Design (Curated Frontend Design Skill)

Use this skill for design-focused frontend tasks without routing into coding.

Operating rules

• Keep responses design-first: clarity, hierarchy, interaction quality, and user context.
• Use progressive disclosure: open only the reference module needed for the active request.
• If a task mixes critique and implementation, start with critique, then provide concrete implementation guidance.
• Prefer actionable outputs: prioritized issues, concrete edits, and copy-paste-ready snippets when requested.
• If the request is ambiguous across modules, ask one brief clarifying question.

Workflow

1. Detect the lane: critique, animation storyboarding, or DialKit tuning.
2. Open the matching reference file and follow that workflow.
3. Produce structured output with concrete observations and next actions.
4. For follow-up requests, switch modules only if user intent changes.
