Plan the UX and UI for a feature before writing code. Runs a structured discovery interview, then produces a design brief that guides implementation. Use during the planning phase to establish design direction, constraints, and strategy before any code is written.

Expert Socratic discovery skill for exploring ideas, architecture decisions, and technical design before writing any code. Use this skill — proactively and always first — when requirements are vague, when the user is debating between technical approaches, when the problem is unclear, or when a design decision could have significant architectural consequences. Triggers on: "should we use X or Y", "help me think through", "I'm not sure how to approach this", "what's the best architecture for", "trade-offs between", "design before I code", "let's think through this", "I have an idea", "how should I structure", "help me design", "I want to build X but not sure how", "what approach would you recommend", "is this the right way to". Produces a validated design doc with 2-3 implementation options, trade-offs, and a recommendation. Always use before planning when the approach is not yet locked.

Guides collaborative dialogue to turn ideas into approved designs and specs before any implementation begins.

Guides collaborative dialogue to turn ideas into approved designs and specs before any implementation begins.

Translate a vague request or GitHub issue into a concrete, testable spec using five structured elements (problem, scope, acceptance criteria, edge cases, success criterion) before writing any code. Prevents scope creep, PR churn, and mid-implementation pivots.
