What problem does it solve?
Teams often apply the same complex design to both client-facing and internal app surfaces, leading to frustrated clients who can't navigate over-complex tools, or internal teams missing critical robust controls they need to work efficiently. This skill eliminates that misalignment by automatically classifying surfaces and applying the right design posture for each audience.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Audience-based surface classification: Automatically categorizes app surfaces as client-facing, internal, or shared using pre-defined audience personas from docs/audience.md.
- Tailored design posture application: Applies simplified, guided, trust-first design for client-facing surfaces, and full robust controls, power features, and admin affordances for internal surfaces.
- Mismatch flagging: Identifies and corrects design mismatches like over-complex client UIs or stripped-down internal tools missing necessary functionality.
- Use Case: When building a customer support portal and an internal admin dashboard for the same product, this skill ensures the client portal is intuitive and easy to use while the admin dashboard has all the advanced controls your team needs.
