    Installation

    Inspect first. Install second.

    The source command is displayed only when detected. A safe inspection prompt is always available so your agent can explain every action before execution.

    Safe inspection promptEditorial

    Inspect the Agent Skill "direction-picker" from https://github.com/nexu-io/open-design/blob/edfa6b5f447e95cb120eae030f03baba00dc34de/plugins/_official/atoms/direction-picker/SKILL.md at commit edfa6b5f447e95cb120eae030f03baba00dc34de. List every install step, command, network request, credential, file read/write, external action, and rollback step. Explain whether it fits my task. Do not install or execute anything until I approve.

      Convergence

      When a picker was explicitly requested, the atom completes when the submitted form answer contains a direction id. The agent's next turn must lock onto that direction — backtracking forces a fresh devloop iteration of the picker stage.

    This is not proof of safety. Runtime behavior, indirect dependencies, and hidden external systems are outside the static scan.

    Direction picker

    Generative work benefits from explicit divergence before it converges. This atom defines how to present 3–5 distinct visual / structural / tonal directions when the user explicitly asks to see or compare direction options. Only in that case, emit one inline <question-form> with a direction-cards question. The submitted choice returns as the next user message.

    The presence of this atom or the plan stage does not trigger a picker. Do not emit direction cards proactively. When the user has not explicitly requested options, infer a fitting direction from the brief, active design system, and known context, then continue.

    Convergence

    When a picker was explicitly requested, the atom completes when the submitted form answer contains a direction id. The agent's next turn must lock onto that direction — backtracking forces a fresh devloop iteration of the picker stage.

    • More than 5 directions on one turn (decision fatigue).
    • Two directions that are minor variations of each other.
    • Locking the user into a single direction with cosmetic alternates (every direction must be a defensible standalone bet).
