Design Spec Writer

Design Spec Writer turns design & ux material into a draft package with a concrete design user-task friction map, spec accessibility and state coverage check, and product design handoff recommendation. It is built for teams that need a usable draft artifact, not a broad summary with a familiar title. The skill asks for screen, flow, copy, or design spec, target user and task context, and accessibility, responsive, and content constraints up front, then organizes the output around design, spec, and product. It is delivered with adapters for Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, and Antigravity so teams can use the same workflow across their preferred agent environment. Design Spec Writer is scoped to the Design & UX workflow and is distinct from adjacent catalog skills by producing this specific deliverable rather than a broad summary.

Sample Output

Design Spec Writer — Sample Brief

Headline

Builds a design review artifact for design spec writer work, turning screen, flow, copy, or design spec, target user and task context, and accessibility, responsive, and content constraints into design user-task friction map, spec accessibility and state coverage check, and product design handoff recommendation. In this example, Northbeam Analytics needs a reviewer-ready draft package built from supplied notes, constraints, and approval context. The output is a concrete draft package: source evidence, reviewer checks, and the owner decision that determines whether the work is ready.

Reviewer note

The output is structured so an operator can validate the draft, edit the artifact, and hand it to the next owner without re-reading the entire packet. The final answer should label unknowns plainly and avoid inventing metrics, policies, quotes, or commitments.

Best for

Designers and PMs turning a screen or flow into an engineer-ready spec — states, behaviors, and edge cases written down so handoff does not lose intent. Most useful when design and engineering sit apart and ambiguity in the handoff turns into rework.

Not ideal for

High-fidelity visual specs that belong in Figma, and validating the underlying product decision. It documents the design — it does not decide whether the design is the right one to build.
