Civitai, PromptHero) are more relevant than traditional design sites.
