What problem does it solve? AI-generated interfaces tend to look generic because default patterns override deliberate design decisions. This Skill enforces an intent-first workflow for building dashboards, admin panels, SaaS apps, and data tools so every layout, color, token, and typography choice is deliberate rather than templated. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Domain Exploration Framework: Requires producing domain concepts, a color world, a signature element, and named defaults before proposing any design direction. - Craft Foundations: Defines surface elevation systems, border progression, spacing scales, token architecture, typography hierarchy, and depth strategies for professional interfaces. - Critique and Persistence: Provides post-build critique checks (swap test, squint test, signature test, token test) and saves reusable patterns to .interface-design/system.md for consistency across sessions. - Use Case: When asked to build an analytics dashboard, the Skill first explores the product's domain, rejects generic sidebar-plus-cards defaults, proposes a direction tied to the product's world, then builds and self-critiques the result before presenting it. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to design a settings page for your app using the interface-design skill and have it state its domain exploration and intent before writing any code.
