UXDOPS-2843: Add /ux-design workflow for UX design and implementation handoff#108adalton wants to merge 2 commits into
Conversation
…andoff Adds the ux-design workflow: ingest → research → prototype → evaluate → handoff → revise → publish → respond. Produces a structured handoff artifact (05-handoff.md) containing component mapping, interaction specs, state enumeration, data annotations, persona-specific views, and acceptance criteria for consumption by the planned ui-design workflow. Key design decisions: - /research is a conditional phase (skippable when researcher has data) - External uxd-workshop skills are optional enrichments, not primary paths, to ensure artifact structure is always consistent for downstream phases - install.sh installs uxd-workshop skills via a single generic path (git clone + symlinks) for all AI tools; scoped to ux-design installs only Based on work from PR #102 by jpuzzo@redhat.com. Co-authored-by: Joe Puzzo <jpuzzo@redhat.com> Assisted-by: Claude claude-sonnet-4-6[1m] <noreply@anthropic.com>
Address code review of the ux-design workflow:
- Drop the /uxd-workshop: plugin namespace everywhere in favor of bare
skill names, matching what install.sh symlinks and the only form that
resolves across Claude Code, Cursor, and Gemini.
- Fix the prototype->evaluate refine loop: stage or synthesize
reviews/summary.md so iteration works at Quick depth.
- Make artifact mirroring explicit, mode-aware, and non-lossy; mirror
rfe-snapshot.md/metadata.json/prototype-summary.yaml/workspace files;
clean up skill scratch (.artifacts/{ID}/, pipeline-report.html) to
honor artifact isolation.
- Locate, read back, and clean up the stray design-handoff output.
- Add an evaluation-input production step + fail-loud gate; require
screenshots at Standard/Full depth for uxd-evaluate-design-heuristics.
- Add an S1-S4 -> Critical/Major/Minor/Cosmetic crosswalk.
- Wire the provenance contract for 05-handoff.md to match prd/design:
per-workflow ORIGIN_PHASE (ux-design originates in handoff), capture on
handoff/revise/respond, render footer on publish/respond. Add tests.
- Add the ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR} shim (fail loud) for script-backed skills.

WalkthroughAdds the ChangesUX Design Workflow
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to This PR adds a multi-stage UX design workflow, but the current version still has unresolved security and correctness issues: repository- and user-derived values may alter shell commands or paths, installed skills can be silently shadowed, workflow artifacts can be lost or misplaced, and phase gates can either block valid work or bypass required approval. These issues can produce unsafe execution or incomplete handoffs, so the PR is not merge-ready until the major findings are fixed or explicitly accepted.

