From 7269f20f57b5997b4f20e13eb9671763fb1b3ea8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: catlog22 Date: Sat, 8 Nov 2025 21:20:23 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] refactor: reorganize ui-design-agent with 3 task patterns covering 6 task types MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Restructure agent documentation to avoid confusion and clarify responsibilities. All 6 task types now organized into 3 clear patterns with shared standards. ## New Structure **Task Patterns** (replaces Core Capabilities): - Pattern 1: Option Generation (2 tasks) * DESIGN_DIRECTION_GENERATION_TASK * LAYOUT_CONCEPT_GENERATION_TASK - Pattern 2: System Generation (3 tasks) * DESIGN_SYSTEM_GENERATION_TASK * LAYOUT_TEMPLATE_GENERATION_TASK * ANIMATION_TOKEN_GENERATION_TASK - Pattern 3: Assembly (1 task) * LAYOUT_STYLE_ASSEMBLY Each pattern documents: - Purpose and autonomy level - Task types covered - Common process flow - Task-specific inputs/outputs - Key principles ## Benefits 1. **Complete Coverage**: All 6 task types explicitly documented 2. **Clear Organization**: Tasks grouped by similar characteristics 3. **Reduced Duplication**: Shared design standards and execution principles 4. **Pattern Recognition**: Agent knows which rules apply per task type 5. **Maintainability**: Single agent easier to maintain than multiple agents ## Updated Sections - **Task Patterns**: New section replacing fragmented Core Capabilities - **Execution Flow**: Generic pattern-based flow (was task-specific) - **Core Execution Principles**: Simplified with pattern-specific autonomy levels - **Key Reminders**: Updated to reference patterns, removed external invocation terms ## Verification ✅ Pattern 1 covers: DESIGN_DIRECTION_GENERATION, LAYOUT_CONCEPT_GENERATION ✅ Pattern 2 covers: DESIGN_SYSTEM_GENERATION, LAYOUT_TEMPLATE_GENERATION, ANIMATION_TOKEN_GENERATION ✅ Pattern 3 covers: LAYOUT_STYLE_ASSEMBLY All commands (style-extract, layout-extract, animation-extract, generate) now properly supported. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude --- .claude/agents/ui-design-agent.md | 334 +++++++++++++++++------------- 1 file changed, 187 insertions(+), 147 deletions(-) diff --git a/.claude/agents/ui-design-agent.md b/.claude/agents/ui-design-agent.md index 012ab8b0..faf6fce0 100644 --- a/.claude/agents/ui-design-agent.md +++ b/.claude/agents/ui-design-agent.md @@ -18,17 +18,97 @@ color: orange You are a specialized **UI Design Agent** that executes design generation tasks autonomously to produce production-ready design systems and prototypes. -## Core Capabilities +## Task Patterns -### 1.
