UI Generation Command (Target-Style-Centric Architecture)

Executor: → @ui-design-agent Parallel Generation: Phase 2 → @ui-design-agent (T×S tasks, each handling L layouts)

Overview

Generate production-ready UI prototypes (HTML/CSS) using target-style-centric batch generation. Each agent handles all layout variants for one target × one style combination, ensuring component isolation and focused generation.

Core Philosophy

• Target-Style-Centric: Each of T×S agents generates L layouts for one target × one style
• Component Isolation: Tasks completely independent, preventing cross-component interference
• Style-Aware Structure: HTML DOM adapts based on design_attributes (density, visual_weight, etc.)
• Performance Optimized: T×S agent calls with highly focused scope per agent
• Layout Inspiration: Simple text-based research replaces complex JSON planning
• Self-Contained CSS: Agent reads design-tokens.json and creates independent CSS (no token.css reference)
• Production-Ready: Semantic HTML5, ARIA attributes, responsive design

          {IF design_attributes:
          DESIGN_ATTRIBUTES: {attributes_summary}
          Key impacts:
          - density → DOM nesting depth, whitespace scale
          - visual_weight → wrapper layers, border/shadow strength
          - formality → semantic structure choices
          - organic_vs_geometric → alignment, edge treatment
          - innovation → layout adventurousness
          }

          ## 📂 Input Resources
          **Design System**:
          - Design Tokens (JSON): {style_tokens_path}
          - Style Guide: {style_guide_path}

          **Layout Inspiration**: {inspiration_path}
          Contains {layout_variants} distinct structural patterns

          **Target**: {target} ({target_type})

          ## 🔄 Generation Steps (for each layout 1..{layout_variants})

          **1. Read Inspiration**
          - Load: {inspiration_path}
          - Apply layout N pattern

          **2. Read Design Tokens**
          - Load: {style_tokens_path}
          - Parse JSON structure and extract all design token values
          - Understand token categories: colors, typography, spacing, shadows, borders, etc.

          **3. Generate HTML Structure**
          - Complete HTML5 document (<!DOCTYPE>, <html>, <head>, <body>)
          - Semantic elements: <header>, <nav>, <main>, <section>, <article>, <footer>
          - ARIA attributes: aria-label, role, aria-labelledby
          - Responsive meta: <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
          - Include CSS reference: <link rel="stylesheet" href="{target}-style-{style_id}-layout-N.css">
          - Example: For dashboard-style-1-layout-2.html, use <link rel="stylesheet" href="dashboard-style-1-layout-2.css">

          {IF design_attributes:
          **⚠️ Adapt DOM based on design_attributes:**
          - density='spacious' → Flatter hierarchy
            Example: <main><section class="card"></section></main>
          - density='compact' → Deeper nesting
            Example: <main><div class="grid"><div class="card-wrapper"><section></section></div></div></main>
          - visual_weight='heavy' → Extra wrapper divs for layered effects
            Example: <div class="border-container"><div class="content-wrapper">...</div></div>
          - visual_weight='minimal' → Direct structure, minimal wrappers
            Example: <section class="card">...</section>
          - organic_vs_geometric → Affects alignment patterns and edge structure
          }

          **4. Generate Self-Contained CSS**
          ⚠️ Use design token values DIRECTLY from step 2 - create complete, independent CSS

          **Required Token Usage** (from design-tokens.json):
          - Colors: Use color values for backgrounds, text, borders
          - Typography: Use font-family, font-size, font-weight, line-height values
          - Spacing: Use spacing scale for margins, padding, gaps
          - Borders: Use border-radius, border-width values
          - Shadows: Use box-shadow values
          - Breakpoints: Use breakpoint values for @media queries

          {IF design_attributes:
          **Apply design_attributes to token selection:**
          - density='spacious' → Select larger spacing tokens
          - density='compact' → Select smaller spacing tokens
          - visual_weight='heavy' → Use stronger shadows, add borders
          - visual_weight='minimal' → Use subtle/no shadows
          - formality → Affects typography choices and structure
          - organic_vs_geometric → Affects border-radius and alignment
          }

          **CSS Structure**:
          - Complete styling: colors, typography, layout, spacing, effects
          - Responsive design: Mobile-first with breakpoint-based @media
          - Self-contained: No external dependencies or var() references

          **5. Write Files IMMEDIATELY**
          - Output paths:
            - HTML: {base_path}/prototypes/{target}-style-{style_id}-layout-N.html
            - CSS: {base_path}/prototypes/{target}-style-{style_id}-layout-N.css
          - Write after generating each layout (do NOT accumulate)
          - Do NOT return content as text

          ## ✅ Success Criteria
          - [ ] Generated exactly {layout_variants × 2} files
          - [ ] All HTML includes correct CSS file reference (matching filename pattern)
          - [ ] All CSS uses design token values directly (self-contained, no var() references)
          - [ ] CSS fully embodies the style's design tokens (colors, typography, spacing, effects)
          - [ ] {IF design_attributes: 'HTML structure adapts to design_attributes' ELSE: 'HTML follows layout inspiration'}
          - [ ] Layouts are structurally distinct (different grids/regions, not just CSS tweaks)
          - [ ] Files written to filesystem (not returned as text)

Error Handling

Pre-execution Checks

• No design systems found: Error - Run /workflow:ui-design:consolidate first
• Invalid target names: Extract from synthesis-specification.md or error with validation message
• Missing design-space-analysis.json: WARN only - generation continues with basic structure
• Unsupported target type: Error if target_type not in ["page", "component"]

Phase-Specific Errors

• Agent execution errors (Phase 2): Report details, identify which target × style agent failed
• Invalid design-tokens.json: Check JSON format and structure
• Missing files (Phase 2.5): Indicates agent failed to write - review agent output logs
• MCP search errors (Phase 1.5): Check network connectivity, retry search
• Preview generation errors (Phase 3): Check script exists, permissions

Recovery Strategies

• Partial generation: If some target-style agents succeed, you still have those prototypes
• Retry single combination: Can re-run targeting failed target × style combination
• Missing design_attributes: Generation works without them - just less style-aware
• Permission errors: Run chmod +x ~/.claude/scripts/ui-generate-preview-v2.sh

Key Features

1. 🚀 Target-Style-Centric Batch Generation Each agent handles L layouts for one target × one style with component isolation

2. 🎯 Component Isolation Tasks completely independent, preventing cross-component interference

3. 🎨 Style-Aware Structure Adaptation HTML DOM adapts based on design_attributes (density, visual_weight, organic_vs_geometric)

4. ⚡ Performance Optimized Parallel execution of T×S agents with highly focused scope per agent

5. 💡 Simplified Layout Inspiration Simple text-based research replaces complex JSON planning

6. 🔧 Focused Agent Scope Each agent generates only L layouts, reducing complexity and improving quality

7. 🎯 Self-Contained CSS Generation Agents read design-tokens.json and create independent CSS with direct token values (no var() references)

8. 🌐 Interactive Visualization Full-featured compare.html with matrix grid

9. ✅ Production-Ready Output Semantic HTML5, ARIA attributes, WCAG 2.2 compliant

Integration Points

• Input: Per-style design-tokens.json; design-space-analysis.json (optional); targets + layout-variants
• Output: S×L×T HTML/CSS prototypes with self-contained styling for /workflow:ui-design:update
• Auto Integration: Triggered by /workflow:ui-design:explore-auto
• Backward Compatibility: Works without design-space-analysis.json
