/gz-design¶
Collaborative design dialogue that produces GovZero ADR artifacts. Use when exploring a new feature, capability, or architectural change before implementation — replaces superpowers brainstorming for this project. Triggers on "design X", "let's design", "brainstorm X", "I want to build X", "gz-design".
Purpose¶
/gz-design exposes the canonical gz-design workflow for operator invocation. Collaborative design dialogue that exits into GovZero artifacts — not superpowers specs, not flat plans.
When to Use¶
Invoke this skill when the task described above matches your current workflow stage. The governance runbook at docs/governance/governance_runbook.md lists the canonical workflows and points at this skill where appropriate.

The skill reads its canonical execution contract from .gzkit/skills/gz-design/SKILL.md (mirrored into .claude/skills/, .agents/skills/, and .github/skills/). Follow the agent-facing instructions in that file for the exact execution protocol, stages, and evidence requirements.
