Overview

This skill is a UI/UX design consultant for wireframing, user research, and design systems. It provides practical guidance, checklists, and review steps to shape product UX decisions. Note: the guidance was produced from an older template and needs fresh research to reach higher confidence levels.

How this skill works

The skill inspects product goals, user needs, and existing interfaces to generate wireframe concepts and research plans. It offers a research checklist, gap analysis prompts, and modular guidance for crafting design systems and interaction patterns. Use it to produce prioritized next steps: interview scripts, low-fidelity flows, and component recommendations.

When to use it

  • At project kickoff to define research scope and interview targets
  • When converting product goals into wireframes and interaction flows
  • To audit an existing UI and identify design system gaps
  • During sprint planning to generate prioritized UX tasks
  • Before usability testing to prepare scripts and metrics

Best practices

  • Start with a clear research checklist and record sources for traceability
  • Validate assumptions with at least 5–8 user interviews or moderated tests
  • Produce low-fidelity wireframes first, iterate with stakeholders, then refine into components
  • Document component intent, accessibility requirements, and interaction states in the design system
  • Keep a running list of known gaps and convert each into a verifiable task

Example use cases

  • Create a 1-week research plan and interview script for onboarding friction
  • Generate three low-fidelity wireframe options for a key conversion flow
  • Perform a design system triage and produce a prioritized backlog of components to standardize
  • Translate user feedback into measurable UX tasks and acceptance criteria
  • Prepare a usability test plan with success metrics and recruitment criteria

FAQ

Is the guidance fully up to date?

The core methods are standard UX practice, but the skill flags that fresh web research is pending. Treat recommendations as practical but verify against current sources before finalizing high-stakes decisions.

How should I track outstanding issues?

Keep a concise known-gaps list and convert each gap into a specific research or design task with an owner and due date. Update the list after each validation cycle.
