-# UI Design Workflow Guide
-
-## Overview
-
-The UI Design Workflow System is a comprehensive suite of 11 autonomous commands designed to transform intent (prompts), references (images/URLs), or existing code into functional, production-ready UI prototypes. It employs a **Separation of Concerns** architecture, treating Style (visual tokens), Structure (layout templates), and Motion (animation tokens) as independent, mix-and-match components.
-
-## Command Taxonomy
-
-### 1. Orchestrators (High-Level Workflows)
-
-These commands automate end-to-end processes by chaining specialized sub-commands.
-
-- **`/workflow:ui-design:explore-auto`**: For creating *new* designs. Generates multiple style and layout variants from a prompt to explore design directions.
-- **`/workflow:ui-design:imitate-auto`**: For *replicating* existing designs. Creates design systems from local reference files (images, code) or text prompts.
-
-### 2. Core Extractors (Specialized Analysis)
-
-Agents dedicated to analyzing specific aspects of design.
-
-- **`/workflow:ui-design:style-extract`**: Extracts visual tokens (colors, typography, spacing, shadows) into `design-tokens.json`.
-- **`/workflow:ui-design:layout-extract`**: Extracts DOM structure and CSS layout rules into `layout-templates.json`.
-- **`/workflow:ui-design:animation-extract`**: Extracts motion patterns into `animation-tokens.json`.
-
-### 3. Input & Capture Utilities
-
-Tools for gathering raw data for analysis.
-
-- **`/workflow:ui-design:capture`**: High-speed batch screenshot capture for multiple URLs.
-- **`/workflow:ui-design:explore-layers`**: Interactive, depth-controlled capture (e.g., capturing modals, dropdowns, shadow DOM).
-- **`/workflow:ui-design:import-from-code`**: Bootstraps a design system by analyzing existing CSS/JS/HTML files.
-
-### 4. Assemblers & Integrators
-
-Tools for combining components and integrating results.
-
-- **`/workflow:ui-design:generate`**: Pure assembler that combines Layout Templates + Design Tokens into HTML/CSS prototypes.
-- **`/workflow:ui-design:update`**: Synchronizes generated design artifacts with the main project session for implementation planning.
-

-
-## Common Workflow Patterns
-
-### Workflow A: Exploratory Design (New Concepts)
-
-**Goal:** Create multiple design options for a new project from a text description.
-
-**Primary Command:** `explore-auto`
-
-**Steps:**
-
-1. **Initiate**: User runs `/workflow:ui-design:explore-auto --prompt "Modern fintech dashboard" --style-variants 3`
-2. **Style Extraction**: System generates 3 distinct visual design systems based on the prompt.
-3. **Layout Extraction**: System researches and generates responsive layout templates for a dashboard.
-4. **Assembly**: System generates a matrix of prototypes (3 styles × 1 layout = 3 prototypes).
-5. **Review**: User views `compare.html` to select the best direction.
-
-**Example (Non-Interactive - Default):**
-
-```bash
-/workflow:ui-design:explore-auto \
-  --prompt "Modern SaaS landing page with hero, features, pricing sections" \
-  --style-variants 3 \
-  --layout-variants 2 \
-  --session WFS-001
-```
-
-**Output:**
-- `design-tokens-v1.json`, `design-tokens-v2.json`, `design-tokens-v3.json` (3 style variants)
-- `layout-templates-v1.json`, `layout-templates-v2.json` (2 layout variants)
-- 6 HTML prototypes (3 × 2 combinations)
-- `compare.html` for side-by-side comparison
-
-**Example (Interactive Mode):**
-
-```bash
-/workflow:ui-design:explore-auto \
-  --prompt "Modern SaaS landing page with hero, features, pricing sections" \
-  --style-variants 5 \
-  --layout-variants 4 \
-  --interactive \
-  --session WFS-001
-```
-
-**Interactive Flow:**
-1. System generates 5 style concepts
-2. **User selects** 2-3 preferred styles (multi-select)
-3. System generates 4 layout concepts
-4. **User selects** 2 preferred layouts (multi-select)
-5. System generates only 4-6 final prototypes (selected combinations)
-

-
-### Workflow B: Design Replication (Imitation)
-
-**Goal:** Create a design system and prototypes based on existing local references.
-
-**Primary Command:** `imitate-auto`
-
-**Steps:**
-
-1. **Initiate**: User runs `/workflow:ui-design:imitate-auto --input "design-refs/*.png"` with local reference files
-2. **Input Detection**: System detects input type (images, code files, or text)
-3. **Extraction**: System extracts a unified design system (style, layout, animation) from the references.
-4. **Assembly**: System creates prototypes using the extracted system.
-
-**Example:**
-
-```bash
-# Using reference images
-/workflow:ui-design:imitate-auto \
-  --input "design-refs/*.png" \
-  --session WFS-002
-
-# Or importing from existing code
-/workflow:ui-design:imitate-auto \
-  --input "./src/components" \
-  --session WFS-002
-```
-
-**Output:**
-- `design-tokens.json` (unified style system)
-- `layout-templates.json` (page structures)
-- HTML prototypes based on the input references
-

