What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps design teams structure and guide early-stage user journey design by asking targeted questions to uncover goals, triggers, and success criteria before any sketches.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Question-first discovery framework to reveal user goals, triggers, and expectations.
• Phase-based approach (Goal Discovery, Mental Model, Emotional Journey, Shared Artifacts, Error Paths, Integration Points, CLI UX considerations) to guide the discovery session.
• Produces a draft sketch after initial answers to surface concrete progress and unknowns.
• Useful for new journey design or when discovery needs deepening across product design, UX, and research.

Quick Start

Respond to a new journey design with the discovery methodology: begin by framing the user goal and trigger, then proceed through the phase questions to produce a draft sketch.
