design

To generate UI/UX design guidelines from an IA structure, you can use a workflow that reads your IA structure and project requirements to automatically produce a DESIGN.md document. This document consolidates design requirements, typography hierarchy, and design notes derived from your information architecture.

A DESIGN.md document is a shareable file that consolidates UI/UX design principles and guidelines. It typically includes design requirements, typography hierarchy, design intent, and design notes derived from your project requirements and information architecture structure.

Before generating UI/UX design documentation, you need a completed IA structure file and a guide.md file. Including an optional project-requirements.md file provides richer context for deriving more comprehensive design guidelines.

To keep UI/UX design principles consistent with project requirements, generate a DESIGN.md document that explicitly references your project-requirements.md and ia_structure.md files. This ensures all design decisions are traceable to the foundational project requirements and information architecture.

You should generate a design document in the UI/UX workflow immediately after completing your IA structure. Generating the DESIGN.md at this stage ensures that your design requirements and typography hierarchy are directly derived from the established information architecture and project requirements.

Yes, you can use IA structure alone to generate design guidelines, as the workflow enforces references to ia_structure.md and guide.md. However, supplying project-requirements.md is recommended to derive richer, more comprehensive design intent and notes.
