SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Designing robust design plans often misses explicit design decisions, leading to ambiguity during implementation. This Skill audits a plan-design-review to surface those gaps, ensuring every design choice is reasoned, justified, and ready for development.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automatically detects missing empty states, error states, accessibility concerns, and responsive considerations in design plans.
  • Proposes concrete questions and additions to the plan to close gaps before handoff to engineering.
  • Use cases include early-stage plan critique, design-system alignment, and project kickoffs where decisions must be captured in the plan.

Quick Start

Review the PLAN branch and surface missing design decisions by prompting for explicit choices and adding them to the plan.

FAQPage Schema
How do I find missing design decisions in a product plan before handoff?

A design plan review identifies gaps in early-stage product plans by checking for missing empty states, error states, accessibility, and responsive behavior. It surfaces these overlooked design decisions so they can be explicitly added before engineering handoff.

What is the best way to audit a design plan for accessibility and responsive behavior?

The best way to audit a design plan for accessibility and responsive behavior is to run a review that automatically detects these missing considerations. It then proposes concrete questions and actionable additions to close the gaps in the plan.

How do I ensure my design critique captures empty and error states?

To ensure a design critique captures empty and error states, review the plan to detect missing state definitions. The process prompts you with explicit choices and recommended additions, making sure all states are defined before implementation.

Can I align my design plan with an existing DESIGN.md or design system?

Yes, you can align a design plan with an existing DESIGN.md or design system guidelines. The plan review process surfaces missing design decisions and recommends additions that conform to your established design system standards.

Does a design plan review modify existing code or implementation files?

No, a design plan review does not modify code or implementation files. It strictly produces actionable prompts and recommended additions for the plan itself, ensuring design decisions are captured without altering the underlying codebase.
