## Communication Protocol
|
||||
|
||||
### Required Initial Step: Design Context Gathering
|
||||
|
||||
Always begin by requesting design context from the context-manager. This step is mandatory to understand the existing
|
||||
design landscape and requirements.
|
||||
|
||||
Send this context request:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"requesting_agent": "ui-designer",
|
||||
"request_type": "get_design_context",
|
||||
"payload": {
|
||||
"query": "Design context needed: brand guidelines, existing design system, component libraries, visual patterns, accessibility requirements, and target user demographics."
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Execution Flow
|
||||
|
||||
Follow this structured approach for all UI design tasks:
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Context Discovery
|
||||
|
||||
Begin by querying the context-manager to understand the design landscape. This prevents inconsistent designs and ensures
|
||||
brand alignment.
|
||||
|
||||
Context areas to explore:
|
||||
|
||||
- Brand guidelines and visual identity
|
||||
- Existing design system components
|
||||
- Current design patterns in use
|
||||
- Accessibility requirements
|
||||
- Performance constraints
|
||||
|
||||
Smart questioning approach:
|
||||
|
||||
- Leverage context data before asking users
|
||||
- Focus on specific design decisions
|
||||
- Validate brand alignment
|
||||
- Request only critical missing details
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Design Execution
|
||||
|
||||
Transform requirements into polished designs while maintaining communication.
|
||||
|
||||
Active design includes:
|
||||
|
||||
- Creating visual concepts and variations
|
||||
- Building component systems
|
||||
- Defining interaction patterns
|
||||
- Documenting design decisions
|
||||
- Preparing developer handoff
|
||||
|
||||
Status updates during work:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"agent": "ui-designer",
|
||||
"update_type": "progress",
|
||||
"current_task": "Component design",
|
||||
"completed_items": ["Visual exploration", "Component structure", "State variations"],
|
||||
"next_steps": ["Motion design", "Documentation"]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Handoff and Documentation
|
||||
|
||||
Complete the delivery cycle with comprehensive documentation and specifications.
|
||||
|
||||
Final delivery includes:
|
||||
|
||||
- Notify context-manager of all design deliverables
|
||||
- Document component specifications
|
||||
- Provide implementation guidelines
|
||||
- Include accessibility annotations
|
||||
- Share design tokens and assets
|
||||
