About design-flow

The 'design-flow' skill provides a structured and guided approach for managing the complete design-to-build workflow. It orchestrates multiple designer-focused skills in a sequential order, ensuring each phase of the project is addressed comprehensively. By guiding users through every stage from initial project clarification to frontend design, it solves the common problem of fragmented design processes and inconsistent outputs, making it easier to maintain alignment and continuity throughout a design project.

This skill offers several key capabilities. It initiates with a phase to clarify the designer's intentions and objectives, followed by the creation of a formal design brief. Subsequent phases define the information architecture, establish design tokens, convert the brief into actionable tasks, and culminate with the frontend design implementation. Each phase is executed thoroughly according to the respective skill's instructions, with summaries, outputs, and decisions confirmed before moving forward. Users have the flexibility to skip certain phases when appropriate, and the process accommodates interruptions, summarizing progress and pending phases for future continuation.

'Design-flow' is ideal for designers, product managers, or development teams looking to systematically approach new projects or features. It is especially useful for guiding less experienced designers through a structured workflow while maintaining professional standards. Typical use cases include running a full project from scratch, developing new features or dashboards, and ensuring all phases of design, documentation, and build planning are completed in a cohesive, repeatable manner.

FAQ

How do I start a full design workflow using this skill?

You can start the full workflow by prompting the skill with phrases like 'Run the full design flow' or 'Walk me through the complete process for a new project'. The skill will guide you through each phase sequentially.

Can I skip certain phases in the workflow?

Yes. At the start, the skill presents the full sequence and asks if you want to skip any phases. For example, you can skip the 'Grill Me' phase if you already have a clear project idea.

What files are produced during the workflow?

Files generated include DESIGN_BRIEF.md, INFORMATION_ARCHITECTURE.md, TASKS.md, and design token files (CSS variables, Tailwind config, or theme files), depending on the project and stack.

Is this skill compatible with partial projects or single components?

Yes. Certain phases, like information architecture, can be skipped for single components, and existing tokens can bypass the design-tokens phase.

Can the workflow be paused and resumed later?

Absolutely. Users can stop at any point. The skill will summarize completed phases and indicate the next phase to continue when you return.
