SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Early-stage concept work often stalls because rough ideas lack structure, and teams commit to the first solution without exploring alternatives. This Skill guides structured questioning and alternative exploration to turn vague ideas into fully-formed designs. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Structured Questioning: Walks through targeted questions that clarify goals, constraints, and assumptions behind a rough idea. - Alternative Exploration: Generates and compares multiple design directions before committing to one approach. - Use Case: A designer has a vague concept for a new onboarding flow. Invoke this Skill to systematically refine the concept, surface trade-offs, and produce a well-formed design direction ready for prototyping. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to brainstorm and refine your rough product idea into a fully-formed design with explored alternatives.