Inline comments:
In `@_shared/scripts/provenance.py`:
- Line 524: Update argument validation after parsing in the provenance CLI to
validate the selected phase against a per-workflow phase map, rejecting handoff
for prd and design while preserving valid workflow-phase combinations. Use the
existing workflow and phase argument handling around the choices declaration,
and ensure invalid combinations are rejected before writing provenance events.
- Around line 72-77: Update origin_untracked_note to avoid claiming template
verification was absent for ux-design; use workflow-specific wording or neutral
phase-history text for that workflow while preserving existing messages
elsewhere. Add a footer test covering the revise-first ux-design case and
asserting the corrected text.
- Around line 26-40: Update the version metadata in prd/SKILL.md and
design/SKILL.md to 0.8.1, and in ux-design/SKILL.md to 0.1.1, keeping all other
workflow content unchanged.
In `@install.sh`:
- Around line 187-188: Update the skill-linking logic around ln -sfn to inspect
${skills_dir}/${skill_name} first; if it exists and is not a symbolic link,
print an error and terminate before creating the link. Preserve normal
replacement behavior for existing symlinks and the current pinned bare-name link
target.
In `@ux-design/guidelines.md`:
- Around line 55-70: Update the workflow guidelines to require all significant
UX-design outputs be persisted under .artifacts/ux-design/{context}/ and to
prohibit reading or writing any other workflow’s private artifact directory.
Place these rules in the general workflow or artifact-handling guidance so they
apply to every phase, rather than relying only on the controller’s artifact
table.
In `@ux-design/README.md`:
- Around line 36-45: Update the workflow documentation in the README’s phase
table and artifact tree to include the publish outputs created by the publish
workflow: .artifacts/ux-design/{issue-key}/06-pr-description.md and
publish-metadata.json. Ensure the README documents the workflow’s .artifacts/
output path and all implemented publish artifacts, without changing unrelated
phase descriptions.
In `@ux-design/skills/controller.md`:
- Around line 152-157: Update the `/prototype` requirement in the phase table to
make `02-research.md` conditional: require it when `/research` was run, or
otherwise require explicit confirmation that validated research data is
available, while preserving the direct `/ingest` to `/prototype` path when
research is skipped.
- Around line 204-212: Update the Context Management section to prohibit
spawning or executing a subagent for a later phase without the required human
phase-gate approval; limit subagents to work within the current phase unless the
user explicitly authorizes advancement. Preserve the existing context-loading
requirements for the current phase.
In `@ux-design/skills/evaluate.md`:
- Around line 83-87: Update the Standalone HTML instructions to launch the local
http.server as a tracked background process, retain its process identifier, and
stop that specific server after the evaluation skill completes; keep the
existing prototype directory and URL requirements unchanged.
In `@ux-design/skills/handoff.md`:
- Around line 52-67: Update the cleanup step after assembling 05-handoff.md to
move the exact raw output file discovered in Step 1, preserving either the .md
or .json extension, instead of assuming a Markdown filename. Keep the existing
destination namespace and stop/report if the discovered file cannot be found.
- Around line 27-29: Update the artifact prerequisite in the handoff
instructions to read 02-research.md only when available, allowing the
01-discovery.md fallback when /research is skipped. Require the handoff to
explicitly record that formal research was skipped in that workflow.
In `@ux-design/skills/ingest.md`:
- Around line 50-51: Update the external-operation failure guidance in the
ingest skill to follow the controller’s fail-loud policy: stop the workflow,
report the exact Jira or codebase error, offer retry, skip, or escalation
options, and wait for the researcher’s decision before continuing. If any
failures remain non-fatal, explicitly identify and classify them.
In `@ux-design/skills/prototype.md`:
- Around line 143-191: Update the prototype mirror contract and output tree to
include reviews/summary.md, copying it from .artifacts/{ID}/reviews/summary.md
to 03-prototype/reviews/summary.md and preserving it through refinement cleanup
and recreation. Ensure the documentation identifies this file as a required
canonical workflow output without changing the existing mode-specific mirror
rules.
In `@ux-design/skills/publish.md`:
- Around line 78-87: Apply one consistent safe shell-argument policy across the
affected command blocks: validate branch, base branch, release, feature,
repository, title, PR, and handoff-path values with appropriate allowlists,
reject traversal or invalid input, and pass all values as safely quoted
arguments. Update ux-design/skills/publish.md lines 78-87 and 139-147, and
ux-design/skills/respond.md lines 32-38 and 80-105; preserve the existing
workflow while preventing command alteration and path traversal.
In `@ux-design/skills/research.md`:
- Around line 14-16: Update the research prerequisite flow in the research skill
to accept validated researcher-provided equivalent problem framing in addition
to .artifacts/ux-design/{issue-key}/01-discovery.md; only instruct the
researcher to run /ingest and stop when neither the artifact nor an equivalent
framing is available, keeping it consistent with the controller skill.
- Around line 35-45: Update the “AI-Accessible Research” section to define
behavior when research tools are unavailable or searches produce no usable
results: record the limitation in 02-research.md, prohibit fabricated findings,
and explicitly state whether the phase stops and reports the limitation or
continues with no-data results.
In `@ux-design/skills/respond.md`:
- Around line 70-108: Update Step 4 in the respond workflow to branch on whether
the handoff changed: when Step 3 reports “Handoff change needed: No,” post
approved clarification replies only and skip repository copy, provenance,
staging, commit, and push operations; retain the existing repository update flow
only when handoff content changed.

