Turn this request into a design brief
Starting work where the whole goal arrived as one Slack message.
Write a design brief from the notes below, and be explicit about what is missing. Structure: - **Problem**: whose problem, how we know, how often it happens. - **Success**: what changes if this works, stated as something observable. - **Users and context**: who, on what device, under what pressure. - **Scope**: what is in, and a firm list of what is out. - **Constraints**: technical, legal, brand, timeline, existing patterns we must reuse. - **Open questions**: what nobody has decided yet. No solution in the brief unless a constraint already fixed it. Where the notes assume a solution, restate it as the underlying problem and flag the assumption. End with the three questions I should answer before any design starts. Notes:
Making it yours
- Paste your own material where the prompt asks for it. Everything above that line is instruction, not content.
- Delete any rule that does not apply to you. A shorter prompt that fits beats a thorough one that does not.
- If the answer comes back vague, add a line saying what you do not want. Constraints work better than encouragement.
Briefs and decisions. The work around the design: turning a request into a brief, choosing between options, writing down why.
