SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill should be used when the product-owner skill has just produced a user story, when the user asks to "create a mockup", "generate a mockup for this story", "mockup this feature", or "visualize this user story". Produces a self-contained MDX mockup file using project components first, shadcn/ui primitives second, delegating visual design to the frontend-design skill.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generate a self-contained MDX mockup file from a user story, including YAML frontmatter, story context, acceptance criteria sections, and a self-contained JSX mockup with hardcoded data.
  • Save the output to mockups/{story-slug}.mdx and ensure all content is embedded (no live data or external fetches).
  • Leverage project components first, then shadcn/ui primitives for UI scaffolding, with visual design handed off to the frontend-design skill.

Quick Start

Use the mockup skill to generate an MDX mockup for a given user story.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a UI mockup from a user story?

To generate a UI mockup from a user story, provide the story text to produce a self-contained MDX file. The output includes YAML frontmatter, acceptance criteria sections, and embedded JSX with hardcoded data saved to mockups/{story-slug}.mdx.

What is the best way to visualize user stories for frontend development?

Visualizing user stories for frontend development is best achieved by generating self-contained MDX mockups. These files embed hardcoded data and JSX components directly, ensuring a static visual representation without live data or external fetches.

Can I use shadcn/ui components when creating MDX mockups?

Yes, you can use shadcn/ui components when creating MDX mockups. The generation process applies your existing project components first, then falls back to shadcn/ui primitives for UI scaffolding.

How do I create self-contained UI mockups with hardcoded data?

Creating self-contained UI mockups with hardcoded data involves generating an MDX file that embeds all content directly. This ensures no live data or external fetches are needed, producing a static visual representation of the feature.

Does frontend design require a separate tool after generating MDX mockups?

Frontend design requires a separate tool after generating MDX mockups, as visual design is delegated to the frontend-design skill. The mockup generation focuses on structural scaffolding using project components and shadcn/ui primitives.
