🎨 UI/UX Design Mockup Skill

# 🎨 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.

```bash
# 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.
