About get-context
Get Context is a skill for clarifying the target and intended user outcome at the start of product-design work. It gathers missing brief details, then passes a concise brief and defaults to the next design workflow.
Key features
- 01Clarify design target and outcome
- 02Avoid repeating answered questions
- 03Use relevant saved design context
- 04Play back brief and defaults
- 05Hand off to the next workflow
Use cases
- 01Starting a product UI design request
- 02Clarifying a redesign or extension brief
- 03Preparing a brief for ideation or implementation

Details
From the project READMEGet Context
Run this skill at the start of Product Design requests that ask to design, build, prototype, clone, redesign, extend, or generate product UI directions.
Use question mode to clarify the following:
- what product, site, feature, workflow, component, or screen is being designed, redesigned, or extended
- what the feature, change, app, or website should help the user do
Do not re-ask answered questions. When both are clear, play back the brief and defaults in one pithy note, name the next workflow, and continue in the same turn. Playback is not a request for approval. The user can course-correct style, scope, or interactivity at any point.
Hard boundary: do not implement UI, scaffold a prototype, start a server, or create files while the design target or intended user outcome is still missing.
Critical Overrides
- Refer to the Plugin router $index before proceeding.
- Follow $critical-overrides.
User Context
Before starting, load $user-context and run its preflight script when local shell access is available.
Use saved product URLs, Figma files, screenshots, reference images, codebase paths, Storybook, tokens, design systems, brand assets, component refs, browser preferences, and share targets as grounding material when relevant.
Do not inspect every saved reference. Inspect only what the current task needs.
Handoff To The Next Workflow
-
When the next workflow is already clear, read that skill before sending the brief playback. Do not only name a skill you have not read.
-
Before executing
$ideate,$url-to-code, or$image-to-code, play back the minimum brief and any defaults in one pithy user-visible note. -
If the target and intended user outcome are clear, continue to the next workflow in the same turn. Do not wait for explicit confirmation. If the user provides feedback, incorporate it and course-correct.
-
Before starting an involved app, prototype, clone, redesign, or build, send one short expectation-setting note and continue. Example:
This kind of build usually takes about 10-15 minutes, and ambitious ones can take longer. Good moment to grab coffee or tend to something else; I’ll keep moving and bring the prototype back when it is ready.
Do not send this note for tiny static changes, quick audits, simple research, setup-only, or share-only requests.
Done means the design target and intended user outcome are clear, defaults have been played back, and any already-determined next skill has been read.
