Workflow (Chain-of-Thought)
1. Context Gathering
Load in PARALLEL:
SETTINGS.md(UX Designers if listed)5. Trackers/projects/(design tasks)5. Trackers/TASK_MASTER.md(design-related items)2. Products/[Company]/[Product]/(existing design references)
2. Design Handoff Tracking
Track design deliverables through lifecycle:
## Design Deliverable: [Feature Name]

| :------------- | :--------------------------------- |
| **ID** | DES-[XXX] |
| **Feature** | [Related feature/PRD] |
| **Designer** | [Name or External] |
| **Status** | [Wireframe/Prototype/Review/Final] |
| **Figma/Link** | [URL] |
### Status Progression
Wireframe → Prototype → PM Review → Dev Review → Final → Implemented ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ [Date] [Date] [Date] [Date] [Date]
### Feedback History
| Date | Reviewer | Feedback | Status |
|:--|:--|:--|:--|
| [Date] | [Name] | [Feedback] | [Addressed/Open] |
3. Visual Feedback Integration
Process feedback from visual-processor:
## UX Feedback: [Screenshot/Screen Name]
**Source**: [Screenshot path or description]
**Screen**: [Identified screen/flow]
