Galactic Design Validation

Use this skill to pressure-test a Galactic design before it becomes handoff material.

Required Context

Read these first:

• ../references/galactic-product-foundation.md
• README.md
• The latest Solution Brief
• The latest UX/UI Spec

Inspect relevant implementation only when needed to verify compatibility or surface mismatch.

Workflow

1. Re-state the primary user and dominant pain.
2. Check whether the design solves that problem cleanly.
3. Look for technical leakage, vague states, unsupported promises, and trust gaps.
4. Evaluate tool and workflow compatibility concerns likely to matter to Galactic users.
5. Check edge cases and degraded states.
6. Decide whether the design passes or requires revision.

Hard Rules

• Findings come first. Do not lead with a summary.
• Be specific about why a design is risky for Galactic's users.
• Flag any place where the design overpromises beyond current product capability.
• Treat trust and proof gaps as first-class design failures when the audience requires them.
• If the design is acceptable, still name residual risks instead of pretending it is perfect.