**/skills/*.md: Phase skill review (ai-workflows conventions):
- Maximum 10 steps per skill invocation — flag if exceeded
(cognitive load / context window risk for AI agents)- Main steps must be numbered sequentially: no gaps, no
duplicates. Sub-steps (e.g., Step 1a) are allowed ONLY for
conditional branches off a parent step — never as a way to
insert a new main step without renumbering- Internal cross-references (e.g., "see Step 4") must point to
correct step numbers- No step should depend on output from a later step
- Synthesis tasks (summarization, assessment, verdict) must NOT
be buried after heavy per-item processing — they degrade in
long contexts- controller.md must reference sibling skills as phase-name.md
(not skills/phase-name.md) — relative to its own directory- Skills referencing _shared/ resources must use the correct
relative path depth (e.g., ../../_shared/recipes/self-review-gate.md
from skills/)- Failure modes must be documented: what to do when prerequisites
are missing, when zero results are returned, when tools are
unavailable- Escalation criteria must be clear: when to stop and ask the user
- Instructions must be unambiguous — an AI agent reading
top-to-bottom should produce correct output on the first try- If the file has YAML frontmatter, name and description are required

File: README.md:140-142
Timestamp: 2026-05-25T17:11:32.207Z
Learning: In markdown files under the repo’s skill/command areas (e.g., `skills/**` and `commands/**`), any references to other files on disk (like links/includes pointing to other skill/command markdown such as `../skills/controller.md` or `commands/*.md`) must use relative paths—never absolute paths (no leading `/` or fully-qualified filesystem paths). This ensures the references remain symlink-safe and resolve correctly at runtime. Do not apply this rule to human-facing prose docs like `README.md`/`CONTRIBUTING.md`; when those documents intentionally distinguish user-level vs project-level install locations, keep the absolute user-level paths (e.g., `~/.cursor/commands/`) as written so the distinction is clear.

Learning: In flightctl/ai-workflows documentation, treat backtick-quoted workflow path templates that include placeholders (e.g., `commands/{command}.md`, `skills/{phase}.md`) as runtime-dispatch/template instructions for AI agents, not literal Markdown links. When these appear, do not flag them as dangling/invalid references solely because the braces indicate substitution of an invoked command or phase name at runtime.

Timestamp: 2026-06-15T15:50:50.503Z
Learning: In flightctl/ai-workflows, treat `SKILL.md` as a size-constrained document: keep it at or under 30 lines. If a `SKILL.md` already exceeds 30 lines but was not changed by the current PR (a known pre-existing issue), don’t require fixing it as part of the PR. If the PR does modify a too-long `SKILL.md`, refactor it into a thin entry point (e.g., move bulk content to smaller companion docs and leave only a brief overview/links) so the `SKILL.md` itself stays within the 30-line limit.

Timestamp: 2026-04-16T10:39:50.418Z
Learning: In flightctl/ai-workflows workflow skill files (e.g., kcs/bugfix/prd/design skills), do not require sanitization/normalization of free-form user-supplied identifier placeholders (such as {issue-key} or {issue-number}) when they’re used to construct artifact paths like `.artifacts/{workflow}/{identifier}/`. This is intentional because these workflows run in human-supervised IDE sessions where the user provides the values interactively and confirms the output. Therefore, do not flag missing sanitization/normalization of these identifiers as a security or correctness issue during review for these skill files.

