Systems thinking (spine)

| Problem signal | Skill | |----------------|-------| | Entities, relationships, purpose | [system-structure](../lamina-system-structure/SKILL.md) | | Feedback, delays, oscillation | [feedback-loops](../lamina-feedback-loops/SKILL.md) | | Fixes keep failing, structural traps | [system-traps](../lamina-system-traps/SKILL.md) | | Where to intervene (rules vs UI) | [leverage-points](../lamina-leverage-points/SKILL.md) | | Impossible states, business rules | [invariants](../lamina-invariants/SKILL.md) | | Feature reachability, unmet prerequisites, degraded modes | [dependencies](../lamina-dependencies/SKILL.md) — first-class | | Domain boundaries, hide complexity | [modularity-boundaries](../lamina-modularity-boundaries/SKILL.md) | | What users see when (stale data) | [consistency-guarantees](../lamina-consistency-guarantees/SKILL.md) | | Double-submit, concurrent edits | [idempotency-concurrency](../lamina-idempotency-concurrency/SKILL.md) | | Name trade-offs before mechanisms | [tradeoffs](../lamina-tradeoffs/SKILL.md) | | Multi-actor views stay consistent | [multi-view-integrity](../lamina-multi-view-integrity/SKILL.md) | | Evolving rules safely | [evolutionary-rules](../lamina-evolutionary-rules/SKILL.md) | | Notifications, downstream updates | [side-effects](../lamina-side-effects/SKILL.md) | | Dates, deadlines, expiry, recurrence, timezones | [time-semantics](../lamina-time-semantics/SKILL.md) |

UX and product expression

| Problem signal | Skill | |----------------|-------| | Bootstrap context | [business-context](../lamina-business-context/SKILL.md) | | Inclusive design | [accessibility](../lamina-accessibility/SKILL.md) | | Copy, labels, errors | [content-design](../lamina-content-design/SKILL.md) | | Prioritize, resolve conflicts | [decision-making](../lamina-decision-making/SKILL.md) | | Affordances, signifiers | [discoverability](../lamina-discoverability/SKILL.md) | | Domain-empty screens | [empty-states](../lamina-empty-states/SKILL.md) | | Violation recovery UX | [error-handling](../lamina-error-handling/SKILL.md) | | Permission/conflict scenarios | [edge-cases](../lamina-edge-cases/SKILL.md) | | Unreachable or silently broken prerequisites | [dependencies](../lamina-dependencies/SKILL.md) | | Async feedback, status | [feedback-and-status](../lamina-feedback-and-status/SKILL.md) | | User journeys over state | [flow-design](../lamina-flow-design/SKILL.md) | | Forms under rules | [forms](../lamina-forms/SKILL.md) | | Local date/time input | [time-semantics](../lamina-time-semantics/SKILL.md) | | Entity organization | [information-architecture](../lamina-information-architecture/SKILL.md) | | Wayfinding | [navigation](../lamina-navigation/SKILL.md) | | First-run paths | [onboarding](../lamina-onboarding/SKILL.md) | | UI reflects domain truth | [product-behavior](../lamina-product-behavior/SKILL.md) | | Operations actors perform | [task-analysis](../lamina-task-analysis/SKILL.md) | | Actors, roles, permissions | [user-modeling](../lamina-user-modeling/SKILL.md) |

Agent simulation (replaces human research)

Human labs, interviews, and workshop ceremony are reframed as contract + live-product simulation.

| Problem signal | Skill | |----------------|-------| | Design→build→verify loop | [design-process](../lamina-design-process/SKILL.md) | | Scope the design target | [problem-framing](../lamina-problem-framing/SKILL.md) | | Map ask → workflows | [feature-discovery](../lamina-feature-discovery/SKILL.md) | | What evidence vs assumption | [research-scoping](../lamina-research-scoping/SKILL.md) | | Plan verify actor walks | [research-planning](../lamina-research-planning/SKILL.md) | | Merge walk results | [research-synthesis](../lamina-research-synthesis/SKILL.md) | | Report verify findings | [research-communication](../lamina-research-communication/SKILL.md) | | Actor-walk scripts | [interview-design](../lamina-interview-design/SKILL.md) | | Walkthrough evidence | [interview-documentation](../lamina-interview-documentation/SKILL.md) | | Repo + live UI grounding | [field-research](../lamina-field-research/SKILL.md) | | Simulated usability (verify) | [usability-evaluation](../lamina-usability-evaluation/SKILL.md) | | Real metrics only | [quantitative-validation](../lamina-quantitative-validation/SKILL.md) | | Conflicting actor goals | [stakeholder-alignment](../lamina-stakeholder-alignment/SKILL.md) | | User-cited references | [competitive-analysis](../lamina-competitive-analysis/SKILL.md) | | Workflow priority | [feature-prioritization](../lamina-feature-prioritization/SKILL.md) | | Group permissions / shared state | [persuasion-and-groups](../lamina-persuasion-and-groups/SKILL.md) | | Parallel expert lenses | [heuristic-review](../lamina-heuristic-review/SKILL.md) | | Complexity budget / disclosure | [platform-posture](../lamina-platform-posture/SKILL.md), [progressive-disclosure](../lamina-progressive-disclosure/SKILL.md) | | Payment / sensitive action honesty | [trust](../lamina-trust/SKILL.md) | | Testable acceptance criteria | [requirements-definition](../lamina-requirements-definition/SKILL.md) |
