Fluxwing Screenshot Importer
Import UI screenshots and convert them to the uxscii standard by orchestrating specialized vision agents.
Data Location Rules
READ from (bundled templates - reference only):
{SKILL_ROOT}/../uxscii-component-creator/templates/- 11 component templates (for reference){SKILL_ROOT}/docs/- Screenshot processing documentation
WRITE to (project workspace):
./fluxwing/components/- Extracted components (.uxm + .md)./fluxwing/screens/- Screen composition (.uxm + .md + .rendered.md)
NEVER write to skill directories - they are read-only!
Your Task
Import a screenshot of a UI design and automatically generate uxscii components and screens by orchestrating specialized agents:
- Vision Coordinator Agent - Spawns 3 parallel vision agents (layout + components + properties)
- Component Generator Agents - Generate component files in parallel (atomic + composite)
- Screen Scaffolder Skill - Delegates to fluxwing-screen-scaffolder for screen composition
⚠️ ORCHESTRATION RULES:
YOU CAN (as orchestrator):
- ✅ Spawn vision analysis agents
- ✅ Spawn component generator agents
- ✅ Invoke fluxwing-screen-scaffolder skill
- ✅ Read screenshots
- ✅ Validate vision data
YOU CANNOT (worker mode - forbidden):
- ⚠️ Create screen files yourself using Write/Edit tools
- ⚠️ Generate .uxm, .md, or .rendered.md files for screens
- ⚠️ "Help" the scaffolder by pre-creating screen files
- ⚠️ Use TodoWrite to work through screen creation tasks yourself
For screen composition: ALWAYS delegate to fluxwing-screen-scaffolder skill. It will spawn composer agents that create all screen files (.uxm, .md, .rendered.md).
Workflow
Phase 1: Get Screenshot Path
Ask the user for the screenshot path if not provided:
- "Which screenshot would you like to import?"
- Validate file exists and is a supported format (PNG, JPG, JPEG, WebP, GIF)
// Example
const screenshotPath = "/path/to/screenshot.png";
Phase 2: Spawn Vision Coordinator Agent
CRITICAL: Spawn the screenshot-vision-coordinator agent to orchestrate parallel vision analysis.
This agent will:
- Spawn 3 vision agents in parallel (layout discovery + component detection + visual properties)
- Wait for all agents to complete
- Merge results into unified component data structure
- Return JSON with screen metadata, components array, and composition
Task({
subagent_type: "general-purpose",
description: "Analyze screenshot with vision analysis",
prompt: `You are a UI screenshot analyzer extracting component structure for uxscii.
Screenshot path: ${screenshotPath}
Your task:
1. Read the screenshot image file
2. Analyze the UI layout structure (vertical, horizontal, grid, sidebar+main)
3. Detect all UI components (buttons, inputs, navigation, cards, etc.)
4. Extract visual properties (colors, spacing, borders, typography)
5. Identify component hierarchy (atomic vs composite)
6. Merge all findings into a unified data structure
7. Return valid JSON output
CRITICAL detection requirements:
- Do NOT miss navigation elements (check all edges - top, left, right, bottom)
- Do NOT miss small elements (icons, badges, close buttons, status indicators)
- Identify composite components (forms, cards with multiple elements)
- Note spatial relationships between components
Expected output format (valid JSON only, no markdown):
{
"success": true,
"screen": {
"id": "screen-name",
"type": "dashboard|login|profile|settings",
"name": "Screen Name",
"description": "What this screen does",
"layout": "vertical|horizontal|grid|sidebar-main"
},
"components": [
{
"id": "component-id",
"type": "button|input|navigation|etc",
"name": "Component Name",
"description": "What it does",
"visualProperties": {...},
"isComposite": false
}
],
"composition": {
"atomicComponents": ["id1", "id2"],
"compositeComponents": ["id3"],
"screenComponents": ["screen-id"]
}
}
Use your vision capabilities to analyze the screenshot carefully.`
})
Wait for the vision coordinator to complete and return results.
