mohitagw15856 036511ab3e Windsurf + Aider targets, MCP server, and demo placement (#33)
Broadens both reach (more tools) and content types (an MCP server), continuing
the multi-platform story.

Windsurf + Aider:
- build-exports.mjs gains two platforms: exports/windsurf/*.md (workspace rules,
  trigger: model_decision) and exports/aider/*.md (conventions for `aider --read`).
  Now 5 platforms (ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor, Windsurf, Aider).
- install.sh + bin/cli.mjs install both (windsurf -> .windsurf/rules, aider ->
  .aider/skills with a --read hint); generated README index is excluded from copies.
- One-line windsurf-install.sh / aider-install.sh wrappers for parity.

MCP server (new content type):
- mcp/server.mjs — zero-dependency stdio MCP server exposing list_skills,
  search_skills, get_skill. Published as a second bin (pm-claude-skills-mcp).
  Logs to stderr; reads bundled skills/ at startup. mcp/README.md documents
  client config.

Also: README hero "See it in action" demo placement (ready to swap in a GIF;
recording guide in web/docs-assets/README.md), Works-With table + exports +
install docs updated, CHANGELOG Unreleased. package.json files/bin updated.

description: "Plan user flows and screen states for a Figma design before any designing starts. Use when asked to plan a user flow, map out screens for a feature, define screen states, plan a Figma file structure, or work out what needs to be designed before opening Figma. Produces a complete flow map with all screens, states, entry/exit points, and a suggested Figma page structure."

# Figma User Flow Planner Skill
Plans what needs to be designed before a pixel is touched — mapping all screens, states, entry points, and edge cases so designers do not discover missing states mid-build.
## Required Inputs
- **Feature or task being designed**
- **User type** (who performs this flow?)
- **Platform** (iOS / Android / Web / Multi-platform)
- **Starting point** (where does the user begin?)
- **Known edge cases** (optional)
## Output Structure
### 1. Flow Overview
Feature, user, goal, entry points, success exit, failure exits.
### 2. Screen Map
| # | Screen name | Type | Triggered by | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | [Screen] | New/Modal/Drawer/Toast | [What triggers] | [Considerations] |
Screen types to cover: entry, happy path, loading, success, error (network/validation/permission), empty, first-time/onboarding, edge cases.
### 3. State Matrix
**[Screen name]**
| State | Trigger | Visual change | Action available |
|---|---|---|---|
| Default | Page load | [Description] | [What user can do] |
| Loading | User taps action | Skeleton/spinner | None |
| Error | API failure | Error message | Retry/Go back |
| Empty | No data | Empty state | [CTA] |
### 4. Decision Points
**Decision: [Name]**
- If yes: [Screen N]
- If no: [Screen X]
### 5. Suggested Figma File Structure
```
Feature name/
- Cover
- Flow Map
- Happy Path
- Error States
- Empty States
- Edge Cases
- Handoff
```
### 6. What Not to Design Yet
[Explicit out-of-scope items — prevents scope creep]
## Quality Checks
- [ ] All three state types covered: loading, error, empty
- [ ] All decision points mapped with both branches
- [ ] Entry points include all realistic user paths
- [ ] Out-of-scope section is explicit
- [ ] Figma file structure matches screen map
## Anti-Patterns
- [ ] Do not plan only the happy path — all error states, empty states, and edge cases must be mapped before designing starts
- [ ] Do not produce a flow map that doesn't match the Figma file structure — the page structure must reflect the flow map
- [ ] Do not define screens without specifying all required states — a screen without its variants is an incomplete design scope
- [ ] Do not start designing before entry and exit points are fully documented — unclear boundaries cause scope creep
- [ ] Do not plan user flows without tying each step back to a user goal — every screen must justify its existence
## Example Trigger Phrases
- "Plan the user flow for [feature] in Figma"
- "What screens do I need to design for [feature]?"
- "Map out the states for [feature] before we start designing"
- "Help me structure my Figma file for [feature]"
- "What do we need to design before handing this to the developer?"
