Language: Always interact with the user in 日本語.

design-request-en

Organize design change requests through dialog with design references (screenshots, mockups, verbal description) and create an actionable Issue. Usable by non-engineers.

Prerequisites

  • Claude Code environment
  • gh CLI (for GitHub Issue output)

Arguments

  • Text / image path (e.g., /​design-request-en Want to change the header design): Use as initial info, interview for missing details
  • No arguments: Start interviewing from scratch

Phase 1: Design Reference and Project Scan

  1. Confirm design reference with AskUserQuestion:
    • Screenshot / image: Receive file path and read with Read
    • Verbal description: Receive as text
    • Both: Image + supplemental description
  2. Lightweight project scan (to ground interview options in reality):
    • Identify screens/​pages from directory structure (pages/, views/, routes/, etc.)
    • Identify component directory structure (components/, etc.)
    • Identify framework and CSS library
  3. Confirm target screen/​component with scan-based options

Phase 2: Interview

Ask in plain language without technical jargon. Carefully clarify vague requests until they're concrete enough to implement.

2-1: Disambiguate Vague Requests

When user input is vague, make it concrete. Prefer offering options over free-form input.

User inputWhat to clarifyHow to ask
"Ugly", "Meh", "Not great"What specifically bothers themOptions: colors / layout / font / spacing / overall impression / other
"Make it nicer"Ideal imageOptions: simple-clean / modern-refined / warm-friendly / bold-impactful + reference sites
"Change this" (location unclear)Specific areaOptions from screen sections or ask for screenshot
"Hard to use"What they tried to doAsk specific scenario: which action / what happened / what they expected
"Want it aligned/​consistent"What's the referenceOptions: match existing screen / new direction + reference screen if any
2-2: Gather Change Details

Use AskUserQuestion to gather (skip what's known from arguments/​images):

  1. What to change: Which part, how to change it (skip if clarified in 2-1)
  2. Reason/​background: Why the change is needed (optional)
  3. Priority: Urgent or next release is fine
2-3: Follow-up Questions

Ask only what's needed based on responses (max 3, don't ask what can be inferred):

SituationWhat to ask
Layout changeBehavior per screen size
Color/​font changeSpecific values or reference sites
New elementPlacement, sizing, interactions
AnimationTiming, type, reference examples
Multi-screen impactImpact scope confirmation
Conditional displayWhich conditions, what display
"Leave it to you"Investigate code then present multiple options
2-4: Confirm Understanding

After interview, summarize understanding in bullet points and confirm with user. Repeat corrections until agreement, then proceed to Phase 3.

Phase 3: Codebase Investigation

  1. Identify target component — Search by screen/​component name with Grep/Glob. Use Explore agent if needed
  2. Understand current state — Check current styling, layout, component structure
  3. Check impact scope — Other screens using same component, shared styles
  4. Check design foundation — Theme settings, design tokens, available existing components

Phase 4: Preview and Output Destination

  1. Create draft from gathered info and investigation (see templates/​issue.md)
  2. Show preview to user
  3. Apply revisions if any (repeat until satisfied)
  4. Confirm output destination with AskUserQuestion:
    • Create GitHub Issue (recommended): design: <change summary> format
    • Save as local MD file: Generate in project root
    • Append to existing Issue: Specify Issue number to add as comment

Phase 5: Output

GitHub Issue (new)
  • Create with gh issue create, title design: <change summary>, label design
  • Report URL to user
Append to Existing Issue
  • Add as comment with gh issue comment <number>
  • Report URL to user
Local MD
  • Generate design-request-<summary-kebab-case>.md in project root
  • Report path to user

Priority Criteria

PriorityCriteria
UrgentSeverely harms user experience, release blocker
HighMajor screen appearance issue, brand inconsistency
MediumNice to improve, can be addressed next release
LowFine-tuning, address when time permits

Rules

  • No technical jargon in interviews. Mirror user's own terms only
  • AskUserQuestion options must be based on project scan results. Never include screens/​components that don't exist in the project
  • Minimal questions. Don't ask what can be inferred
  • Code investigation must verify against actual code, not guess
  • Issues must clearly state before state and expected after state
  • Always preview and get user approval before creating Issue
  • Do not modify code. Output is Issue only