Phase 3: Validate Vision Data
Check the returned data structure:
const visionData = visionCoordinatorResult;
// Required fields
if (!visionData.success) {
throw new Error(`Vision analysis failed: ${visionData.error}`);
}
if (!visionData.components || visionData.components.length === 0) {
throw new Error("No components detected in screenshot");
}
// Navigation check (CRITICAL)
const hasNavigation = visionData.components.some(c =>
c.type === 'navigation' || c.id.includes('nav') || c.id.includes('header')
);
if (visionData.screen.type === 'dashboard' && !hasNavigation) {
console.warn("⚠️ Dashboard detected but no navigation found - verify all nav elements were detected");
}
Phase 4: Spawn Component Generator Agents (Parallel)
CRITICAL: YOU MUST spawn ALL component generator agents in a SINGLE message with multiple Task tool calls. This is the ONLY way to achieve true parallel execution.
DO THIS: Send ONE message containing ALL Task calls for all components DON'T DO THIS: Send separate messages for each component (this runs them sequentially)
For each atomic component, create a Task call in the SAME message:
Task({
subagent_type: "general-purpose",
description: "Generate email-input component",
prompt: "You are a uxscii component generator. Generate component files from vision data.
Component data: {id: 'email-input', type: 'input', visualProperties: {...}}
Your task:
1. Load schema from {SKILL_ROOT}/../uxscii-component-creator/schemas/uxm-component.schema.json
2. Load docs from {SKILL_ROOT}/docs/screenshot-import-helpers.md
3. Generate .uxm file (valid JSON with default state only)
4. Generate .md file (ASCII template matching visual properties)
5. Save to ./fluxwing/components/
6. Return success with file paths
Follow uxscii standard strictly."
})
Task({
subagent_type: "general-purpose",
description: "Generate password-input component",
prompt: "You are a uxscii component generator. Generate component files from vision data.
Component data: {id: 'password-input', type: 'input', visualProperties: {...}}
Your task:
1. Load schema from {SKILL_ROOT}/../uxscii-component-creator/schemas/uxm-component.schema.json
2. Load docs from {SKILL_ROOT}/docs/screenshot-import-helpers.md
3. Generate .uxm file (valid JSON with default state only)
4. Generate .md file (ASCII template matching visual properties)
5. Save to ./fluxwing/components/
6. Return success with file paths
Follow uxscii standard strictly."
})
Task({
subagent_type: "general-purpose",
description: "Generate submit-button component",
prompt: "You are a uxscii component generator. Generate component files from vision data.
Component data: {id: 'submit-button', type: 'button', visualProperties: {...}}
Your task:
1. Load schema from {SKILL_ROOT}/../uxscii-component-creator/schemas/uxm-component.schema.json
2. Load docs from {SKILL_ROOT}/docs/screenshot-import-helpers.md
3. Generate .uxm file (valid JSON with default state only)
4. Generate .md file (ASCII template matching visual properties)
5. Save to ./fluxwing/components/
6. Return success with file paths
Follow uxscii standard strictly."
})
... repeat for ALL atomic components in the SAME message ...
... then for composite components in the SAME message:
Task({
subagent_type: "general-purpose",
description: "Generate login-form composite",
prompt: "You are a uxscii component generator. Generate composite component from vision data.
Component data: {id: 'login-form', type: 'form', components: [...], visualProperties: {...}}
IMPORTANT: Include component references in props.components array.
Your task:
1. Load schema from {SKILL_ROOT}/../uxscii-component-creator/schemas/uxm-component.schema.json
2. Generate .uxm with components array in props
3. Generate .md with {{component:id}} references
4. Save to ./fluxwing/components/
5. Return success
Follow uxscii standard strictly."
})
Remember: ALL Task calls must be in a SINGLE message for parallel execution!
Phase 5: Delegate Screen Composition to Scaffolder
CRITICAL: YOU ARE AN ORCHESTRATOR - delegate screen creation to the screen-scaffolder skill!
⚠️ DO NOT create screen files yourself using Write/Edit tools!
