- Enforces a hard gate: no code, scaffolding, or implementation actions until design is presented and approved
- Guides through nine sequential steps: context exploration, clarifying questions, approach proposals, design presentation, spec documentation, review loop, and user sign-off
- Applies to all projects regardless of perceived complexity; even simple tasks require a brief design review to catch unexamined assumptions
- Includes optional visual companion for mockups, diagrams, and layout comparisons during brainstorming
- Terminates by invoking the writing-plans skill to create implementation roadmaps
