A structured design brief is created by conducting a discovery interview to gather context, then synthesizing findings into a formal document defining direction, layout strategy, and interaction models. This prevents guesswork during implementation.

The discovery phase in UX planning is a guided interview process where deep context is gathered without making design decisions or writing code. It establishes constraints and requirements before synthesizing a formal design brief.

You plan UX and UI without guessing by running a two-phase process: a discovery interview to collect context, followed by synthesizing a brief covering feature summary, content requirements, and key states.

Yes, the generated design brief serves as the single source of truth for design planning and can be handed off directly to implementation skills like impeccable craft to guide the coding phase.

A UI design brief should include feature summary, design direction, layout strategy, key states, interaction model, content requirements, references, and open questions to ensure complete implementation context.

You should not make design decisions during the discovery interview phase, as its sole purpose is gathering deep context through guided questions. All design synthesis happens afterward in the brief generation phase.
