bastien 57309b80f8 feat(agents): add design gate for automatic ui-ux-pro-max detection

Lightweight skills (feat, hotfix, bugfix) had zero plugin awareness —
design tasks ran without ui-ux-pro-max even when relevant. Add a
design gate (lib/design-gate.md) that auto-detects UI/style signals
in task description and filesystem, then asks the user to activate
ui-ux-pro-max if inactive. Orchestrators already handle this via
their STEP 0 plugin-check.

DESIGN GATE — Auto-detect design tasks, activate ui-ux-pro-max

Inline snippet. Include in any agent STEP 0 that may touch UI/design.

WHEN TO RUN

Run this gate when the task description OR target files match design signals.

DETECTION

Check BOTH the task description AND the filesystem:

Task description signals (case-insensitive match on $ARGUMENTS):

UI keywords: component, button, card, modal, dialog, tooltip, dropdown, sidebar, navbar, header, footer, layout, grid, form, input, table
Style keywords: css, style, theme, color, font, spacing, margin, padding, border, shadow, animation, transition, hover, responsive, dark mode, light mode
Design keywords: design, ui, ux, visual, polish, pixel, figma, mockup, wireframe, prototype
Framework UI: tailwind, styled-component, emotion, chakra, radix, shadcn, headless

Filesystem signals (quick check, no deep scan):

Target files have .tsx, .jsx, .css, .scss, .less, or .module.css extension
tailwind.config or postcss.config present in project root
tokens/, theme/, or design-system/ directory exists
Storybook config (.storybook/) present

DECISION

If at least one signal is detected:

Check if ui-ux-pro-max is active:

source "$HOME/.claude/lib/detect-plugins.sh"
detect_uiux_pro_max && echo "ACTIVE" || echo "INACTIVE"

If ACTIVE → proceed silently. The plugin context is already available.
If INACTIVE → ask the user:
```
🎨 DESIGN DETECTED — task touches UI/styling.
ui-ux-pro-max is not active. Activate it for design-aware guidance?
(yes / no)
```
- On yes → print ⚡ Activating ui-ux-pro-max... and proceed with design context.
- On no → print Proceeding without design plugin. and continue normally.

IMPORTANT

This gate adds ~5 seconds overhead. Worth it for design quality.
Do NOT run this gate on pure backend/API/CLI tasks (no signals = no gate).
If no signal detected → skip entirely, zero overhead.
