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 hollow products, manipulative patterns, and inconsistent UX. Intent establishes project context, routes work to specialized design skills, and makes the reasoning behind every design decision explicit and testable. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Three operating modes: context mode builds a project context document, practice mode routes to 15 specialized UX skills, and extract mode produces a UX pattern inventory from an existing product. - Anti-pattern catalog: Identifies deceptive, manipulative, and negligent design patterns across 10 categories with severity ratings and regulatory context (GDPR, FTC, COPRA, DSA). - Reference knowledge base: Loads in-depth guidance on accessibility (WCAG 2.2), content strategy, ethical design, and information architecture on demand. - Use Case: When starting a redesign of a checkout flow, invoke Intent to gather user and constraint context, check the flow against the dark pattern catalog, and route to the appropriate specialized skill for journey mapping or copy work. ## Quick Start Invoke /intent and describe what you are designing and for whom to establish project context and get routed to the right UX skill.

Frequently Asked Questions about intent

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I start a UX design project with a structured framework?▼

Invoke the intent skill at the start of any design engagement. Its context mode gathers users, product context, constraints, and ethical stance, then produces a project context document that routes subsequent work to specialized skills.

How to detect dark patterns in an existing product?▼

Use extract mode to systematically inventory patterns in a product and check them against the anti-pattern catalog. The catalog covers deceptive patterns, default manipulation, fabricated urgency, addictive design, and AI-specific patterns with severity ratings.

What UX anti-patterns violate GDPR or FTC rules?▼

Prechecked consent boxes, asymmetric opt-out flows, and forced continuity violate GDPR and FTC rules. The skill maps each anti-pattern to regulatory context including GDPR Article 7, the FTC click-to-cancel rule, COPPA, and the EU Digital Services Act.

Does this skill replace user research or visual design tools?▼

No. It is a thinking and routing system for UX reasoning, not a visual design system, component library, or substitute for primary user research. It frames problems and flags risks before specialized skills execute the work.

When should I not use a UX strategy framework?▼

Skip it for localized tweaks within an established 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 costly when it is not the scarce resource.
