Design Engineering

Orchestrate design-heavy frontend work that requires iteration, technical decisions, and validation. This skill is about the process — how to research, plan, build, validate, and refine — not the aesthetics (use frontend-design for that).

When to Use

• Visual work that will take multiple iterations to get right
• Choosing between technical approaches (Canvas vs SVG vs CSS, etc.)
• Coordinating sub-agents on parallel design/engineering tasks
• Refining an implementation based on user feedback
• Any frontend work where "build it and ship" isn't enough

The Iteration Loop

Every design-engineering task follows this cycle:

Research → Plan → Approve → Execute → Validate → Feedback → Refine
