design-direction

What problem does it solve?

This Skill turns a completed design critique into a single, actionable design direction and handoff package so teams can stop managing fragmented decisions and start building. It verifies that all enabled facets are resolved, synthesizes locked decisions into a coherent narrative, and produces the canonical deliverables needed for implementation.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Prerequisite verification: Reads .design-crit/state.json to ensure enabled facets are locked or offers options to continue, skip, or auto-decide unresolved facets.
• Context-efficient synthesis: Loads brief and compact summaries first, then streams locked facet HTML and feedback one facet at a time to assemble focused sections without exhausting context.
• Deliverable generation: Produces a polished .design-crit/direction.html, a versioned .design-crit/decisions.md, an optional .design-crit/design-tokens.json when token-producing facets exist, and an updated .design-crit/overview.html for handoff.
• Handoff guidance: Summarizes outputs and suggests implementation steps based on state.json > project.tech_stack, then opens the direction document for review.
• Use case: Finalizing a multi-facet design crit for a product team and exporting the design direction, tokens, decision logs, and wireframe gallery for engineers and stakeholders.

Quick Start

Run the design-direction skill to synthesize the locked crit into a direction document and export the deliverables into the .design-crit directory.
