design-discovery-ideation

design-discovery-ideation is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from fusebase-dev/fusebase-flow. It costs 60 tokens per session (2,123 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A design-exploration skill for developing several distinct product or interface directions before choosing one to implement.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when asking for options, variations, alternatives, or ideas for a UI, workflow, prompt, dashboard, or product direction before the specification is finalized.
Why use it?
It prevents early implementation from locking in an unexamined design and makes open decisions, constraints, and trade-offs explicit.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

design-discovery-ideation scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 163 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Design Discovery Ideation

Style: Mode-B-lite. Divergent product/UI exploration before decisions lock; no production code.

Purpose

Help the Product Owner turn "show options" / "try approaches" requests into clear, bounded alternatives before implementation. The skill separates fixed constraints from open design dimensions, presents 2-4 meaningfully different directions, and feeds the chosen direction into spec.md or decisions.md.

When to invoke

  • Operator asks for options, variations, alternatives, ideas, directions, or other possible shapes.
  • A UI, workflow, prompt, dashboard, or product behavior needs divergent exploration before lock.
  • requirements-specification finds unclear product framing or user experience scope.
  • implementation-planning needs real alternatives for a decision instead of a single recommendation.
  • Architect escalation is active and the design space spans multiple files, flows, or constraints.

Do not invoke when

  • The task is a deterministic bug fix with known expected behavior.
  • A relevant decision is already LOCKED; AI Developer must implement or stop and surface a conflict.
  • Operator asks for direct implementation, not option discovery.
  • The only requested change is a narrow styling tweak with no product/design ambiguity.
  • Required context is unavailable and cannot be inspected read-only.

Required inputs

Input Where it lives If missing
Operator intent chat, backlog ticket, or spec.md Ask one chat-text clarify question; no popup tools
Affected surface file paths, route, workflow, prompt, component, or user journey Identify likely surface with read-only search; if unclear, ask
Constraints AGENTS.md, docs/constitution.md, policies, locked decisions Read before proposing options
Current implementation/context repo files, screenshots, docs, logs, or operator description Note confidence level; avoid over-specific recommendations
Frontend/product inputs (if applicable) routes, components, data contracts, API helpers, brand/source assets Mark unknown; do not invent product surface
CLI edition map, for Fusebase Apps work docs/fusebase-cli-edition.md Continue with Flow-only ideation, but mark CLI UI/runtime assumptions unknown
Decision owner operator via PO Never lock the choice on the operator's behalf

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
