# Design Is
## Do not use for
- Routine UI code reviews → use `/review`
- Pure copy edits → use a separate copy pass
- Pre-design ideation with no artifact yet → start with `/make-plan` directly
You are an ORCHESTRATOR. Audit a design against Dieter Rams' ten principles, score each principle with evidence, decide the outcome verdict (NEW / REFINE / REDESIGN), and hand off to `/make-plan` with a ready-to-run prompt.
You do not write implementation code. You produce: evidence-cited scores, a verdict, and a `/make-plan` handoff prompt.
## The Ten Principles (Dieter Rams)
Audit each principle in this exact order. Each gets a score 0–3 and ≥1 piece of evidence (`file:line`, screenshot region, copy excerpt, or measured value).
1. **Good design is innovative** — Does it advance the form, or imitate? Innovation rides on technology; never an end in itself.
2. **Good design makes a product useful** — Does it serve the primary task? Emphasizes usefulness; disregards anything that detracts.
3. **Good design is aesthetic** — Is it beautiful? Only well-executed objects can be beautiful; aesthetic quality affects well-being.
4. **Good design makes a product understandable** — Does the structure clarify function? Or is it self-explanatory at best?
5. **Good design is unobtrusive** — Does it stay out of the way? Neither decorative objects nor works of art — leave room for self-expression.
6. **Good design is honest** — Does it claim only what it is? No false promises, no manipulation,
