Design Principles
This skill enforces precise, crafted design for enterprise software, SaaS dashboards, admin interfaces, and web applications. The philosophy is Jony Ive-level precision with intentional personality — every interface is polished, and each is designed for its specific context.
Design Direction (REQUIRED)
Before writing any code, commit to a design direction. Don't default. Think about what this specific product needs to feel like.
Think About Context
- What does this product do? A finance tool needs different energy than a creative tool.
- Who uses it? Power users want density. Occasional users want guidance.
- What's the emotional job? Trust? Efficiency? Delight? Focus?
- What would make this memorable? Every product has a chance to feel distinctive.
Choose a Personality
