SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps designers and product teams evaluate and decide on navigation models by producing multiple, comparable navigation patterns and structural wireframes so the team can choose a scalable, discoverable, and platform-appropriate navigation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Navigation analysis: Counts primary and secondary destinations, identifies flow structure (flat, hierarchical, hub-and-spoke), and surfaces platform conventions and constraints.
  • Option generation: Produces 2–4 self-contained HTML navigation wireframes showing active states, collapsed/expanded variants, mobile adaptations, and a reachability table for each option.
  • Critique & handoff: Writes per-option rationale, a comparative critique, and updates project state to lock the chosen navigation model for downstream layout work.
  • Use Case: Run during a design critique to compare "Deep Sidebar" versus "Lean Tab Bar" approaches and converge on a locked navigation pattern with clear trade-offs.

Quick Start

Ask the skill to evaluate your project's navigation and produce 2–4 annotated HTML wireframes with rationale and a reachability table.

Frequently Asked Questions about crit-navigation

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate responsive HTML wireframes for UX navigation patterns?

You generate responsive HTML navigation wireframes by providing a confirmed brief and locked screen inventory to this Skill. It outputs 2-4 self-contained HTML files displaying active states, mobile adaptations, and reachability tables.

What is the best way to compare sidebar versus tab bar navigation during a design critique?

Comparing navigation models during a design critique requires generating multiple annotated wireframes with per-option rationale. This Skill outputs 2-4 distinct HTML wireframes and a comparative critique to help teams converge on a locked navigation pattern.

How do I document navigation decisions for downstream layout constraints?

Documenting navigation decisions for downstream constraints requires writing a comparative critique and updating the project state. This Skill locks the chosen navigation model so subsequent layout work respects the confirmed structural decisions.

Can I evaluate flat versus hierarchical navigation flows for cross-platform apps?

You can evaluate flat, hierarchical, and hub-and-spoke navigation flows for cross-platform apps. The Skill counts primary and secondary destinations, identifies flow structure, and surfaces platform conventions to shape scalable navigation options.

Do I need a locked screen inventory before generating navigation wireframes?

A confirmed brief and locked screen inventory are required before generating navigation wireframes. The Skill uses these prior inputs alongside existing feedback to shape comparable HTML options and ensure the navigation matches your application's structural requirements.
