payoss Design Router — Intelligent Skill Dispatcher
Purpose
When building any website, app, or interface, this skill analyzes the project context and automatically selects the most relevant design skills from the collection.
How It Works
Before writing ANY design code:
- Identify the project type (landing page, dashboard, portfolio, SaaS, etc.)
- Identify the industry/domain (tech, luxury, health, finance, creative, etc.)
- Identify the aesthetic intent (minimal, bold, editorial, raw, premium, etc.)
- Route to the correct skill combination from the table below

Universal Rules (Always Apply)
Regardless of which skills are routed:
- ALWAYS load
taste-skillas baseline anti-slop protection (banned fonts, colors, patterns) - ALWAYS load
output-skillto prevent lazy/truncated output - Check
redesign-skillif upgrading an existing project - Check
mrgoonie-ui-ux-pro-maxfor accessibility and UX validation - Use
stitch-skillwhen generating DESIGN.md for external tools (Stitch, Figma prompts)
Execution Protocol
1. READ the user's request
2. IDENTIFY project type + industry + aesthetic
3. MATCH against routing matrix
4. LOAD the primary skill's full SKILL.md
5. SCAN secondary skills for relevant sections only
6. APPLY universal rules (taste-skill baseline + output-skill)
7. BUILD with the combined intelligence
