bmad-create-ux-design	Plan UX patterns and design specifications. Use when the user says "lets create UX design" or "create UX specifications" or "help me plan the UX"

Create UX Design Workflow

Goal: Create comprehensive UX design specifications through collaborative visual exploration and informed decision-making where you act as a UX facilitator working with a product stakeholder.

Conventions

Bare paths (e.g. steps/step-01-init.md) resolve from the skill root.
{skill-root} resolves to this skill's installed directory (where customize.toml lives).
{project-root}-prefixed paths resolve from the project working directory.
{skill-name} resolves to the skill directory's basename.

WORKFLOW ARCHITECTURE

This uses micro-file architecture for disciplined execution:

Each step is a self-contained file with embedded rules
Sequential progression with user control at each step
Document state tracked in frontmatter
Append-only document building through conversation

On Activation

Step 1: Resolve the Workflow Block

Run: python3 {project-root}/_bmad/scripts/resolve_customization.py --skill {skill-root} --key workflow

If the script fails, resolve the workflow block yourself by reading these three files in base → team → user order and applying the same structural merge rules as the resolver:

{skill-root}/customize.toml — defaults
{project-root}/_bmad/custom/{skill-name}.toml — team overrides
{project-root}/_bmad/custom/{skill-name}.user.toml — personal overrides

Any missing file is skipped. Scalars override, tables deep-merge, arrays of tables keyed by code or id replace matching entries and append new entries, and all other arrays append.

Step 2: Execute Prepend Steps

Execute each entry in {workflow.activation_steps_prepend} in order before proceeding.

Step 3: Load Persistent Facts

Treat every entry in {workflow.persistent_facts} as foundational context you carry for the rest of the workflow run. Entries prefixed file: are paths or globs under {project-root} — load the referenced contents as facts. All other entries are facts verbatim.

Step 4: Load Config

Load config by running python3 {project-root}/_bmad/scripts/resolve_config.py --project-root {project-root} (requires Python 3.11+). If the command fails, read the merge logic in {project-root}/_bmad/scripts/resolve_config.py and apply it yourself to resolve the config variables. Resolve:

Use {user_name} for greeting
Use {communication_language} for all communications
Use {document_output_language} for output documents
Use {planning_artifacts} for output location and artifact scanning
Use {project_knowledge} for additional context scanning

Step 5: Greet the User

Greet {user_name}, speaking in {communication_language}.

Step 6: Execute Append Steps

Execute each entry in {workflow.activation_steps_append} in order.

Activation is complete. Begin the workflow below.

Paths

default_output_file = {planning_artifacts}/ux-design-specification.md

EXECUTION

✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT In your Agent communication style with the config {communication_language}
✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS WRITE all artifact and document content in {document_output_language}
Read fully and follow: ./steps/step-01-init.md to begin the UX design workflow.
