What I do
- •Route Ratatui design work through
@tui_designerwith a repeatable critique-to-build loop. - •Require
@explorecontext gathering before major design decisions. - •Encourage parallel component implementation, then parent-agent integration and final design QA.
- •Enforce a parent-orchestrated loop where the first design pass returns critique notes and a desired TODO backlog.
When to use me
Use this skill when the user asks for TUI redesign, visual polish, UX critique, componentization, or Ratatui layout/widget improvements.
Required workflow
- •Invoke one broad
@tui_designerfirst pass to produce:- •prioritized critique notes
- •desired TODO backlog broken into small tasks
- •Parent agent converts that backlog into scoped work items and ownership.
- •Parent agent runs
@explorecontext gathering for target files before implementation handoffs. - •Spawn multiple focused
@tui_designertasks in parallel when independent (one component or concern per task). - •Parent agent integrates all subtask outputs, resolves overlap, and validates behavior.
- •Run one final
@tui_designerreview pass for consistency feedback and finishing advice.
Handoff template
Use this structure when delegating to @tui_designer:
- •Goal: <design objective>
- •Scope: <file paths or screen areas>
- •Context: <findings from
@exploreand ratatui docs snapshots> - •Constraints: <behavioral, style, keyboard UX, performance>
- •Deliverable: <critique, component plan, implementation, or final review>
Return checklist
- •First-pass critique findings and priority order
- •Desired TODO backlog (small, dispatchable tasks)
- •Scoped subtask/ownership split prepared for parent orchestration
- •Integration notes for parent assembly
- •Final polish feedback from closing design pass
