| How to Create a UX Design | How to create UX specifications using the BMad Method |
Use the create-ux-design workflow to create UX specifications for projects where user experience is a primary differentiator.
When to Use This
- UX is primary competitive advantage
- Complex user workflows needing design thinking
- Innovative interaction patterns
- Design system creation
- Accessibility-critical experiences
When to Skip This
- Simple CRUD interfaces
- Internal tools with standard patterns
- Changes to existing screens you're happy with
- Quick Flow projects
Prerequisites
- BMad Method installed
- UX Designer agent available
- PRD completed
Steps
1. Load the UX Designer Agent
Start a fresh chat and load the UX Designer agent.
2. Run the UX Design Workflow
*create-ux-design
3. Provide Context
Point the agent to your PRD and describe:
- Key user journeys
- UX priorities
- Any existing design patterns
4. Collaborate on Design
The workflow uses a collaborative approach:
- Visual exploration - Generate multiple options
- Informed decisions - Evaluate with user needs
- Collaborative design - Refine iteratively
- Living documentation - Evolves with project
5. Review the UX Spec
The agent produces comprehensive UX documentation.
What You Get
The ux-spec.md document includes:
- User journeys
- Wireframes and mockups
- Interaction specifications
- Design system (components, patterns, tokens)
- Epic breakdown (UX stories)
Example
Dashboard redesign produces:
- Card-based layout with split-pane toggle
- 5 card components
- 12 color tokens
- Responsive grid
- 3 epics (Layout, Visualization, Accessibility)
Integration
The UX spec feeds into:
- PRD updates
- Epic and story creation
- Architecture decisions (Phase 3)
Tips
- Focus on user problems, not solutions first
- Generate multiple options before deciding
- Consider accessibility from the start
- Document component reusability
