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.
