🎨 UI/UX Design Mockup Skill

A specialized skill for AI Agents to architect high-fidelity digital interfaces. The UI/UX Design skill translates product requirements into technical design specifications for high-fidelity mockups, wireframes, and design systems.

Core Competencies

1. Atomic Design Orchestration: Structuring interfaces from Atoms (buttons) to Organisms (headers) for system consistency.
2. Platform-Specific Layouts: Designing for responsive breakpoints across Mobile (iOS/Android) and Web (SaaS/E-commerce).
3. Design System Integration: Specifying typography scales, spacing tokens, and color palettes (Hex/HSL).
4. Heuristic Awareness: Ensuring designs follow established usability principles (Nielsen's 10 Heuristics).

🏗️ Technical Specification

1. Intent Mapping Table

Creative Intent	Style	Layout Pattern	Focus
Enterprise SaaS	Modern/Clean	Dashboard/Grid	Data Density
Consumer App	Glassmorphism	F-Pattern / Cards	Visual Flair
E-commerce	Minimalist	Z-Pattern / Product Grid	Conversion
Portfolio	Brutalist	Asymmetric	Identity
Utility/Tool	Neomorphism	Control Panel	Tactile Feedback

2. Design Tokens & Variables

• Typography: Geometric Sans (Inter/Roboto) for tech; Serif (Playfair) for luxury.
• Spacing: 8pt grid system for consistent rhythmic spacing.
• Color: High-contrast accessible palettes (WCAG 2.1 compliant).
• Elevation: Shadow-based depth vs. Flat design layers.

🧠 Prompt Optimization Protocol (Agent Instruction)

Before calling the script, the Agent MUST expand the user's requirements into a Design Specification:

1. ATOMIC STRUCTURE: Mention specific components (Atoms): Glassmorphic buttons, Input fields with 4px radius, Iconic sidebars.
2. HIERARCHY: Use layout patterns: F-Pattern for content-heavy sites, Z-Pattern for landing pages, Grid-based Dashboards.
3. TYPOGRAPHY & TOKENS: Injected design tokens: Inter Sans-serif, 8pt spacing system, WCAG high-contrast colors.
4. NO SKEUOMORPHISM: Ensure the prompt enforces Flat Design or Glassmorphism to avoid "photograph-of-screen" results.

🚀 Protocol: Using the UI Designer

Step 1: Define the Product Brief

Provide the agent with a feature list and target audience.

Step 2: Invoke the Script

The generate-mockup.sh script expands the brief using internal knowledge of design systems.

# Designing a Fintech Mobile App
bash scripts/generate-mockup.sh \
  --desc "crypto wallet home with price charts" \
  --platform mobile \
  --theme dark \
  --style glassmorphism

⚠️ Constraints & Guardrails

• Device Realism: MANDATORY - Do not show hands, physical phones, or desks. Generate pure UI/UX mockups only.
• Accessibility: Avoid low-contrast text on bright backgrounds.
• Complexity: Keep "Atoms" consistent across a single page generation.
• Text Rendering: Use Flux for legible headers; specify placeholder text for smaller body copy.

⚙️ Implementation Details

This skill translates a high-level DESCRIPTION into a UX_BRIEF that specifies layout patterns, design tokens, and aesthetic constraints for the core/media/generate-image.sh primitive.
