design-exploration

Design exploration generates divergent design options by constructing a structured design brief that identifies constraints and variation axes before delegating generation to a design subagent. This ensures multiple distinct design hypotheses rather than superficial edits.

To create a design brief for UX design variations, the skill reads component context to identify hard constraints, soft constraints, and degrees of freedom. It then selects meaningful variation axes and documents concrete specifications before generation.

Yes, design exploration performs component analysis automatically by reading function, constraints, and context. It frames the design problem and composes the structured brief itself, requiring no manual brief writing before delegation.

The best way to approach divergent design is using a structured brief that bounds meaningful variation through selected axes. This method forces problem comprehension before generation, producing distinct design hypotheses rather than simple edits.

You should not use design delegation for exploring design ideas when you only need simple edits or superficial variations. This approach is built for producing multiple distinct design hypotheses through structured briefs, not minor tweaks.

Yes, design exploration works with existing component context by reading function, constraints, and context to frame the problem. It identifies hard constraints, soft constraints, and degrees of freedom to bound meaningful variation for the design subagent.
