What get-context does

The skill acts as an upfront filter for interface design and prototyping workflows. When key product details or target platforms are missing, the agent stops to ask clarifying questions. It enforces a strict boundary: no files or servers are started before outcomes become clear.

Once the essentials are pinned down, the agent plays back a brief note and proceeds immediately. It does not pause for approval. When shell access is available, it pulls references from $user-context, reading Figma files or codebase tokens as needed.

Install this if you want structured UI handoffs without hallucinated screens. Skip it when you just need quick throwaway prototypes.

What it helps with

  • clarify target platforms before scaffolding UI
  • stop prototype generation without clear user outcomes
  • ground interface work with Figma and Storybook assets
  • pass confirmed brief parameters into downstream design skills

Example prompts for the agent

  • Redesign our checkout flow for desktop and mobile
  • Build a prototype for the user settings screen using our design system
