## MANDATORY PREPARATION
|
||||
|
||||
Invoke /impeccable -- it contains design principles, anti-patterns, and the **Context Gathering Protocol**. Follow the protocol before proceeding -- if no design context exists yet, you MUST run /impeccable teach first.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
Build the ideal UX and UI for a feature. This skill is about getting the design RIGHT before writing code -- through structured discovery, not guesswork.
|
||||
|
||||
**Scope**: UX + UI design and implementation. Out of scope: building the underlying business logic, backend, or data layer. If the feature needs backend work, note what's needed but focus on the interface.
|
||||
|
||||
## Philosophy
|
||||
|
||||
Most AI-generated UIs fail not because of bad code, but because of skipped thinking. They jump to "here's a card grid" without asking "what is the user trying to accomplish?" This skill inverts that: understand deeply, then build precisely.
|
||||
|
||||
## Phase 1: Discovery Interview
|
||||
|
||||
**Do NOT write any code during this phase.** Your only job is to understand the feature deeply enough to make excellent design decisions.
|
||||
|
||||
Ask these questions in conversation, adapting based on answers. Don't dump them all at once -- have a natural dialogue. STOP and call the `question` tool to clarify.
|
||||
|
||||
### Purpose & Context
|
||||
- What is this feature for? What problem does it solve?
|
||||
- Who specifically will use it? (Not "users" -- be specific: role, context, frequency)
|
||||
- What does success look like? How will you know this feature is working?
|
||||
- What's the user's state of mind when they reach this feature? (Rushed? Exploring? Anxious? Focused?)
|
||||
|
||||
### Content & Data
|
||||
- What content or data does this feature display or collect?
|
||||
- What are the realistic ranges? (Minimum, typical, maximum -- e.g., 0 items, 5 items, 500 items)
|
||||
- What are the edge cases? (Empty state, error state, first-time use, power user)
|
||||
- Is any content dynamic? What changes and how often?
|
||||
|
||||
### Design Goals
|
||||
- What's the single most important thing a user should do or understand here?
|
||||
- What should this feel like? (Fast/efficient? Calm/trustworthy? Fun/playful? Premium/refined?)
|
||||
- Are there existing patterns in the product this should be consistent with?
|
||||
- Are there specific examples (inside or outside the product) that capture what you're going for?
|
||||
|
||||
### Constraints
|
||||
- Are there technical constraints? (Framework, performance budget, browser support)
|
||||
- Are there content constraints? (Localization, dynamic text length, user-generated content)
|
||||
- Mobile/responsive requirements?
|
||||
- Accessibility requirements beyond WCAG AA?
|
||||
|
||||
### Anti-Goals
|
||||
- What should this NOT be? What would be a wrong direction?
|
||||
- What's the biggest risk of getting this wrong?
|
||||
|
||||
## Phase 2: Design Synthesis
|
||||
|
||||
After the interview, synthesize your understanding before touching code. Present this back to the user for confirmation:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Feature brief** (2-3 sentences): What this is, who it's for, what it needs to accomplish
|
||||
2. **Primary user action**: The one thing that matters most
|
||||
3. **Design direction**: How this should feel, what aesthetic approach fits
|
||||
4. **Key states**: List every state the feature needs (default, empty, loading, error, success, edge cases)
|
||||
5. **Open questions**: Anything unresolved that might change the approach
|
||||
|
||||
STOP and call the `question` tool to clarify. -- get explicit confirmation before proceeding. If the user disagrees with your synthesis, revisit the relevant discovery questions.
|
||||
|
||||
## Phase 3: Implementation
|
||||
|
||||
Now build it. Use /impeccable as your design engine -- follow its principles, consult its references, avoid its anti-patterns.
|
||||
|
||||
### Implementation Order
|
||||
1. **Structure first**: HTML/semantic structure for the primary state. No styling yet.
|
||||
2. **Layout and spacing**: Establish the spatial rhythm and visual hierarchy.
|
||||
3. **Typography and color**: Apply the type scale and color system.
|
||||
4. **Interactive states**: Hover, focus, active, disabled.
|
||||
5. **Edge case states**: Empty, loading, error, overflow, first-run.
|
||||
6. **Motion**: Purposeful transitions and animations (if appropriate).
|
||||
7. **Responsive**: Adapt for different viewports -- don't just shrink, redesign for the context.
|
||||
|
||||
### During Implementation
|
||||
- Test with real (or realistic) data at every step, not placeholder text
|
||||
- Check each state as you build it, not all at the end
|
||||
- If you discover a design question during implementation, stop and ask rather than guessing
|
||||
- Every visual choice should trace back to something learned in discovery
|
||||
|
||||
## Phase 4: Validation
|
||||
|
||||
After implementation, run /validate on your work. Fix any P0 or P1 issues before presenting to the user.
|
||||
|
||||
Then present the result:
|
||||
- Show the feature in its primary state
|
||||
- Walk through the key states (empty, error, responsive)
|
||||
- Explain design decisions that connect back to what you learned in discovery
|
||||
- Ask for feedback: "What's working? What isn't?"
|
||||
|
||||
Iterate based on feedback. Good design is rarely right on the first pass.

||||
You SHOULD delegate each assessment to a separate sub-agent for independence.

