What problem does it solve?

The DESIGNING phase provides a structured, iterative approach to product design by decomposing complex architectures and UI ideas into small, validated sections. It ensures trade-offs are surfaced and user feedback is captured before any implementation begins.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Propose 2-3 design approaches with clear trade-offs.
• Present each design section as a 200-300 word narrative and link it to visual diagrams.
• Validate each section with explicit user feedback before moving to the next.
• Create architecture and UI diagrams using Mermaid Collab to accompany design sections.
• Use Single-Item Mode to focus on a single design item and capture problem/goals, approach, success criteria, and decisions in a design doc.

Quick Start

Initiate the DESIGNING phase in a collab session, propose 2-3 design approaches with trade-offs, and present each design section as 200-300 words. For every section, obtain explicit user validation before proceeding, visualize the design with Mermaid Collab diagrams, and update the central design document accordingly.
