Guides

Step-by-step guides for common singularskills workflows.

Your First Design

Walk through the complete Design Thinking process for a button component.

/design-empathize button
/design-define-component button
/design-ideate button
/design-prototype button
/design-test button

Each command builds on the previous phase's artifacts. After all 5 phases, you'll have a complete design in .singularskills/design/button/.

Research a Problem

Use the Double Diamond to investigate a user experience issue.

/research-discover user onboarding friction
/research-define user onboarding friction
/research-design user onboarding friction
/research-deliver user onboarding friction

The Discover phase uses web search to gather real data. Define narrows to a problem statement. Design generates solutions. Deliver validates with evidence.

Build a Feature

Plan and build a feature with TDD discipline.

/development-plan auth-system
/development-build auth-system
/development-test auth-system
/development-review auth-system
/development-ship auth-system

Plan breaks work into bite-sized tasks. Build executes with test-first discipline. Review checks quality. Ship finishes the branch.

Create a Brand

Build a complete brand identity from scratch.

/branding-discover acme
/branding-strategy acme
/branding-verbal acme
/branding-visual acme
/branding-guidelines acme

Place brand assets (logo, fonts, imagery) in .singularskills/branding/acme/assets/ during the Visual phase.

Audit Accessibility

Run a WCAG 2.1 AA audit on your checkout flow.

/accessibility-scope checkout-flow
/accessibility-evaluate checkout-flow
/accessibility-report checkout-flow
/accessibility-remediate checkout-flow
/accessibility-retest checkout-flow

The report includes specific WCAG criteria violations, severity ratings, and remediation steps with code examples.

Get Expert Feedback

Use coaching for instant mentorship on any work product.

/coaching-ux src/components/CheckoutForm.tsx
/coaching-code src/auth/
/coaching-copy landing-page-draft.md
/coaching-a11y src/components/Modal.tsx
/coaching-strategy docs/product-roadmap.md

Each coaching skill scores your work (1-10), highlights strengths, identifies issues, and suggests improvements.

Cross-Domain Workflow

Combine domains for a complete product launch:

  1. /research-discover product-market-fit — research the opportunity
  2. /branding-discover acme — build the brand
  3. /design-empathize landing-page — design the experience
  4. /development-plan landing-page — build it
  5. /accessibility-scope landing-page — audit accessibility
  6. /marketing-launch-strategy launch-campaign — plan the launch
  7. /branding-audit marketing campaign — check brand compliance
  8. /coaching-strategy launch-plan — get strategic feedback

Each domain's artifacts are available to the others via .singularskills/.
