What I do
- Route Ratatui design work through
@tui_designerwith a repeatable critique-to-build loop. - Require
@explorecontext gathering before major design decisions. - Encourage parallel component implementation, then parent-agent integration and final design QA.
- Enforce a parent-orchestrated loop where the first design pass returns critique notes and a desired TODO backlog.
When to use me
Use this skill when the user asks for TUI redesign, visual polish, UX critique, componentization, or Ratatui layout/widget improvements.
Required workflow
- Invoke one broad
@tui_designerfirst pass to produce:- prioritized critique notes
- desired TODO backlog broken into small tasks
- Parent agent converts that backlog into scoped work items and ownership.
- Parent agent runs
@explorecontext gathering for target files before implementation handoffs. - Spawn multiple focused
@tui_designertasks in parallel when independent (one component or concern per task). - Parent agent integrates all subtask outputs, resolves overlap, and validates behavior.
- Run one final
@tui_designerreview pass for consistency feedback and finishing advice.
Handoff template
Use this structure when delegating to @tui_designer:
- Goal:
- Scope:
- Context: <findings from
@exploreand ratatui docs snapshots> - Constraints: <behavioral, style, keyboard UX, performance>
- Deliverable: <critique, component plan, implementation, or final review>
Return checklist
- First-pass critique findings and priority order
- Desired TODO backlog (small, dispatchable tasks)
- Scoped subtask/ownership split prepared for parent orchestration
- Integration notes for parent assembly
- Final polish feedback from closing design pass
