MindStudio Interface Designer — Master Frontend Skill

This skill governs every UI/UX task performed via Claude Code through the MindStudio local tunnel. It combines collaborative design discovery, bold aesthetic execution, comprehensive UX intelligence, React performance best practices, and a rigorous pre-delivery quality checklist — all tuned specifically for the MindStudio Interface Designer environment.

The Interface Designer outputs React components that are compiled and deployed directly into MindStudio User Input blocks. Every interface you build here is a live, interactive part of an AI agent workflow. Design accordingly: the interface must be functional, polished, accessible, and feel native to the product it serves.

Phase 1: Discovery — Always Interview First

Never jump straight to code. Before any design or implementation work, run a focused discovery conversation. Ask one question at a time. Prefer multiple-choice when possible. The goal is to understand purpose, user, constraints, and aesthetic direction before a single line of code is written.

Discovery Questions (ask sequentially, stop when you have enough)