Timestamp: 2026-04-12T00:25:51.234Z
Learning: In flightctl/ai-workflows skill markdown files, treat path references as two categories:
1) For cross-document markdown links (e.g., links to other .md files like ../skills/controller.md or ../../templates/design.md), use paths relative to the current markdown file’s location so links work under symlinks.
2) For runtime artifact paths used as prose instructions to the AI agent (e.g., .artifacts/design/{issue-number}/publish-metadata.json or .artifacts/prd/config.json), keep them repo-root-relative (start with .artifacts/). Do not convert these artifact paths to be relative to the skill file directory (e.g., don’t rewrite to ../../.artifacts/...), because the AI resolves them from the repo root.

Reject existing non-symlink skill directories.
If ${skills_dir}/${skill_name} already exists as a directory, ln -sfn creates a nested link and leaves the existing skill active. In a project-scoped install, repository-provided skill content can then shadow the pinned UXD skill. Detect a non-symlink target and stop with an error before linking.
Proposed fix

skill_name="$(basename "$skill_dir")"
- ln -sfn "$skill_dir" "${skills_dir}/${skill_name}"
+ local target="${skills_dir}/${skill_name}"

Declare artifact persistence and isolation in the workflow guidelines.
ux-design/guidelines.md does not state that all significant outputs must be saved under .artifacts/ux-design/{context}/, or that this workflow must never read or write another workflow's private artifact directory. Add both rules so every phase follows the repository contract. The controller's artifact table alone does not replace this guideline requirement.
As per coding guidelines, **/guidelines.md requires artifact persistence and artifact isolation.

| **Skill metadata** — the files at the `{ID}` root (copy each to the | ||

|
|
||
| - `rfe-snapshot.md` — **always produced** (the skill's Step 3 saves it for | ||
| every source, including the Figma-link and feature-description fallbacks, not | ||
| only Jira) and a **required** input to `uxd-prototype-evaluate`. Never skip it. | ||
| - `metadata.json` — always produced; also required by `uxd-prototype-evaluate`. | ||
| - `user-stories.json` | ||
| - `prototype-summary.yaml` — the skill's designated machine-readable summary | ||
| for downstream skills; mirror it even though `uxd-prototype-evaluate` doesn't | ||
| require it today | ||
|
|
||
| In **workspace mode** the prototype lives in the codebase, not in | ||
| `.artifacts/{ID}/prototype/`, so the `prototype/` subdir may be absent. In that | ||
| case also mirror the two workspace-mode files (both consumed by | ||
| `uxd-prototype-evaluate` in workspace mode) and record where the integrated | ||
| prototype lives: | ||
|
|
||
| - `changeset.md` → `03-prototype/changeset.md` | ||
| - `workspace-analysis.json` → `03-prototype/workspace-analysis.json` | ||
| - Note the in-codebase location of the integrated prototype in | ||
| `prototype-notes.md` | ||
|
|
||
| "Omit any the skill did not produce" applies only to the **mode-specific** files | ||
| (the `prototype/` subdir and `changeset.md`/`workspace-analysis.json` are | ||
| mutually exclusive by mode). `rfe-snapshot.md`, `metadata.json`, and | ||
| `user-stories.json` are produced in **every** mode and every source, so always | ||
| mirror them; if one is missing, the skill run was incomplete, so stop and report | ||
| rather than proceeding. Of these, `rfe-snapshot.md` and `metadata.json` are | ||
| **required inputs** to `uxd-prototype-evaluate`; `user-stories.json` is mirrored | ||
| for completeness (no downstream skill reads it today). Record the skill's `{ID}` | ||
| in `prototype-notes.md` (see Output) — `/evaluate` needs it to re-invoke | ||
| `uxd-prototype-evaluate` against the same files. | ||
|
|
||
| **Clean up skill scratch (artifact isolation).** The skill's native | ||
| `.artifacts/{ID}/` is a sibling of our namespace, *outside* | ||
| `.artifacts/ux-design/`, and nothing else cleans it up. Once the canonical | ||
| copies are mirrored above, remove `.artifacts/{ID}/` so it does not leak | ||
| outside the workflow's private namespace (`AGENTS.md` artifact-isolation rule). | ||
| `/evaluate` and refinement recreate it on demand from the mirror when needed. | ||
|
|
||
| The mirror set above is what `uxd-prototype-evaluate` and `refine --mode=auto` | ||
| consume; it intentionally omits the skill's `decisions/` directory | ||
| (`decisions.json`, decision pages, `strategy-brief.md`) and `verification.json`, | ||
| which only `refine --mode=decide` reads. Because this workflow recommends `auto` | ||
| for refinements (Step 1), that history is not needed across the mirror round-trip. | ||
| If a researcher deliberately runs a `decide`-mode refinement, add `decisions/` | ||
| and `verification.json` to the mirror set so the decision history survives the | ||
| `.artifacts/{ID}/` cleanup. |

