Workflow

工作流程

Step 1: Gather Product Idea (REQUIRED)

步骤1：收集产品想法（必填）

⚠️ DO NOT skip this step. Use interactive questioning — ask ONE question at a time.

⚠️ 请勿跳过此步骤。采用交互式提问——一次只问一个问题。

Question Flow

提问流程

⚠️ Use the
AskUserQuestion
tool for each question below. Do not just print questions in your response — use the tool to create interactive prompts with the options shown.

Q1: Problem

"I'll help you design this product! First — what problem does it solve?

(The core user need)"

Wait for response.

Q2: User

"Who is the target user?

(Who will use this product?)"

Wait for response.

Q3: Features

"Any must-have features or key requirements?

(Or say 'help me figure it out')"

Wait for response.

Q4: Constraints

"Any constraints to consider?

Budget range

Size/form factor

Materials

Manufacturing method

Or describe"

Wait for response.

Q5: Visuals

"Do you want me to generate visuals?

🎨 Concept renders (what it looks like)

🔧 Engineering drawings (exploded views, cross-sections)

Both

No visuals (spec document only)"

Wait for response.

⚠️ 每个问题都使用
AskUserQuestion
工具。不要直接在回复中打印问题——使用工具创建带有以下选项的交互式提示。

问题1：解决的问题

"我将帮你设计这款产品！首先——它解决什么问题？

（核心用户需求）"

等待回复。

问题2：目标用户

"目标用户是谁？

（谁会使用这款产品？）"

等待回复。

问题3：功能需求

"有哪些必备功能或关键需求？

（或者说'帮我梳理一下'）"

等待回复。

问题4：约束条件

"需要考虑哪些约束条件？

预算范围

尺寸/外形

材料

制造方式

或自行描述"

等待回复。

问题5：可视化需求

"你是否需要我生成可视化内容？

🎨 概念渲染图（产品外观）

🔧 工程图纸（爆炸视图、剖面图）

两者都要

不需要可视化（仅提供规格文档）"

等待回复。

Quick Reference

快速参考

Question	Determines
Problem	Core value proposition
User	User research focus
Features	Feature prioritization
Constraints	Manufacturing and design boundaries
Visuals	Whether to generate renders/drawings

Parse visual preferences:

"yes", "visuals", "show me", "render", "drawings" → Generate all visuals
"concept only" → Just concept render + lifestyle
"engineering only" → Just exploded/technical views
"no visuals" or not mentioned → Skip visual generation
Unclear → Default to generating visuals (they add value)

问题	决定内容
解决的问题	核心价值主张
目标用户	用户研究重点
功能需求	功能优先级
约束条件	制造与设计边界
可视化需求	是否生成渲染图/图纸

可视化偏好解析：

"yes"、"visuals"、"show me"、"render"、"drawings" → 生成所有可视化内容
"concept only" → 仅生成概念渲染图+场景图
"engineering only" → 仅生成爆炸/技术视图
"no visuals"或未提及 → 跳过可视化生成
表述模糊 → 默认生成可视化内容（能提升价值）

    "name": "Product Name",
    "tagline": "One-line description",
    "problem_solved": "Core problem it addresses",
    "target_user": "Who it's for",

    "1. Validate with potential users",
    "2. Create detailed CAD model",
    "3. Build first prototype",
    "4. Patent search (if applicable)"
  ]
}

Step 4: Generate Product Visuals (If Requested)

步骤4：生成产品可视化内容（如有需求）

Only generate visuals if user requested them in Step 1.

If user wants visuals, generate using the

image-generation

skill:

Visual Type	When to Generate
Concept Render	User said "yes", "visuals", "concept", or "both"
Lifestyle/Context	User said "yes", "visuals", "concept", or "both"
Exploded View	User said "engineering", "assembly", "exploded", or "both"
Cross-Section	User said "engineering" AND product has internal mechanism

From Industrial Designer:

```
product_concept.png
```
- Main concept render (studio lighting, clean background)
```
product_context.png
```
- Product in-use/lifestyle shot

From Mechanical Engineer:

```
product_exploded.png
```
- Exploded view showing all components
```
product_section.png
```
- Cross-section (if internal mechanism is key)

Visual Generation Order:

Concept render first (shows overall design)
In-context shot (shows usage)
Exploded view (shows engineering)
Cross-section (if needed)

If user didn't request visuals: Skip to Step 5 with spec document only.

仅当用户在步骤1中要求时才生成可视化内容。

如果用户需要可视化内容，使用

image-generation

Skill生成：

可视化类型	生成条件
Concept Render	用户选择"yes"、"visuals"、"concept"或"both"
Lifestyle/Context	用户选择"yes"、"visuals"、"concept"或"both"
Exploded View	用户选择"engineering"、"assembly"、"exploded"或"both"
Cross-Section	用户选择"engineering"且产品有内部结构

来自Industrial Designer的内容：

```
product_concept.png
```
- 主概念渲染图（工作室灯光，干净背景）
```
product_context.png
```
- 产品使用场景图

来自Mechanical Engineer的内容：

```
product_exploded.png
```
- 展示所有组件的爆炸视图
```
product_section.png
```
- 剖面图（如果内部结构是核心）

可视化生成顺序：

先生成概念渲染图（展示整体设计）
生成场景图（展示使用方式）
生成爆炸视图（展示工程结构）
生成剖面图（如有需要）

如果用户未要求可视化内容： 直接进入步骤5，仅提供规格文档。
