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 structured design brief that guides implementation through discovery, not guesswork.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured Discovery: Executes a formal discovery interview following the Context Gathering Protocol to surface goals, constraints, and success metrics.
  • Design Brief Output: Produces a comprehensive design brief that informs design direction, feasibility, and implementation strategy.
  • Planning Phase Guidance: Serves as the planning artifact to align product, design, and engineering teams before code is written.

Quick Start

Run the discovery interview following the Context Gathering Protocol, then synthesize a formal design brief.

FAQPage Schema
How do I plan UX and UI for a feature before coding starts?

Plan UX and UI before coding by running a structured discovery interview that gathers context and produces a comprehensive design brief to guide implementation.

What is a design brief in the context of feature planning?

A design brief is a structured planning artifact that surfaces goals, constraints, and success metrics to align product, design, and engineering teams before code is written.

How do I conduct a discovery interview for UI design context gathering?

Conduct a discovery interview by following the Context Gathering Protocol, which uses a mandatory frontmatter-driven entry to systematically surface user needs and feasibility constraints.

Can I align product and engineering teams using a structured UX planning process?

Align product and engineering teams by using a structured UX planning process that synthesizes discovery interview results into a formal design brief establishing direction and implementation strategy.

Do I need to follow a specific context protocol to generate a UX design brief?

You need to follow the Context Gathering Protocol to generate a UX design brief, as it enforces a mandatory frontmatter-driven entry to establish accurate direction and strategy for implementation.

What are the limitations of planning UX through automated discovery interviews?

Planning UX through automated discovery is limited to the planning phase; it produces strategic direction and a design brief but does not execute code or replace visual prototyping workflows.
