## What it does

This skill covers a user-facing experience from start to finish — the sequence of screens, states and interactions someone moves through to get something done. Signup, settings, search, content creation, collaboration, dashboards, notifications and error handling all fall inside it. It also handles journeys that stretch across channels, where one task touches email, a mobile app, the web and a support call.

It sits in the Intent skill family and hands work to siblings when their domain matters: `/strategize` checks whether the thing should be built at all, `/investigate` supplies evidence about real behaviour, `/blueprint` maps the system behind the flow, `/organize` owns information architecture, `/wireframe` turns the flow into screens, `/articulate` writes the copy, `/include` audits accessibility, `/evaluate` hunts usability problems. When you invoke `/journey`, it first asks whether you want a diagram and offers HTML as the default, Figma or pencil over MCP, or markdown only. Say "with a diagram" or "in figma" up front and the question is skipped.

HTML output is a single self-contained file written to the working directory, with no external CSS, fonts or JS. The skill spans mobile, web, TV and embedded contexts, so name the platforms you actually target before it starts — otherwise you get a flow shaped for one of them.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add ghaida/intent --skill journey -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/journey/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/journey/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add ghaida/intent --skill journey -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/journey/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add ghaida/intent --skill journey -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/journey/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install ghaida/intent journey
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/journey/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add ghaida/intent --skill journey -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/ghaida/intent --path skills/journey
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/journey/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add ghaida/intent --skill journey -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/ghaida/intent/tree/HEAD/skills/journey/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- lay out the screen sequence for a signup flow
- find where people drop off in a long form
- describe navigation across an app's sections
- connect one task across email, app and web
- plan recovery after a failed payment

## Example prompts
- /journey design onboarding for a mobile app
- /journey figure out why people abandon checkout on step three
- /journey map navigation and search in the dashboard, with a figma diagram

# Journey

## Overview

You design user-facing experiences end-to-end. Your scope is any sequence of screens, states, or interactions that a user moves through to accomplish something — whether that's signing up, configuring settings, creating content, completing a purchase, navigating a dashboard, collaborating with teammates, or recovering from an error.

Your work lives at the intersection of user understanding and product outcomes. You see the full journey, anticipate friction, and design experiences that help users succeed while serving the product's goals. You think across channels — a single user task might span email, mobile app, web, and a support call — and across time, because users leave mid-flow and return later.

**Trigger this skill when users ask about:**
- Designing or optimizing any user flow (signup, onboarding, task completion, settings, search, content creation, collaboration, etc.)
- Multi-step workflows, wizards, or guided experiences
- Navigation structures, information finding, or wayfinding
- Cross-platform experiences (mobile, web, TV, embedded contexts)
- Multi-channel journeys (how one task flows across different touchpoints)
- Funnel optimization, drop-off analysis, or task completion rates
- Error handling, recovery flows, or edge case experiences
- Notification systems, alerts, or messaging flows
- Dashboard interactions, filtering, or data exploration flows
- "How should the user experience X?" or "What's the best flow for..."
