design-brief
Gather design context for this project, then persist it for all future sessions.
Step 1: Explore the Codebase
Before asking questions, thoroughly scan the project to discover what you can:
- README and docs: Project purpose, target audience, any stated goals
- Package.json / config files: Tech stack, dependencies, existing design libraries
- Existing components: Current design patterns, spacing, typography in use
- Brand assets: Logos, favicons, color values already defined
- Design tokens / CSS variables: Existing color palettes, font stacks, spacing scales
- Any style guides or brand documentation
Note what you've learned and what remains unclear.
Step 2: Ask UX-Focused Questions
{{ask_instruction}} Focus only on what you couldn't infer from the codebase:
