10 skills.
Use when asked to design a UX that predicts and fulfills user needs before they're explicitly expressed — context awareness, predictive analytics, automation, intelligent assistants, adaptive interfaces — as an approach that reduces user decision-making, distinct from user-centred-design's broader discipline.
Use when asked to write persuasive, promotional content — understanding the audience, compelling hooks, the unique selling proposition, persuasive tone, calls to action — as distinct from microcopy's shorter, functional-interface-text focus.
Use when asked about Figma the design tool — frames, components/variants, auto layout, design tokens/styles, or Dev Mode handoff to code — as opposed to Figma Make (see figma-make), a separate AI prototyping product.
Use when asked what Figma Make is — an AI-powered tool inside Figma for generating interactive prototypes and web apps from natural-language prompts. As opposed to Figma the design tool itself (see figma). Verify current capabilities/availability at figma.com/make before repeating specifics from this file — captured 2026-09-05, and this is a fast-moving product area.
Use when asked about the design and use of icons — visual communication, consistency/standards, UX benefits, space optimization, branding, cultural adaptation — as a complementary visual-communication discipline to typography.
Use when asked to write small, functional interface text — labels, instructions, error messages, tooltips, button text — clarity, contextual relevance, user-focused language, tone/voice, error handling — as distinct from copywriting's longer, persuasion-focused content.
Use when asked to design or build starting from the smallest screen and scaling up — content/feature prioritization, responsive design, progressive enhancement, mobile-first SEO/indexing — as a design philosophy distinct from responsive design alone.
Use when asked to plan or document a website's page hierarchy and navigation structure — sections, links, page hierarchy — for both user navigation/design purposes and machine-readable SEO sitemaps.
Use when asked about typeface selection and text styling for readability and visual design — typefaces, readability factors, emotional impact, hierarchy, alignment, consistency — for graphic design, web design, and branding.
Use when asked to apply user-centred design (UCD/UX) methodology — user research methods, personas, journey mapping, usability testing, or the iterative design/test/refine cycle — independent of any specific design tool.
