Web Design Wizard
Overview
Generate multiple distinct design styles for a web page in parallel worktrees, letting the user compare and refine before committing to a direction. Core principle: explore divergently, then converge on the best option.
When to Use
- User wants to explore different design styles for a web page
- User asks for design options, visual direction, or style comparison
- User wants multiple implementations to choose from
Do NOT use when:
- User has a specific design already defined → use
saurun:react-tailwind-v4-componentsorfrontend-designdirectly - User wants to modify an existing design, not create new ones

}
Phase 1: Discovery
Use AskUserQuestion to gather context. Batch questions — use up to 4 questions per call. Infer obvious answers from context (e.g., a coffee shop is consumer-facing, probably warm mood).
Gather:
- Project name — detect from package.json or git repo name, confirm with user
- Page type — Landing, Portfolio, Blog, E-commerce, SaaS, Documentation
- Target audience — Professionals, Consumers, Developers, Creative industry
- Mood/feeling — Professional, Playful, Luxury, Minimal, Bold, Warm, Futuristic
- Content language — English, Danish, etc.
- Style preferences/anti-preferences — only if not obvious from above
Skip questions where the answer is obvious from the user's request.
Phase 2: Style Generation
Generate design styles using ui-ux-pro-max:
Default: 4 styles (user can request different count).
For each style:
-
Craft diverse keywords from discovery responses. Combine: page type + audience + mood + unique aesthetic. Ensure variety across all styles.
-
Generate design system: Invoke
ui-ux-pro-maxvia theSkilltool with arguments:"[keywords]" --design-system --persist -p "[ProjectName]" --page "[style-name]"Saves to:design-system/pages/[style-name].mdin current working directory. -
Present to user with: style name, key colors, typography, mood adjectives, and best use case.
Track generated styles to avoid duplicate keywords in refinement rounds.
Phase 3: Refinement (Iterative)
| User Says | Action |
|---|---|
| "Give me N completely different styles" | Generate N NEW styles with different keywords |
| "Give me N more options" | Generate N NEW (avoid previous keywords) |
| "I like X and Y, give me more like X" | Keep X & Y, generate variations of X |
| "Combine styles X and Y" | Generate 1 new blending those aesthetics |
| "Implement X, Y, Z" or "Implement all" | Move to Phase 4 with selections |
Phase 4: Graphics Preference
Before implementation, ask about graphics for all selected styles at once:
Use AskUserQuestion with options:
- "Lots of graphics for all (hero + accent graphics + illustrations)"
- "Minimal graphics for all (hero image only)"
- "Let the design style determine graphics" (Recommended)
- "I want to choose per style"
Only ask per-style if user picks the last option.
Phase 5: Project Setup
Confirm project location
Suggested: designs/[project-name]/ in current working directory.
Ask user to confirm or override.
Create project
mkdir -p [location]- Write
concept.md— see concept-template.md for template. Populate from discovery responses. Only fill fields you have data for — omit sections with no info. - Do NOT run
git init— use the existing repo. Commit project docs to the current branch.
git add designs/[project-name]/concept.md
git commit -m "docs: initialize [project-name] design exploration"
Project structure
[repo-root]/
├── designs/[project-name]/
│ └── concept.md
├── design-system/pages/
│ ├── [style-1].md
│ └── [style-2].md
└── .worktrees/
├── [style-1-branch]/ # React + Vite + TypeScript project
└── [style-2-branch]/
Phase 6: Parallel Implementation
CRITICAL: Spawn ALL implementation agents in a SINGLE message with multiple Task tool calls.
For each selected style, spawn one sub-agent. See implementation-prompt.md for the full prompt template. Replace [absolute-path-to-repo-root] with the actual repo root path so sub-agents can resolve cross-worktree references.
Key points for each sub-agent:
- Use
superpowers:using-git-worktreesto create worktree at.worktrees/[style-name]/ - Create React + Vite + TypeScript project:
npm create vite@latest . -- --template react-ts - Read design spec from
design-system/pages/[style-name].md - Use
Skilltool to invoke:frontend-design,vercel-react-best-practices,copywriting,nano-banana-pro - Generate images per graphics preference
- Build with
npm run buildto verify - Commit all changes
Wait for ALL agents to complete before Phase 7.
Phase 7: Parallel Verification
CRITICAL: Spawn ALL verification agents in a SINGLE message with multiple Task tool calls.
For each implementation, spawn one verification sub-agent. See verification-prompt.md for the full prompt template. Assign ports sequentially (5173, 5174, 5175, ...) and replace [absolute-path-to-repo-root] with the actual path.
Verification checks:
- Dev server starts without errors
- All URLs/links are valid
- Images exist and are properly referenced
- Design spec adherence (color, typography, layout, effects) — score 1-10
- Production build succeeds
After all complete, show comparison summary:
Style 1: [Name] — ✅ All passed — Design: 8.5/10
Style 2: [Name] — ⚠️ 2 broken URLs — Design: 9.0/10
Style 3: [Name] — ❌ Build failed — See report
Recommend best-performing style based on results.
Quick Reference
| Phase | Action | Key Tool |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Discovery | Gather context via AskUserQuestion (batch up to 4) | AskUserQuestion |
| 2. Style Generation | Generate 4 design systems via ui-ux-pro-max | Skill |
| 3. Refinement | Iterate until user selects styles | AskUserQuestion |
| 4. Graphics | Ask graphics preference for selected styles | AskUserQuestion |
| 5. Project Setup | Create concept.md, commit scaffolding | Write, Bash |
| 6. Implementation | Spawn parallel sub-agents per style | Task |
| 7. Verification | Spawn parallel verification agents, show comparison | Task |
Common Mistakes
- Regenerating design specs in sub-agents — design specs are created in Phase 2. Sub-agents READ them, never re-invoke ui-ux-pro-max.
- Sequential sub-agent spawning — Phase 6 and 7 MUST spawn ALL agents in a single message with multiple Task calls. Never one-at-a-time.
- Skipping Graphics Preference — always ask before implementation. Don't assume.
- Using
git add .in worktrees — stage specific paths only to avoid committing node_modules, .env, or OS files. - Identical keywords across styles — track used keywords to ensure diversity. Duplicate keywords produce duplicate designs.
Error Handling
| Error | Recovery |
|---|---|
ui-ux-pro-max script fails | Retry with simpler keywords. If persistent, create design system manually from the style keywords. |
| All styles rejected | Ask user for specific direction: "What did you dislike? Colors? Layout? Overall feel?" |
| Sub-agent skill not found | The agent should use Skill tool to invoke. If skill genuinely missing, skip that enhancement step and note it. |
| Implementation build fails | Fix in worktree, re-run build. Report issue if unfixable. |
