Help designers articulate the cognitive science, behavioral psychology, and platform standards behind their design decisions. Use this skill when a designer needs to explain why they made a decision in a critique, design review, or stakeholder meeting. Also use when auditing a screen for principle alignment, preparing for pushback, or evaluating whether a decision is truly irreversible. Trigger on phrases like: "how do I explain this decision", "what principle applies here", "help me defend this", "how would I articulate why I did this", "can you audit this screen", "what's the rationale for", or any request that involves justifying a design choice with evidence beyond personal preference.
