How can a team prevent repeating past design mistakes in user interface and user experience design?

A design bible documents critical user interface and user experience mistakes. It also records the rules created to fix these mistakes. This document helps prevent repeating past design errors.

The rule

A design bible documents critical user interface and user experience mistakes.

It also records the rules created to fix these mistakes. This document helps prevent repeating past design errors.

A team creates a 'design bible' or 'mistake log'. This document tracks serious user interface and user experience errors. It explains what went wrong. The document also lists new rules established to correct these problems. A team refers to this log often to avoid making the same mistakes again.

A developer and a designer created a complex navigation menu. Users found it very confusing. The team added this mistake to their design bible. They then created a new rule: 'Navigation menus must have no more than five main items.' This rule prevents future complex menus.

Questions people ask

More from the same record, pulled by shared topic — not written new for this page.

What files should an AI model read at the start of every session?

An AI model must always read a specific set of files. These files include 'mistakes_and_lessons.md'.

How should a developer handle API policies and intellectual property concerns when starting a new session?

A developer must read specific API policy files before writing any code that makes external API calls. This prevents common mistakes.

How can a developer prevent an AI model from truncating its output when creating large structured data?

A developer must estimate the token count of the AI model's output before making an API call. If the estimated output is more than 6000 tokens, the developer should split the request.

How can a developer ensure all file name references are updated after a rename, including those built dynamically?

A developer must look for direct text changes. A developer must also look for code that creates file names or paths from parts.