After all components are created, use the fluxwing-screen-scaffolder to compose screens:
Single Screen Import:
// Invoke screen-scaffolder skill
Skill({ command: "fluxwing-skills:fluxwing-screen-scaffolder" })
// The scaffolder will:
// 1. See all components already exist (you just created them)
// 2. Skip component creation (Step 3)
// 3. Spawn ONE composer agent (Step 4)
// 4. Composer creates .uxm + .md + .rendered.md
Multiple Screenshots Import (N > 1):
// After analyzing ALL screenshots and creating ALL components
// Invoke screen-scaffolder skill ONCE
Skill({ command: "fluxwing-skills:fluxwing-screen-scaffolder" })
// Tell it about the screens:
// "I've imported N screenshots and created X components.
// Please compose these N screens: [list screen names and component lists]"
// The scaffolder will:
// 1. Detect multi-screen scenario (N > 1)
// 2. Confirm with user
// 3. Skip component creation (all exist)
// 4. Spawn N composer agents in parallel (one per screen)
// 5. Each composer creates 3 files (.uxm, .md, .rendered.md)
// Result: 3N files created by scaffolder agents
What you provide to scaffolder:
- Screen name and type (from vision analysis)
- Component list (what components the screen needs)
- Layout structure (from vision data)
- Screenshot path (for .rendered.md generation)
Phase 6: Report Results
Create comprehensive summary:
# Screenshot Import Complete ✓
## Screenshot Analysis
- File: ${screenshotPath}
- Screen type: ${screenData.type}
- Layout: ${screenData.layout}
## Components Generated
### Atomic Components (${atomicCount})
${atomicComponents.map(c => `✓ ${c.id} (${c.type})`).join('\n')}
### Composite Components (${compositeCount})
${compositeComponents.map(c => `✓ ${c.id} (${c.type})`).join('\n')}
### Screen
✓ ${screenId}
## Files Created
**Components** (./fluxwing/components/):
- ${totalComponentFiles} files (.uxm + .md)
**Screen** (./fluxwing/screens/):
- ${screenId}.uxm
- ${screenId}.md
- ${screenId}.rendered.md
**Total: ${totalFiles} files created**
## Performance
- Vision analysis: Parallel (3 agents) ⚡
- Component generation: Parallel (${atomicCount + compositeCount} agents) ⚡
- Total time: ~${estimatedTime}s
## Next Steps
1. Review screen: `cat ./fluxwing/screens/${screenId}.rendered.md`
2. Add interaction states to components
3. Customize components as needed
4. View all components
Vision Agents Used
This skill orchestrates 5 specialized vision agents:
- screenshot-vision-coordinator - Orchestrates parallel analysis
- screenshot-component-detection - Finds UI elements
- screenshot-layout-discovery - Understands structure
- screenshot-visual-properties - Extracts styling
- screenshot-component-generator - Creates .uxm/.md files
Example Interaction
User: Import this screenshot at /Users/me/Desktop/login.png
Skill: I'll import the UI screenshot and generate uxscii components!

- Add states to make components interactive
Quality Standards
Ensure imported components include:
- ✓ Valid JSON schema compliance
- ✓ Complete metadata (name, description, tags)
- ✓ Proper component types
- ✓ ASCII art matches detected visual properties
- ✓ All detected components extracted
- ✓ Screen composition includes all components
- ✓ Rendered example with realistic data
Important Notes
- Parallel execution is critical: All agents must be spawned in a single message
- Navigation elements: Verify top nav, side nav, footer nav are detected
- Small elements: Don't miss icons, badges, close buttons, status indicators
- Composite components: Forms, cards with multiple elements
- Screen files: Always create 3 files (.uxm, .md, .rendered.md)
- Validation: Check vision data before generating components
Error Handling
If vision analysis fails:
✗ Vision analysis failed: [error message]
Please check:
- Screenshot file exists and is readable
- File format is supported (PNG, JPG, JPEG, WebP, GIF)
- Screenshot contains visible UI elements
If component generation fails:
⚠️ Partial success: 3 of 5 components generated
Successful:
✓ email-input
✓ password-input
✓ submit-button
Failed:
✗ cancel-link: [error]
✗ login-form: [error]
You can retry failed components or create them manually.
If no components detected:
✗ No components detected in screenshot.
This could mean:
- Screenshot is blank or unclear
- UI elements are too small to detect
- Screenshot is not a UI design
Please try a different screenshot or create components manually.
