Define how the system evolves — contribution model, versioning, deprecation, and change management.

Owl-Listener/designer-skills

Audit token usage across a product for coverage, drift, and hard-coded values.

Owl-Listener/designer-skills

Apply the Doherty Threshold — keep system response under 400ms to preserve user flow.

Owl-Listener/designer-skills

Build a Says, Thinks, Does, Feels map for one user or segment.

Owl-Listener/designer-skills

Design error prevention, detection, and recovery across a product — message content, placement, and escape routes.

Owl-Listener/designer-skills

Design confirmations, status updates, and notifications that tell users an action registered.

Owl-Listener/designer-skills

Apply Fitts's Law — target acquisition time depends on size and distance.

Owl-Listener/designer-skills

Design a form end to end — field order, grouping, validation, and completion.

Owl-Listener/designer-skills

Design gesture interactions for touch and pointer — swipe, drag, long-press, and their discoverability.

Owl-Listener/designer-skills

Write the implementation handoff — measurements, behaviours, assets, states, and edge cases.

Owl-Listener/designer-skills

Run an expert review against Nielsen's heuristics and domain criteria, with severity ratings.

Owl-Listener/designer-skills

Apply Hick's Law — decision time grows with the number of simultaneous choices.

Owl-Listener/designer-skills

Define an illustration style guide — visual language, colour usage, and application rules.

Owl-Listener/designer-skills

Design content structure, hierarchy, labelling, and the navigation model.

Owl-Listener/designer-skills

Apply an emotional resonance lens to a UI that is technically correct but flat, prescribing changes at the copy, motion, and interaction layer.

Owl-Listener/designer-skills

Map one persona's end-to-end experience with stages, touchpoints, emotions, and pain points.

Owl-Listener/designer-skills

Apply the Law of Common Region — a shared container, background, or border groups elements regardless of spacing.

Owl-Listener/designer-skills

Apply the Law of Proximity — spatial closeness groups elements more strongly than any other cue.

Owl-Listener/designer-skills

Design waiting experiences — spinners, skeletons, optimistic updates, and progressive reveal.

Owl-Listener/designer-skills

Design for multiple languages, writing directions, and cultural contexts — text expansion, RTL mirroring, and locale formats.

Owl-Listener/designer-skills

Specify one micro-interaction completely — trigger, rules, feedback, loops, and modes.

Owl-Listener/designer-skills

Apply Miller's Law — chunk information into groups of about four to fit working memory.

Owl-Listener/designer-skills

Define motion tokens — durations, easing vocabulary, and reduced-motion handling — for consistency product-wide.

Owl-Listener/designer-skills

Select and design a navigation pattern — tabs, drawer, hierarchy, or hub — matched to product structure and user tasks.
