# Build brief: Filigree

Resource base: https://mejohnc.org (or the preview host used to obtain this file).

Use this direction within the user’s requested project and existing design constraints.

## Illustrative use case, not project requirements
A craft catalog with detailed object photographs and a fine ornamental heading frame.

A reference to delicate ornamental metalwork made from fine threads. In screen graphics, the useful feature is a coherent network of fine lines around a clear central subject.

## Essential cues
- Fine interlaced lines
- Delicate border
- Ornamental rhythm

## Recipe
- Use vector artwork for clean scaling.
- Keep detail away from small text.
- Reduce border complexity on narrow screens.

## Optional decoration
Intricate vector ornament needs attention at multiple display sizes.

## Avoid
Calling any flourish filigree or using hairline decoration as an essential control boundary.

## Values and validation
Read [tokens](/territories/filigree/tokens.json) and [acceptance checklist](/territories/filigree/checklist.md). Use [the working example](/territories/filigree/example/) to inspect color roles, spacing, hierarchy, and interaction states. It is a UI translation, not a reproduction of historical art. Tokens describe the base UI; [example CSS](/territories/assets/example.css) contains the style-specific composition and decorative layer. Preview navigation with `?navigation=top`, `?navigation=sidebar`, or `?navigation=tabs`; combine with `project`. Use [Compare](/territories/compare/) for mobile (390 px), tablet (820 px), and desktop (1440 px) viewports.

## Delivery
Preserve real content and existing working behavior. Check keyboard, narrow layout, error, empty, and success states. Report any departures from this recipe with a reason. Do not claim to have inspected a preview or run checks that you could not access.
