What problem does it solve? Teams often jump straight from a product requirement to the first design idea, which gets silently locked in and re-litigated later. This Skill structures the exploration step so multiple genuinely distinct directions are considered and one is chosen with its reasoning recorded. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Divergent exploration: Produces two to four directions, each explicitly optimising for something different (speed of the common case, first-timer legibility, power-user density). - Recorded convergence: Captures which direction was chosen, why, and what each rejected direction would have been better at, so decisions are not re-opened later. - Grounded inputs: Starts from the ready story, its scenarios, and the job's outcome, and can pull cited references from the design vault via design-reference. - Use Case: A ready story for a new onboarding surface needs ideas. Run design exploration to get three distinct directions, pick one with documented trade-offs, and hand it to design-flows for scenario walkthroughs. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to explore design directions for a ready story, for example: explore some directions for the onboarding story before any hi-fi work starts.