If sub-agents are not available in the current environment, complete each assessment sequentially, writing findings to internal notes before proceeding.

# Craft Flow
|
||||
|
||||
Build a feature with impeccable UX and UI quality through a structured process: shape the design, load the right references, then build and iterate visually until the result is delightful.
|
||||
|
||||
## Step 1: Shape the Design
|
||||
|
||||
Run /shape, passing along whatever feature description the user provided.
|
||||
|
||||
Wait for the design brief to be fully confirmed before proceeding. The brief is your blueprint, and every implementation decision should trace back to it.
|
||||
|
||||
If the user has already run /shape and has a confirmed design brief, skip this step and use the existing brief.
|
||||
|
||||
## Step 2: Load References
|
||||
|
||||
Based on the design brief's "Recommended References" section, consult the relevant impeccable reference files. At minimum, always consult:
|
||||
|
||||
- [spatial-design.md](spatial-design.md) for layout and spacing
|
||||
- [typography.md](typography.md) for type hierarchy
|
||||
|
||||
Then add references based on the brief's needs:
|
||||
- Complex interactions or forms? Consult [interaction-design.md](interaction-design.md)
|
||||
- Animation or transitions? Consult [motion-design.md](motion-design.md)
|
||||
- Color-heavy or themed? Consult [color-and-contrast.md](color-and-contrast.md)
|
||||
- Responsive requirements? Consult [responsive-design.md](responsive-design.md)
|
||||
- Heavy on copy, labels, or errors? Consult [ux-writing.md](ux-writing.md)
|
||||
|
||||
## Step 3: Build
|
||||
|
||||
Implement the feature following the design brief. Work in this order:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Structure first**: HTML/semantic structure for the primary state. No styling yet.
|
||||
2. **Layout and spacing**: Establish the spatial rhythm and visual hierarchy.
|
||||
3. **Typography and color**: Apply the type scale and color system.
|
||||
4. **Interactive states**: Hover, focus, active, disabled.
|
||||
5. **Edge case states**: Empty, loading, error, overflow, first-run.
|
||||
6. **Motion**: Purposeful transitions and animations (if appropriate).
|
||||
7. **Responsive**: Adapt for different viewports. Don't just shrink; redesign for the context.
|
||||
|
||||
### During Build
|
||||
- Test with real (or realistic) data at every step, not placeholder text
|
||||
- Check each state as you build it, not all at the end
|
||||
- If you discover a design question, stop and ask rather than guessing
|
||||
- Every visual choice should trace back to something in the design brief
|
||||
|
||||
## Step 4: Visual Iteration
|
||||
|
||||
**This step is critical.** Do not stop after the first implementation pass.
|
||||
|
||||
Open the result in a browser window. If browser automation tools are available, use them to navigate to the page and visually inspect the result. If not, ask the user to open it and provide feedback.
|
||||
|
||||
Iterate through these checks visually:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Does it match the brief?** Compare the live result against every section of the design brief. Fix discrepancies.
|
||||
2. **Does it pass the AI slop test?** If someone saw this and said "AI made this," would they believe it immediately? If yes, it needs more design intention.
|
||||
3. **Run /validate.** Fix any P0 or P1 issues.
|
||||
4. **Check every state.** Navigate through empty, error, loading, and edge case states. Each one should feel intentional, not like an afterthought.
|
||||
5. **Check responsive.** Resize the viewport. Does it adapt well or just shrink?
|
||||
6. **Check the details.** Spacing consistency, type hierarchy clarity, color contrast, interactive feedback, motion timing.
|
||||
|
||||
After each round of fixes, visually verify again. **Repeat until you would be proud to show this to the user.** The bar is not "it works"; the bar is "this delights."
|
||||
|
||||
## Step 5: Present
|
||||
|
||||
Present the result to the user:
|
||||
- Show the feature in its primary state
|
||||
- Walk through the key states (empty, error, responsive)
|
||||
- Explain design decisions that connect back to the design brief
|
||||
- Ask: "What's working? What isn't?"
|
||||
|
||||
Iterate based on feedback. Good design is rarely right on the first pass.

