design-concepts
by mevans2120
Creates conceptual designs that illustrate design strategy and approach. Use when user says "mockup", "wireframe", "concept", "mood board", "visual direction", "design options", "explore designs", "UI design", "prototype", "design this", "show me designs", "create a design", "look and feel", or "design variations". Leverages research insights and design briefs to develop UI concepts, mood boards, and interactive prototypes. Do NOT use when user needs to understand users first (use design-research), is reviewing an implemented product (use design-qa), or is writing code.
design-research
by mevans2120
Conducts user experience research and analysis to inform design decisions. Use when user says "user research", "persona", "personas", "who are our users", "target audience", "customer segments", "design principles", "user needs", "pain points", "jobs to be done", "JTBD", "user interviews", "discussion guide", "research plan", "competitive analysis", "understand the users", "user data", or "analytics review". Reviews first-party and third-party user data, analyzes industry trends from UX and visual design perspectives, and plans user research studies. Creates personas, customer segments, design principles, design roadmaps, and research discussion guides. Do NOT use when already have approved personas, in implementation/coding phase, need visual mockups (use design-concepts), or reviewing built product (use design-qa).
requirements-dev
by ddunnock
This skill should be used when the user asks to "develop requirements", "formalize needs", "write requirements", "create a specification", "build traceability", "quality check requirements", "INCOSE requirements", "requirements development", "reqdev", or mentions requirements engineering, needs formalization, verification planning, traceability matrix, or systems engineering requirements.
depresearch
by Quintui
CLI tool for AI-powered research of open-source repositories. Use when you need to understand how a feature works in an external codebase without cloning it yourself.
codex-subagents
by obra
Spawn background subagents for parallel or long-running tasks. Use when you need research threads, context isolation, or detached execution.
mobbin-ux
by rohunvora
Research-driven UI/UX improvement using Mobbin. Use when user explicitly requests design pattern research ("use Mobbin", "research design patterns", "find UX patterns for X"). Requires Mobbin account and browser automation (claude-in-chrome MCP). Searches Mobbin for relevant UI patterns, extracts design principles, generates a spec document for approval, then implements. NOT for general UI work—only when user wants research-backed design.
research
by jsegov
This skill should be used when the user asks to "research documentation", "find framework docs", "search for best practices", "look up API documentation", "find implementation patterns", "research how to implement", or when gathering external technical knowledge to inform planning or design decisions.
