What this skill does

Example prompts "Grill me on this landing page idea" "I want to build a dashboard for tracking team metrics. Challenge my thinking." "Stress-test my approach to this settings page" "I have a rough idea for a portfolio site. Help me think it through." Instructions Interview me relentlessly about every aspect of this plan until we reach a shared understanding. Walk down each branch of the design tree, resolving dependencies between decisions one by one. If a question can be answered by exploring the codebase, explore the codebase instead of asking me. If a question can be answered by examining existing components, styles, or design tokens in the project, examine them instead of asking me. For each question, provide your recommended answer.
