Design brief

Walk the idea's UI one screen at a time — what it shows, what the user can click or act on, what states each element has, how screens connect — then write the brief to docs/design/<slug>-brief.md. Same interview discipline as [[z-grill-with-docs]]: one question per turn, option cases with a marked recommended answer. Use the host's available question tool for structured choices within its supported schema; fall back to concise prose when unavailable.

Screen inventory

List every screen the idea implies — including the auth, empty, error, and settings screens briefs usually forget. Reuse an already-approved inventory. Resolve missing or changed screens before descending into them; use multi-select only when the host question tool supports it.

Per screen

Resolve in order, one screen at a time; finish a screen before opening the next.

  • Purpose — the one job this screen does; if it has two, it may be two screens.
  • Shows — data and content, where it comes from, what empty and loading look like.
  • Actions — every clickable or actionable element; for each: label, effect, destination, failure behavior.
  • States — per element: default, disabled, loading, error; hover/focus where it matters.
  • Transitions — what leads here, where each action leads, what back does.
