Idea to UI Design Brief

Overview

Use this skill as an optional Full-mode stage inside the idea workflow. It converts a product/design direction into a practical UI design brief that can guide image-generation concepts, HTML prototypes, or later Superpowers implementation work.

This skill should not run in Lite mode unless the user explicitly asks for UI design. Lite mode should keep the previous simple idea-capture behavior.

The UI brief is a bridge between product thinking and implementation. It should define what the interface should look, feel, and behave like without forcing premature code architecture.

When to Use

Use when the user asks to:

• explore possible UI designs for an idea;
• add a dedicated UI/design stage to the idea workflow;
• generate image prompts for app screenshots, dashboards, landing pages, or product surfaces;
• create a UI brief before giving the idea to a coding agent;
• critique or redesign an already-built app after screenshots exist;
• turn a design doc into screen-by-screen UI requirements.
