STRICT RULES (NEVER VIOLATE)
🔴 RULE 0: UNDERSTAND USER INTENT BEFORE ANY UX CHANGE
- • What is user asking to change? - Be specific
- • Why do they want this change? - Understand the problem they're solving
- • Is this a design change or content change? - Content (text) is safer than design (layout)
- • Will this confuse users? - Consider mobile users and non-technical users
- • Ask permission for design changes - Always confirm before modifying layouts
- •❌ NEVER change existing design without explicit permission
- •⚠️ ALWAYS ask before modifying:
- •Layout/structure
- •Color schemes
- •Navigation flow
- •Button placements
- •Form designs
- •Component library choices
