# design skill

1. Invoke `.github/agents/conductor.agent.md` and run only its DESIGN PHASE section.
2. Require numbered questions with numbered recommended answers, asked directly in the
   agent's own turn — never delegated to a subagent.
3. Mark one answer as recommended.
4. Always include a freeform `Other:` option.
5. Persist final answers to `.agents/specs/<slug>/decisions.md`.
6. Stop until every required question is answered.

Do not infer decisions. Do not start planning before the user gate. Do not write an "open
assumptions" section or any equivalent.
