Activity Feed: AI Skill for UX Design
Activity Feed is an AI skill that designs feeds where what matters stands out and noise fades. It gates the chronological vs. ranked choice deliberately and never lets a new user see a blank feed.

What this skill does
Helps an AI assistant design feeds that surface what matters and let the noise fade.
- Establishes the feed type first: chronological for timelines, ranked when relevance beats recency.
- Curates each entry down to what a user needs to decide and move on.
- Keeps feed text large, clear, and high-contrast for fast scanning.
- Abbreviates timestamps so they read as a rough signal, not an exact clock.
- Seeds new and quiet accounts so nobody meets a blank feed.
- Groups similar notifications once volume would bombard users one by one.
- Trims per-entry controls to the ones the feed's purpose needs.
- Shows a loading indicator on refresh instead of a frozen screen.
When to use it
Use it when you need an AI assistant to:
- design an activity feed, news feed, or timeline;
- choose between a chronological and a ranked feed;
- reduce noise in overcrowded feed entries;
- decide when to group similar notifications;
- plan what new users see before they have activity;
- add sponsored entries without hiding that they are ads;
- review an existing feed for scannability.
Decisions this skill helps you make
| Decision | Options |
|---|---|
| Feed type | Chronological for timelines and logs, ranked when relevance matters more than recency |
| Notification grouping | Aggregate similar alerts at high volume, keep single alerts when each event matters |
| Follow recommendations | Offer suggestions in social products, mix in diverse content to avoid filter bubbles |
| Per-entry controls | Like, comment, and share for social feeds; a single view action or none for updates |
| Sponsored entries | Clearly labeled promoted items on ranked feeds only, never disguised as organic activity |
How the skill works
1
Set the feed type
The skill establishes chronological vs. ranked and what the feed is for before designing.
2
Apply the core
It curates each entry, keeps text legible, downplays timestamps, and never shows an empty feed.
3
Surface trade-offs
It presents choices like notification grouping and per-entry controls with trade-offs for your context.
