Stitch MCP Generate Screen From Text

Tools

This skill is designed to call the Stitch MCP tool:

• generate_screen_from_text

If your client namespaces MCP tools, it may appear as mcp__<serverName>__generate_screen_from_text.

When to use this skill

CRITICAL PREREQUISITE: You must ONLY use this skill when the user EXPLICITLY mentions "Stitch".

ALWAYS use this skill when the user:

• Describes a UI interface and asks Stitch to generate it.
• Asks to "Design", "Generate", "Create", or "Make" a screen using Stitch.
• Provides specific visual requirements ("Dark mode", "Blue button") for a Stitch generation.
• Wants to visualize a wireframe or concept via Stitch.
• Is in the Step 5 of the stitch-ui-designer SOP workflow.

Trigger phrases include:

• "Use Stitch to design a screen" (用 Stitch 设计一个页面)
• "Stitch generate UI" (Stitch 生成 UI)
• "Draw a login page with Stitch" (用 Stitch 画一个登录页)

Input Parameters

The skill expects you to extract the following information from the user request:

• projectId (required): The numeric Project ID. Format: Pure ID (e.g., 37803...), NO projects/ prefix.
• prompt (required): The structured text description of the screen (see "Constructing the Prompt" below).
• deviceType (optional): The target device.
  • Values: MOBILE (default), DESKTOP, TABLET, SMART_WATCH.
• modelId (optional): The model to use.
  • Values: GEMINI_3_PRO (Recommended for quality), GEMINI_3_FLASH (Speed).

How to use this skill

0. Call the MCP Tool

Invoke generate_screen_from_text with:

• projectId (pure numeric string, no projects/)
• prompt
• deviceType (optional)
• modelId (optional)

1. Constructing the Prompt (The Art of Prompting)

The prompt argument is the most critical factor for quality. Do not just pass the user's raw input. You MUST enrich it using the Structure Strategy:

[Device] [Mode] [Screen Type]. [Style]. [Layout]. [Components].

• Context: "Mobile High-Fidelity login screen."
• Style: "Cyberpunk aesthetic. Dark mode. Neon blue accents."
• Layout: "Center-aligned vertical stack."
• Components: "Glitch-effect Logo. Input fields with glowing borders. Primary 'Jack In' button."

2. Choosing Device Type (deviceType)

• MOBILE (Default): Vertical layouts, ~375px width. Best for consumer apps.
• DESKTOP: Horizontal layouts, ~1440px width. Best for SaaS, Dashboards, Landing Pages.
• TABLET: Hybrid layouts.
• SMART_WATCH: Tiny, compact layouts.

3. Choosing Model (modelId)

• GEMINI_3_PRO: Recommended. High intelligence, better instruction following, superior aesthetics. Use for all complex/final designs.
• GEMINI_3_FLASH: Faster, lower cost. Good for simple wireframes or rapid iteration.

Best Practices

1. Detailed Components: Don't just say "Form". Say "Form with Email, Password, and Eye toggle icon".
2. Color Precision: Mention specific colors (e.g., "Emerald Green", "#FF5733") if the user specifies them.
3. Content Realism: Ask for realistic text placeholders (e.g., "Welcome back, Alice" instead of "Lorem Ipsum").
4. Device Alignment: Ensure the prompt description matches the deviceType (e.g., don't ask for a "Sidebar" on MOBILE).
5. No Code Generation: This skill generates Visual Designs, not implementation code. Do not confuse with coding skills (like uniappx-project-creator).

Output Handling

generate_screen_from_text returns session info (e.g., sessionId and outputComponents). It may not return a screenshot directly.

After the generation completes, retrieve the resulting screen(s) via:

1. list_screens with projectId in the format projects/{id}.
2. get_screen with the selected screenId to fetch screenshot / html assets.

常见陷阱 (Gotchas)

1. 版本兼容性：注意框架版本与依赖库的兼容性，不同版本 API 可能有差异
2. 配置文件格式：配置文件格式错误是最常见的问题，建议使用编辑器的语法检查
3. 环境变量：确保所有必要的环境变量已正确设置，敏感信息不要硬编码
4. 依赖冲突：多版本共存时注意依赖冲突，使用 lock 文件锁定版本
5. 性能陷阱：大数据量场景下注意性能优化，避免 N+1 查询等常见问题
