Design a MotherDuck Dive
Use this skill for the visual system and interaction design of a Dive. Pair it with motherduck-create-dive for current React and useSQLQuery mechanics, and with motherduck-build-dashboard when the task also includes defining the analytical story and SQL.
Design Defaults
For a new Dive or a full redesign, use these defaults unless the user's design requirements differ. For a scoped edit, preserve the existing visual system and check affected states.
- start at a 320 px viewport and enhance upward
- use fluid containers and responsive grids instead of fixed desktop widths
- expose a light/dark theme control with token-based chart and UI colors, using the system preference as the initial default when practical
- reserve a predictable filter surface: visible on wide screens and a drawer or sheet on narrow screens
- keep charts inside bounded, responsive containers with readable labels at every breakpoint
- use a restrained business-analytics visual language: neutral surfaces, compact hierarchy, visible axes, quiet borders, and limited decoration
- make each KPI component useful on its own with value, label, comparison context, and a small trend or progress visual when the data supports it
- keep customer variation in data, labels, logo, and theme tokens rather than changing the information architecture
- support keyboard use, visible focus, 44 px touch targets, sufficient contrast, and non-color status cues
Avoid ornamental gradients, glass effects, glowing accents, oversized hero metrics, decorative bento layouts, excessive pills, floating shapes, and prose that sounds like a marketing landing page.
Workflow
- Inspect the existing Dive, supplied design paper, screenshots, and live schema before proposing a layout.
- If MotherDuck MCP is available, call
get_dive_guidebefore writing Dive code and again before any save or update if the guide may have changed. Apply relevant conventions surfaced from the reserveddivesGuide topic unless the user asks for a different direction. Use this skill for the responsive shell when generic styling examples conflict with the user's explicit design requirements. - Define the audience, primary decision, metric hierarchy, filter dimensions, and reuse boundary.
- Sketch the 320 px composition first: header, filter trigger, compact one- or two-column KPI group, primary chart, supporting sections, and detail view.
- Expand that composition into tablet and desktop grids without changing reading order.
- Implement semantic design tokens, theme switching, reusable cards, responsive chart wrappers, and filter state.
- Validate query correctness separately, then preview the complete Dive with loading, empty, error, long-label, and dense-data states.
- Inspect the rendered result at affected viewports and themes. Use the full visual QA reference for a new design, broad redesign, or requested evidence handoff; a label or SQL edit does not require a new design report.
For answer, review, or planning requests, return the requested design artifact without changing a Dive. For build or redesign requests, implement and preview the in-scope Dive; save or update it only when the request includes that operation.
Deliverable
Return the implemented change or requested design, the checks performed, and any concrete limitation. For a full design handoff, include the hierarchy, filter behavior, responsive rules, theme tokens, component boundaries, and evidence described in the visual QA reference.
Do not call a design mobile-friendly based only on responsive CSS. Report the viewports and states actually checked.
References

Start with one small task
- 1Read the source. Confirm the input, expected output, dependencies and permissions.
- 2Ask your agent for a plan. Approve setup and any costs before running a small isolated test.
- 3Check the output and changed files. Report only what actually ran; keep the source revision for reproduction.
Check the source for dependencies, API keys and third-party costs. A public repository does not mean every service is free.
