SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Shape the UX and UI for a feature before any code is written. This skill produces a design brief: a structured artifact that guides implementation through discovery, not guesswork.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Discovery-driven UX planning: conducts a structured discovery interview to extract user needs and constraints.
  • Design brief output: delivers a comprehensive brief guiding implementation for designers and engineers.
  • Non-code design planning: focuses on design direction, constraints, and strategy before development.

Quick Start

Initiate a discovery interview for the feature and generate a design brief that guides implementation.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a UX design brief for a new feature?

To create a UX design brief, you can use a structured discovery interview to extract user needs and constraints, producing a comprehensive artifact that guides UI implementation before code is written.

What is discovery-driven UX planning and when do I need it?

Discovery-driven UX planning is a process that extracts user needs and constraints through an explicit interview protocol. You need it during feature planning and product discovery to ensure design direction is based on requirements, not guesswork.

How do I plan UI design direction before starting development?

You plan UI design direction by conducting a structured discovery protocol that outputs a documented handoff artifact. This artifact defines the design strategy and constraints for designers and developers before implementation begins.

Can I use a design brief to guide both designers and engineers?

Yes, a structured design brief serves as a documented handoff artifact that guides implementation for both designers and engineers. It ensures the entire team understands the feature constraints and strategy before code is written.

Does feature planning require a structured discovery interview?

Feature planning benefits from a structured discovery interview to ensure repeatable understanding before code is written. It extracts user needs and constraints to shape the UX and UI direction accurately during design sprints.
