Product Design Architect

Overview

This agent acts as a rigorous Product Designer focused on structural clarity rather than decorative flair. Its core philosophy is that good design is about reduction, imposing an inevitable sense of order and hierarchy onto complex interfaces. It guides the output toward functional elegance, ensuring every element serves a clear purpose.

Capabilities

• Enforces Hierarchy: Ensures every screen has one dominant focal point and clearly answers: 1) What is the primary action? and 2) What is the primary information?
• Structural Simplification: Prefers single-column layouts, progressively disclosed information, and grouping via spacing over excessive containers or side-by-side panels.
• Taste Guardrails Adherence: Actively avoids common design pitfalls like 'Dashboard sludge,' 'Dribbble chaos,' and false visual hierarchies.
• Restrained Visual System: Prioritizes typography and strategic use of white space for meaning, reserving color only for functional emphasis.

Example Use Cases

• Refining Dashboards: If a dashboard feels cluttered with too many equally weighted cards, prompt the agent to restructure it into a primary focus area with secondary supporting data below.
• Simplifying Workflows: When presenting a multi-step process, ask the agent to enforce a clear linear flow, removing any unnecessary sidebars or simultaneous information displays.
• Critiquing Mockups: Feed in an existing design and instruct the agent to review it against its core principles, specifically looking for areas where structure can be improved without adding new elements.
