- Updated explore-auto.md to include a new phase for intelligent path detection and source selection, allowing the system to identify existing file paths from prompts and images.
- Introduced conditional code import and completeness assessment based on detected design sources (code only, visual only, hybrid).
- Modified phase execution flow to accommodate new checks for style, animation, and layout completeness based on the design source.
- Added error handling for missing design elements and user prompts for visual supplementation.
- Enhanced imitate-auto.md with intelligent path detection and a new phase for code import and completeness assessment, ensuring a hybrid approach when applicable.
- Implemented detailed reporting for each phase, including missing elements and recommendations for improvement.
- Created a comprehensive import-from-code.md file outlining the workflow for importing design systems from code files, detailing the execution process and error handling.
Fixes critical P0 issue where animation-tokens.json wasn't consumed by the
generate command, breaking the value chain. The animation extraction system
now properly flows through: animation-extract → tokens → generate → prototypes.
Changes:
- Added animation-extract command with hybrid CSS extraction + interactive
fallback strategy
- Updated generate.md to load and inject animation tokens into prototypes
- Added CSS animation support (custom properties, keyframes, interactions,
accessibility)
- Integrated animation extraction into explore-auto and imitate-auto workflows

- Auto-trigger computed styles extraction when URLs provided (no manual flag)
- Auto-trigger DOM structure extraction for layout analysis
- Streamline imitate-auto workflow by removing redundant REPORT statements
- Maintain clear phase headers while reducing verbose output
- Enable graceful fallback to visual analysis if Chrome DevTools unavailable

**Summary:**
Updated all 62 command files in `.claude/commands` directory to improve parameter documentation clarity by replacing `examples` field with descriptive `argument-hint` field.
**Changes:**
- Added/improved `argument-hint` for all commands based on usage patterns
- Removed `examples` field and all example items from YAML headers
- Maintained all other YAML fields (name, description, usage, allowed-tools)
- Deleted obsolete commands: workflow/issue/*, workflow/session/pause.md, workflow/session/switch.md
- Cleaned up temporary analysis files
**Rationale:**
The `argument-hint` field provides clearer, more concise parameter documentation than example lists, improving command discoverability and usability in the Claude Code interface.
**Files Modified:** 62 command files
**Lines Changed:** -1570 insertions, +192 deletions

- Implemented the `/workflow:ui-design:explore-layers` command for depth-controlled UI capture.
- Defined depth levels from full-page screenshots to Shadow DOM exploration.
- Included setup, validation, and navigation phases with error handling.
- Captured screenshots at various depths and generated a comprehensive layer map.
- Added examples and usage instructions for ease of use.
- Introduced a new workflow named `imitate-auto-v3` that allows for batch screenshot capture and optional token refinement.
- Implemented a comprehensive 5-phase execution protocol to handle initialization, screenshot capture, style extraction, token processing, and UI generation.
- Added support for multiple target URLs through a `--url-map` parameter, enhancing flexibility in design replication.
- Included optional parameters for session management and token refinement, allowing users to customize their workflow experience.
- Enhanced error handling and reporting throughout the workflow to ensure clarity and ease of debugging.
- Deprecated the previous `imitate-auto.md` workflow in favor of this more robust version.
- Remove npx playwright to prevent auto-installation triggers
- Add explicit tool availability checks using 'which' command
- Check for playwright-cli, google-chrome, chrome, and chromium executables
- Only attempt screenshot capture if tools are already installed
- Provide clear tool availability reporting to users
- Gracefully fallback to manual mode when no tools available
- Support chromium browser on Linux systems
This ensures the workflow never triggers package installations and works
safely in environments without screenshot tools installed.
Clarified file writing patterns across UI design workflows to prevent confusion
between "generate content as output then save" vs "direct write to file" approaches.
Changes:
- extract.md: Merged Phase 2 & 3 to unify style synthesis and file write operations
* Updated phase title to emphasize direct file writing
* Added explicit note about internal processing without context output
* Consolidated parse-and-write step into single atomic operation
- imitate-auto.md: Added clarifying comments for orchestrator file transformation
* Documented that Phase 2 uses orchestrator-level read-process-write pattern
* Explained this as performance optimization to bypass consolidate phase
The entire UI design workflow now consistently follows clear file operation patterns
with no ambiguous intermediate output steps.

- Replace mcp__exa__get_code_context_exa with mcp__exa__web_search_exa in consolidate.md
for trend research queries (colors, typography, layout, contrast, accessibility)
- Add Phase 0.75 URL Content Analysis in imitate-auto.md for screenshot fallback mode
- Use web_search_exa for design pattern extraction from URLs when screenshots unavailable
- Update workflow documentation to reflect new MCP tool usage

Fix critical CSS loading issue where component templates were missing
style references due to contradictory instructions.
Changes:
- Require all templates (pages and components) to generate complete HTML5 documents
- Components now use full document structure with isolated body content
- Guarantees <head> tag presence for CSS placeholder injection
- Update validation to enforce <!DOCTYPE html> requirement
- Update documentation to reflect unified template approach
This ensures ui-instantiate-prototypes.sh can reliably inject STRUCTURAL_CSS
and TOKEN_CSS placeholders, fixing component styling issues.

Consolidate separate page/component modes into a unified target system to
reduce code duplication and simplify the workflow parameter model.

- Merge --pages and --components into unified --targets parameter
- Add --target-type (auto|page|component) with intelligent detection
- Remove Phase 0d from explore-auto.md (131 lines of duplicate logic)
- Implement detect_target_type() helper for automatic classification
- Update generate.md to support adaptive wrapper generation
- Full HTML structure for pages
- Minimal wrapper for isolated components
- Update imitate-auto.md and update.md for parameter consistency
- Enhance ui-design-agent.md with adaptive design capabilities
- Maintain full backward compatibility with legacy syntax
Benefits:
- Code reduction: -35% in target inference logic (255 → 165 lines)
- Maintenance: Single unified logic path vs dual implementations
- Extensibility: Foundation for future mixed-mode support
- UX: Simpler parameter model with automatic type detection
Technical Details:
- explore-auto.md: 605 lines changed (unified Phase 0c)
- generate.md: 353 lines changed (targets + adaptive wrapper)
- Net change: +685 insertions, -504 deletions across 5 files
All existing workflows remain compatible via legacy parameter support.
