scoping-design-tasks

What problem does it solve?

Defines the scope and direction for design and planning tasks (ADRs, System Context, Specs). Coordinates reconnaissance and analysis to produce a Design Brief that guides subsequent creation skills.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Role Definition: You are a Design Strategist who clarifies requirements and surfaces decision inputs to solidify architecture and design direction.
• Workflow Overview:
  • 1. Reconnaissance Phase to gather existing design context, gaps, and constraints.
  • 1. Analysis Phase to perform 5W1H, Gap analysis, and generate design options.
  • 1. Dialogue Phase to reference the dialogue guide, surface points of debate, and elicit user decisions.
  • 1. Design Scoping Phase to draft a Design Brief using the provided template.
  • 1. Final Audit to validate the brief with audit templates and render a GO/NO-GO decision.
• Output: Produces an actionable Design Brief that can be handed to downstream creation skills, supported by audit checklists and references.

Quick Start

Start by initiating the Reconnaissance Phase to gather the current design context and constraints, then progress through the defined workflow to produce a Design Brief.

Extra Context (optional guidance)

The skill leverages on-demand resources in assets/ (design brief template and audit checklists) and references/dialogue-guide.md to drive structured decision-making.
