Explore UI Design
Explore visual design options including layout, color, typography, and component composition.
When to Use
- •Exploring layout options for a new feature
- •Considering color palettes or theming
- •Evaluating typography choices
- •Exploring component visual treatments
Approach
Phase 1: Design Context
Clarify:
- •What is the design system context? (Reference SPEC-CSS.md)
- •What existing patterns should we align with?
- •What mood/tone are we aiming for?
Phase 2: Visual Options
Generate 3-4 distinct visual approaches varying:
- •Layout structure (grid, flex, composition)
- •Visual hierarchy (size, weight, spacing)
- •Color usage (accent, background, contrast)
- •Component styling (borders, shadows, rounded corners)
Use ASCII wireframes with var(--token-name) syntax.
Phase 3: Recommendation
Recommend with:
- •Visual rationale
- •Token usage
- •Alignment with design system
Constraints
- •Use existing design tokens only — flag as "Hallucination" if token doesn't exist
- •No code generation
- •No interaction design — that's
