What problem does it solve? Design work often ships without a visible reason behind it — products pass usability checks yet feel hollow, manipulative patterns slip into interfaces, and teams make decisions from unstated assumptions. Intent makes the reasoning behind every UX decision explicit, testable, and traceable from strategy through implementation. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Three operating modes: context mode builds a project context document (users, constraints, ethical stance, success criteria), practice mode routes work to 15 specialized design skills, and extract mode produces a UX pattern inventory from an existing product. - Anti-pattern catalog: A severity-rated catalog of dark patterns across 10 categories (deceptive patterns, prechecked consent, fabricated urgency, addictive design, AI-specific manipulation, and more) with regulatory context for GDPR, FTC, COPPA, CPRA, and the EU DSA. - Reference knowledge base: In-depth guides on WCAG 2.2 accessibility, content strategy and voice frameworks, ethical design remediation, and information architecture. - Use Case: Before redesigning a checkout flow, invoke Intent to establish user and business context, audit the current flow against the anti-pattern catalog for hidden costs or confirmshaming, then route to the appropriate specialized skill for the redesign work. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to start an Intent context session for your product, describing who your users are and what you are designing.
