intent

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 build on unexamined 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 metrics), 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, default manipulation, urgency fabrication, addictive design, AI-specific patterns, and more) with regulatory context for GDPR, FTC, COPPA, CPRA, and the EU DSA. - Reference knowledge base: In-depth references on accessibility (WCAG 2.2, screen readers, keyboard navigation), content strategy (voice frameworks, tone matrices, microcopy), ethical design (remediation guides, consent patterns), and information architecture (navigation patterns, taxonomy, card sorting). - 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 prechecked consent, then route to the appropriate specialized skill for the redesign work. ## Quick Start Invoke the intent skill and describe what you are designing and for whom so it can establish project context and route your work.