|

Shape the UX and UI for a feature before any code is written. This skill produces a **design brief**: a structured artifact that guides implementation through discovery, not guesswork.
|
||||
|
||||
**Scope**: Design planning only. This skill does NOT write code. It produces the thinking that makes code good.
|
||||
|
||||
**Output**: A design brief that can be handed off to /impeccable craft, /impeccable, or any other implementation skill.
|
||||
|
||||
## Philosophy
|
||||
|
||||
Most AI-generated UIs fail not because of bad code, but because of skipped thinking. They jump to "here's a card grid" without asking "what is the user trying to accomplish?" This skill inverts that: understand deeply first, so implementation is precise.
|
||||
|
||||
## Phase 1: Discovery Interview
|
||||
|
||||
**Do NOT write any code or make any design decisions during this phase.** Your only job is to understand the feature deeply enough to make excellent design decisions later.
|
||||
|
||||
Ask these questions in conversation, adapting based on answers. Don't dump them all at once; have a natural dialogue. STOP and call the `question` tool to clarify.
|
||||
|
||||
### Purpose & Context
|
||||
- What is this feature for? What problem does it solve?
|
||||
- Who specifically will use it? (Not "users"; be specific: role, context, frequency)
|
||||
- What does success look like? How will you know this feature is working?
|
||||
- What's the user's state of mind when they reach this feature? (Rushed? Exploring? Anxious? Focused?)
|
||||
|
||||
### Content & Data
|
||||
- What content or data does this feature display or collect?
|
||||
- What are the realistic ranges? (Minimum, typical, maximum, e.g., 0 items, 5 items, 500 items)
|
||||
- What are the edge cases? (Empty state, error state, first-time use, power user)
|
||||
- Is any content dynamic? What changes and how often?
|
||||
|
||||
### Design Goals
|
||||
- What's the single most important thing a user should do or understand here?
|
||||
- What should this feel like? (Fast/efficient? Calm/trustworthy? Fun/playful? Premium/refined?)
|
||||
- Are there existing patterns in the product this should be consistent with?
|
||||
- Are there specific examples (inside or outside the product) that capture what you're going for?
|
||||
|
||||
### Constraints
|
||||
- Are there technical constraints? (Framework, performance budget, browser support)
|
||||
- Are there content constraints? (Localization, dynamic text length, user-generated content)
|
||||
- Mobile/responsive requirements?
|
||||
- Accessibility requirements beyond WCAG AA?
|
||||
|
||||
### Anti-Goals
|
||||
- What should this NOT be? What would be a wrong direction?
|
||||
- What's the biggest risk of getting this wrong?
|
||||
|
||||
## Phase 2: Design Brief
|
||||
|
||||
After the interview, synthesize everything into a structured design brief. Present it to the user for confirmation before considering this skill complete.
|
||||
|
||||
### Brief Structure
|
||||
|
||||
**1. Feature Summary** (2-3 sentences)
|
||||
What this is, who it's for, what it needs to accomplish.
|
||||
|
||||
**2. Primary User Action**
|
||||
The single most important thing a user should do or understand here.
|
||||
|
||||
**3. Design Direction**
|
||||
How this should feel. What aesthetic approach fits. Reference the project's design context from `.impeccable.md` and explain how this feature should express it.
|
||||
|
||||
**4. Layout Strategy**
|
||||
High-level spatial approach: what gets emphasis, what's secondary, how information flows. Describe the visual hierarchy and rhythm, not specific CSS.
|
||||
|
||||
**5. Key States**
|
||||
List every state the feature needs: default, empty, loading, error, success, edge cases. For each, note what the user needs to see and feel.
|
||||
|
||||
**6. Interaction Model**
|
||||
How users interact with this feature. What happens on click, hover, scroll? What feedback do they get? What's the flow from entry to completion?
|
||||
|
||||
**7. Content Requirements**
|
||||
What copy, labels, empty state messages, error messages, and microcopy are needed. Note any dynamic content and its realistic ranges.
|
||||
|
||||
**8. Recommended References**
|
||||
Based on the brief, list which impeccable reference files would be most valuable during implementation (e.g., spatial-design.md for complex layouts, motion-design.md for animated features, interaction-design.md for form-heavy features).
|
||||
|
||||
**9. Open Questions**
|
||||
Anything unresolved that the implementer should resolve during build.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
STOP and call the `question` tool to clarify. Get explicit confirmation of the brief before finishing. If the user disagrees with any part, revisit the relevant discovery questions.
|
||||
|
||||
Once confirmed, the brief is complete. The user can now hand it to /impeccable craft to build the feature, or use it to guide any other implementation approach.
