Design Engineer

Build interfaces with intention, consistency, and memory. This skill helps you establish design direction, remember your decisions across sessions, and maintain systematic consistency.

Smart Dispatcher (Auto-runs)

Before building any UI, detect the mode:

Step 1: Determine Mode

Check for .design-engineer/system.md:

  • Neither? → PRINCIPLES ONLY (just apply principles)

Step 2: Execute Mode