Mirror reviews/summary.md as part of the canonical prototype state.
The refinement flow reads .artifacts/{ID}/reviews/summary.md. The evaluation flow mirrors that file to 03-prototype/reviews/summary.md, but Step 3 does not include it in the mirror set or output tree. A Quick refinement can lose the summary when native scratch is removed, and later refinement cannot recover the findings.
Add reviews/summary.md to the mirror contract and output tree.
As per coding guidelines, significant workflow outputs must persist under .artifacts/{workflow-name}/{context}/.

| While the researcher conducts interviews or observations, the AI performs | |
| desk research that doesn't require human participants: | |
| - Analyze support tickets or bug reports related to the problem area | |
| - Review forum posts, community discussions, or feedback channels | |
| - Search for published usability studies on similar products | |
| - Synthesize existing internal research documents | |
| Cite all sources. Flag confidence levels (HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW). | |
| If a tool is unavailable or returns zero usable results, report the | |
| limitation, record it in `02-research.md`, and do not fabricate findings. |

Research” section to define behavior when research tools are unavailable or
searches produce no usable results: record the limitation in 02-research.md,
prohibit fabricated findings, and explicitly state whether the phase stops and
reports the limitation or continues with no-data results.

Skip the repository update when no handoff content changed.
Step 3 supports Handoff change needed: No, but Step 4 always copies the file and runs git add, git commit, and git push. Clarification-only feedback can therefore fail at git commit because there are no changes, or create an unnecessary commit.
Add a conditional branch: post approved clarification replies without repository operations, and run provenance plus commit steps only when the handoff changed.

/ux-designworkflow: ingest → research → prototype → evaluate →handoff → revise → publish → respond. It takes a feature request through
discovery, user research, prototyping, and heuristic evaluation to produce a
validated design handoff artifact (
05-handoff.md) — containing componentmapping, interaction specs, state enumeration, data annotations,
persona-specific views, and acceptance criteria — for consumption by the planned
ui-designworkflow.Based on the core content from #102 by @jpuzz0, plus the following enhancements:
/uxd-workshop:pluginnamespace in favor of bare skill names, matching what
install.shsymlinks andthe only form that resolves across Claude Code, Cursor, and Gemini.
reviews/summary.mdso iteration works at Quick depth.skill layout (standalone and workspace mode), locates/reads/cleans up the stray
design-handoff output, and cleans up skill scratch to honor artifact isolation.
captures screenshots (required at Standard/Full depth) rather than running the
eval skills against a Figma link or from memory; adds an S1–S4 →
Critical/Major/Minor/Cosmetic crosswalk.
05-handoff.md. Matchesprd/design: per-workfloworigin phase, capture on handoff/revise/respond, render footer on
publish/respond.
${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}shim (fail loud) for the script-backed skills undernon-Claude runtimes.
The
uxd-workshopskills are a hard dependency;install.shinstalls themAI-agnostically (git clone + bare symlinks) for all supported AI tools.
Supersedes #102.
