SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps teams define and verify UI component state behavior by documenting the state machine, comparing current vs expected states, and mapping transitions to prevent regressions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • State discovery: Identify all component states (Initial, Loading, Success, Error, Empty) and their current vs expected behaviors.
  • Transition mapping: Define triggers and side effects for each state change to ensure predictable UI flows.
  • Visualization: Generate a Mermaid state diagram and data requirements to support testing and refactoring.
  • Use Case: Before refactoring a complex interactive component, produce a state machine that guides implementation and QA.

Quick Start

Start by outlining the component name and list the states, then generate a Mermaid diagram and a phase-by-phase data plan.

FAQPage Schema
How do I document UI component states and transitions to prevent regressions?

Document UI component states by identifying initial, loading, success, error, and empty behaviors, then map triggers and side effects for each transition to ensure predictable flows and prevent regressions.

How do I generate a Mermaid state diagram for interactive UI components?

Generate a Mermaid state diagram by outlining the component name and listing all states, which produces a visual transition map alongside a phase-by-phase data plan to support testing and refactoring.

What is UI state machine discovery and when do I need it for component design?

UI state machine discovery identifies all component states and compares current versus expected behaviors. You need it before refactoring complex interactive or asynchronous components to guide implementation and QA.

Can I use state transition mapping for asynchronous UI workflows across design and development?

Yes, state transition mapping applies to asynchronous UI workflows across design, development, and QA by defining triggers and side effects for each state change to verify expected interactive behavior.

What's the best way to compare current vs expected UI states before refactoring a component?

Compare current vs expected UI states by performing phase-by-phase state discovery to identify discrepancies, then generate a Mermaid diagram and data requirements to guide the refactoring process.

Do I need to specify data requirements for each UI state when mapping transitions?

Yes, specifying data requirements for each UI state is necessary when mapping transitions, as it produces a phase-by-phase data plan that validates state behavior and supports comprehensive QA testing.
