ChrisAI Designing

Use this skill for design work. Route the task to the narrowest internal workflow or reference unless the request clearly needs a deliberate sequence.

Use precise review terminology:

• A review round is a feedback cycle.
• A revision is a major folder-level artifact version.
• Major changes create a new revision folder.
• Minor changes may stay in the current revision folder.

Wireframes, creative drafts, clickable drafts, and functional creatives must use workflows/feedback-loop.md until the relevant phase is approved, including when feedback arrives as annotations, screenshot notes, ad hoc requests, or direct chat comments.

Generated wireframes and creative drafts must be HTML/CSS/JS review artifacts. Do not deliver markdown-only wireframes, markdown mockups, or prose-only creative drafts unless the user explicitly asks for text-only planning instead of generated files.

Rendered wireframes, creative drafts, clickable drafts, and functional creatives must show only intended product UI. Do not render agent annotations, review notes, implementation commentary, TODO labels, annotative placeholders, or explanatory callouts inside the HTML interface. Realistic illustrative content is allowed when product truth is unavailable, but it must not be visibly labeled as placeholder or annotation content. Put review context, assumptions, simulated-behavior notes, deferred states, open questions, and handoff guidance in companion Markdown files inside the revision folder. Every update that changes a generated wireframe, creative draft, clickable draft, or functional creative must append or update a companion notes.md review-round entry that records what changed, what should be reviewed, feedback or annotations applied, simulated behavior, open questions, and the exact next approval path.

Generated wireframes, creative drafts, clickable drafts, and functional creatives must use document-relative links for pages, scripts, styles, and draft assets. Prefer links such as ./index.html, ./checkout.html, ./styles.css, ./script.js, and ../assets/logo.png. Do not assume the draft is hosted from a web root, and do not use root-relative paths such as /index.html, /styles.css, or /assets/logo.png inside portable static review artifacts.

Internal Guidance

• Use workflows/creative-direction.md when the task needs coordinated creative direction, visual-system definition, homepage or landing-page composition, brand adaptation, reference-site synthesis, or a pre-artifact design-direction handoff.
• Use workflows/design-system-extraction.md when the task needs existing app, site, Figma, design-system, component-library, screenshot, exported design-file, or local theme-source inspection before extending a product.
• Use workflows/wireframe-drafts.md when the task needs document-driven HTML/CSS/JS grayscale low-fidelity wireframes, layout options, flow structure, or clickable grayscale wireframe drafts.
• Use workflows/design-drafts.md when the task needs static HTML/CSS/JS design-review artifacts, clickable creative drafts, functional creative drafts, or polished visual mockups from an approved structure and direction.
• Use workflows/feedback-loop.md whenever a draft, prototype, rendered page, local app, screenshot, recording, or other browser-visible artifact needs review questions, review-round approval, phase approval, and exact next-step language.
• Use workflows/design-handoff-package.md when the user asks to document, explain, package, summarize, or hand off generated wireframes and/or creatives. Generate a final package from approved revisions. Generate an interim package from pending or unknown revisions only when the user explicitly requests pre-approval documentation.

Supporting References

• Use references/design-modes.md to classify the design mode before choosing a workflow.
• Use references/brand-led-discovery.md, references/existing-design-sources.md, references/homepage-patterns.md, references/site-direction-playbooks.md, and references/visual-review.md during creative-direction work.
• Use references/source-formats.md and references/extraction-report.md during design-system extraction.
• Use references/wireframe-specs-contract.md, references/wireframe-implementation-rules.md, references/wireframe-revision-workflow.md, and references/wireframe-review-workflow.md during wireframe work.
• Use references/wireframe-lib-inventory.md to select bundled wireframe layouts, components, icons, utilities, and behavioral samples before creating new equivalents.
• Use references/wireframe-composition-rules.md after library lookup when a wireframe needs custom elements or compositions, including table-like data collections.
• Use references/creative-draft-specs-contract.md, references/creative-draft-implementation-rules.md, references/creative-draft-revision-workflow.md, and references/creative-draft-review-workflow.md during creative draft work.
• Use references/draft-artifact-rules.md during static draft creation.
• Use references/browser-feedback-loop.md during browser-visible review rounds.
• Use references/evidence-scripts.md when objective extraction scripts can provide useful evidence.
• Use references/wireframe-routing.md only as a bridge when a creative direction task turns into low-fidelity structure work.

Soft Capability Lookup

Use installed capabilities opportunistically, but do not require them:

• For logo creation or refinement, look for an available logo-generation skill, plugin, local tool, or project workflow. If none exists, produce best-effort logo direction or lightweight SVG guidance without claiming a dedicated logo workflow was used.
• For image generation, look for an available image-generation capability such as a skill, plugin, or image tool. If none exists, use placeholders, existing assets, SVG/static guidance, or ask for source assets when needed.
• For production HTML, CSS, or JavaScript implementation, look for an available frontend, HTML/CSS, JavaScript, app implementation, or project-local coding workflow. If none exists, keep the output at the design-artifact or handoff level.
• For browser-visible review, use the Browser plugin when available. If it is unavailable, provide the local URL or file path and state that browser review was not performed.

If no matching capability is available, state any limits.

Sequencing

Only chain internal guidance when there is a clear owner plus a clear follow-up. Use this order:

1. workflows/design-system-extraction.md first when existing product rules must be understood before new design work.
2. workflows/creative-direction.md when the visual direction, design mode, or brand-led system is still open.
3. workflows/wireframe-drafts.md when structure, hierarchy, or flow must be specified and approved before visual design.
4. workflows/design-drafts.md when a static review artifact is needed from an approved structure and direction.
5. workflows/feedback-loop.md whenever an artifact is shown for review.
6. workflows/design-handoff-package.md after the latest wireframe and/or creative artifacts are approved, or when the user asks for documentation or handoff material.

Do not default to multi-step design sequences.

Decision Rules

• If the request is mainly about creative direction, visual-system work, homepage composition, or pre-artifact design-direction handoff, use workflows/creative-direction.md.
• If the request is mainly about extracting rules from an existing design source of truth, use workflows/design-system-extraction.md.
• If the request is mainly about grayscale wireframes or clickable grayscale wireframes, use workflows/wireframe-drafts.md.
• If the request is mainly about static design-review artifacts, clickable creative drafts, or mockups from approved structure and direction, use workflows/design-drafts.md.
• If a browser-visible artifact is part of the task, apply workflows/feedback-loop.md before asking the user for approval.
• If the request is mainly about documenting generated design artifacts, use workflows/design-handoff-package.md and include interaction behavior, component identity, states, assumptions, implementation priority, and open questions.
