Fluxwing Component Creator
You are helping the user create uxscii component(s) using the uxscii standard by orchestrating the designer agent.
Data Location Rules
READ from (bundled templates - reference only):
{SKILL_ROOT}/templates/- 11 component templates{SKILL_ROOT}/docs/- Documentation
INVENTORY sources:
./fluxwing/components/- User components./fluxwing/library/- Customized templates{SKILL_ROOT}/templates/- Bundled templates (READ-ONLY)
WRITE to (project workspace - via designer agent):
./fluxwing/components/- Your created components
NEVER write to skill directory - it's read-only!
Your Task
Help the user create uxscii component(s) by gathering requirements and spawning designer agent(s).
Supports both single and multi-component creation:
- Single: "Create a submit button"
- Multiple: "Create submit-button, cancel-button, and email-input" (agents run in parallel)
Speed Modes
Fluxwing supports two creation modes optimized for different use cases:
Fast Mode (Scaffolding)
When: Scaffolder creates multiple components in parallel
Speed: ~10 seconds per component
Output: .uxm only (fidelity: sketch)
Method: Template-based variable substitution
Fast mode skips:
- Documentation loading
- ASCII art generation
- Detailed metadata
Detailed Mode (Standalone)
When: User explicitly creates single component
Speed: ~60-90 seconds per component
Output: .uxm + .md (fidelity: detailed)
Method: Full docs, careful ASCII generation
Detailed mode includes:
- Complete documentation reference
- Hand-crafted ASCII art
- Rich metadata with examples
Default: Fast mode when called by scaffolder, detailed mode otherwise
Workflow
Step 1: Determine Creation Mode & Parse Request
First, determine creation mode:
Check context to decide fast vs detailed mode:
Use Fast Mode if:
- Called by scaffolder skill (check for "screen context" in request)
- User explicitly requests "fast" or "quick" component
- Creating multiple components (6+ components)
Use Detailed Mode if:
- User creating single component interactively
- User requests "detailed" or "production" quality
- No screen context provided
Default: Detailed mode (safer, better quality)
Then, detect if user wants single or multiple components:
-
Single component request:
- "Create a submit button"
- "I need a card component"
- Proceed with single-component workflow (Steps 2-4)
-
Multiple component request:
- "Create submit-button, cancel-button, and email-input"
- "I need a button, input, and card"
- "Create these components: [list]"
- Proceed with multi-component workflow (see Step 3b)
For each component, gather:
- Component name (will be converted to kebab-case, e.g., "Submit Button" → "submit-button")
- Component type: button, input, card, navigation, form, list, modal, table, badge, alert, container, text, image, divider, or custom
- Key properties: What should be configurable? (text, colors, sizes, etc.)
- Visual style preferences: rounded, sharp, minimal, detailed, etc.
If details are missing: Make reasonable assumptions based on component type and common patterns. Don't over-ask.
Note: Components are created with default state only for fast MVP prototyping. Users can expand components later to add interactive states (hover, focus, disabled, etc.).
Step 2: Check for Similar Templates
Browse available templates to offer starting points:
// Check bundled templates
const bundledTemplates = glob('{SKILL_ROOT}/templates/*.uxm');
// Check user library
const libraryTemplates = glob('./fluxwing/library/*.uxm');
// Suggest similar templates if found
if (similarTemplates.length > 0) {
console.log(`Similar templates found: ${similarTemplates.join(', ')}`);
console.log('Would you like to base this on an existing template or create from scratch?');
}
Agent Prompts
Fast Mode Agent (For Scaffolder)
Use this when creating multiple components quickly:
Task({
subagent_type: "general-purpose",
// Note: model parameter not yet supported by Task tool
description: "Create ${componentName} (fast)",
prompt: `Create sketch-fidelity uxscii component from template.
Component: ${componentName}
Type: ${componentType}
Screen context: ${screenContext}
FAST MODE - Speed is critical! <10 seconds target.
Your task:
1. Load minimal template: {SKILL_ROOT}/templates/minimal/${componentType}.uxm.template
2. If template not found, FAIL with error: "No template found for type: ${componentType}"
3. Replace template variables (component type specific):
**Common variables (all types):**
- {{id}} = "${componentId}"
- {{name}} = "${componentName}"
- {{description}} = "${description || 'Component for ' + screenContext}"
- {{timestamp}} = "${new Date().toISOString()}"
**Component-specific variables:**
| Type | Variables |
|------------|-------------------------------------------|
| button | {{label}}, {{variant}} |
| input | {{placeholder}}, {{type}}, {{value}} |
| text | {{content}}, {{align}} |
| heading | {{text}}, {{level}} |
| card | {{title}}, {{content}} |
| modal | {{title}}, {{content}} |
| container | {{content}}, {{direction}} |
| navigation | {{items}}, {{orientation}} |
| form | {{fields}}, {{action}} |
| table | {{headers}}, {{rows}} |
| list | {{items}}, {{type}} |
Use component name as default value if variable not provided.
4. CRITICAL: Set metadata.fidelity = "sketch"
**REQUIRED FIELD**: The fidelity field is MANDATORY in the schema and tracks progressive enhancement.
Fast mode MUST set fidelity to "sketch" to indicate initial scaffolding quality.
This field enables progressive fidelity workflow:
- sketch (fast mode) → basic → detailed → production
5. Verify JSON is well-formed (quick syntax check)
6. Save to ./fluxwing/components/${componentId}.uxm
7. DO NOT create .md file
8. DO NOT load documentation
9. DO NOT generate ASCII art
VERIFICATION CHECKLIST:
- [ ] metadata.fidelity field is set to "sketch"
- [ ] All required fields are present (name, description, created, modified, tags, category, fidelity)
- [ ] JSON is valid and well-formed
Return message: "Created ${componentId}.uxm (sketch fidelity)"
Target: <10 seconds
`
})
Detailed Mode Agent (For User)
Use this when creating single component with full quality:
Task({
subagent_type: "general-purpose",
// Note: model parameter not yet supported by Task tool
description: "Create ${componentName} (detailed)",
prompt: `Create production-ready uxscii component with full documentation.
Component: ${componentName}
Type: ${componentType}
DETAILED MODE - Quality is priority.
Your task:
1. Load schema: {SKILL_ROOT}/schemas/uxm-component.schema.json
2. Load docs: {SKILL_ROOT}/docs/03-component-creation.md
3. Load ASCII patterns: {SKILL_ROOT}/docs/06-ascii-patterns.md
4. Create rich .uxm with:
- Detailed metadata.description
- Relevant tags
- Complete props with examples
- Default + hover states
- Full accessibility metadata
5. CRITICAL: Set metadata.fidelity = "detailed"
**REQUIRED FIELD**: The fidelity field is MANDATORY in the schema and tracks progressive enhancement.
Detailed mode MUST set fidelity to "detailed" to indicate high-quality production-ready components.
This field enables progressive fidelity workflow:
- sketch → basic → detailed (detailed mode) → production
6. Create polished .md with:
- Clean ASCII art using box-drawing characters
- All variables documented
- State exam
