Frontend Design

Build an interface with a point of view and a usable system, not a collection of default cards.

Before writing UI code

Inspect the existing product, design tokens, routes, components, assets, fonts, and responsive conventions. Preserve a real system unless a scoped redesign is intended.
Identify product type, user context, primary action, content hierarchy, brand constraints, supported viewport range, and available visual assets.
Extract the existing visual system before inventing one. Inspect CSS variables, theme configuration, type loading, spacing, radii, breakpoints, component variants, and recurring layout patterns. Use the dependency-free helper when the system is spread across source files:
```
python3 skills/frontend-design/scripts/extract_design_system.py ./src
```
Read design-system-extraction.md before replacing or normalizing an existing token system.
Choose a visual direction and record the reason: type pairing, color role, density, shape language, imagery, and motion voice. Use the local scripts/design_system.py helper for a deterministic starting brief when a project has no design system:
```
python3 skills/frontend-design/scripts/design_system.py \
  --product "analytics dashboard" --tone "technical" --stack react
```
Search the small bundled design-intelligence catalog when a choice needs comparison; read design-intelligence.md for the supported domains and limits. Do not treat a catalog result as a substitute for inspecting the existing product.
Define semantic tokens before scattering raw values through components.
Sketch the primary flow and all meaningful states: loading, empty, error, disabled, success, permission, and long-content cases.

Build the system

Use real content, realistic dimensions, and an intentional type scale.
Prefer composition and hierarchy over decorative gradients, excessive shadows, or nested card stacks.
Make controls semantic, keyboard reachable, focus-visible, and labeled.
Design mobile and intermediate widths as first-class states, not a desktop layout squeezed into a phone.
Make motion explain state or spatial continuity; provide reduced motion.
Use icons consistently and never substitute emoji for product controls.

Read design-system.md for direction, tokens, and anti-generic heuristics. Read interaction-states.md for state and accessibility detail. Read stack-adapters.md only for the detected implementation stack. Use browser-testing for a real browser flow and ui-ux-review for a separate quality pass.

Visual verification

Render the actual route at the narrow, intermediate, and desktop widths. Check hierarchy, overflow, focus, contrast, state transitions, content wrapping, and reduced-motion behavior. Exercise the primary task with keyboard-only input and run the project's accessibility tooling when available. Capture the state and viewport matrix from runtime-validation.md. Record screenshots or observations; source inspection alone cannot prove a visual claim.

Completion condition

The primary flow is usable, visual decisions are coherent and intentional, states and responsive behavior are covered, accessibility is not traded for appearance, and relevant rendered evidence is fresh.

# Frontend Design

Build an interface with a point of view and a usable system, not a collection
of default cards.

## Before writing UI code

1. Inspect the existing product, design tokens, routes, components, assets,
fonts, and responsive conventions. Preserve a real system unless a scoped
redesign is intended.
2. Identify product type, user context, primary action, content hierarchy,
brand constraints, supported viewport range, and available visual assets.
3. Extract the existing visual system before inventing one. Inspect CSS
variables, theme configuration, type loading, spacing, radii, breakpoints,
component variants, and recurring layout patterns. Use the dependency-free
helper when the system is spread across source files:

```bash
python3 skills/frontend-design/scripts/extract_design_system.py ./src
```

Read [design-system-extraction.md](references/design-system-extraction.md)
before replacing or normalizing an existing token system.
4. Choose a visual direction and record the reason: type pairing, color role,
density, shape language, imagery, and motion voice. Use the local
`scripts/design_system.py` helper for a deterministic starting brief when a
project has no design system:

```bash
python3 skills/frontend-design/scripts/design_system.py \
--product "analytics dashboard" --tone "technical" --stack react
```

Search the small bundled design-intelligence catalog when a choice needs
comparison; read [design-intelligence.md](references/design-intelligence.md)
for the supported domains and limits. Do not treat a catalog result as a
substitute for inspecting the existing product.

5. Define semantic tokens before scattering raw values through components.
6. Sketch the primary flow and all meaningful states: loading, empty, error,
disabled, success, permission, and long-content cases.

## Build the system

- Use real content, realistic dimensions, and an intentional type scale.
- Prefer composition and hierarchy over decorative gradients, excessive
shadows, or nested card stacks.
- Make controls semantic, keyboard reachable, focus-visible, and labeled.
- Design mobile and intermediate widths as first-class states, not a desktop
layout squeezed into a phone.
- Make motion explain state or spatial continuity; provide reduced motion.
- Use icons consistently and never substitute emoji for product controls.

Read [design-system.md](references/design-system.md) for direction, tokens,
and anti-generic heuristics. Read [interaction-states.md](references/interaction-states.md)
for state and accessibility detail. Read [stack-adapters.md](references/stack-adapters.md)
only for the detected implementation stack. Use `browser-testing` for a real
browser flow and `ui-ux-review` for a separate quality pass.

## Visual verification

Render the actual route at the narrow, intermediate, and desktop widths. Check
hierarchy, overflow, focus, contrast, state transitions, content wrapping, and
reduced-motion behavior. Exercise the primary task with keyboard-only input and
run the project's accessibility tooling when available. Capture the state and
viewport matrix from [runtime-validation.md](references/runtime-validation.md).
Record screenshots or observations; source inspection alone cannot prove a
visual claim.

## Completion condition

The primary flow is usable, visual decisions are coherent and intentional,
states and responsive behavior are covered, accessibility is not traded for
appearance, and relevant rendered evidence is fresh.

Review the source

Skill source recorded

Skill instructions are recorded. This is not a runtime test, safety guarantee or compatibility certification.

Review before install: Avoid automatic install

Listed tools are metadata hints, not tested compatibility. Agent prompts are suggested handoffs.

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.
