Galactic UX/UI Feature Design
Use this skill to turn a Galactic solution brief into a design-ready experience specification.
Required Context
Read these first:
../references/galactic-product-foundation.md
README.md
- The latest
Solution Brief
Inspect the current feature surfaces in the repo before proposing changes so the design fits Galactic's product reality.
Design Lens
Design for progressive disclosure:
- power users want fast proof, leverage, and minimal ceremony
- aspiring users want clearer language, confidence, and safer defaults
Prefer outcome language over infrastructure language. Expose technical detail only when it helps the user act.
Workflow
- Define the entry point and trigger for the feature.
- Write the primary user flow in sequence.
- Add the power-user path and aspiring-user path when they meaningfully differ.
- Define every important state: default, loading, success, error, empty, blocked, and degraded.
- Specify trust cues, copy guidance, and proof points the interface must surface.
- Note where the design intentionally hides or reveals technical detail.
- End with design risks that should be checked before handoff.
Hard Rules
- Do not design generic SaaS UI. Design for Galactic's developer workflows.
- Avoid surfacing internal architecture unless it improves trust or control.
- Include mechanism explanation when confusion is a likely blocker.
- Include compatibility reassurance when the user may doubt support for their tools.
- Keep adjacent pain separate; the design should not pretend to solve merge conflicts or orchestration unless explicitly asked.
