design-grill

What problem does it solve?

Prevents UI work from starting without a shared, specific visual direction by running a guided, contradiction-aware interview that produces a reusable DESIGN-BRIEF.md north star for the project.

Core Features & Use Cases

• One-question-at-a-time design interview: Extracts product category, target persona, brand personality, emotional goals, visual references, color direction, typography, component style, animation level, and dark mode requirements.
• Reads existing context first: Checks for an existing DESIGN-BRIEF.md, partially implemented tokens, CSS/config artifacts, and prior skill screenshots to avoid re-asking decisions already made.
• Surfaces contradictions before committing: Detects incompatible answers (e.g., dense vs whitespace-heavy, minimal motion vs highly expressive landing) and resolves them prior to writing the brief.
• Generates a project-root artifact: Writes DESIGN-BRIEF.md including “Decisions Made,” “Ruled Out,” and “Open Questions” so downstream skills (UI/UX, tokens, animation, landing) can act consistently.

Quick Start

Run design-grill for a new project by asking it, one question at a time, to determine product category, audience, brand personality, and the full visual direction so it can generate a DESIGN-BRIEF.md you can use for the next skills.
