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:

{
  "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
