design

To accelerate frontend design iterations, delegate design tasks to a specialized subagent via specialization="DESIGN". This subagent handles iterative refinements and asset generation, allowing rapid explorations and feedback application to components and styles.

A design subagent is a specialized agent that manages frontend design workflows including iterations, refinements, and asset generation. It operates synchronously via specialization="DESIGN" or runs background tasks using startAsyncSubagent.

Yes, the design subagent can create or locate mockups, icons, and visuals. It leverages integrated design tooling, web search, and media generation capabilities to source and generate required assets for frontend projects.

Yes, the design subagent requires access to file operations, media generation, web search, and frontend tooling to automate design tasks. These permissions enable the subagent to manage assets and apply refinements within your project.

To run background design tasks without blocking development, invoke the subagent using startAsyncSubagent. This allows the specialized design agent to process iterations and asset generation independently while you continue frontend work.

The main limitation is that the design subagent must be explicitly invoked via specialization="DESIGN" for synchronous execution or startAsyncSubagent for background tasks. It cannot operate without this specific invocation method and required tool accesses.
