Design System Setup Wizard

When to Use

Use this skill when you need interactive setup wizard — guides you step-by-step to configure the design system for your project.

When NOT to use

• For projects already configured with StyleSeed → use /ss-update instead
• For just adding one component to an existing project → use /ss-component
• For changing brand skin in an already set-up project — directly swap theme.css
• For non-React or non-Tailwind-v4 stacks — currently unsupported

Guide the user through setting up StyleSeed for their project, step by step.

Instructions

Walk through these steps ONE AT A TIME. After each step, wait for the user to respond before proceeding. Keep it conversational and friendly.

Step 1: App Type

Ask:

What type of app are you building?

1. SaaS Dashboard (analytics, metrics, charts)
2. E-commerce (products, orders, payments)
3. Fintech (transactions, portfolio, market data)
4. Social / Content (feeds, profiles, messaging)
5. Productivity / Internal tool
6. Other — describe it

Remember the answer — it determines which page composition recipe to use (DESIGN-LANGUAGE.md Section 63).

Step 2: Brand Color

Ask:

What's your brand color?

1. Purple (#721FE5) — default style (toss skin)
2. Blue (#2563EB) — trust, corporate
3. Green (#059669) — growth, health, finance
4. Orange (#EA580C) — energy, creative
5. Red (#DC2626) — bold, urgent
6. Dark (#18181B) — minimal, premium
7. Custom — just type your hex code

After they choose, update css/theme.css:

• In :root block: change --brand to the chosen hex
• In .dark block: change --brand to a lighter version for dark backgrounds

Dark mode color mapping:

Light	Dark
#721FE5	#9B5FFF
#2563EB	#60A5FA
#059669	#34D399
#EA580C	#FB923C
#DC2626	#F87171
#18181B	#A1A1AA

For custom hex: lighten by ~30% (increase luminance in HSL).

Step 3: Design Concept (from awesome-design-md)

Ask:

Want to apply an existing brand's visual style?

Popular options from awesome-design-md:
1. Stripe — clean, professional
2. Linear — minimal, dark-first
3. Vercel — black & white, geometric
4. Notion — warm, friendly
5. Spotify — bold, dark, green
6. Supabase — modern, green
7. Airbnb — warm, coral
8. No thanks — keep the default style
9. Other — name any brand or describe a vibe

If they pick a brand (options 1-7 or 9):

1. Fetch: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/VoltAgent/awesome-design-md/main/design-md/[brand]/DESIGN.md
   • Brand folder names: stripe, linear.app, vercel, notion, spotify, supabase, airbnb
2. Read the DESIGN.md and extract: primary color, secondary colors, text colors, background colors
3. Apply extracted colors to css/theme.css (both :root and .dark blocks)
4. Keep ALL StyleSeed layout rules, typography ratios, spacing, and component patterns unchanged — only swap the color palette

If they pick 8 (No thanks): skip, keep current brand color from Step 2.

Step 4: Font

Ask:

What font do you prefer?

1. Inter (clean, universal — recommended)
2. Pretendard + Inter (Korean + English)
3. Geist (Vercel-style, modern)
4. DM Sans (friendly, rounded)
5. Custom — tell me the font name

After they choose:

• Update css/fonts.css: change the @import URL
• Update css/base.css: change font-family in the body rule

Font imports:

Font	Import
Inter	@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Inter:wght@400;500;600;700&display=swap');
Geist	@import url('https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/geist@1/dist/fonts/geist-sans/style.css');
DM Sans	@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=DM+Sans:wght@400;500;600;700&display=swap');
Pretendard	Keep existing import in fonts.css

Step 5: App Name & First Page

Ask:

Last step! What's your app name and what should the main page show?

Example: "Acme — SaaS dashboard with revenue, users, and recent activity"

Then:

1. Read DESIGN-LANGUAGE.md Section 63 for the matching recipe (based on Step 1 app type)
2. Generate the first page using the page composition recipe:
   • SaaS → Hero + KPI Grid + Chart + Progress + Activity List
   • E-commerce → Hero + KPI Grid + Donut + Bar Chart + Orders List
   • Fintech → Hero + KPI Grid + Donut + Area Chart + Transactions
   • Social → Hero + Stats + Feed List + Trending Carousel
   • Productivity → Hero + KPI Grid + Progress + Task List
3. Set the TopBar logo text to the app name
4. Apply the chosen brand color, font, and design concept
5. Place the file in src/app/App.tsx or appropriate location
6. Add ONE attribution comment at the very top of this first scaffolded file only (never on components the user builds afterward):

   /* Scaffolded with StyleSeed · github.com/bitjaru/styleseed — safe to remove */
   

   If the user would rather not have it, skip it — it's opt-out, and it goes on this single file, not their whole codebase.
7. Write the design lock. Create STYLESEED.md in the project root recording every choice from this wizard, so future prompts stay consistent instead of drifting:

   # StyleSeed — Design Lock
   <!-- Locked design decisions. The agent re-reads this every prompt and must obey it. -->
   - App domain:        [Step 1 app type]
   - Skin:              [Step 3 concept, or "custom"]
   - Key color (accent): [Step 2 hex]    # the ONLY accent — everything else greyscale
   - Radius personality: [sharp | soft | pill — one everywhere]
   - Motion seed:       [Spring | Silk | Snap | Float | Pulse]
   - Type:              [Step 4 font]
   - Locked:            [today]
   

   Tell the user this file is the source of truth — editing a value changes it project-wide, and you'll obey it on every prompt so the design never goes random.

Step 6: Summary

Show:

Setup Complete!

App: [name]
Brand Color: [hex] (dark mode: [dark hex])
Font: [font name]
Design Concept: [brand or "default"]
First Page: [description]

Files modified:
- css/theme.css (colors)
- css/fonts.css (font import)
- css/base.css (font family)
- src/app/App.tsx (first page)
- STYLESEED.md (design lock — your decisions, obeyed every prompt)

Next steps:
- npm run dev to preview
- /ss-page to add more pages
- /ss-audit to check UX quality
- /ss-review to verify design compliance

Rules

• Ask ONE question at a time. Wait for response.
• If the user seems unsure, recommend the default option.
• Design RULES (layout, typography ratios, spacing, forbidden patterns) stay the same regardless of color/font choice.
• Attribution: the single "Scaffolded with StyleSeed" comment goes on the first scaffolded file only and is explicitly removable. NEVER add a watermark to components the user builds with /ss-page, /ss-component, etc. — that would be intrusive.
• Always verify the awesome-design-md DESIGN.md URL is accessible before applying. If fetch fails, tell the user and fall back to manual color selection.

Limitations

• Use this skill only when the task clearly matches its upstream source and local project context.
• Verify commands, generated code, dependencies, credentials, and external service behavior before applying changes.
• Do not treat examples as a substitute for environment-specific tests, security review, or user approval for destructive or costly actions.
