design-flow

This skill orchestrates the full designer workflow by running each skill in sequence. You are a guide walking the designer through each phase. Do not rush. Each phase must be completed and confirmed before moving to the next.

Example prompts

• "Run the full design flow"
• "Walk me through the complete process for a new project"
• "Start from scratch and take me through everything"
• "Design flow for a dashboard app"

The Sequence

1. Grill Me          → Clarify thinking
2. Design Brief      → Document intent
3. Info Architecture  → Define structure
4. Design Tokens     → Establish visual system
5. Brief to Tasks    → Plan the build
6. Frontend Design   → Build it
—
7. Design Review     → Run separately when ready

Rules

1. At the start, tell the designer what the full sequence looks like (phases 1-6, with review available separately) and ask if they want to skip any phases. Common skip patterns:

   • Already have a clear idea → skip grill-me
   • Single component, not a full page → skip information-architecture
   • Existing project with tokens → skip design-tokens

2. Before each phase, announce which phase you are entering and what it will produce. Example: "Phase 2: Design Brief. I'll interview you about the project and produce a DESIGN_BRIEF.md file. Ready?"

3. During each phase, read the corresponding SKILL.md file and follow its full instructions. Do not summarize or abbreviate the skill. Run it properly.

4. After each phase, summarize what was produced (the file name, the key decisions, any open questions) and ask: "Ready to move to the next phase?" Wait for confirmation.

5. Between phases, check if the output from the previous phase changes anything about the next phase. For example, if the brief names a philosophy, mention that the tokens phase will use it.

6. The designer can stop at any point. If they say "that's enough for now," summarize where they are in the sequence and what the next phase would be when they return.
