design-rationale skillA
design-rationale is agent-read markdown (skill) from ommakes/skills: Help designers articulate the cognitive science, behavioral psychology, and platform standards behind their design decisions. Use this skill when a designer needs to explain why they made a decision in a critique, design review, or stakeholder meeting. Also use when auditing a screen for principle alignment, preparing for pushback, or evaluating whether a decision is truly irreversible. Trigger on phrases like: "how do I explain this decision", "what principle applies here", "help me defend this.
