SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses decision fatigue and lack of clarity in generative design workflows by forcing a structured divergence phase before final convergence.

Core Features & Use Cases

Structured Divergence: Presents 3-5 distinct visual, structural, or tonal directions to the user.
Explicit Selection: Captures user preference via an inline question form to guide subsequent design iterations.
Use Case: When a user asks for logo concepts, this Skill ensures the agent provides a diverse set of defensible options rather than minor variations, allowing the user to select a clear path forward.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to provide three distinct design directions for the current project to initiate the picker.

FAQPage Schema

How do I trigger the direction picker?▼

The direction picker activates only when you explicitly ask to compare visual directions or see multiple options. It remains inactive during standard design tasks to prevent unnecessary decision fatigue.

How many directions can I request?▼

You can request between 3 and 5 distinct directions. The system limits this range to ensure high-quality, defensible options and to avoid overwhelming you with too many choices.

What happens after I select a direction?▼

Once you submit your choice via the direction-cards form, the agent locks onto that specific direction for all subsequent design iterations, ensuring consistency in the final output.

Can I change my mind after selecting a direction?▼

If you decide to change directions, you must backtrack to the picker stage. This forces a fresh iteration of the planning process to ensure the new direction is properly integrated.
