Assumption Mapping
Surface hidden assumptions and prioritize which ones to validate before building.
When to Trigger
- User is starting something new
- User expresses uncertainty ("I think...", "probably...", "should work...")
- User is about to invest significant effort
- User mentions building without mentioning validation
- User asks "what should I test first?"
Quick Start
Ask the user:
- "What are you building and for whom?"
- "What needs to be true for this to succeed?"

ux-specification
Translate PRDs into detailed UX specifications including user flows, screen descriptions, components, and interaction patterns. Use when a user has a PRD and needs to define the concrete UI/UX before generating development prompts. Bridges product requirements to implementation details.
88heuristic-evaluation
Systematic usability evaluation using established heuristics (Nielsen's 10, Shneiderman's 8, or custom rubrics). Use when reviewing UI designs, screenshots, prototypes, or live products for usability issues. Triggers on "review this design", "what's wrong with this UI", "usability check", "evaluate this interface", or when user shares screenshots/mockups asking for feedback.
32user-modeling
Create lightweight user personas and usage scenarios from problem framing or raw research. Use when a user needs to clarify who they're building for beyond a basic target user description. Outputs practical personas and scenarios that inform feature priorities and UX decisions—not marketing fluff.
31prd-generation
Generate lean, actionable Product Requirements Documents from upstream design thinking artifacts or raw input. Use when a user needs to define what they're building with enough structure to guide development but without enterprise bloat. Outputs a PRD that feeds directly into UX specs and development prompts.
25problem-framing
Extract and structure fuzzy product ideas into validated problem statements, target users, and jobs-to-be-done. Use when a user has a raw idea, concept, or solution in mind but hasn't clearly articulated the problem, target user, or assumptions. This skill helps users communicate context to coding agents more effectively, reducing iteration cycles and "that's not what I meant" moments.
25solution-scoping
Prioritize features and define MVP boundaries based on problem framing and user models. Use when a user has validated their problem and understands their users but needs to decide what to build first. Outputs feature priorities, MVP scope, and explicit cuts that feed into PRD generation.
