SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Plan UX and UI for a feature before coding by running a structured discovery interview and producing a design brief that guides implementation. This approach helps establish design direction, constraints, and strategy early, reducing rework and misalignment.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guided discovery interview: gathers context, goals, constraints, and success metrics to inform design direction.
  • Design brief generation: synthesizes findings into a concrete brief that guides product, design, and engineering decisions.
  • Use case: When launching a new feature, run this skill to produce a design brief that aligns teams and sets measurable criteria before any code is written.

Quick Start

Run a structured discovery interview for the feature and produce a design brief that guides implementation.

FAQPage Schema
How do I plan UX design before writing code for a new feature?

You can plan UX design before coding by running a structured discovery interview to gather context, goals, and constraints, then synthesizing the findings into a design brief that guides implementation.

What is a discovery interview in UX design planning?

A discovery interview in UX design planning is a structured process to gather project context, success metrics, and constraints early on, ensuring design direction and strategy are established before development begins.

Can I use this to create a design brief for aligning product and engineering teams?

Yes, you can use this to create a design brief that synthesizes UX planning findings into a concrete document, aligning product, design, and engineering teams while setting measurable criteria before coding starts.

What is the best way to establish UI design direction and constraints for a feature?

The best way to establish UI design direction and constraints is to execute a structured discovery phase that captures goals and metrics, outputting a comprehensive design brief to guide downstream implementation decisions.

When do I need a design brief for UX planning?

You need a design brief for UX planning during the initial planning phase of a new feature, using it to establish design direction, document constraints, and set measurable success criteria before any code is written.

Why should I run a discovery interview before starting implementation?

Running a discovery interview before implementation helps establish design direction, constraints, and strategy early, which reduces rework and prevents misalignment between product, design, and engineering teams.
