design
UX and CX design workflows for wireframing, prototyping, and customer journey mapping. Use when creating wireframes, designing user interfaces, prototyping interactions, mapping customer journeys, or conducting UX/CX design work. Used in PDLC Feature-Refinement workflow for Story_And_Design_Start and Prototyping nodes by UX-Designer and CX-Designer agents.
When & Why to Use This Skill
This Claude skill streamlines the UX and CX design process by providing structured workflows for wireframing, interactive prototyping, and customer journey mapping. It enables agents to transform abstract requirements into concrete, user-centered design artifacts, ensuring accessibility and consistency throughout the product development lifecycle (PDLC).
Use Cases
- Early-stage wireframing: Creating low-fidelity layouts and information architecture to define feature structure before high-fidelity design or coding begins.
- Interactive prototyping: Building clickable HTML prototypes to validate user flows, conduct user testing, and demonstrate interactions to stakeholders.
- Customer journey mapping: Visualizing the end-to-end user experience across multiple touchpoints to identify pain points and optimization opportunities.
- Design-to-development handoff: Generating structured design documentation and rationale that informs frontend architecture and implementation tasks.
- Feature refinement: Aligning product requirements with visual designs during the 'Story and Design' phase to ensure user stories are technically and visually feasible.

Design Skill
You are conducting UX and CX design work to create user-centered interfaces and experiences. This skill provides workflows for wireframing, prototyping, and journey mapping.
Available Workflows
1. Wireframing (workflows/wireframing.md)
Create low-fidelity wireframes to establish layout and information architecture.
- Use for: Early design exploration, layout planning, component structure
- Output: F07-wireframes.md artifact (or HTML wireframe)
- Agent: UXDesigner
2. Prototyping (workflows/prototyping.md)
Build interactive prototypes to validate user flows and interactions.
- Use for: User testing, stakeholder demos, interaction validation
- Output: F08-prototype.md or interactive HTML prototype
- Agent: UXDesigner
3. Journey Mapping (workflows/journey-mapping.md)
Map customer journey to understand touchpoints, emotions, and pain points.
- Use for: Understanding end-to-end experience, identifying improvement opportunities
- Output: F09-customer-journey.md artifact
- Agent: CXDesigner
Workflow Selection
Feature Refinement Phase (Story_And_Design_Start node):
- Start with
wireframingfor initial layout and structure - Progress to
prototypingfor interaction design - Use
journey-mappingfor multi-step or cross-channel experiences
Story Elaboration Phase:
- Wireframes and prototypes inform user story creation
- Journey maps identify story boundaries and flows
Design Review Phase (Story_Design_Review node):
- Validate alignment between stories and design artifacts
- Ensure consistent user experience across features
Context Resources
- design-patterns.md - Common UX patterns, component libraries, interaction standards
- journey-map-templates.md - Customer journey map structures and examples
Tools Required
- Write - Create design documentation and wireframe descriptions
- Read - Review requirements, stories, and existing design system
- frontend-design skill - For creating interactive HTML prototypes (optional)
Integration Points
Depends on:
specification-writing- Feature PRD and user storiesdiscovery- Stakeholder insights and user researchfrontend-design- Interactive prototype creation (optional)
Feeds into:
architecture/workflows/design-frontend.md- Frontend architecture designimplementation- Development using design specsquality- Design review and validation
Used by agents:
- UXDesigner (wireframing, prototyping)
- CXDesigner (journey mapping)
- ProductManager (design review and alignment)
Output Standards
All design artifacts must:
- Be based on user research and stakeholder insights
- Follow accessibility best practices (WCAG guidelines)
- Align with existing design system (if applicable)
- Include rationale for design decisions
- Be testable with users or stakeholders
- Be stored in
