SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill enables teams to evaluate a design artifact against Dieter Rams' ten principles, producing a structured, evidence-backed assessment and a concrete handoff plan.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Comprehensive principle audit: score each Rams principle 0–3 with anchored evidence.
  • Verdict-driven handoff: generate a 3–5 move plan and a /make-plan prompt for NEW, REFINE, or REDESIGN outcomes.
  • Artifact generation: create DESIGN-IS phase artifacts like 00-scope.md, 01-evidence.md, 02-scorecard.md, 03-verdict.md, and 04-handoff-prompt.md to guide implementation.

Quick Start

Supply a design artifact to audit and run the Rams-based evaluation, then output the DESIGN-IS artifacts per the workflow.

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit a design against Dieter Rams' ten principles?▼

To audit a design against Dieter Rams' ten principles, supply your design artifact to the evaluation workflow. The system scores each principle 0–3 using anchored evidence and generates structured phase artifacts including a scorecard, verdict, and handoff prompt.

What is included in a Dieter Rams design audit scorecard?▼

A Dieter Rams design audit scorecard includes evidence-backed scores from 0–3 for each of the ten principles, source citations, and a structured evidence set. It also delivers a final verdict and a handoff prompt for implementation.

How do I generate an actionable design handoff plan from a design review?▼

Generating an actionable design handoff plan requires a verdict-driven process that outputs a 3–5 move plan based on NEW, REFINE, or REDESIGN outcomes. The system produces a /make-plan handoff prompt matching the final verdict.

Can I use this design audit for any design artifact type?▼

You can apply this design audit to any design artifact provided for evaluation. The system assesses the artifact across all Rams principles, ensuring the handoff template matches the final verdict regardless of the input format.

What design artifacts are generated during an evidence-based design audit?▼

An evidence-based design audit generates five phase artifacts: 00-scope.md, 01-evidence.md, 02-scorecard.md, 03-verdict.md, and 04-handoff-prompt.md. These documents guide implementation from initial scope through final handoff.
