Generate Philosophy Document

Create comprehensive, research-backed philosophy and standards documents for any domain.

What This Skill Does

This skill generates high-quality philosophy documents similar to ux-onboarding-philosophy.md for any domain:

• UX & Design: Interface design, mobile UX, accessibility standards
• Marketing: Landing pages, email outbound, conversion optimization
• Technical: API design, architecture patterns, code standards
• Business: Sales processes, customer success, operations

Each document includes:

1. Foundational principles (research-backed)
2. Frameworks and methodologies
3. Anti-patterns dictionary
4. Design checklists
5. Case studies with metrics
6. Measurement frameworks
7. Academic and industry references

Workflow

Step 1: Define the Domain

Ask the user to specify:

1. Domain name: "What domain do you want to document?"

- Examples: "Landing Page Design", "API Design Standards", "Email Outbound Best Practices"

1. Target audience: "Who will use this document?"

- Examples: "UX designers", "Backend developers", "Marketing team"

1. Focus areas (optional): "Any specific areas to emphasize?"

- Examples: "Conversion optimization", "Performance", "Accessibility"

Clarify scope: Ensure domain is specific enough to be actionable but broad enough to be useful.

Step 2: Conduct Research

Use the WebSearch tool or Perplexity API to gather comprehensive research:

Research Strategy:

1. Foundational Research (principles and theory):

- Search: "[domain] fundamental principles" - Search: "[domain] research studies" - Search: "[domain] psychology" or "[domain] user behavior"

1. Framework Research (methodologies):

- Search: "[domain] frameworks" - Search: "[domain] best practices methodology" - Search: "[domain] process workflow"

1. Anti-Pattern Research (common mistakes):

- Search: "[domain] common mistakes" - Search: "[domain] anti-patterns" - Search: "worst [domain] practices"

1. Metrics Research (measurement):

- Search: "[domain] KPIs metrics" - Search: "[domain] benchmarking" - Search: "[domain] success metrics"

1. Case Study Research (real examples):

- Search: "[domain] case studies" - Search: "[domain] before after" - Search: "[domain] success stories"

1. Academic Research (credible sources):

- Search: "[domain] academic research" - Search: "[domain] peer reviewed studies"

Execute 10-15 targeted searches covering all research areas. Synthesize findings into structured notes organized by section.

Optional: Use scripts/research_topic.py to generate search queries:

python scripts/research_topic.py "Landing Page Design" "principles,frameworks,anti-patterns,metrics"

Step 3: Generate Document Structure

Use the bundled template to create the document structure:

Option A: Manual Creation

Copy assets/philosophy-template.md and fill in sections with research findings.

Option B: Script-Assisted

python scripts/generate_structure.py "Landing Page Design" > output.md

Then fill in placeholders with researched content.

Step 4: Fill in Sections

Work through each section systematically. See references/document-template.md for detailed guidance on each section.

4.1 Executive Summary

• Core philosophy: Distill into 1 sentence
• The problem: What challenge does this solve?
• The solution: What approach does this recommend?
• Proof: Cite key research or metrics

Length: 100-200 words

4.2 Foundational Principles

Create 5-8 principles. Each principle needs:

1. Name: Concise and memorable (e.g., "Mobile-First Design")
2. Definition: Clear 1-sentence explanation
3. Why This Works: Research-backed rationale
4. Application: Wrong vs. Right examples (concrete)
5. Test: How to verify adherence

Format Pattern:

### Principle 1: [Name]

**Definition**: [One sentence]

**Why This Works**: [Research explanation with citation]

**Application**:
- WRONG: [Concrete bad example]
- RIGHT: [Concrete good example]

**Test**: [Verification method]

Quality Check:

• Tests must be practical

Length: 400-800 words total (80-160 per principle)

4.3 Framework & Methodology

Create a named framework (e.g., "LIFT Framework", "AIDA Model"):

1. Framework name: Memorable and descriptive
2. Visual diagram: ASCII art or description
3. 3-5 phases: Sequential steps
4. Each phase includes:

- Purpose statement - Key activities (3-5 items) - Quality checklist (3-5 checkboxes) - Time budget (percentage)

Example Structure:

### The CLEAR Framework

[ASCII diagram showing 5 phases]

#### Phase 1: Capture Attention

**Purpose**: Hook user in first 3 seconds

**Key Activities**:
- Design hero section with compelling headline
- Use high-contrast CTA button
- Optimize above-fold content

**Quality Checklist**:
- [ ] Headline clearly states value proposition
- [ ] CTA visible without scrolling
- [ ] Hero image supports message

**Time Budget**: 20% of design process

Length: 400-600 words

4.4 Anti-Patterns Dictionary

Document 5-10 common mistakes:

1. Name: Memorable (e.g., "The Wall of Text")
2. Symptom: How to recognize
3. Example: Concrete wrong example
4. Why It Fails: Explanation with data
5. Fix: How to correct
6. Metrics: Impact data (if available)

Format:

### Anti-Pattern 1: "The Wall of Text"

**Symptom**: Landing page with 500+ words above fold, no visual breaks

**Example**:
WRONG:
[Paste or describe actual bad example]

**Why It Fails**: Users scan, don't read. Average time on page: 8 seconds.
Wall of text = 90% bounce rate (Source: Nielsen Norman Group)

**Fix**: Break into scannable sections with headers, bullets, and whitespace

**Metrics**: Before: 90% bounce | After: 45% bounce (50% improvement)

Length: 400-600 words total (60-80 per anti-pattern)

4.5 Design Checklists

Create 3 checklists:

Tips for Success

Research Quality

Do:

• Search multiple sources (10-15 queries minimum)
• Prioritize authoritative sources (academic, industry leaders)
• Look for quantified data and metrics
• Find real case studies with numbers
• Cross-reference claims across sources

Don't:

• Rely on single source
• Accept claims without evidence
• Use outdated research (>10 years old) without noting
• Include speculation without labeling it
• Cite non-authoritative sources

Writing Quality

Do:

• Use concrete examples (not abstract)
• Quantify whenever possible (X% improvement)
• Write in clear, professional tone
• Format for scannability (headers, lists, emphasis)
• Connect principles to research

Don't:

• Use jargon without definition
• Write long paragraphs (>4-5 lines)
• Make unsupported claims
• Use vague language ("might", "could", "maybe")
• Copy-paste without synthesis

Common Pitfalls

1. Too Broad: Domain too general to be actionable

- Fix: Narrow scope to specific subdomain

1. Too Shallow: Research insufficient for depth

- Fix: Conduct more targeted searches, find academic sources

1. No Metrics: Principles lack quantified support

- Fix: Search for benchmarking data, case study metrics

1. Abstract Examples: Examples too generic to be useful

- Fix: Use real scenarios, specific companies/products

1. Incomplete Sections: Missing key components

- Fix: Use quality checklist, ensure all sections complete
