SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Teams often jump straight into code without a shared understanding of the user experience, leading to rework and misaligned interfaces. This Skill structures UX and UI planning before implementation by running a required discovery interview and producing a confirmed design brief. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Discovery Interview: Runs a mandatory multi-round interview to capture user needs, goals, and constraints before any design decisions. - Visual Probes: Uses visual probes when available to explore layout and interaction directions with the user. - Design Brief Output: Produces a user-confirmed design brief that serves as the authoritative input for implementation. - Use Case: Before building a new dashboard feature, invoke the Skill to interview stakeholders, test visual directions, and hand developers a confirmed brief instead of ambiguous requirements. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to shape the new onboarding flow so it runs the discovery interview and returns a confirmed design brief before coding begins.

FAQPage Schema
How do I plan UX and UI before writing code?▼

Invoke the shape Skill with the feature you want to build. It runs a required multi-round discovery interview to capture needs and constraints, then produces a user-confirmed design brief that guides implementation.

What is a design brief in a product development workflow?▼

A design brief is a confirmed document capturing user needs, UX direction, and UI decisions before coding starts. This Skill generates one only after completing its discovery interview and, when available, visual probes.

Can I skip the discovery interview and go straight to design?▼

No. The discovery interview is a required part of the workflow. The Skill is designed to prevent premature design decisions by ensuring user needs are gathered and confirmed across multiple rounds first.

What are visual probes in UX discovery?▼

Visual probes are design artifacts used during discovery to explore layout and interaction directions with users. This Skill uses them when available to ground interview findings in concrete visual options.

When should I not use a discovery interview workflow?▼

Avoid it for trivial changes, bug fixes, or well-specified tasks where requirements are already confirmed. The interview process adds deliberate upfront time that only pays off for features with genuine UX uncertainty.
