Workflow

See reference/templates/ for all templates.

Quick Workflow

1. Claim task: bd update <task-id> --status in_progress
2. Create branch: design/<task-id>-<desc>
3. Analyze competitors (if needed)
4. Create component specs or style guide updates
5. Generate Tailwind tokens
6. Create PR
7. Update Beads

Competitor Analysis

See reference/templates/competitor-analysis.md for full template.

Key Sections

• Strengths/Weaknesses (UX, visual design, patterns)
• Design tokens observed (colors, spacing, typography)
• Recommendations (adopt, avoid, differentiate)

Example Output

## [Competitor A]
**Strengths**: Clean onboarding (3 steps), strong hierarchy
**Weaknesses**: Inconsistent buttons, poor mobile nav
**Tokens**: Primary #6366f1, Border radius 12px
**Adopt**: Bottom sheet pattern, skeleton loading

Style Guide

See reference/templates/style-guide.md for complete template.

Core Sections

Section	Contents
Colors	Primary, semantic (success/warning/error), Tailwind mappings
Typography	Font families, type scale, weights
Spacing	Scale (xs/sm/md/lg/xl), Tailwind utilities
Borders	Radius values, usage guidelines
Shadows	Elevation levels, when to use

Example: Color System

| Name | Hex | Tailwind | Usage |
|------|-----|----------|-------|
| Primary | #6366f1 | indigo-500 | CTAs, links |
| Success | #10b981 | emerald-500 | Success states |

Component Specifications

See reference/templates/component-spec.md for full template.

Spec Structure

# Component: [Name]

## Variants
Primary, Secondary, Outline (with Tailwind classes)

## Sizes
sm/md/lg (padding, font size, height)

## States
Hover, Focus, Disabled, Loading (style changes)

## Accessibility
Focus rings, ARIA attributes, keyboard navigation

Example: Button Spec

Primary: bg-indigo-500 hover:bg-indigo-600 text-white px-4 py-2 rounded-lg
Sizes: sm (px-3 py-1.5), md (px-4 py-2), lg (px-6 py-3)
States: Focus ring-2 ring-indigo-300, Disabled opacity-50

Design Tokens

See reference/templates/ for complete tokens.css and tailwind-config.js examples.

Format	Example
CSS	--color-primary-500: #6366f1, --space-4: 1rem, --radius-lg: 0.75rem
Tailwind	colors: { primary: { 500: '#6366f1' } }, borderRadius: { card: '12px' }

Mobile Guidelines

See reference/mobile-guidelines.md for complete guidelines.

Quick Reference

Guideline	Value
Touch targets	44x44px (iOS), 48x48dp (Android)
Target spacing	8px minimum
Bottom nav items	Max 5
Safe areas	Account for notch, nav bars

Gestures

• Swipe to delete, pull to refresh, long press for context

Platform-Specific

Platform	Guidelines	Key Differences
iOS	HIG (Human Interface)	SF Symbols, bottom sheets, swipe gestures
Android	Material Design 3	FABs, snackbars, navigation drawer
Web	Responsive design	Hover states, focus management

Beads Commands

bd update <task-id> --status in_progress
git checkout -b design/<task-id>-<desc>
# ... create specs ...
git commit -m "design: add component specs (bd-<task-id>)"
git push origin design/<task-id>-<desc>
bd close <task-id> --reason "Specs created"

Integration

• Triggered by: PM assigns design task
• Works with: Frontend/mobile devs for implementation
• Reports to: PM with design specs
• Code review: Triggers skyfom-code-reviewer for implementation

• Developers can implement from specs (no back-and-forth)
• Design tokens in code match specs
• Accessible (WCAG AA minimum)
• Responsive (mobile, tablet, desktop)
• Consistent with platform guidelines (HIG/Material Design 3)
