About team-uidesign
team-uidesign is a team-oriented skill for coordinating UI design through research, design tokens, review, and implementation. It assigns role-specific workers and includes references for design standards, anti-patterns, and quality scoring.
Key features
- 01Coordinate UI design workflows
- 02Research, design tokens, review, and implementation
- 03Assign workers by role
- 04Reference design standards and anti-patterns
- 05Use a quality scoring guide
Use cases
- 01Advance from research to UI implementation
- 02Review interface consistency and quality
- 03Evaluate designs against standards and scoring guidance
MCP support
It coordinates team workers through the `mcp__ccw-tools__team_msg` message bus and uses CLI tools for read-only analysis and modifications.
Install

From the project READMETeam UI Design
Systematic UI design pipeline: research -> design tokens -> review -> implementation. Built on team-worker agent architecture — all worker roles share a single agent definition with role-specific Phase 2-4 loaded from roles/<role>/role.md.

Worker Spawn Template
Coordinator spawns workers using this template:
Agent({
subagent_type: "team-worker",
description: "Spawn <role> worker for <task-id>",
team_name: "uidesign",
name: "<role>",
run_in_background: true,
prompt: `## Role Assignment
role: <role>
role_spec: <skill_root>/roles/<role>/role.md
session: <session-folder>
session_id: <session-id>
team_name: uidesign
requirement: <task-description>
inner_loop: false
## Progress Milestones
session_id: <session-id>
Report progress via team_msg at natural phase boundaries (context loaded -> core work done -> verification).
Report blockers immediately via team_msg type="blocker".
Report completion via team_msg type="task_complete" after final SendMessage.
Read role_spec file (@<skill_root>/roles/<role>/role.md) to load Phase 2-4 domain instructions.
Execute built-in Phase 1 (task discovery) -> role Phase 2-4 -> built-in Phase 5 (report).`
})

Error Handling
| Scenario | Resolution |
|---|---|
| Unknown command | Error with available command list |
| Role not found | Error with role registry |
| Session corruption | Attempt recovery, fallback to manual |
| Fast-advance conflict | Coordinator reconciles on next callback |
| Completion action fails | Default to Keep Active |
| GC loop stuck > 2 rounds | Escalate to user: accept / retry / terminate |
