Exhaust the Design Space

When a novel interaction or architectural decision has no established precedent, explore several concrete alternatives before implementation. Building the wrong thing costs more than exploring three options.

The rule. When the right answer is not obvious, build 2-3 competing prototypes or sketches. Compare them side by side. Only then commit. Design it twice is this rule by another name. A second flavor of the first shape does not count.

When it applies:

  • Novel UI interactions (no prior art in the codebase)
  • Architectural choices with multiple viable approaches
  • Product design decisions where user experience depends on feel, not logic

When it doesn't:

  • Mechanical implementation where the pattern is established
  • Bug fixes or refactors with a clear target state
  • Changes where constraints dictate a single viable approach

Sketch types, signatures, and module structure before code, then stay in the loop while implementation fills in. Use for /architect, 'architect this', 'design this', or non-trivial work where jumping to code would lock in the wrong shape.

Spawn N parallel candidates at the same task, pick a base, graft the strongest parts of the losers into it. Use for /arena, 'arena this', 'throw it in the arena', or when one attempt at a non-trivial artifact would lock in the wrong shape.

在 rove 仓库内跑 auto-motion——把 transcription.srt 拆成多段 MG 动画镜头并拼接成竖屏视频(storyboard 分镜 + theme.md 全片主题 + 逐镜头 claude -p 子进程 + ffmpeg 拼接)。本 skill 是薄 wrapper:解析 auto-motion 模板根,继承 rove 品牌 theme,执行逻辑以 auto-motion 仓库的 canonical SKILL.md 为准。当用户说"跑 auto-motion"、"把这个字幕稿/口播稿做成视频"、"给 rove 做一条 MG 宣传片"时使用。

Find what a change could break somewhere else before it ships, beyond the diff, and prove the one fact it's safe because of by running real code instead of writing it up. Use for 'blast radius of X', 'what could this break', or reviewing a small diff you don't trust.

Draft Rove release notes as Changesets. Writes user-facing entries as `.changeset/*.md` files for `@sma1lboy/rove` (consumed into `packages/rove/CHANGELOG.md` at release time). Use when the user asks for "changelog", "release notes", "what changed", "add a changeset", or before cutting a version. Enforces Rove's no-soft-wrap rule so GitHub release pages render flowing text.

Design an auditable playbook when no narrower one fits: a large migration, an ambitious multi-part change, or work a human reviews after stepping away. Scales rigor to the task, runs a hypothesis loop, and logs decisions via show-me-your-work. Use for /figure-it-out, 'figure it out', a large migration, or when no narrower playbook applies.
