Goal: Understand the existing product, identify what needs improving, and prioritize targets.

INITIALIZATION

Design Log

Read {output_folder}/_progress/00-design-log.md. Check Current and Backlog for context.

Steps

Step 1: Load Product Context

Gather existing product information:

1. Read project configuration and any existing WDS artifacts
2. If the product has a live URL → analyze current state (structure, pages, flows)
3. If codebase available → scan for tech stack, component patterns, design tokens
4. Document what exists: pages, navigation, key user flows

Present a Product Snapshot — current state summary.

Step 2: Identify Improvement Targets

With the user, identify what needs work:

1. User feedback — What are users struggling with?
2. Business goals — What metrics need improvement?
3. Technical debt — What's fragile or outdated?
4. Visual gaps — What looks inconsistent or dated?
5. Competitor gaps — What are competitors doing better?

Create a prioritized list of improvement targets.

Step 3: Select Target

From the prioritized list, pick ONE target for this improvement cycle:

Improvement targets (prioritized):
1. [Target] — [Impact] — [Effort]
2. [Target] — [Impact] — [Effort]
...

Which target should we tackle first?

Step 4: Document Analysis

Save analysis to {output_folder}/evolution/analysis/:

• Product snapshot
• Improvement targets with priorities
• Selected target with rationale
