What problem does it solve?
This skill eliminates the friction of creating inconsistent, misaligned design briefs for new features, pages, and UI initiatives, ensuring all stakeholders share a clear, actionable vision before development begins.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Interactive Requirement Gathering: Conducts structured interviews to capture user jobs-to-be-done, constraints, aesthetic preferences, and success metrics for the target interface.
- Codebase-Aware Exploration: Automatically scans the existing project for design tokens, UI components, framework configurations, and established patterns to ensure the brief aligns with current systems.
- Standardized Template Output: Generates a consistent design brief covering problem definition, experience principles, aesthetic direction, component inventory, and accessibility requirements, saved to a dedicated .design directory for downstream workflow use.
- Use Case: A product manager planning a new user onboarding flow can use this skill to generate a comprehensive, codebase-aligned design brief in minutes, reducing misalignment between design and engineering teams.
Quick Start
Use the design-brief skill to create a design brief for the new user onboarding flow, including all required sections aligned with the project's existing design system.
