What problem does it solve? Product and UX design questions often get answered with a single narrative opinion rather than concrete, comparable design artefacts. This Skill refracts one design problem into multiple paradigm-paired structured artefacts (user flows, IA trees, journey maps, Kano grids) and forces every recommendation through a heuristic audit and a persona-driven critique before it is adopted. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Parallel paradigm exploration: Dispatches 2-4 subagents in parallel, each producing a schema-conformant structured artefact (flow, ia-tree, heuristic-matrix, journey-map, try-fail-cycle, or kano-grid) rather than prose summaries. - Mandatory quality gates: Runs a heuristic audit pass (Nielsen-10, WCAG-AA, or a custom checklist) with operational-graft recommendations, plus a persona-driven critique pass producing exactly three friction points. - Comparison-based synthesis: Produces a comparison table instead of merging artefacts, and writes a decision-focused design proposal to Proposal/FORGE-{problem-slug}.md. - Use Case: Given "our mobile checkout loses 38% of returning users between email and payment steps", the Skill explores JTBD, atomic-design, and Kano paradigms in parallel, audits the recommended flow against Nielsen's heuristics, stress-tests it with a named persona, and writes a full design proposal. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to run /engage-forge on your design problem, for example: redesign our mobile checkout onboarding flow using three parallel design paradigms with a Nielsen heuristic audit.
