Design Forge

Four quick questions — what you're building, your design system, brand assets, and motion level — turn a vague "make it look good" into a precise brief every downstream Design Forge skill reads, so you never re-explain your intent. Native AskUserQuestion at each step; re-run to change a single answer.

• 4 AskUserQuestion prompts, no prose-asks
• Artifact type: prototype / landing / webapp / dashboard / marketing-asset / template-starter / component
• Design-system source: auto-detect / GitHub repo / shadcn theme / live URL (delegates to /design-forge:ingest)
• Optional brand assets: logo / color / typography / tagline
• Motion intensity: minimal / gentle / moderate / expressive
• Re-run any time to change one answer

Lift a real design system into Design Forge in seconds — point it at your current project, a GitHub repo, a named shadcn theme, or a live URL and it extracts the colors, typography, and spacing tokens every generator then matches. No manual token entry; network calls are consent-gated with graceful fallback.

• Auto-detect: scans current project (tailwind.config / globals.css / components.json / theme.ts)
• GitHub repo: shallow clone (--depth 1 --filter=blob:none) + scan + cleanup
• shadcn theme: embedded snapshot of 9 named themes (default / slate / zinc / stone / gray / neutral / rose / violet / blue)
• Live URL: fetches HTML + linked stylesheets, parses :root { --* } and top color/font literals — 30s wall-clock budget, no headless browser
• Consent prompt before any network call (URL mode)
• Normalized tokens.json with source provenance + raw blob for debugging

Map user types, goals, flows, screens before coding.

• User-type taxonomy
• Goal → flow → screen mapping
• Pre-coding alignment artifact

AI-powered design research agent using WebSearch and WebFetch to discover patterns, evaluate competitors, analyze technologies.

• Competitor analysis with tech stack detection
• Pattern discovery across 5-10 real implementations
• Technology comparison matrices with bundle sizes
• Actionable reports for implementation

Snapshot any market in one pass — competitor features, live pricing, positioning, and the open gaps — turned into a feature matrix, a pricing table, and a positioning quadrant you can act on. Grounds branding and compose so your design decisions answer a real competitive picture, not a guess.

• Feature matrix across the competitors that matter
• Live pricing + packaging table
• Positioning quadrant — where the white space actually is
• Gap list that feeds branding, copy, and compose

Turn "I need a logo" into a real, versatile brand identity: a validated name (trademark, domain, and category-collision checked), a full logo system — wordmark, icon, lockup, and an optional mascot — in light/dark/transparent variants, plus palette, type, and a brand board. It grounds itself first by running the market + design research, asks whether you even need a domain, then generates the marks as HTML rendered to image so they stay crisp and on-brand. Free for everyone.

• Entry-point question routes it: have a brand · have a company but no logo · start from zero
• Names validated for trademark, domain, and category collision before you commit
• Logo system — wordmark · icon · lockup · optional mascot — the research decides which fit
• Every mark in light/dark + mono/knockout + transparent; reads on white, dark, a photo, and at 16px
• Domain is a question, not an assumption

Drive a whole brand/marketing surface — a website, a funnel, a landing page, or a pitch deck — to completion as one gated, resumable, autonomous campaign. It orchestrates the Design Forge skills end-to-end (intake -> research -> copy -> build -> verify) on a single verified Positioning Foundation, hard-gates the build until the positioning is actually locked, and doesn't stop until the result renders and lands. Pursue, for design.

• Orchestrates intake, product-planner, analyze-market, ux-researcher, copywriter, and ui-designer as stages
• Foundation Gate hard-blocks copy/build until the verified DNA + proof locks — know the issue before touching files
• Verify-by-rendering: boots the surface, screenshots each route, checks render + on-brand + traces-to-DNA
• Resumable + autonomous; renders live in the Campaigns panel
• Artifact types: website · funnel · landing page · pitch deck

Generate conversion-grade website and marketing copy from your customers' own language. It mines voice-of-customer, picks the message strategy that actually moves your specific buyer, builds a pillar-and-proof message house, and writes section-by-section copy keyed to your design — including a "sell yourself" mode for founders and experts who position other people's products brilliantly but undervalue their own.

• Voice-of-customer mining — reviews, interviews, support, and competitor messaging
• Message house: promise -> pillars -> verified proof, before any section copy
• Founder/self-positioning mode for the "expert can't pitch themselves" case
• Quote != built: every claim traces to verified proof, never fabricated
• Single-page or whole-site mode; copy keyed to ui-designer's sections

Get the built site found. The off-site distribution layer: it adapts to how your business actually gets discovered, audits your current footprint, and produces a 30/60/90 plan plus ready-to-use assets — Google Business Profile, local SEO, AI-citability, the zero-reviews cold-start, and channel recommendations by industry. Compose builds the business card; this hands it out.

• Routes the plan to where your buyers actually look for you — not a generic checklist
• Footprint audit — profile, NAP consistency, AI crawlers, reviews, listings
• Review cold-start playbook for the zero-reviews problem
• AI-citability: the correct retrieval-bot allowlist + answer-first (2026-validated)
• 30/60/90 plan with every action tagged time-vs-money

Make the site findable by Google and by AI answer engines. It generates the on-site artifacts straight from your brand foundation — metadata, sitemap, robots with the correct retrieval-bot allowlist, JSON-LD for the schema that still earns rich results, OG images, and answer-first structure — then audits and validates them. AEO/GEO is built in, and it's current to 2026 (Next.js-aware).

• Generates metadata, sitemap, robots, JSON-LD, and OG — from the foundation
• Robots: the correct retrieval-bot allowlist (Googlebot gates AI Overviews)
• Generates only schema that still earns rich results (skips deprecated FAQPage/HowTo)
• GEO: answer-first / passage-chunking is the lever — no llms.txt games
• Audit + validate (Lighthouse, schema-dts); built for Next.js 16

Turn one positioning pillar into 20-50 platform-native posts. It atomizes a verified message pillar, packages each one natively per channel (never copy-paste), meets each audience on the channels they already use, anchors every post to verified proof, and runs a 2026 authenticity pass — then hands you drafts and a content calendar. It never auto-publishes; you edit and post.

• COPE: atomize one pillar into 20-50 posts, packaged per channel (never paste)
• Targets the channels your audience actually lives on
• A proven hook system so every post earns the scroll-stop
• Authenticity gate: verified-proof anchor, voice-match, strip AI tells
• Never auto-publishes — drafts for your edit + a content calendar
