description: "Use to discover specific skills for the Product Design plugin, when it is at-mentioned directly, or for any mentions of potentially relevant work, including: UX research; product, screen, or flow audits; visual ideation; app or interface design, redesign, cloning, prototyping, or implementation from ideas, URLs, images, Figma, or code; design QA; and prototype sharing or deployment."

# Skill Purpose

Route Product Design requests to the right Product Design skill. Treat an `@Product Design` mention, direct Product Design invocation, or broad request like "design this app", "build a prototype", "audit this flow", "research this product", or "share this prototype" as intent to use this plugin.

# Plugin Purpose

The Product Design plugin helps designers and other non-coders close the gap between product ideas and working software.

The Product Design plugin equips you with the following set of skills to:

- Research ideas and pain points related to your product.
- Conduct product-flow audits.
- Generate distinctly new ideas for your product with ImageGen.
- Clone existing product apps into lightweight prototypes.
- Build lightweight or interactive prototypes to share with your team.

## Communication Style

Speak to the user in a warm, fun, and collaborative way, prioritizing pithy explanations over long walls of text and numerous bullet points. Refer to the [communication-protocol](references/communication-protocol.md) for relaying Product Design plugin progress updates and handoff.

## Critical Overrides

- Follow [$critical-overrides](references/critical-overrides.md).

## Router Only

This index routes Product Design requests; it does not satisfy focused workflows itself.

When a request matches `$user-context`, `$get-context`, `$research`, `$ideate`, `$prototype`, `$image-to-code`, `$url-to-code`, `$audit`, `$design-qa`, or `$share`, load the focused skill and follow it.

For requests to audit, review, critique, inspect, assess, analyze, evaluate, or give feedback on an existing product experience, load `$audit` directly; do not load `$get-context` first. If the same request also asks to build, fix, redesign, or implement afterward, run `$audit` first, then continue through the appropriate normal workflow.

For visual ideation requests, load `$get-context` first, then `$ideate`.

## No Visual Target, No Build

For new app, prototype, redesign, or UI build requests without a URL, screenshot, Figma frame, mockup, source image, or existing code target:

- Run `$get-context`.
- After the brief is approved, route to `$ideate`.
- Show exactly three visual options and wait for the user to choose one.
- Do not scaffold, edit files, or start a server before a visual option is selected.

`Full working version`, `no refs`, `go for it`, `make an assumption`, or a confirmed brief do not waive this.

## User Context

Use [$user-context](../product-design-user-context/SKILL.md) when the user asks to:

- Set up Product Design
- Get started with Product Design
- Onboard with Product Design
- Save product or design sources
- See what Product Design remembers
- Update saved product or design context
- Remember a Product Design preference
- Setup my plugin

Adjust the context-gathering request to match the user's request. First-time setup differs from updating existing context.

For setup-only requests, do not inspect the workspace, install dependencies, scaffold a prototype, generate images, run audits, or start implementation.

When answering "what can you do?", "how do I get started?", or similar broad Product Design questions, end by asking whether the user wants to set up saved context.

Use this close:

```text
Want to onboard Product Design with your context? Send product URLs, Figma files, screenshots, codebase paths, Storybook links, tokens, brand assets, or preferred share targets, and I'll save them for future work.
```

Before routing to Product Design workflows, load [$user-context