-
-### Workflow C: Code-First Bootstrap
-
-**Goal:** Create a design system from an existing codebase.
-
-**Primary Command:** `import-from-code`
-
-**Steps:**
-
-1. **Initiate**: User runs `/workflow:ui-design:import-from-code --base-path ./src`
-2. **Analysis**: Parallel agents analyze CSS, JS, and HTML to find tokens, layouts, and animations.
-3. **Reporting**: Generates completeness reports and initial token files.
-4. **Supplement (Optional)**: Run `style-extract` or `layout-extract` to fill gaps identified in the reports.
-
-**Example:**
-
-```bash
-/workflow:ui-design:import-from-code \
-  --base-path ./src/components \
-  --session WFS-003
-```
-
-**Output:**
-- `design-tokens.json` (extracted from CSS variables, theme files)
-- `layout-templates.json` (extracted from component structures)
-- `completeness-report.md` (gaps and recommendations)
-- `import-summary.json` (statistics and findings)
-

-
-## Architecture & Best Practices
-
-### Separation of Concerns
-
-**Always keep design tokens separate from layout templates:**
-
-- `design-tokens.json` (Style) - Colors, typography, spacing, shadows
-- `layout-templates.json` (Structure) - DOM hierarchy, CSS layout rules
-- `animation-tokens.json` (Motion) - Transitions, keyframes, timing functions
-
-
-
-### Token-First CSS
-
-Generated CSS should primarily use CSS custom properties:
-
-```css
-/* Good - Token-based */
-.button {
-  background: var(--color-primary);
-  padding: var(--spacing-md);
-  border-radius: var(--radius-md);
-}
-
-/* Avoid - Hardcoded */
-.button {
-  background: #3b82f6;
-  padding: 16px;
-  border-radius: 8px;
-}
-```
-
-### Style-Centric Batching
-
-For high-volume generation:
-- Group tasks by style to minimize context switching
-- Use parallel generation with multiple targets
-- Reuse existing layout inspirations
-
-### Input Quality Guidelines
-
-**For Prompts:**
-- Specify the desired *vibe* (e.g., "minimalist, high-contrast")
-- Specify the *targets* (e.g., "dashboard, settings page")
-- Include functional requirements (e.g., "responsive, mobile-first")
-
-**For Local References:**
-- Use high-quality reference images (PNG, JPG)
-- Organize files in accessible directories
-- For code imports, ensure files are properly structured (CSS, JS, HTML)
-

-
-## Advanced Usage
-
-### Multi-Session Workflows
-
-You can run UI design workflows within an existing workflow session:
-
-```bash
-# 1. Start a workflow session
-/workflow:session:start --new
-
-# 2. Run exploratory design
-/workflow:ui-design:explore-auto --prompt "E-commerce checkout flow" --session <session-id>
-
-# 3. Update main session with design artifacts
-/workflow:ui-design:update --session <session-id> --selected-prototypes "v1,v2"
-```
-
-### Combining Workflows
-
-**Example: Imitation + Custom Extraction**
-
-```bash
-# 1. Import design from local references
-/workflow:ui-design:imitate-auto --input "design-refs/*.png"
-
-# 2. Extract additional layouts and generate prototypes
-/workflow:ui-design:layout-extract --targets "new-page-1,new-page-2"
-/workflow:ui-design:generate
-```
-
-### Deep Interactive Capture
-
-For complex UIs with overlays, modals, or dynamic content:
-
-```bash
-/workflow:ui-design:explore-layers \
-  --url https://complex-app.com \
-  --depth 3 \
-  --session WFS-005
-```

-## Troubleshooting
-
-| Issue | Likely Cause | Resolution |
-|-------|--------------|------------|
-| **Missing Design Tokens** | `style-extract` failed or wasn't run | Run `/workflow:ui-design:style-extract` manually or check logs |
-| **Inaccurate Layouts** | Complex DOM structure not captured | Use `--urls` in `layout-extract` for Chrome DevTools analysis |
-| **Empty Screenshots** | Anti-bot measures or timeout | Use `explore-layers` interactive mode or increase timeout |
-| **Generation Stalls** | Too many concurrent tasks | System defaults to max 6 parallel tasks; check resources |
-| **Integration Failures** | Session ID mismatch or missing markers | Ensure `--session <id>` matches active workflow session |
-| **Low Quality Tokens** | Insufficient reference material | Provide multiple reference images/URLs for better token extraction |
-| **Inconsistent Styles** | Multiple token files without merge | Use single unified `design-tokens.json` or explicit variants |
