Plan the UX and UI for a feature before writing code. Run a structured discovery interview, then produce a design brief (.design-context.md) that guides implementation. Establishes design direction, constraints, and strategy before any code is written. Triggers on plan the design, design brief, shape the UX, before we build, design discovery.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

Shape the UX and UI for a feature before any code is written. This skill produces a **design brief** — a structured artifact that guides implementation through discovery, not guesswork.

**Scope**: Design planning only. This skill produces design briefs, not code.

## Preparation

Read `~/.claude/skills/minoan-frontend-design/SKILL.md` for aesthetic principles and anti-pattern guidance. These inform the design direction but should not constrain the discovery interview.

Check for existing design context: `.design-context.md` in the project root, or a `## Design Context` section in CLAUDE.md. If either exists, use it as a starting point — don't re-ask questions it already answers.

## Phase 1: Discovery Interview

Do NOT make any design decisions during this phase. Understand the feature deeply enough to make excellent decisions later.

### Interview cadence

Ask **2-3 questions per round**, then wait for answers. One round is the default. Add a second only if the first answers leave material gaps — don't run a second round just to feel thorough.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add tdimino/claude-code-minoan/shape@sha256:47624e1440c36090

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260515.94938c4, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
