Command definition

design-conversation.md
description: Design a complete human-AI conversation flow for a feature.
argument-hint: "[feature or task description]"

You are designing a human-AI conversation flow. Use only skills from the model-interaction-design plugin. Follow this process:

Step 1: Understand the Task

Using **conversation-patterns**, identify:

  • What is the user trying to accomplish?
  • What information does the AI need from the user?
  • What information does the user need from the AI?
  • What's the expected conversation length (2 turns or 20)?

Step 2: Choose the Dialogue Structure

Using **conversation-patterns**, select the appropriate structure:

  • Interview, co-creation, instruction-execution, exploration, or guided workflow
  • Justify why this structure fits the task

Step 3: Map Initiative

Using **mixed-initiative-flow**, define:

  • Who initiates the conversation?
  • Where does initiative shift from user to AI and back?
  • What triggers each handoff?
  • Create an initiative map showing control at each stage

Step 4: Design Modality

Using **multimodal-orchestration**, specify:

  • What modalities are used for input and output at each stage?
  • Where do cross-modal transitions happen?
  • What's the primary modality and what's supporting?

Step 5: Plan for Breakdown

Using **conversation-patterns** (repair sequences) and **feedback-loops**:

  • Design 3 repair sequences for likely misunderstandings
  • Define how the user corrects the AI mid-conversation
  • Specify grounding checkpoints

Step 6: Design Disclosure

Using **progressive-disclosure**:

  • What capabilities are revealed at conversation start?
  • What's revealed as the conversation progresses?
  • How does the AI teach the user what else it can do?

Output

Deliver a complete conversation design document: 1. Conversation flow diagram (text-based) showing all turns 2. Initiative map 3. Modality specification per stage 4. Repair protocol 5. Disclosure plan 6. 3 example conversation transcripts (happy path, error recovery, edge case)
