Design Modes

Five agents with instructions to frame, explore, structure, critique, and cut scope. Part of the same system as Design Pipeline.

Step 01 - Frame Frame Turn a vague request or a premature solution into a UX problem the team can actually design and discuss.
Step 02 - Explore Explore Understand motivations, fears, and friction before proposing UI. Separate evidence from hypothesis.
Step 03 - Shape Shape Organize content, flows, and decisions into a clear structure, with alternatives and trade-offs in the open.
Step 04 - Test Test Stress-test decisions before they reach users or stakeholders. Be specific, not generic.
Step 05 - Build Build Cut ideas down to an MVP, a first action, and a scope you can ship and learn from.

Each mode generates a full prompt: role, process, constraints, and output format. Pick one and paste it into your model.
