Produce the high-level architecture overview used by downstream product design and engineering.
Independent high-level architecture review gate for discovery.
Entry-point product workflow from raw idea to validated product design artifacts. Stops at reviewed PRD readiness and does not include engineering implementation.
Write the per-feature PRD from the ranked requirements contract using the mandatory PRD template.
Dedicated analyze gate for PRD and UI brief consistency. Runs script extraction first, then semantic review with evidence-backed findings.
Validate whether the captured problem is real, painful, frequent, and worth pursuing before broader discovery work begins.

This skill focuses exclusively on product intent: what problem to solve, for whom, and what success looks like. It does NOT make technical decisions — those belong in later stages.

Skip when:
woos-product-design-flowNote: Capture itself always runs the same way, but mode selection happens in two places:
- Lite may branch immediately after Capture if the idea is obviously trivial and the user confirms.
- Standard / Strict are inferred later, after Product Discovery, from the approved roadmap.
Two capture depths based on idea complexity:
For: single-line fixes, obvious improvements, user already has full clarity.
Process:
ideas/<slug>.mdQuick Note template:
# <Idea Title>
## Summary
One paragraph: what and why.
## Problem
Who has this problem? What pain does it cause?
## Proposed Solution
What should we build?
## Constraints (if any)
- Time, budget, technical, or compatibility constraints
## Success Signal
How do we know it worked?
For: features, product initiatives, anything requiring design thinking.
Process:
GREENLIGHT NEXT STAGE to skip remaining questionsideas/<slug>/00-idea-capture.mdAsk sequentially. Skip if user already provided the information unprompted.
Users often volunteer technical opinions during capture ("I want to use Go", "let's use SQLite", "no React"). This is natural — but it must NOT become a hard constraint in this phase.

## Technical Preferences (Deferred)
> ⚠️ These are user preferences expressed during idea capture. They are NOT confirmed

- "Backend in Go" — user preference, to be evaluated in architecture
- "SQLite for storage" — user preference, to be evaluated in architecture

After capture is complete, assess complexity:
Is it obviously trivial? (typo, 1-liner, single obvious change, user explicitly says it's simple)
→ Yes → Propose Lite to user: "This looks straightforward. I suggest Lite mode — go directly to a lightweight PRD package. Agree?"
→ User confirms → `woos-product-design-flow` Lite
→ User says no → proceed to Discovery
→ No → proceed to `woos-product-discovery` (research needed)
