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?
