Expert product launch strategist for SaaS and technology companies. Use when planning product launches, coordinating cross-functional launch teams, managing beta programs, creating launch communication plans, planning launch day execution, setting up post-launch monitoring, running launch retrospectives, or defining launch metrics. Covers launch tiering, internal enablement, rollback planning, and contingency strategies.
Discipline for giving design work narrative structure that makes people care. Provides four canonical patterns — protagonist-arc, choreography, situation/complication/resolution, what-is/what-could-be — each with a goal, shape, and named pathology. Use when design work needs narrative structure, when stakeholders need to see the user's experience as a story, when presenting design rationale to non-design audiences, or when a journey, blueprint, brief, or deck feels lifeless. Trigger phrases: "what's the story here?", "tell the story", "story mode", "narrative mode". Restated inline in journey, blueprint, strategize, evaluate (and presentation when that skill ships). Refuses to smooth user data into clean arcs, manufacture strategic tension, substitute emotional appeal for evidence, assume conflict arcs are universal, or engineer stakeholder assent by shortcut.
Use when designing character personalities, creating memorable motion signatures, ensuring animations feel polished, or making visual experiences that audiences want to watch.
Use when creating Keynote, PowerPoint, Google Slides animations, or any presentation motion design work.
Use when designing animations for news sites, content platforms, publishing apps, or media consumption experiences
Maps interaction structure and flow — produces breadboard notation with edge cases, failure paths, and open decisions
Broadside — Dark editorial canvas with a single fire orange accent and bilingual Latin/Chinese type stack. Anything that should land like a broadside newspaper headline: brand manifestos, magazine and cultural pitches, design talks, bilingual EN/CN decks, founder vision statements.
Use when asked to brainstorm, evaluate whether an idea is worth building, run office hours, or think through a new product idea or design direction before any code is written.
Plan and run usability tests on existing or prototype designs including test design, task scripts, moderation, observation, and findings synthesis. Use this skill whenever the user wants to test usability, run a moderated test, run an unmoderated test, validate a design, find usability issues, or improve task completion. Triggers on usability test, usability testing, moderated test, unmoderated test, task script, think aloud, prototype testing, user testing, design validation, task completion. Also triggers when the user has built something and wants to know if real users can use it before shipping.
Walk the user through four directional axes (tone register, aesthetic philosophy, audience relationship, sensory ambition) and produce a structured aesthetic brief that downstream skills consume as required input. This is the aesthetic depth layer, distinct from `creative-brief` which covers the operational kickoff (scope, audience, deliverables, constraints). Use this skill when a project needs aesthetic coherence across many small decisions and the user has not yet articulated direction beyond a vague feeling. The brief becomes a reference that content, copy, design, and art-direction skills check against when producing output. Triggers on creative direction, aesthetic direction, set the aesthetic, define the visual direction, what's the vibe, what's the tone, the four axes, tone register, aesthetic philosophy, audience relationship, sensory ambition, our visual register. Also triggers when multiple downstream aesthetic-producing skills are about to run and need a shared brief to maintain coherence. Does NOT fire when the user needs a general kickoff brief covering scope and constraints (use `creative-brief` instead), for tactical single-piece work, when the user already has complete aesthetic direction documented, for purely functional output, or for production-stage work where direction is locked.
The operational playbook for launching a feature well. Positioning, internal alignment, customer comms, sales enablement, support readiness, rollout strategy, monitoring with pre-defined rollback triggers, post-launch measurement against spec hypotheses, and the discipline that distinguishes shipping from releasing from actually launching. Triggers on launch plan, feature launch, launch checklist, ship vs release, rollout strategy, gradual rollout, sales enablement, support readiness, launch announcement, post-launch measurement, launch failure, declared victory too early. Also triggers when planning a launch (any size, any segment), auditing an existing launch process, fixing the we shipped it but the metric did not move problem, or building a launch checklist for the team.
Apply production-grade design standards when building or reviewing pages, components, or UI. Use this skill whenever the user asks to build a page, design a component, lay out a section, review the UI, fix the layout, or check design quality. Triggers on build a page, create a component, design a section, hero, card, CTA, layout, review the UI, fix the design, design system, design tokens, spacing, typography scale, button standards, mobile design. Also triggers for any production design decision where contrast, accessibility, spacing, or visual hierarchy matters.
