Step 1: Discovery Questions
Ask the user about their project:
Question 1: What are you building?
- Landing page

- E-commerce
- Portfolio

Question 4: Background style preference
- Pure white (#ffffff)

- Light tinted (use lightest palette color)
- Dark/moody (use darkest palette color)
- Let me decide based on aesthetic
Question 5: Any specific inspiration?
- URLs to analyze
- Aesthetic keywords
- Specific requirements
- Skip (use trend research)
Step 2: Research Phase
Based on answers, optionally invoke:
trend-researcher- For current design trendsinspiration-analyzer- For specific URLs provided
Step 3: Moodboard Phase
Invoke moodboard-creator to:
- Synthesize research into direction
- Present options to user
- Iterate until approved
Step 4: Aesthetic Selection
Based on discovery and moodboard, suggest aesthetics from catalog:
For Modern/Premium:
- Dark & Premium - Sophisticated, high-contrast
- Glassmorphism - Layered, translucent
- Bento Grid - Structured, modular
For Bold/Distinctive:
- Neobrutalism - Raw, impactful
- Statement Hero - Typography-focused
- Editorial - Magazine-inspired
For Minimal/Clean:
- Scandinavian - Warm minimal
- Swiss Typography - Grid-based clarity
- Single-Page Focus - Concentrated impact
For Playful/Creative:
- Y2K/Cyber - Retro-futuristic
- Memphis - Colorful geometric
- Kawaii - Cute, rounded
See references/aesthetics-catalog.md for full catalog.
Step 5: Color & Typography
Invoke specialized skills:
color-curator- Browse Coolors or select from fallbackstypography-selector- Browse Google Fonts or use pairings
Map selections to Tailwind config.
Step 6: Code Generation
Generate single HTML file with:
Structure
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>[Project Title]</title>
<!-- Google Fonts -->
<link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com">
<link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.gstatic.com" crossorigin>
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=[Font1]&family=[Font2]&display=swap" rel="stylesheet">
<!-- Tailwind CDN -->
<script src="https://cdn.tailwindcss.com"></script>
<script>
tailwind.config = {
theme: {
extend: {
colors: {
// Custom colors from palette
},
fontFamily: {
// Custom fonts
}
}
}
}
</script>
<style>
/* Custom animations */
/* Focus states */
/* Reduced motion */
</style>
</head>
<body>
<!-- Semantic HTML structure -->
</body>
</html>
Requirements
- Mobile-responsive (Tailwind breakpoints)
- Semantic HTML (header, main, nav, footer, section)
- Accessible (ARIA labels, focus states, contrast)
- No Lorem ipsum (realistic placeholder content)
- Animations respect prefers-reduced-motion
- Keyboard navigable
Step 7: Self-Review
Check against references/anti-patterns.md:
- No hero badges/pills
- No generic fonts (Inter, Roboto, Arial)
- No purple/blue gradients on white
- No generic blob shapes
- No excessive rounded corners
- No predictable templates
Check references/design-principles.md:
- Clear visual hierarchy
- Proper alignment
- Sufficient contrast
- Appropriate white space
- Consistent spacing
Check references/accessibility-guidelines.md:
- 4.5:1 contrast ratio for text
- Visible focus states
- Semantic HTML
- Alt text for images
- Form labels
Output Format
Deliver:
- Final HTML file
- Brief explanation of design choices
- List of fonts used (for reference)
- Color palette summary
Iteration
If user requests changes:
- Note specific feedback
- Make targeted adjustments
- Re-run self-review
- Present updated version
Maximum 3 major iterations, then consolidate feedback.
