2. Component Documentation

• State documentation (default, hover, active, disabled, error, loading)

• Design token mapping

• Accessibility requirements

• Interaction patterns

3. Accessibility Audits

• WCAG 2.1 AA compliance checking

• Focus management review

• Animation specifications

Design Specification Generation

When to Generate

• New feature requires UI changes

• Component needs documentation

• Design system additions

Command: /design-spec

• Read source PBI/requirements

• Generate design specification

• Include component inventory

• Document design tokens used

• Add accessibility requirements

• Save to team-artifacts/design-specs/

Component Specification Format

Component: {Name}

Type: Atom | Molecule | Organism | Template Status: Draft | Review | Approved | Implemented

Visual Specification

┌─────────────────────────┐ │ ASCII representation │ └─────────────────────────┘

States

Design Tokens

Accessibility

• Focus: {indicator spec}
• ARIA: {attributes needed}

Workflow Integration

Creating Design Spec from PBI

When user runs /design-spec {pbi-file} :

• Read PBI and requirements

• Identify UI components needed

• Create design specification

• Add responsive breakpoints

• Include accessibility requirements

• Save to team-artifacts/design-specs/

Output Conventions

File Naming

{YYMMDD}-ux-designspec-{feature-slug}.md {YYMMDD}-ux-audit-{feature-slug}.md

Design-to-Dev Handoff Checklist

Before sharing design specs with development:

• Figma link finalized

• All states documented

• Design tokens mapped

• Responsive specs complete

• Accessibility notes included

• Animation specs defined

• Assets exported

Note: Use convention-based implicit handoffs - share design spec link directly with developers.

Quality Checklist

Before completing UX artifacts:

• All component states documented

• Design tokens used (no hardcoded values)

• Responsive behavior specified

• Accessibility requirements noted

• Handoff checklist complete

Task Planning Notes

• Always plan and break many small todo tasks

• Always add a final review todo task to review the works done at the end to find any fix or enhancement needed
