At a glance

Frames new surfaces, redesigns and vague product requests by grounding the business model and the user's task before any layout, in discover, frame or materialize modes.

  • Works in 6 steps: Ground the business model → Frame the user's view model → Diagnose the structural error → …
  • Designing a new surface where the user's task and business meaning are unclear
  • SKILL.md covers Relationship to other skills, Select the smallest run mode, Step 1 — Ground the business… and Step 2 — Frame the user's view…, plus 7 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

The skill decides what to build and why before anyone argues about spacing. Two rules are fixed: never design from the surface, and never turn the business model into the information architecture, because the domain limits what a surface may claim while the user's retrieval and decision task decides how it is organized. A test for staying on topic is to strip every framework, table and component name and see whether any product insight remains.

Work runs in the smallest mode that fits. Discover produces an evidence map, a business model, user-model hypotheses and a structural diagnosis. Frame adds a view model, information architecture, scope and open decisions. Materialize adds a requested spec or prototype. Nothing is created or modified unless you ask for a design artifact, prototype or repository change.

A grounded frame can be handed to the ux and design-prototype skills, while auditing a built screen belongs to ux-audit. For larger runs the agent reads the pattern base and layer model references in full, and the folder also holds a canon, a trace schema, a worked example and a design spec template.

When your agent uses it

  • Designing a new surface where the user's task and business meaning are unclear
  • A redesign request is vague and needs scope and information architecture first
  • Checking what the business actually models before any UI work starts

Example prompts

  • “Frame a redesign of the workspace settings area before we touch any layout.”
  • “Discover what the billing page should be for, starting from the business model.”
  • “Write a design spec for the new agent onboarding flow using the frame mode.”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Ground the business model
  2. Frame the user's view model
  3. Diagnose the structural error
  4. Align decisions by dependency
  5. Prototype when it resolves uncertainty
  6. Scope honestly

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1e86647. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Product Design Framing loads about 2.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~15k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,160 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~43
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.6k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~15k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,160 words (~2,562 tokens).

“Decide what to build and why before arguing about spacing.”
