design-exploration

To generate design variations, this Skill first reads the selected component to comprehend its function and visual structure, then produces a structured design brief to guide the generation of diverse design hypotheses.

When requesting design ideas, this Skill intercepts the request at the main agent level to ensure problem comprehension happens before generation, preventing the agent from skipping analysis and passing raw file paths without a design brief.

A design brief in UX design exploration is a structured document detailing component analysis, hard and soft constraints, degrees of freedom, and concrete variation specifications used to delegate design tasks to a subagent.

To define meaningful axes for design exploration, this Skill identifies hard and soft constraints alongside degrees of freedom within the component, establishing structured directions for generating design variations.

Passing raw file paths directly to a design subagent is not supported; this Skill ensures a formal design brief is composed and delegated to the subagent to drive problem-aware design exploration.

Before generating variations, design-exploration identifies hard and soft constraints and degrees of freedom within the component's function, content model, interaction, and visual structure to establish a problem-aware design direction.
