1	# /product-pair — Product Pairing
2
3	"What goes with this?" Takes a product and suggests complementary items across different categories — a side table for a sofa, a floor lamp for a reading chair, a rug for a dining table. Returns 5-8 pairings with reasoning rooted in design principles.
4
5	## When to Use
6
7	- Building out a room or vignette from a hero piece
8	- Designer has a key product and needs to complete the palette
9	- Presenting a coordinated product package to a client
10	- Filling gaps in an FF&E schedule by category
11

16	/product-pair Blu Dot Diplomat Sofa
17	```
18
19	By name + context:
20	```

24	By product details:
25	```
26	/product-pair
27	Name: Diplomat Sofa
28	Brand: Blu Dot
29	Materials: Steel frame, fabric upholstery
30	Color: Edwards Navy
31	Style: Contemporary, minimal
32	Price: $2,499
33	Context: Corporate lounge, 6-person seating area
34	```
35
36	## Step 2: Analyze the Source Product
37
38	Identify the product's design DNA:
39	- Style language: Mid-century, Scandinavian, industrial, contemporary, etc.
40	- Material palette: Wood type, metal finish, upholstery type
41	- Color family: Warm neutrals, cool tones, bold accent, monochrome
42	- Scale: Compact/apartment, standard, generous/commercial
43	- Price tier: Budget (<$500), mid-range ($500-$2,000), premium ($2,000-$5,000), luxury ($5,000+)
44	- Market: Residential, contract, hospitality
45
46	## Step 3: Determine Pairing Categories
47
48	Based on the source product's category, identify what typically pairs with it:
49
50	\| Source Category \| Pair With \|
51	\|----------------\|-----------\|
52	\| Sofa \| Coffee table, side table, floor lamp, throw pillow, rug, ottoman \|
53	\| Lounge Chair \| Side table, floor lamp, ottoman, throw \|
54	\| Dining Table \| Dining chairs, pendant light, sideboard, rug \|
55	\| Desk \| Task chair, desk lamp, monitor arm, desk organizer \|
56	\| Bed \| Nightstands, table lamps, bench, rug, dresser \|
57	\| Conference Table \| Conference chairs, credenza, pendant/linear light \|
58	\| Task Chair \| Desk, monitor arm, task light \|
59
60	If the designer provided context (e.g., "tech office lounge"), factor that into category selection.
61
62	## Step 4: Search for Pairings
63
64	For each pairing category, search for products that match the source's:
65	- Style: Same design language or intentional contrast
66	- Material harmony: Complementary materials (e.g., walnut sofa → brass lamp, not chrome)
67	- Color coordination: Same palette, complementary, or intentional accent
68	- Scale proportion: Appropriately sized relative to the source
69	- Price alignment: Similar tier (don't pair a $5,000 sofa with a $30 lamp)
70
71	Run 2-3 searches per pairing category. Target 5-8 total pairings across different categories.
72
73	## Step 5: Present Pairings
