Commands

*design-api {requirements} [--api-type] [--output-file]

Design API contracts and endpoints.

Example:

@design-api "User management API" --api-type REST --output-file docs/api-spec.json

Parameters:

• •requirements (required): API requirements
• •--api-type: REST, GraphQL, or gRPC (default: REST)
• •--output-file: Save API spec to file (default: docs/api-spec.json)
• •Project profile context automatically included (tenancy, scale, compliance, security)

Project Profile Context:

• •Project characteristics automatically included (deployment type, tenancy, scale, compliance, security)
• •Profile stored in .tapps-agents/project-profile.yaml
• •Ensures API design aligns with project constraints (e.g., multi-tenant isolation, compliance requirements)

Context7 Integration:

• •Looks up API design patterns from KB cache
• •References OpenAPI, GraphQL, gRPC documentation
• •Uses cached docs for accurate API patterns

Output Format:

{
  "api": {
    "name": "User Management API",
    "type": "REST",
    "base_url": "/api/v1",
    "endpoints": [
      {
        "path": "/users",
        "method": "GET",
        "description": "List users",
        "parameters": [...],
        "responses": {...}
      }
    ]
  }
}

*data-model-design {requirements} [--output-file]

Design data models and schemas.

Example:

@data-model-design "E-commerce product catalog" --output-file docs/data-model.json

Context7 Integration:

• •Looks up data modeling patterns from KB cache
• •References database design best practices
• •Uses cached docs for ORM patterns (SQLAlchemy, Django, etc.)

*ui-ux-design {requirements} [--user-stories] [--output-file]

Design UI/UX specifications.

Example:

@ui-ux-design "Checkout flow" --user-stories "As a user" "I want to pay" --output-file docs/ui-spec.json

Context7 Integration:

• •Looks up UI/UX patterns from KB cache
• •References design system documentation
• •Uses cached docs for component libraries

*wireframes {description} [--wireframe-type] [--output-file]

Create wireframe (text-based).

Example:

@wireframes "User dashboard screen" --wireframe-type page --output-file docs/wireframe.txt

Wireframe Types:

• •page: Page layout wireframe
• •component: Component wireframe
• •flow: User flow wireframe

*design-system {requirements} [--brand-guidelines] [--output-file]

Define design system (colors, typography, components).

Example:

@design-system "Modern SaaS application" --brand-guidelines "Blue primary color" --output-file docs/design-system.json

*docs {library}

Lookup library documentation from Context7 KB cache.

Example:

@docs fastapi

Context7 Integration

KB Cache Location: .tapps-agents/kb/context7-cache

Usage:

• •Lookup API design patterns (REST, GraphQL, gRPC)
• •Reference data modeling patterns and best practices
• •Get UI/UX patterns and design system documentation
• •Auto-refresh stale entries (7 days default)

Commands:

• •*docs {library} - Get library docs from KB cache
• •*docs-refresh {library} - Refresh library docs in cache

Cache Hit Rate Target: 90%+ (pre-populate common libraries)

Project Profiling

Automatic Detection:

• •Project characteristics are automatically detected and included in context
• •Profile includes: deployment type, tenancy model, user scale, compliance requirements, security level
• •Profile stored in .tapps-agents/project-profile.yaml
• •No manual configuration required

When Used:

• •Automatically included in all design commands
• •Ensures API and data model design aligns with project constraints (e.g., multi-tenant isolation, compliance requirements, security level)
• •Provides context-aware design patterns and data privacy considerations

Industry Experts Integration

Configuration: .tapps-agents/experts.yaml

Auto-Consultation:

• •Automatically consults relevant domain experts for design patterns
• •Uses weighted decision system (51% primary expert, 49% split)
• •Incorporates domain-specific design knowledge

Domains:

• •API design experts
• •UI/UX design experts
• •Domain-specific experts (healthcare, finance, etc.)

Usage:

• •Expert consultation happens automatically when relevant
• •Use *consult {query} [domain] for explicit consultation
• •Use *validate {artifact} [artifact_type] to validate designs

Tiered Context System

Tier 2 (Extended Context):

• •Current requirements and constraints
• •Existing API contracts and data models
• •Related code files and patterns
• •Design system documentation

Context Tier: Tier 2 (needs extended context to understand existing designs)

Token Savings: 70%+ by using extended context selectively

MCP Gateway Integration

Available Tools:

• •filesystem (read/write): Read/write design files
• •git: Access version control history
• •analysis: Parse code structure and API definitions
• •context7: Library documentation lookup

Usage:

• •Use MCP tools for file access and design management
• •Context7 tool for library documentation
• •Git tool for design history and patterns

Best Practices

1. •Always use Context7 KB cache for API design patterns and library docs
2. •Consult Industry Experts for domain-specific design patterns
3. •Follow conventions - REST, GraphQL, gRPC best practices
4. •Document thoroughly - include examples and use cases
5. •Consider versioning - design for API evolution
6. •Use tiered context - extended context for complex designs
7. •Validate with stakeholders - ensure designs meet requirements

Constraints

• •No code execution - focuses on design and documentation
• •No implementation details - focus on what, not how
• •No UI rendering - creates specifications, not visual designs
