Steve Jobs Design Thinking Audit

When the user mentions simplification, design reviews, UX concerns, or feature complexity, guide them through Jobs' 13 design questions.

Auto-Trigger Patterns

  • User says something is "too complex" or "confusing"
  • Request to "simplify" or "streamline" something
  • Discussion about "user experience" or "UX"
  • Mentions of "feature bloat" or "too many features"
  • Questions like "should we remove this?"
  • Product or design reviews
  • New feature evaluation

What This Skill Does

Applies Steve Jobs' design philosophy through 13 mandatory questions:

  1. Simplification - What can be removed?
  2. Zero-Based Thinking - What if we started fresh?
  3. Core Function - What's the ONE critical thing?
  4. Beginner's Mind - What confuses newcomers?
  5. Elegance - Where does form meet function?
  6. Complexity Audit - What exists because we CAN, not SHOULD?
  7. Magic Experience - What would "just works" look like?
  8. Insanely Great - What would make users say "wow"?
  9. Restraint Check - What should be cut?
  10. Accessible Simplicity - What metaphor makes this intuitive?
  11. Personal Use Case - What would YOU want?
  12. Quality Blind Spots - Where did "good enough" sneak in?
  13. Inevitable Flow - How to make it feel natural?
