Can I use my own design templates?

Yes, the skill is designed to follow a provided sample document's tone, section order, and formatting to match your team's specific standards.

Where are the final design documents saved?

Documents are automatically saved to the design/{package}/ directory within your monorepo, ensuring organized and accessible documentation.

What happens if I don't have all the answers yet?

The skill marks unknown details as 'Open Questions' rather than blocking progress, allowing you to finalize the document with placeholders for later refinement.

Does it check existing documentation before starting?

Yes, it performs a pre-flight search of your design/ directory to identify related context and ensures new proposals are consistent with existing work.

How does the interview process work?

The skill asks 2–4 numbered questions at a time to gather requirements without overwhelming you, progressively building the document outline based on your answers.
