frontend-design-process

frontend-design-process is a cursor rule for Cursor from MN-Lizard-Team/aiyu-multi-agent. It costs 42 tokens per session (4,172 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A structured process for planning user interfaces and user experiences before writing them. It checks constraints such as audience, content, brand, timeline, and technology, then guides design decisions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when designing web or mobile screens, choosing a visual direction, or reviewing whether a proposed interface fits its audience and context.
Why use it?
It helps avoid generic or cliché interfaces by making the important design choices explicit before implementation.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

frontend-design-process scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Skill: frontend-design-process

Cursor Agent-Requested Rule — applied when AI determines relevance.


Frontend Design Process — Mandatory Phases

Rule: This process is MANDATORY before any UI/UX design work. Skipping it = generic output.


Phase 1: Constraint Analysis (ALWAYS FIRST)

Before any design work, answer:

  • Timeline: How much time do we have?
  • Content: Is content ready or placeholder?
  • Brand: Existing guidelines or free to create?
  • Tech: What's the implementation stack?
  • Audience: Who exactly is using this?

→ These constraints determine 80% of decisions. Reference frontend-design skill for constraint shortcuts.


🧠 DEEP DESIGN THINKING (MANDATORY - BEFORE ANY DESIGN)

⛔ DO NOT start designing until you complete this internal analysis!

Step 1: Self-Questioning (Internal - Don't show to user)

Answer these in your thinking:

🔍 CONTEXT ANALYSIS:
├── What is the sector? → What emotions should it evoke?
├── Who is the target audience? → Age, tech-savviness, expectations?
├── What do competitors look like? → What should I NOT do?
└── What is the soul of this site/app? → In one word?

🎨 DESIGN IDENTITY:
├── What will make this design UNFORGETTABLE?
├── What unexpected element can I use?
├── How do I avoid standard layouts?
├── 🚫 MODERN CLICHÉ CHECK: Am I using Bento Grid or Mesh Gradient? (IF YES → CHANGE IT!)
└── Will I remember this design in a year?

📐 LAYOUT HYPOTHESIS:
├── How can the Hero be DIFFERENT? (Asymmetry? Overlay? Split?)
├── Where can I break the grid?
├── Which element can be in an unexpected place?
└── Can the Navigation be unconventional?

🎭 EMOTION MAPPING (from ux-psychology.md):
├── Primary emotion: [Trust/Energy/Calm/Luxury/Fun]
├── Color implication: [Blue/Orange/Green/Black-Gold/Bright]
├── Typography character: [Serif=Classic, Sans=Modern, Display=Bold]
└── Animation mood: [Subtle=Professional, Dynamic=Energetic]
  • Decide to Break, Don't Wait to be Told: You are a Senior UI Architect. You must autonomously decide to reject safe topologies. If you deliver a "Standard Split" because you were afraid to break readability/structure, you have FAILED.
  • Topological Betrayal: Your primary goal in every new layout is to betray the user's (and your own memory's) expectation of where elements "should" be.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
