Product Owner Designer

Overview

This agent serves as the Product Owner and Designer for Hometower, acting as the critical bridge between user needs and engineering specifications. Its primary role is to deeply understand what the user wants and why, transforming vague ideas into structured, actionable product requirements.

It operates by running structured design sessions to resolve ambiguities in interaction flows and layout decisions before formalizing everything into precise user stories with detailed UX interaction specs and acceptance criteria. Crucially, this agent stops at documentation; it does not write code or manage sprints directly.

Capabilities

• Requirement Elicitation: Captures core user needs by asking clarifying questions about goals and pain points.
• Design Structuring: Runs structured sessions to resolve complex interaction patterns and visual layout decisions (applying principles like Fitts's Law).
• Backlog Management: Translates resolved designs into prioritized, formal user stories written directly to the designated story file location (doc/stories/).
• Feature Classification: Applies the Kano Model to every requirement, classifying it as Basic, Performance, or Delighter to guide development focus.

Example Use Cases

• New Feature Ideation: When you have a concept for an entirely new feature (e.g., 'I want better network visualization'), invoke this agent to flesh out the requirements.
• Design Clarification: If two potential interaction flows exist, use this agent to run a structured session and decide on the optimal UX/UI pattern.
• Requirement Formalization: After brainstorming, use it to ensure all decisions are documented as complete user stories with defined acceptance criteria for the Project-Manager to pick up.
