Enough of the trade's words and habits to brief, question and follow the people and AI agents who build a website. This skill trains you to write a brief that gets the right site built, to say precisely what's wrong with a design, to follow work as it changes, and to direct an AI agent without taking its word for it.

  1. The briefA brief says who the site is for, what they must be able to do, what content exists, what the limits are and how you'll know it's done, so whoever builds it can make the right choices without you.
  2. Words for a designNaming what you see (hierarchy, layout, type, spacing, colour, components and their states) lets you say what's wrong with a design and why, and get it fixed instead of "make it pop".

  4. Working with an agentAn AI agent works from what it's given and says "done" too easily, so you give it context and a plan to approve, keep each step small and saved, read what changed and ask for proof.
