Fluxwing Component Creator

Included with Lifetime
$97 forever

Create uxscii components with ASCII art and structured metadata when user wants to create, build, or design UI components. Use when working with .uxm files, when user mentions .uxm components, or when creating buttons, inputs, cards, forms, modals, or navigation.

What this skill does


# 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:**

1. **Single component request**:
   - "Create a submit button"
   - "I need a card component"
   - Proceed with single-component workflow (Steps 2-4)

2. **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:

```typescript
// 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:

```typescript
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:

```typescript
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 exa
