SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Design work often ships without a visible reason behind decisions, leading to manipulative patterns, inconsistent experiences, and products that pass usability checks but fail users. 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 covering users, constraints, and ethical stance; practice mode routes work to 15 specialized design skills; 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 guides on accessibility (WCAG 2.2, screen readers, keyboard navigation), content strategy (voice frameworks, tone matrices, microcopy), ethical design remediation, and information architecture (navigation patterns, taxonomy, card sorting). - Use Case: When starting a redesign of 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 execution. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to start an Intent session and describe the product, its users, and the design problem you want to work on.

FAQPage Schema
How do I evaluate a product for dark patterns?

Use the extract mode to systematically inventory the product's patterns, then check findings against the anti-pattern catalog covering deceptive patterns, default manipulation, urgency fabrication, and AI-specific patterns. Each pattern carries a severity rating from Low to Critical with regulatory context.

What is a UX project context document and how do I create one?

A project context document captures users, business model, constraints, ethical stance, and success criteria before design work begins. Use context mode, which walks through a structured protocol covering required and optional context, and explicitly flags assumptions when information is missing.

When should I not use a UX strategy framework?

Skip it for localized tweaks within an established design system, purely technical tasks with no user-facing change, time-critical hotfixes, or when the user has explicit expertise and a specific ask. Rigor is valuable only when it is the scarce resource.

Does the anti-pattern catalog cover GDPR and FTC requirements?

Yes. The catalog maps patterns to regulatory context including GDPR consent rules, FTC enforcement actions like the Fortnite settlement and click-to-cancel rule, COPPA child protections, California CPRA symmetry requirements, and the EU Digital Services Act dark pattern prohibition.

What accessibility guidance is included for designers?

The references cover WCAG 2.2 organized by the POUR principles, assistive technology behavior for screen readers, switch access, voice control and magnification, keyboard navigation and focus management, cognitive accessibility, and inclusive design for situational impairment and aging.
